When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?

We’re on fox sorts. Still not over and want to keep watching and reliving it. I’m exhausted but can’t even phantom sleep. Never seen my dad (or my uncle for that matter.)

He said he never once thought that I was ever, “less devoted” as my brothers being a girl. He told me how happy he was there to share it with him. This has been one of the closest moments ever for us. Mum would have been proud.

Thank you so much boys. Love you so much 🥰

I hope the next premiership is not 57 years away because I wont live to see it.

I have had the great pleasure to see 7 flags in the time I have followed the team from 1952 and this team is not just good but great and hopefully they will do what the Melbourne teams of the 1950's and 1960's did to play in the finals for 11 years from 1954 to 1964 and win multiple premierships.

It was fitting that they won on the ground were in 2018 their premiership hopes were dashed.

Don't worry next year isn't far away

If you think I wasn't taking the P!ss, you missed my point.

Yesterday and even today are some of the most enjoyable moments I can remember barracking for the dees.

Hoping we win a premiership at the G but that one in Perth was a drought breaker for us members and fans.The best game I have seen in my life.

We haven't won one at the G but we will.

So happy to be a Melbourne supporter at the moment.

So I haven't fact checked this, but happy to stand corrected if I have been misled... apparently no premiership team in VFL/AFL history has ever played a single game together after they have won the premiership.  Could we be the first?

love that we've finally crept off 12 flags up to 13.. only a few more and we will be back to the top of the tree.. THEN i will get a MFC neck tattoo. well, maybe not a neck tattoo.. but i'll work out something.

That 13 truly was an unlucky number for us. But it’s done now

3.9 million* people watched the game on TV. Surely that's the biggest audience Melboure has ever played in front of.

*Excluding the billions of overseas viewers that the AFL used to claim would watch the Grand Final because it was being shown in markets with total population in the billions, but with a likely viewing audience of, perhaps, thousands.

This may be in one of the other 3.2 million threads started on Demonland in the last 36 hours, but is our total winning margin of 190 in the three finals a VFL/AFL record?

Here's a random one... the Dee's have never lost a game while I have been in WA....

Year 2000 was in WA last round of H&A (WCE in Perth - Bluey McKennas final game) through to the prelim... I flew back to Melbourne for the Gf!!! 

2021 was in WA from the final H&A game and Flew from Broome to Perth for the GF (watched the Prelim in Derby after doing the Gibb River Road)

Nice to not be on these lists.

It's a shame the Suns are there (maybe they can have a late-season win when we're 3 or 4 games clear on top): a '9' with 'Geelong' next to it, in about 2024, will be nice...

Interested to know at what stage of the season did everyone "know" that we were the real deal, and were a serious shot at a flag.

Would have to go back through my own history, but I reckon I had us as premiership favorites maybe 6 rounds prior to end of regular season.

As a 40+ year negative nancy, that was a bloody good feeling.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
