Best wishes to them.

Shows what belief can do.


Jeez they established a new standard today didn't they?

I looked at the players accepting their medals wondering how the hell they managed to pull it off with so many players not considered as stars.

They are the new benchmark, and deserve everything they got, especially considering their terrible injury run, and winning run of 4 finals.

What a team.

 

We have a huge amount of work to do before we can dare to dream like they did.

So proud of the Doggies. Such a proud club that has no excuses and continully bust there guts. Well done doggies.

The thread title is is wrong.

We could technically stink it up for a few more years before that honour.

i only have one club, MFC, but nothing but absolute respect and admiration for an unbelievable club performance that we witnessed this year from the bulldogs.

Relax max, see edit, took initial comment too literally. 

Totally admire the dogs and congratulate them. It all just raises anguish for when we'll see success. Flagrant jelousy..

Yes, the title should have the adjective 'dubious' precede 'honour'.

Fair play.

I know how to fix a 52 year drought. ......drink more beer and forget! 

No where to hide now MFC

Hard work ahead. Only the players willing to sacrifice that extra will make it. 

Beveridge started his career as a Demon under Swooper. He was a good player, not special. 

But he sure knows how to get the best out of a bunch of kids ( with really bad haircuts)

Totally agree with this. They are so deeply embedded in the western suburbs community.

My sentiments exactly. The thing about Melbourne is that we've won 12, so I doubt you'd see the same universal support like you saw for the Bulldogs. 

And I know I'm biased, but it'd be terrific for the game if Melbourne won another flag. It'd just mean another strong Melbourne club with a chance of becoming a powerhouse like Hawthorn have done. Then you'd have Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton, Richmond, Hawthorn and Melbourne. A big 6.

Well, I can dream anyway. That day is going to be bloody sweet though.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
