No you won't Andy, I promise!  Once you've savoured the first, the appetite continues to grow.  I've been lucky enough to see 7 of our 12, and I can't wait to celebrate number 13 (which for the first time I'll be permitted to celebrate with something a bit stronger than lemonade!).

 So did you actually see our 1948 premiership win then Deeoldfart?

It’s not too much to ask to see Barrett’s “ Sliding Doors” comment come to fruition is it?

If	you've kicked 69 goals in your past three matches ...
then	we've got you down for 30 at Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Bulldogs kicked two goals total in round nine, and none after half-time last week.

LOL! 

It looks like 'purple' is the one now drinking our bathwater!!

I don't feel like we'll smash them, Bevo will turn the game into a (groan) dogfight, but we'll come away with the win by 3-5 goals

The win and the tie before it (but I was too young to remember any of it).  Been rusted on ever since.

He’s taking a “scattergun approach” to writing articles.

I like this quote from a st kilda fan over on reddit

"If I've learned anything in the last three weeks, it's "play Melbourne if you wanna get f****d"

This was very true for so many Demons supporters; the taste of victory in succession, every other year, every other game was hypnotic, addictive, unquenchable, greedy, luscious, anticipated and granted by the footballers.

Thought I told you, Tony Tea? With that infection, spluttering stuff all over us mournfully, ain't it time you tried to far cough?

I was 9 months old when we won our last flag. I have been suffering from MFCSS for most of my life. It is an insidious form of self doubting depression. For the coming of a premiership cup may to Demons may be the only form of recovery even if only till the first loss the following year.

I have genuine sympathy for those who are so scarred by our past that they cannot enjoy the beautiful football we are playing at the moment without being pessimistic and feeling the need to remind everyone that it can all fall apart. Enjoy it guys, I've been waiting 31 years for this and am loving every moment of it.

I think a Premiership is the only thing that will do it for me. I see the way we're playing and I know we can beat anyone but I'm so scarred by the past that I can't believe that we can be successful. It's all in my head. We were 60 points up last week and I was still thinking we could lose it despite what was actually happening. I need help.

When Hogan played on and was disallowed a shot at goal at 3 quarter time that would have put us 86 up a tiny voice in my head said "I hope that doesn't cost us"

I think threads like this are better after we've won by 80+.

We need to start a support group.

My father-in-law was an Essendon supporter in 1948, and he still goes on about how Melbourne brought back $%^&*# Jack Mueller to play full-forward and how he kicked 8, 6 and 6 goals in three finals to win the flag for Melbourne.

I think he actually kicked it as well (with a drop punt)

If the players start drinking bath water again then it’s cold showers for them.
