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?

Melbourne

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!!

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

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.

I have a bad feeling about premature congratulations.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this MFCSS ?? 

 

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+.

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)

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
