    Goodwin told us all that they playing group look forward to those very situations and will learn from past mistakes,

    Now we've actually done it and got the monkey off our back ... flayed it, skinned it, deep fried it and made it into dim sims ... more great things are in store.

    Finally!  Finally! Finally!  Demons are in the finals!!  Emotional moment.

    Now, look forward to receiving mfc invitation Finals tickets?. 

    Next week we can relax and enjoy the game - no need to rely on any other results. 

    Only thing to work out is where our 1st final is held.

    Go Dees

    Not to put a damper on this thread, but if Port does Essendon by around 200 points and we lose to GWS by a similar margin then we wont play finals. Hopefully we will all be able to relax a bit after Friday night.

    We've also had 5 changes of Prime Minister!

    Ipads didn't exist.

    ...and like you I had no children.

    This is wild. i'll be a happy man all week.

     

    Had no kids then. Still don’t, doubt I ever will.

    Still vaguely remember 1987, but was still a youngish girl then. Nice to relive at least a taste of what that was like

    I remember one game when I was still in Australia when we rolled Carlton for our first win of that year.

    As I was walking back to the city, I walked by other Melbourne supporters and we gave each other a first pump. We were that bloody happy.

    How I wish I was back in Oz to do the same again.

    I'd almost give up finals to see Essendon lose by that much.

    I don't want to be satisfied because you don't anything in August blah blah blah.

    But [censored] me, we are relevant again and it feels great.

    Demons!

    I am so ridiculously pumped.

    My phone has been in meltdown since the final siren. Despite copping stacks of carp over the years for supporting the Demons, most of my mates (non-MFC supporters) actually seem to be very happy that we made it.

    Now let’s do some damage in the next 6 weeks.

    Who cares what anyone says. We all know a flag is the goal, but we can celebrate milestones on the way, and this one is enormous, especially the way it happened.

    Enjoy it, Demons.

    Posted this on the Post-Match thread, but does anyone have any idea who we might be playing first up in the finals (depending on win/loose against GWS)?

    If we win we’ll finish 5th and play Geel at the MCG (home).

    if we win and Freo beat Coll we will finish 4th and play Richmond

    If we lose, we’ll likely finish 8th and play GWS at Spotless

    Choked up again see that?.

    I hope no one on here ever again claims the jumper and finals don't mean much to the team.

    These two have ridden just about every wave of the last 12 years with us supporters.  A beautiful day for them.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
