All this thread needs is a premature club mail out commemorating the occasion.

Hopefully our club isn't so starved of success they feel the need to release one of these

    I'd buy the 25 disc set (only on Blu-Ray though).

    Why start a post 'Top of the Ladder' before the game has been played? Melbourne has form in putting the cart before horses. Patience, let it unfold, if they are the real thing, they are the real thing. THat will be determined week by week. It has been a STRANGE season so far, topsy upon turvy and vice versa. Remember too, we would like to be September heroes for a change. March to July are one act preludes.

    How normal Melbourne supporters are acting right now exhibit A:

    Me to my dad: good news Port are losing 

    My Dad: things are going too well... bad [censored] is going to start happening soon 

    Me: yep

    Don't you feel it Jaded? This is it. There's something in the air, and for the first time in 50 years it's something GOOD!!! Just go with it, because if you don't then it might not happen.

    Enjoy the run... i certainly shall

    The challenge always was in the second half of the season.

    When I saw the draw I thought we could with luck go 8-3 or better for the first half

    Brisbane in Alice is looking tough along with the Dogs game

    Let's face it while we have had a few finals appearances the seasons themselves have been mainly excruciatingly close.

    A little MFCSS brewing in me that such a great opportunity can be blown by us, I’d just love the boys to be on from the first bounce and smash any signs of an upset away by quarter time.

    Well ... Golllllllllllllllllllllllly

    we're there

    it wasn't pretty but it will feel better in the morning

    Go Dees

    our team should be really fresh for next weeks game, given half of them didn’t seem to warrant putting in too much effort (captain included).

    So many posts aged so well in this thread ?‍♀️

    “A lot” simply means we will struggle to put them away for most of the game by playing a lazy, selfish style of play.

    I think I nailed it.

    I also said today that McDonald wouldn’t play as a defender again and about 30 seconds later he was playing as a defender.

    They talked the other week about how Jones has played nearly the most games with his team without his team never being on top. Now he has, they don’t want to talk about it. So used to the Demons being the whipping boys, they only want to produce negative news about the Dees.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
