    Just had this conversation with my daughter when she asked "what do we do next year? No curse, no "haven't won a 1st round"?

    I said "the narrative has changed. Everyone is now chasing us. We are the best."

    MFCSS is dead and buried.

    Can we somehow prevail upon the MCC to allow a ceremony like Lou Richards was allowed for burying the Colliwobbles?

    MFCSS has been cured by Premiership glory!

     

    I can't wipe the smile off my face! It is surreal...but yes...the Melbourne Football Club are 2021 Premiers!

    To all of us who suffer from MFCSS (Andy, this means you too), it's time to let it go. Cleanse your psyches. It's no longer relevant. The next phase is to not get too arrogant, to learn to enjoy success like a normal person. I'm not sure how I'll go but I'm trying. A friend was a long suffering Royboy, confessed that after the Lions third consecutive flag, it wasn't as satisfying. A bit like too many chocolates. However, I'm willing to test that hypothesis.

    I think a form of MFCSS or at least some of the symptoms will always be there. Sure the no premiership aspect is forever gone but I just want my team to win and be successful. I certainly am not embarrassed in any way to tell people who I barrack for anymore. 

    There was always that nervous giggle when I would tell people "ha ha I go for Melbourne, yeah I know, no I'm not off to the snow, well I do have a Range Rover but that's besides the point". 

    If in a few years (and hopefully it's a lot further away) we fall into a heap and become a basket case those symptoms will come flooding back. It won't quite be the "woe is us we'll never win a flag" type thing but it all comes back to me wanting us to win and be successful on and off the field.

    I'm sick of being last or mediocre or the butt of the joke and the premiership might change that for a few years but I still want us to win and be the best, be competitive and make finals at the very least. 

    If we hit rock bottom or become also rans I'm sure some aspects will flood back. Look at Carlton supporters. I have a lot of mates who I have personally diagnosed with Stage 2 CFCSS. These arrogant [censored] would tease me mercilessly about not having a flag no matter how many times we beat them in games and finals. I had no comeback to that. Thankfully that is no longer an issue. I won't be as arrogant as they were about it as I'm not 12 but I have a new found air of confidence about me that I hope will last. A few more flags might turn me into an insufferable [censored]. 

    They're still in their denial phase and are a long way off the acceptance phase. I hear them all up and about in preseasons just like we were for 30 years saying this'll be our year. False dawns aplenty down there. Poor bastards kids are embarrassed to wear their footy jumpers at school. They could be the true generation of CFCSS sufferers

    In 1987 we made the finals and were looking to break a 23 year drought. My MFCSS was slowly built on during the next 34 years to the full blown case you have all seen recently. 34 years between 1987 and 2021. That's 11 more years than the distance between 1964 and 1987. No wonder I was a basket case. Those scars don't just melt away. I have footy's form of PTSD from that trauma. It can never truly go away. I want more premierships so if things go south the MFCSS won't wait 34 years to build into a raging hot mess. 

    My medicine will be to whack on the 2021 Grand Final and that should soothe me for awhile. 

    Or I could quietly take solace in my Carlton friends misery as they enter their 27th year without a flag and their memories of 1995 slowly fade.

    Cured the mfcss but could do with a booster next year

    It’s gone. We have to accept that we aren’t the whipping boys anymore.

    Demons are now the top team and the ones to beat.

    Now even the non-existent “curse” is gone. Now we can stop using it for an excuse if we don’t win a grand final.

    Only Hawthorn are a team that we owe grand final revenge against. All other we have beaten  in grand finals.

    Melbourne football club super smug…

    Whats wrong with that???

    I've already consulted Hawk supporting mates on lessons in being smug. Also asked if they had any training manuals for smugness as they won't be needing them in the foreseeable future

    I might be getting the hang of this

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
