And to think I was wondering how I’d spend the weekend. The replay will be a joy to watch, and the one time of the year when I buy a Herald Sun. Well, hopefully, the second last time I do that.

He and the team deserved a reception like that. Thanks to all of you who made it possible.

It looked like there was incredible support for Melbourne....


Thought the umpiring was exceptional tonight, hardly noticed them which usually they did a great job.

In honour of the club’s sponsor I’ve knocked back a fair few Furphy’s! They taste bloody good I tell ya what. 

Now I do have to say a couple of notes:

I’m gutted (like so many here) that we aren’t seeing this live, it’s a cruel twist of fate but the players are playing for us even on the other side of the country. 

There are going to be those who miss out that have deserved to be a part of it. Jonesy is the obvious one, Melksham is extremely unlikely, and of course poor Tommo who was in tears after the game. It’s heartbreaking, but I love all of you guys. 

On a positive, despite it not being in Melbourne I have to say thank you to the WA public for getting behind the Dees. They loved cheering for Max Gawn and I have no doubt that he was putting on a show for them. Great atmosphere, not gonna beat the G on GF day but nothing does. All aboard the Melbourne train!

Agree the Perth support was awesome I gave my tickets to mates in Perth - they said it was like a Melb home game 

My name is Maximus Decimus Gawnridus, captain of the Melbourne Football Club, ruckman for my midfielders and loyal servant to the true coach, Simon Goodwin. Father to no son yet. Husband to a lovely wife. And I will have my premiership, in this life or the next.

just [censored] astonishing.

 

Indeed & it seems inapropriate to have the expletives censored.


Harry Petty what can I say. From one of the worst first games I’ve witnessed live v St Kilda,  to destroying the so called ‘3 headed monster’ with May on one leg. (With all due respect to an unbelievable game from Lever).

I heart you Harrison Petty.

Every thing I have asked for 30 years wrapped up in one game!  Just a very very proud member.

Bliss…just pure bliss

Love it. We’ve all earned it

My pies mate who has literally never said anything complimentary about Melbourne in his life texted me one word during the third quarter: “GAWN!!!!”

I said in the pre game thread that I was hoping for us to give them a belting they would never forget.

For it to actually happen is a surreal feeling.

I love this club. I love every poster on this forum. Been reading for years. We have been through the highs and lows together. Finally, we are the real deal. It’s coming home

Totally agree. DL is a godsend. Especially for ppl like me who watched it alone. Coz it doesn’t feel like being alone when you’re going off your head with an awesome bunch of people as crazy as yourself. ❤️💙💕❤️💙

 

Amazing. We are peaking at exactly the right time.

Been following the Dee's for 48 years, and this is the best side i have seen. The premiership feels like destiny.

Also amazing, a packed Optus Stadium and barely a boo.

Max Gawn wants this more badly than anyone.....he is just a weapon atm....just ferocious.

One of the greatest ever Melbourne captains

He has the Barassi-esque will to power, I have no doubt.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
