When it was airing, I said to myself "…and back? We're not back yet surely."

So I decided I wouldn't watch this series till we win a flag. Didn't think we'd get this close this quick.

    I watched all the episodes again after our GWS loss earlier in the year and pretended it was all about this years pre-season.

    Around about the 23 minute mark is when they talk about the draft (what we now know as a super a draft) and I always remember Alan Richardson saying we should take Jackson.

    Was very well done and l understand it got lots of clicks ... given we came off a horrid season l'm sure it retained a few memberships we would have otherwise lost

    This was the start when the playing group started to build trust in each other our recruitment was brilliant, this was the start of team first. We didn’t get back in one season but we learnt a lot of valuable lessons that have held up and now we are almost there. I enjoyed this and we still had to make those tough calls at the end of 2020 to make sure everyone was buying in.

    Go Dees.❤️💙

    Yes that would have been worse after 2019. It is tough, naming shows I have been in production meetings where the whiteboard is blank and waiting. 
     

    Redemption is the only word, that I kept coming up with. 
     

    Won’t matter in 10 days hopefully, some may even call it inspired!!

    It was meant to be taken as to hell and then back there (to hell).

    I don't think ito hell and back was a shocking title anyway, if it was made in the last preseason it would be called a good title

    if we win the holy grail and not being a patron of talk back radio, the first thing I'm going to do is ring Kane Cornes and remind him of his previous comments on air, re this great insight and - dare I say it -  marketing tool.

    If only............ .  I keep hearing the melody to the Dire Straits song; "Brothers in Arms".  This is the connection that I hope exists within the playing group, which will get us the ultimate prize.

    But it wasn’t. It was made after the 2019 Season (5 wins)

    If we win the granny next weekend, MFC should create another video and call it ' To Hell and back- For Real This Time'

    It should have been called “If you’re going through hell…”

    I guess that would work better than: To Hell and Back with a Brief Stop in Purgatory.

    But in the 2020 season we come 9th, so the team was back from hell and into purgatory, also after this year there might be a another video, and it will be called to hell and back part 2, so it will all make sense

    • 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.
