Well we’ve finally done it!

after years of conjecture, pontification, debate and both doubt and hope we are the Premiers!!!!!

Thats right , the best team in the AFL, the cup is ours and gawny  is All Australian captain and premiership  captain and Trac is a Norm Smith medalist. 
We the long suffering have our flag and I shall sleep well tonight and wake up in the morning with a feeling that no one can ever take away from me.

Go the mighty Dees!!!

 
 

I don't give a fig about dynasties, power-clubs, curses, MFCSS, how great Bontempelli is, 186, Neeld, "the benefits of losing", game analysis, mark of the year, goal of the year, recruiting, the trade period, the cricket, Covid, vaccinations, the rise of China, the decline of the US, renewable energy, or any other subject matter.

I am sitting in a quiet lounge room drinking scotch knowing this one simple thing. MFC are 2021 Premiers. 

And to all those Essendon supporters after the 2000 Grand Final - eat my shorts! You are carp and we are the best. 

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

I am so happy.

This team has really helped me get through this godawful year.

Imagine that.  A consistent and dependable Melbourne team, in my lifetime.

❤️💙


Solid win, bank it and then move onto next week. 

In all seriousness. OOOOOHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD! WE'REEEEEE THE PREMIERSSSSSS!

'ahem'

Some notes from the game

- Petracca. What more can you say? A modern day Demon superstar

- For not the first time this year, our comeback in the third quarter can be attributed to one major change: Playing Jackson in the ruck. This kid was an absolute monster tonight and allowed Maxy to take one of the Dog's key defenders. 

- Fritsch had an absolute shocker of a second quarter but kickstarted our demolition job in the third. Just has that uncanny knack of finding space. An absolute nightmare matchup for opposition defenders. Most goals in a Grand Final since Darren Jarman in 1997! Unreal!

Can we take a moment to acknowledge Jake Bowey? This kid was playing in his SEVENTH AFL match and had 8 touches at 100% efficiency by quarter time. Was a big factor in our great start. Was playing a Weightman for a good portion of the game as well who had no influence whatsoever.

- Bittersweet feeling for James Jordon who sadly (or in some aspects, fortunately) wasn't able to get on the ground tonight as the medical sub. Nethertheless, he still receives his premiership medal and played a key role in getting us here tonight.

- May and Lever were arguably both down on their usual impact but both toiled hard. Neither Naughton or Schache were influential tonight so they played their roles just fine.

- Salem oozes class with whatever he does. I know we tied him down for five years earlier in the season, but is there any chance we can extend that? 

More to come, maybe, dunno, feel like running around the block naked wearing only my Demon scarf before I do anything else.

We did it!

It's surreal but two observations. 

How good was Luke Jackson!

This team was amazingly fit. Kudos to those responsible!

What ended up happening with Darren Burgess' contract? Is he definitely leaving us for Adelaide next season? He has obviously been huge...

What are words for.

Best team all year, and showed the football world on the biggest stage.

 

GO DEMONS!!!

Outanding performance and proved excellence in recovery from the efforts of the 'notably second best' contenders for the flag. Off their game expetation, with exhaustion, limited resolve or capacity, and a missing skilset that drives Premiership contention. As I said earlier, Geelong were one step away from game time;; however, they remain one setp ahead of the Doggies in terms of threats to the MFC .Farken Nice outcome of course; stunning exhsibition of the respone to '... how the helll did they do that? ... from the second Quarter. Great team effort  - but was it all that terribyly difficult?? Class won, full stop.

That is just unbelievable stuff .... but they have done similar things this year - come from behind v Brisbane, round 23 v Old Cats ....never say die.

A very long time since I have believed and trusted a Demon team so much.

Edited by monoccular

12:15 and I finally make it to demonland. Last few hours have been responding to messages from from all the people who know I love the Dees. Even halfway through the third I still thought we'd win, the mental resilience of this team is the complete opposite of what it once was. No need to go early on this and should just enjoy the moment, but I reckon this is the beginning of a DYNASTY!

Good call.  Seemed to avoid all the cameras and interviews after the game but a great story and a massive contribution since he came into the team.  Such poise for someone so young.

OD you old curmudgeon. How the hell are you feeling now?


Absolutely awesome, Demons we’re brilliant, I’ve a glow of happiness, and look forward to celebrating at the G next year about this time!!

I thought we were gone for all money 5 mins into the third qtr. The greatest second half I’ve ever seen. It still hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s unbelievable ❤️💙

Any word from Ron Barassi, our last premiership captain?  He would be a proud man tonight.

8 players aged 19-21 are now premiership players

extraordinary

16 premiership players today are 25 or under.  Salem is 26.  Viney 27.  Gawn at 29 will play another 5 years now we have LJ.  It’s going to be an exciting time to be a dees supporter over the next 4-5 years.

100 points to 7 after the turnaround which must be some sort of record

Were they just teasing?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?
