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...

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
