We are a team heading for a dynasty, we’re all young, this same team can stay together for 5 years, Gawn & May will go 3 more, we will lose a few but the main players are 26 and under.

I might be a little discombobulated after the epic celebrations in our house. But, I could have sworn, with 5 minutes to go the commentators showed a a tally of the most possessions in a grand final. It has Tracc on 39, equal to Simon Black. I then saw Tracc handball to a teammate and I assumed he had claimed the record. Looking on the stats sheets he is attributed with only 39. Very strange. Also, Gawny’s goal, WtF? Viewed from behind the goals, it was unquestionably the wrong outcome. Also, the umpiring was absolutely appalling. 
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest so I can enjoy the win in its entirety. In 40 plus years of supporting this wonderful bloody team I’ve realised, I’ve never known this feeling. We are the champions. The anxiety of supporting a team that never wins the big dance is lifted and a contentness has settled. It’s most pleasant.

During the first and second quarters, I really wanted someone to clean up Libba - and shut that gob of his.

But I don't think anyone of our team could have hurt him more than the our performance in the last 2 quarters. Hope that really hurt Libba.

I came to Melbourne in early 1965 from England. On the boat over I experienced my first game of Australian Rules football with a film about the 1964 premiership winning team Melbourne. After my arrival I was taken to a game between Richmond and Melbourne by my brother who was a Melbourne supporter at that time.  I have supported the Demons from this day to this and never thought this day would ever occur. Hallelujah l can now die in peace.

Can't believe the turn around. Was feeling very sullen during the second quarter and was terrible company for my partner who had jumped on the bandwagon in support.

That second half... Speechless. All I could do was stare in disbelief as we slammed on goal after goal. Don't think i was any better company as I was glued to the TV in a somewhat dissociative state. 

I only wish I could have been there to share in the passion and joy of thousands of fans that have been through the pain and suffering that only demons fans would know. But demonland has done a damn good job at bringing us all together, particular through the toughest of recent times.

Thank you @Demonland and everyone else associated in running this site.

We deserve this.

I’ve just started watching the replay, it’s possible I won’t sleep tonight. I would’ve preferred to just watch the second half I guess this will do. I’m still just so happy. 

Congrats to Trac, well deserved Norm Smith. 

Fritta, simply amazing. 

Jackson, this may seem OTT but I thought him taking primary ruck duties in the third quarter changed the game. He is something special. 

Salem, brilliant and cool as ever. 

Max, captain my captain. So much love. 

I could go through the whole list but I’m just going to sit back and enjoy it. What I will say is thanks to this club for bringing it home, would’ve been special to be there but they did it for us. The Perth crowd were fantastic, thanks to everyone there. Some time in the future we will all be together to celebrate this properly, but for now I will just enjoy watching the replay and once again say thank you to everyone.

Finally my 2 sons (25 and 22) have officially forgiven me for making them support Melbourne.

It was a battle during the Neeld years and only the lure of impending MCC membership kept them on board.

But we've got them for ever now.

Did I actually see that or was it the sweetest dream ever? 

i have finally forgiven my dad.... and i'm 41

We did it!!!! I can say this objectively (hiccup) that we were the best premiership team in recent memory. Any time we got challenged, we stood up. What a great team, what a great coaching staff. What fantastic supporters.

I love demonland, I love you all!!!!!!! Best feeling ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
