It happened. We saw it

They did it

This is what it is all about 

if Clarry had won the Norm it would have been fine

They were both amazing 

I for one are glad you were let out of demonland jail to participate.

 

GO DEMONS!!!

Things I’ll never do again 

1- sleep 

2- let MFCSS get the better of me 

3- be jaded. After 16 years on this site, I think it might be time for a name change 

 

CARN THE MIGHTY DEMONS 💙🏆❤️

We did it. The longest-continuing premiership drought is now St Kilda. We now have the shortest

And ... all hyperbole and emotion aside ... it really IS the greatest second half ever seen!

 

GO DEMONS!!!!!!!

and the third quarter in the elimination final against Geelong is possibly the best football I have ever seen over a fair lifetime 

 

Mind you, I haven’t seen the replay of the GF third quarter yet 

[Older demon 2,741]

So this is what it feels like to win a flag. I was so jealous of my mum supporting a club through the 50's. Third generation Dee supporter of 66 year and I have never been happier. No tears just sheer elation and joy.

I took time to read the last chapter of the "Red Fox" this morning. The Norm Smith story is sad and when he left he predicted it would be a long time before Melbourne won another flag. He was correct. There has been a lot said about numbers and coincidences so here is another. Norm Smith passed away in 1973 at the age of 57 and we win our first flag in 57 years. Vale the Norm Smith curse

[John Crow Batty 8,871]

We were on the ropes and ready to crack up half way through the third quarter. Bont was tearing us apart. Keath and Naughton marking everything. Gawn dropping easy marks. Then the most extraordinary 15 minutes of footy I’ve ever seen by us. Absolutely amazing centre clearance work by the tag team beasts of Petracca and Oliver.

There certainly is a lot of luv being spread on here tonight.

I just went to bed to try and spread a bit more love, but apparently I smell like a brewery, and I have ignored her to the last 26 weeks.

So here i am back amongst those who know how to appreciate and celebrate a win for the ages. .

GO THE MIGHTY DEES BRING THE CUP HOME GAWNY LOVE IT

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,172]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 to everything everyone's said.

To all of which, may I add that, aside from first premierships (notably North's 1975 75-point win), drought breakers have been:

2001 - 'Fitzroy' - 26 points

2005 - 'South Melbourne' - 4 points

2016 - 'Footscray' - 22 points

2017 - Richmond - 48 points

2021 - Melbourne - 74 points

Emphatic, with a capital everything.

 

And to all of those who said they can now die happy (and I'm definitely a D'Land senior cit)...

DON'T!

This really hasn't sunken in yet. 30 years of going to just about every game I could in Melbourne and interstate a few times a year, included the dreaded years when there was lucky to be 15,000 at the 'G and we knew we'd get smashed. We stuck with them, stood by them. Massive shame we cannot be there in person but the feeling is surreal at the moment. I'm a grown man and have been in tears for hours. This forum has been such a great way to stay connected. The best feeling would be to be hugging strangers at the MCG tonight after the siren but we've done the best we possibly can. Enjoy this one everyone!

From your experiences, I fully understand your journey and disappointments, similar to my own and that of so many others. We turned the corner, tonght and the relief is astounding. One game, one result. 

[Pennant St Dee 13,252]

@old dee I hope you enjoyed that mate. I know this year has been tough on you.

 I was stunned watching that second half and not ashamed to say the tears flowed singing the song at the end

[cookieboc 776]

my life is complete

[BAMF 4,361]

I was at the ground. At half time I was alright, and thought we would be ok. The Johannison goal sucked the life out of the crowd around me and it really felt like the game was about to get away from us.

The next few minutes were dire and even when Fritsch got his first of the third term you felt like we were just hanging on.

From there we broke them. It was great to watch.

Well done boys. Thanks Perth for being such awesome hosts.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,172]

More from those who were there, please!

[Cassiew 1,903]

Goodnight all. Thank you for sharing this moment with me and my father. Love you all so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[DemonDan11 106]

Watching the replay now because I felt like I didn’t really watch all those goals in the third and fourth quarter- too much excitement it is all a blur! I was watching but was way too excited to really take it in if that makes sense haha!

Lachie Hunter is a stager. Milked at least 2 frees tonight.
