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 💙🏆❤️

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 

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

 

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

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 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. 

@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

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.


More from those who were there, please!

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

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
