I highly recommend watching the replay over the live recording. Ad free. Check out the look in Petracca's eyes after he kicks that dribbler near the end of the third. He looks like he could run through a brick wall and rip the head off a buffalo. Channel 7 cuts to an ad and you completely miss it

Here it is. Look at his eyes 😤

Another bizarre coincidence

- Years since we've won a premiership (prior to last night): 57 Years 

- Age of Norm Smith when he passed away: 57 Years Old

- Points we scored in the final quarter last night: 57 Points

So proud today, so proud to be part of this great club. 
 

What a game!

The 3 goals in two minutes to finish the 3rd qtr was pure magic!

Rewatched the second half this morning over bacon and eggs and a recovery smoothie. 

Just from watching some of the goals on various social media posts the 1%’s become so much more apparent. Two that come to mind are was Sparrow hand balling to Salem then going on to shepherd Treloar as Salem kicks to Trac who kicks the opening goal, TMac jostling with Keath (?) on the goal line as Sparrows kicks from just on 50 in the dying moments of the 3rd.

I’ve got the week off so definitely going to sit down and watch the replay in full again. I love footy so much and last night was testament as to why.

Such a surreal feeling knowing that we are the 2021 Premiers!

❤️💙🏆

May and Lever uncharacteristically dropped a few marks they’d normally swallow. 
 

Not that it cost us but some off the umpiring…. 
The non free to Kosi for a high tackle and some of the Bulldogs non marks that were paid.

Genuinely so so happy for him. He really is a beautiful humble guy who had a really tough couple of years and got pushed out by his club (bunch of absolute fools!). Came in, fought hard to regain fitness, played his role, and made a massive massive difference to the team. 
Also he is amazing at drawing free kicks. I forgot how much it used to annoying me… now I love it!

Fortnight been saying we can’t play as well as Geelong final again …

Such a funny narrative.

Because the more logical argument would be the cats game (which built on the round 23 and qf games) was not some random, freak event.

Rather, it was evidence of our form and what we are capable of. 

As evidenced by the grand final.

That bloke in the crowd clutching his neck like he’s going through the most stressful time in his life is exactly how I felt. It was brilliant, and terrifying, and way too much to comprehend.

He is the mascot of every Melbourne supporter.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
