I whipped some poor bloke sitting behind me in the face with my scarf after Clarrys goal. Lost the plot! Teared up. That was the moment. 

Yep, that was the moment 🏆

Clarry's goal was the sealer, everything else was simply icing on the cake ❤💙

Nibbler for me. 
At three quarter time I thought the Dogs can still go on a run here. They kicked 6 on the trot and they can do it again. And I thought they’d come out firing. 
Nibbler put it beyond them. 

 

That footage of the 3rd quarter centre clearances they just showed On The Couch is proof of the value of belief in a system. The Bulldogs set up properly, but didn’t maintain their structure enough. They all got drawn to the ball too easily. You could argue they were trying to do it individually instead of trusting the team.

Sound familiar Demons fans? That was our problem for all of 19-20.

Absolute credit to the players and the coaching staff. Belief and buy in.

Today, the joy and disbelief has morphed into simple satisfaction.

I’ve never felt so content with life.

I pity those who think that its just a game. No……………..it’s the only game, and we are the reigning premiers! The champions until champions no more.

p.s - [censored] i love the current video of the week

Every time I watch the replay (5 times so far) only one question springs to mind… what did Max say to Fritta after he kicked his 6th goal? 

Am I the only one?

..."That's Some Forward Craft Fritta Boy!"

No offence intended to those who were in WA, but I am sad the celebrations don't have the true die hards there.

Huddo's call of Olivers 3rd Q goal is spine tingling. Not for clever wordplay, but for just being a primal scream of Oliveeeeeeeeer with his voice wobbling/breaking

I'd make it my ringtone, but I don't want to have any accidents in public.

 

Totally - Huddo is my favourite caller, along with Gerard Whateley - their call of those three goals was just awesome.

Of all the goals in the 2nd half, Gus’s passion and reaction pumped me up the most. When Clarrie kicked that goal I knew we were home (and so did he).
 

Loved how they engaged with the fans in the left pocket. They were telling us to come with them ❤️

Has a team ever won the flag having not made the finals the last 2 years?

As far as I could see, the last team to do it was Adelaide winning in 1997, after missing the 8 in ‘96 and ‘95.  
However, they didn’t have the dominant season that we have had.

Trying to work out what part of the city that is?

 

Edited by The heart beats true

This game had it all. The belief we could win in the 1st, the loss of momentum in the 2nd and getting well behind in the 3rd before battering them - I’m still in shock.

Wasnt until Langdon slotted his goal from the boundary which put us up by 48 that I knew we had done it. 

The blitzkrieg of the 3rd and 4th went by so quickly and I was on the phone to my Mum who was at the game in Perth (haven’t seen her in nearly 2 years). No tears but complete and utter contentment and pride of my footy club.

Can’t wait to celebrate with all the boys, Demonlanders and all Melbourne supporters at the MCG when we can cheer them on and hear Goody make a speech 😛.

All I ever wanted trudging home from belting after belting as a young boy was to go home and watch a Grand Final on replay (in full and colour) - I’ve got what I wanted and I’m so grateful to have it.


More random comments after watching the replay ... yet again.

Quite of few of the early goals were the result of errors .... by Bailey Williams (x2), Lever and Petty.

Fritsch's goal after he grabbed the ball after he and Max contested the mark was brilliant. He landed like a cat, kept his feet and then snapped truly. (I would love to say he was "off to the races" but that wasn't really applicable.)

Johanisson had both hands in Bowey's back before taking his big mark. Put Bowey right out of the contest. Could easily have been a free kick. 

I think we at least broke even with the umpiring. Some dodgy decisions against us ... Hunter (dog), Macrae free kicks weren't there - ducking. Spargo and Kozzy unlucky not to be paid free kicks. However Schache was unlucky not to get one in Q3, and BBB's free kick in Q4 was pretty soft. 

The less said about Max's goal (credited as a point) the better.

Still, none of it matters at all now !!!

As this was Precovid think we can give a bit of slack  on some of these .

However the biggest tick ever is 1b winning the flag

Some of the other wishes like 75k members and 50k ave home game are likely to happen as result of Saturday

tick to eliminating Debt with selling bentleigh club

Well done Board  Club and team

Seeing my sister yesterday, we both said it was anti climatic. Quite incredible really, given we've dreamed of this for so long. I felt strangely hollow after it.

Hopefully we’ll make next years GF a bit closer just to get the old ticker pumping and sphincter puckering.

Speak for yourself. Quite happy to watch the Dees slamming through goals in a cakewalk myself... 😉

Does anyone know if theres a chance someone uploads a replay with different commentary? I really want to watch sans BT's over the top drama.

Any angels out there willing to sink up a SEN or 774 call to the game?

Apologies if this has already be queried 

Totally agree. It was the parting present of the Norm Smith curse that we had bloody BT commentate the closing minutes. And when he tried to invoke Robbie Flower, my head nearly exploded. How dare he!

The replay of this goal, which was not shown during the free-to-air (I was screaming out our front door into our desolate street of our non-afl following neighbourhood anyway) shows Clazza scanning the fans in that pocket in slow-mo as if to say 'this is all for you'.

Being my fav player, watching replay, I read as 'all for you, Monocology' as opposed to for all of us - and naturally burst into tears.

Edited by Monocology

On The Couch tonight looked at the Dogs' set up in those critical centre bounces.

How utterly ironic, poetic even, that we won a Grand Final by getting on top through our opponent succumbing to the "bees to the honeypot" problem.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
