Still seems hard to fathom at times, even if I have watched the replay over forty times.

I still, at least once a day, shake my head and marvel at what happened on that sweet, sweet night in September. Maybe it will completely register when round 1 rolls around. Maybe it never will. Regardless, it’s our premiership, and nothing can change that. Nor can anyone take it away. ❤️💙

So deliriously happy about our flag that I made a typo. 😱

My dvd player is getting an absolute flogging (like  vs GCS).

And did you know that the Ch 7 commentators never say Dees have hit the front?  What an opportunity wasted.

And how is this for BT nonsense - The reason why the crowd has so many Dees/Dogs supporters is because they followed these teams b4 the Eagles entered the comp. (Um that was 35 years ago)

Nothing to do with memberships been shared across the country or handouts of team colours.

Hmmnn .... Though I've been to a few neutral Grand Finals and cheered for opposition clubs you wouldn't ever see me in their colours whether they handed them out or not.

At dinner tonight up in Airlie beach in far north qld with my two daughters…..and there was another Dees family!!
The dad was wearing his premiership cap… my 12 year old daughter was in her “give ‘em hell” tshirt and I had my premiership face mask….he walked passed us and yelled go Dees!!!

Loved it 😍 ❤️💙

who would’ve thought that would ever happen in FNQ?!?

Scene: Yesterday; long, rather remote, deserted SW Gippy beach (aka Paradise btw...)

Two dots grow bigger to each other from their respective ends of this picture of isolation (the nice kind...), finally closing to conversation distance, and realisation...

Dees-capped him: 'Great to see another Melbourne supporter!'

Dees-capped me: 'Yes! Hey hey!'

Snappy.

🤦‍♂️

For a break I’m watching one of my favourite three pre covid games. 
2000 QF win v Carlton. 
Green, Bruce and Yze in the last Q. 
 

My other 2 favourites are in 1994 Final when Ox had a day out v Carlton. 
 

And 1988 Prelim at VFL Park when we stopped Carlton going back to back. 
 

Now there’s consequences and penalties for cheating, Carlton have had no success

88 Prelim.

Garry Lyon Torp that went 80 metres.

Pissing down with rain, cold and 5th row from the fence and didn't care.

Please tell me this was done in slow motion, running towards each other with outstretched arms, before twirling around and falling into the sand together, as waves washed over the two of you.

But, what happens in SW Gippy stays in SW Gippy...

Cue jokes about gene pools...

Today I was listening to the 3AW call while in the shed.
Got into the 3rd qtr and Bont just kicked his 3rd.
I think Lloyd stated that the dogs had kicked 8goals to 1 since qtr time.
How often had we got off to a good start over the years to be dominated for the rest of the game.
Man ... No wonder I was in a dark tunnel at the time watching the game live.
"C'mon .... Not in the forkin' Grand Final."

I turned it off.
Will listen to the rest tomoz when I start weeding the yard.
Hope we make a comeback.

Hoping someone can help me, I'm looking for some photos of Christian Salem from the GF and I just can't find any.

Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

It can be a single shot, or a shot with a group where he features prominently. Thanks in advance.

Still seeing it around the place. You don't have 2018 member's sticker on your bin, and scarves hanging from your balcony do you?

This is intense ..... C'mon.

Bloody hell. Sounds like a thriller. Anyone know when this game was played? I want to see if I can find it on youtube.

Just nicked out to the shed and turned on the radio again for 5mins.
It's now 3/4 time and I've come back inside with chills up my spine.
Mind-blowing game.

If I recall, you were going to listen while weeding.

'Weeding'. Hmmmm...

Mind blowing indeed.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
