I thought after the storm lost it could be a bad day especially during the 3rd quarter. 

Hey media it didn't matter that we only played 1 game in 28 days. 

Also libba & weightman were barely seen. We did well to hold some of there good players

[JTR 2,627]

Game was absolutely beyond my wildest dreams.

Scored 100 points to their 7 since half way through 3rd when they up 59-40

Last two games after half time...

Prelim - 10 goals to 1

Grand Final - 16 goals to 3

GO DEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The analysis will come (there is so much reading and re-watching to come), but I'm coming around to the thought now that when all is said and done, the 2021 Melbourne season will go down as one of the greatest seasons of AFL football in recent memory.

Only 4 losses, blowing three of the next four best sides in it off the park in our finals, and doing it all through a pandemic away from home.

Didn't you know the Bulldogs had it tougher?

How about that '@Macca'?

Never thought we were going to see the day (or night as it turns out)...

It has sunk in but I'm a bit lost for words rjay.  But anyway ...

Just posted on 'ology about the crowd support in the stadium.  Demons everywhere and the WA folk have done exceptionally well

They should be rightfully proud of themselves.  What a great country we live in where others can take up the slack like the Western Australians have

We will forever remember how they embraced our team and our victory

And well done to the WA people here on this site.  You guys did a mighty job.  Kudos

As for the team, others are saying it for me ... like, love & thanks emoji's comin' your way!

I haven't cried yet, but I reckon when the noise dies down and the family goes to bed, a few tears might fall over a wee Glenfiddich. I have waited so long and feel so calm and happy. 

 

I'm Stund, my wife can't understand why I'm quite right now words can't describe this feeling, we have really Been to Hell and back as a club this is unbelievable. GO DEES 🔴🔵🔴🔵

Someone needs to put a premiership scarf or t shirt on the Jim Stynes, Norm Smith & Ron barrassi statues

I am too scared to go to sleep for fear I will wake up  tomorrow and it will all  have been a dream. 

[Mazer Rackham 14,968]

I've heard it's impossible to win if you've only played one game in a month. Can better judges tell me if there's something to this?

[BW511 2,227]

Incredible day/night.

Genuinely never believed I’d see it. Go you good things 

[Jontee 3,624]

Well done to the boys in red and blue.  From the bottom of my heart, thankyou.

Jack Trengove in the rooms!! ❤💙

We smashed every top team that came at us.

So so so proud of those lads

[Wilbur 447]

Pinch me I'm dreaming

What a second  half.  Just amazing 

[The heart beats true 16,003]

I started crying with about 6 minutes to go.  I’ve seen this club live up to every stereotype about us on so many occasions I should have logically walked away years ago.

So I didn’t just cry because we were going to win the Premiership, I cried because I watched this group of players decide that they no longer believe any of the preconceived perceptions mattered. That 3rd quarter was the moment they shattered the mould, and decided to make their own history. That’s so hard to do. I’m so proud. 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,267]

Channel 7s coverage was great,

Then they put Tom Browne on camera...🤦‍♂️

[titan_uranus 22,210]

With 60 seconds to go in the third quarter, we were 6 points up.

We won by 74.

That is utterly, utterly insane.

Daniel was good, but no way he deserved a vote.

He was never going to get votes but I just can’t stress enough how Jackson changed the game by going into the middle.

[Crompton's the man 635]

Seriously 

 

have we beaten anyone above us on the ladder?

They were trying to get him off the camera just then I reckon.

He comes in and says "I spoke with Gary Pert on the ground, he was telling me about how in a minute Garry Lyon is going to hand us the premiership cup".

That is zero insight, that's just a waste of space talking himself up.
