We won the Premiership after missing the final the previous year. Surely that’s rare. Does anyone know when that last happened?

Would be Richmond in 2017 wouldn’t it?

I’d also like to know who was the most recent losing GF team to kick 6 goals in a quarter and yet still lose like the Dogs did last night.

Achieved against quality opposition too. Because of the scoreline, that might get lost in the mists of time.

Unfortunately all the players who played even 1 game this year could not get some sort of reward for their dedication and effort for the club.

Jones Gawn and Viney lived all the bad and only Gawn and Viney get to enjoy the feeling of joy of a premiership player for the MFC

Well I am hoping while the players are in a drunken state and signing some club merchandise Gary Pert and Tim Lamb put long term contract extensions in front of Oliver and Jackson.

Just a big shout out to all the players that walked out on us… Hi Hannan, Hi Howe. 

Not normally one to rub peoples nose in it, but Howe.. made many comments since he left, enjoy your rabble mate! We are just going to drink from the cup.. 

[Jara 1,149]

Waking up worn out with happiness. Thanks Melbourne - and thanks Demonland.

Impressed with the young guys last night. All the known suspects, Jackson, Rivers etc. But boy was Tom Sparrow excellent. Might have a player. 
 

And of course Bowser! 

[DirtyDees DDC 171]

Wonderful team. Wonderful club.  They didn't choke (unlike this sad pathetic demons supporter who walked out of the TV room at half time. Too much MFCSS).   

Yesterday I was one of a very small group on this planet who remembered where they stood on that day we last won the flag.  I was 8 years old, stuck in a kitchen in Surrey Hills, gutted when Gabelich put the dreaded Pies in front,  then stunned when we hit the front and held on (thank you Neil Crompton).

Today,  I'm just one of millions around the world who have lived the dream.  To misquote Kevin Costner from Field of Dreams...'This isn't Iowa.  This is heaven.'

Wow!!!!!!

Congrats all enjoy it.

Special thanks to the planning years ago, when we told Alan Richardson he would come to us while he was Saints Coach and he gratefully took McCartin in the draft leaving us the Norm Smith medallist. Premierships are planned years before.

We smashed the other contenders each game.

Unbelievable, we are back.

Go Dees.

My God Mr Leg we have been through a lot of crap this last 57 years. How sweet is this morning. To be honest I am a bit Flat this morning  after half a century of losing I am well equipped to handle it. Winning is a whole new ball game! 

I see there is an event in Perth today with the team. To the Supporters in Perth enjoy guys we will get our chance next year!!!!

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert.

 

I feel I need some Johnny cash to keep the session going.

That was incredible. So happy. Bitter sweet not being able to go, but an amazing feeling.

Buying merch…

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 2,918]

Wow. That was some kind of a night. It, for me, felt like no other game in my life. It was just different. It was surreal. We aren’t conditioned to see us play like that. It’s magnificent. I love this football club

Not one of us is any longer a “Demon tragic”

New thread…

 

Changes R1 2022 😅

Words don't do justice to how much this means. Tough year but this team has brought us all so much joy. Couldn't be prouder. Soak it in everyone 💙❤

Theme song Verse 2 rewrite:

Oh the team played fine to win 12 previous flags,

We’re demons that no one can lick, 

And you’ll find us there at the final bell,

with the spirit of 2021!!!!

... and we all know the rest of the song.

GO DEES!!!💙❤️

[old dee 22,799]

Now I want a dynasty! I want to be hated like Hawthorn and Richmond. 

But most of all I want to be able to go to a game! 

[Purple77 951]

I woke up very emotional this morning. 

I can't believe it - WE WON THE PREMIERSHIP!!!! 

I was so lucky to have been able to attend at Optus - it's something that I will cherish forever. 

I love this club - and boy did you test me over the last 15 years. But you really did deliver, like you said you would all those years ago.

What an amazing accomplishment by this group, and to those whom set it up along the way. 

Thank you, Dees. Thank you so so much

All last week I didn't like hearing people say, 'All I want to see is a good game.'

You know what? They were right. I think we saw a very, very good game.

Three goals in 50 seconds before 3Q time is good football

Morning Green Demon. Sean was a Glaswegian although he was scouted from County Kerry where he played Gaelic football. His nickname at the club was haggis. 

Yes, a Scot for sure. A former team-mate of mine (cricket, a game he loved) and fortunate enough to re-connect and become good friends about 4-years before he passed. Ripping bloke with a strong moral compass.

One of my most memorable and emotional moments was a 30-minute conversation at Sean's wake with his mother (Peggy), telling her of how proud he was of her - Sean spoke of her often. Peggy spoke of how bittersweet the last 6-months of Sean's life were, knowing he was going to pass but getting to spend more time with him...remembering that our game took her son to the other side of the world when he was still a very young man.

Peggy's parting words "promise you will never forget my son".

Peggy Wight...promise kept!
