Mine is.

I can actually say in the open air that I've seen my team win a bloody premiership! 🔴🔵 

Seeing the Richmond and Hawthorn just cruise on through to win flags I just wanted to experience just one in my life time.

Still on an incredibly high!

 

 

 

No.  Check with me after the next one at the MCG.

Yep. We need a few at home, as fantastic as Perth was for us. 
Perth will always be a special place to play at now

But we need to win on the MCG. 

I think the team would agree

Yep I'm greedy as [censored] now and want more.

I

Yeah but it was more I couldn’t celebrate with people outside my wife at home. Which was awesome, but with my mates or thousands at a venue would make it extra special.

3 PEAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

Very good point.

Another one at the MCG would just be epic.

Yep. Bucket list complete...

 

 

 

... but I also now want 4 in a row and 16 flags. Then a 17th to sit clear on top of the pile. I want us to be hated by every supporter base in the land. I want us to be so strong financially and well set up off field that we genuinely contend for decades.  I want us to be the club that generations of kids defect to.


I’m only 43 Dazzle, so I don’t want to peak too early, but I do feel very much like a big part of my journey as a football fan is fulfilled. I don’t think any other premiership could feel as special as that was. Over 3 goals down with 10 to play in the third, 57 years of club heartache, and the boys just want absolutely berserk.

We’ll never see that again. It was the privilege of my football watching life to see it happen at all. The last minute of the 3rd quarter is impossible to describe. It was a force of nature.

So it wasn’t at the MCG and I couldn’t go? That’s not the end of the world. Life has taught me to focus on what you do have, not what you don’t - which is why I’ll be watching the replay AGAIN all day and doing [censored] all work.

Yes i have never understood the talk that Melbourne is “a small club”

We have been a “small club” because we have not been run properly, for whatever reasons. 
Gary Pert knows this Club can get bigger, we just have to Market ourselves the right way. Employ the right people, and recruit the players

We are Melbourne. We represent a City

Some on here were not happy that Pert came on board. I was rapt. 
Listen to his interviews, including the Demonland Podcasts, everything Gary has said to us, is happening 

He has been honest and caring. He is also a shrewd operator. 
70,000+ Members next year. 
Now we know we can beat our opponents in September, it is not a dream. 
We are Not a “small club” anymore 

look at all the past players who are back onboard 

We are a serious organization in this country 

we must stand with the Top Sides now, year after year. Others do it…

We Members must demand excellence from our Club. 
This competition is about September 

I became a father a few weeks ago. Baby and a Granny in the same year. I think I need to consult an astrologist.

I had to wait 34 years for a flag. This kid only had to wait 8 weeks!

Oh yes

Bucket List

I am still on the biggest high and I am so proud of the team! I will forever remember this day, this weekend!! I am 38- I feel like to take this to the next level I need to see a GF win at the G!! That is my ultimate dream. Life is a lot more fulfilled today then it was at 7:15pm on Saturday! Go Dees!!

I've still got a lot of life left in me (hopefully) - there's plenty of other things I want to experience befoer I could say my life is complete (seeing my kids grow up, growing old with my wife, grandkids).

In terms of AFL we still have a mountain to climb in my eyes;

16 - Essendon, Carlton

15 - Collingwood

13 - MELBOURNE, Richmond, Hawthorn

Still 4 to go and hopefully at the bloody G!!

Congrats, but also Melbourne have won an AFL flag every year you have had a baby.

You know what you need to do now.

as a Dees fan that lives in Melbourne normally, but from Coffs Harbour, where Jackovich lives, I will legitimately be saving up for this.

Love hearing this Daz! i reckon it hasn't quite sunk in for me yet, but i was neck deep in Gin by the time the siren went, so might be coming out the other side of a drunken haze

Yeah, but I will be back there for the next one.  Just as soon as those borders open up…

 

One at the G in front of us would complete my life and I can die happy. 
Saturday was the happiest day of my life… don’t tell my husband 😂

Now I'm glad this happened in my mid-50s...would hate to be one of those guys who peaked in high school.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
