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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
