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.

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: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
