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

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.

Not until I've been on one of Alan Jackovich's fishing tours.

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

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
