Winning a flag was always number 1 on the bucket list.
Got extra bonus points for the brilliant season and finals series it was.
We took on the best and destroyed them all.
Won both the Prelim and Grand Final with devastating displays of power football that will live on in our minds forever.

But dominating the competition for 10yrs has always been number 2 on the bucket list.
Lets tick that one off.

I have autism,  so some things I can get fixated on more than others.  This year from the first gws game I thought we would win it all.   I drove back from  Canberra to Albury with my son crying the whole way because I was so happy and excited about what might happen.   I have spent so many tears in the last two weeks.  Winning is such a relief.   I'm so happy I could burst.    I can stop now and give my partner  a bit of space.    It's hard to explain

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

I can see how people crave back to back flags.

In our case its fair due to the bulk of supporters who couldnt go to due to bloddy covid.

For me it hasnt decreased the joy of winning a flag in the slightest but it would be wonderful for most of us to see one in person.

Plus I could get used to this winning feeling,

I sat on the couch yesterday next to my wife, cracked a beer, and we had a good laugh talking about how we can start actually living a normal life now.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but feels like I’ve been on a journey since I was a kid waiting for this day, and now it’s come. There’s definitely the carrot of winning a premiership at the G though.

I’m wrapped for you mate! If I ever feel like I’m getting too fixated on the club I come to Demonland, and if often helps me realise that I’m not alone. The 2 weeks leading into the game took a toll on me too, and then to see the boys play so well was the greatest feeling.

Enjoy it. You earned it.

I honestly thought I would break down if we won but to be honest it felt like the biggest weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was a huge relief. I am so happy but mostly just relieved now. It gives the club and its supporters authority.

The question is: now what? Only one flag from this group would be an underachievement. I want to see one on the MCG.

No, I want more. For too long I supported a club that no one hated because we weren't a threat. I want to support a club that teams fear to play against.

We are almost there, and if we smash our opposition early next season people will be shaking their heads as we come up in their schedule. 

We won both the prelim and Grand final with awesome displays of power football while the rest of the competition sat there and watched.
If they didn't fear us before.
They will now.

I'm a big believer of the journey (before you judge me hear me out)

I believe that it's all about the people you meet, the places you go and the memories you create - which is something a lot of people apply to life - I apply it to following the Dees.

The team winning a grand final is a fantastic memory and I will always remember where I watched it and who i watched it with and the feeling of winning it, but I want more, I want to see one live. I want to wear the Melbourne colours with pride, walking out of the MCG as Premiers, high-fiving random Dees fans, yelling yahoos outside the ground and then the rest of the experience at the after match functions etc.  And I want all that with my kids too.

This is not over.

Agree with much of the sentiment here.

In many ways I am fulfilled and I wouldn't have wanted this year to pan out any other way - it was glorious to watch. But not being able to go crazy in the streets of Melbourne and soak it up is disappointing. Hopefully we'll get to relive it at the G before next season. That will definitely help.

And while I am fulfilled, the team has the chance to keep winning over the next few years, so my minimum requirement is that they stay focused, keep the hunger and play footy that we all can enjoy for a while yet. Is my MFCSS cured? Maybe, maybe. We'll see.

Many neutral supporters commented on the attractive style of football both teams played - so here's hoping the rivalry continues. The style is a far cry from the horrible 'flooding' of the 2005 Swans flag. That was a bad patch for the AFL. Don't get me wrong, they were an impressive team, but urgh. We owe a lot to Roos and his defence first mentality, of course, but it's not the best spectacle.

To all those people that said I wouldn't see a demon flag in my life time, get [censored]. Starting round 1 next year the flag means nothing then, i hope the players play next year like they have achieve nothing, 1 flag means nothing unless you win another in the next 2 seasons.

It didn't decrease the joy of winning at all, but it didn't have the partying that goes along with it, and I look forward to doing that next year.

You were right all along Fork

Well played

That 3rd Quarter should set the bar for this Club for decades. That is the Standard to expect and aspire too

I hope the Boys Party Hard, they deserve that, and then come back ready to defend Top Spot

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
