Almost. 95% there.

A flag at the G would make it 100%. People who attended in Perth would beg to differ.

Really hoping we’ve got another flag in us over the next 3-4 years before May and Gawn pack up. Hope we don’t do a West Coast and go backwards by the year or the Dogs who failed to even makes the finals for the next 2 years.

 

BANG! 2022

BANG! 2023

BANG! 2024

Footy life wise only 50%. Get me to the G, see our boys win a grand final live, get absolutely wasted with all my demon family down swan street and then my footy life will be 100% complete!

 

Pretty close but completion would be to attend the G and celebrate with the tribe. 

But this one is a dream or fantasy come true. There will be nothing like the fairytale of this one, with all the elation and emotion of a breakthrough flag. 

And not just a win but a thrashing, totally dismantling all 3 finals opponents. 

And sheer unadulterated pride. So much pride that my chest feels like bursting. And admiration, tons of it, for the players, coaches and staff. 

Truly momentous. 

 

On Saturday night I would have said yes, being there was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I never laughed and cried so much in one night.

But upon reflection it would not be fair for the loyal fans in Victoria who have attended more games and stuck through this club through thick and thin. We need to win it again simply for this reason.

Then life will be complete.

 


 Night time or interstate Grannies - don’t support them. Happy to still take them if we keep winning them

We are all different but for me I need to see it in person. It feels surreal to me. Maybe it hasn’t sunk in. But I want to out with 50K melb fans seeing the joy on their faces and watch the boys win it live. 

I am relieved and happy we won of course but I am no where near content or satisfied 

 

My partner of 8 years and her family are mad Essendon & Man United fans (luckily she's good looking). Between Liverpool winning the title 2 seasons ago and the Dees winning the premiership, they don't have anything on me anymore. I look forward to drinking her old man's grog on Christmas Day. Life nearly complete!


Things I've learnt since winning a premiership 48 hours ago.... I'm a greedy b*tch and I want MORE!

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

Man .... They put together the best season I've ever seen a Melbourne side play.
One for the ages.
Got a top class side with no holes all playing for each other and wanting the flag.
They just played the best game I've ever seen a Melbourne side play in the Prelim.
As far as I was concerned we were as red hot as you can be red hot.

 


 



 
 

Echoing others, I feel like a massive weight has lifted off my shoulders. A huge relief.

But also, pretty much instantly upon that awesome sight of Gawn and Goody lifting the cup (an image I am sure we have all tried to visualise over the years) I wanted another one. [censored]. We are premiers. Best team on the planet. More, thanks.

Yeah just like that, life is different and I will die a happy man!

BUT like others, as much as I enjoyed watching with my 2 young boys, I want to experience this feeling with other diehards at The G.

The emotion would be out of this world. We’ll get our chance too!

So my family organized our memberships for my older brother and his son to go. We had another two which we gave to my brothers’ best mate (and a mad Dees supporter) who has late stage pancreatic cancer along with his son. He won’t last past Christmas and I’m emotional that he and his son got to do this together. I have not even been able to post on the forum much beyond the like button, I have been so overcome with what this win means.

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 😂

Love the name evolution Jaded (No More).

Yup. This is the closest I’ll get to having children, so yes.

Closer. Only need the whole family at the G for a flag and my footy life would be complete.

I was there in 1964. I can't wait another 57 years.

I feel the need to say this for those of you talking about doing it at the G. I was an AFL Member for 15 years. I went to a lot of grand finals as a neutral supporter, and one as a Demon (2000).

The grand final at the G is a funny one. There is a lot of neutrals and corporates there. It’s definitely not 50k passionate supporters from each team. More like 30k each - and 40k neutrals and corporates.

I often used to get annoyed with the crowd at the GF, because a lot of them seemed to not care, and not know the game well.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
