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.

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!

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.

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
