We’ve done it tough ova the 57 years and been thumped and humiliated on and of the field but here we are bloody PREMIERS 2021. And I couldn’t be prouder of our club more so than now, I’ve always been proud too be a Demon. Too the point, just watched Goody’s interview on OTC. The question was asked about getting JJ onto the ground. 1 Choco said we gotta get him on somehow . 2 Goody was keen .3 Harmsey was willing and had some cramping  4 James Jordan was happy were he sat. 4 and most importantly SENIOR MEMBERS, suggested it’s wasn’t in the spirit of the rule. Wow just wow. The Integrity and culture of our club from the top right thru too us supporters is unbelievably strong in, admin, coaching, playing group and all connected. An incredible turn around from being the down trodden re the tanking, there was more blatant evidence against other clubs than us 😳, and we’ve had too carry all that, u no what. The Integrity and Culture of the MFC is back and I reckon we’ve bought Hell with  us, the lads have plenty of motivation, for all of us supporters too get a cup on the G.  And this may have been mentioned before, Goody told Mike Sheehan in the Sorrento pub, preseason that we’d win it this year, big call very early, maybe Norm got in his ear one nite🤪57/57

Sis and self have shed plenty of tears, we filled the rain tanks here in Angnes Water. 8 and 9 at the G in 64, wow, just wow.

ps maybe it should be merged, I’ve been watching everything on fox and haven’t read too much on here, but will eventually.

It's one of the many great narratives to come out of Saturday's win, and I think it does say a lot about the club's values, especially when no one in the footy media (or the AFL, for the matter) would have begrudged Melbourne for making that decision.

As someone who really wanted Jonesy to be the medi-sub (prior to him flying home), I can't help but imagine what this would have been like were he the one on the bench. From a fan's point of view, I actually think this might have been an unwanted distraction during that perfect last quarter, which might have left a bittersweet feeling in an otherwise wonderful day, so I'm really happy in hindsight how it all worked out.

I'm torn for Jordon, of course, but he looked like he was just happy to be there, whereas I think Jonesy would have been burning with a desire to get on the field. This will also hopefully motivate Jordon to be part of Melbourne's next 22.
