Prediction: We will have won the most VFL / AFL premierships by the end of this decade.

Throughout the 175 years our great club has never been a one every 10 years sort of club. More like a 6 in 10 years, then none in 57 sort of deal. As the title says I predict with a fair amount of certainty that we will have won the most VFL / AFL premierships by the end of this decade.

We are on 13 now, Ess and Carl leading with 16. This is doable with a decade of our current boys.

    We just need to beat Essendon or Collingwood in a GF and life will be complete.

    Wow, way to leave room to move in future years. We have won one in a row to this point. Talk about a two stroke attitude.

    Mods: should the MFCSS thread be merged in here?

    Oh wait, we'll need that next year at first sign of injury or loss. Best keep them separate.

    I've avoided reading the Doggies fans pages lately, to leave them in peace and just enjoy the positive vibes here.

    But I couldn't resist a quick look today and this cracked me up:

    It is amazing to think we just won our first flag in 57 years and thats enough to draw level with recent powerhouses Hawthorn and Richmond...shows what a dominant force we used to be, lets hope those days have returned and this is the beginning....

    One side of me thinks we need to win 5 more Premierships for the 5 decades of missing out.

    The other side says, just be humble and take it one season at a time.

    In all honesty I am not greedy, but  another Premiership at the MCG would be nice. Just so I can be there with my Dad and enjoy it properly.

     

    However, if I was Simon Goodwin I would be showing the Demons players footage and documentaries about NBA basketball dynasties such as the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls. That would definitely inspire Christian Petracca and the other NBA lovers on our team.

    Tempting fate here.

    Lets just enjoy going to the G when it’s heaving and knowing we can, and should, beat anyone.

    100 wins from the next 100 games gives us the 17th flag by way of a 5peat in 2025. Subscribe.

    I always said all I needed was one premiership and I'd be happy but now we need to win one at the G for complete satisfaction - and a bit like Essendon from 1999-2001, we have such a talented group that just the one flag would almost seem like an underachievement!

    Just remember that Essendon looked invincible at the end of 2000....

    Things can turn quickly.

    I’m just stoked to be equal with Hawthorn and Richmond. Always felt rotten having those clubs higher than us on premierships…

    Fully agree. Them moving past us was a reminder of how we had stagnated from 2007 onwards, and bloody galling.

    One thing this year has taught me is there are no omens, pre game rituals, posts on internet etc that will ever change the course of a game or a clubs destiny. For years I always stood here until we lost or never sat there because we always lose when I sat there etc Ultimately it did not matter where I stood or sat we mostly loss because we were not much chop.

    Now this year I have done nothing much different to the era of shytness and we won the flag. It's nothing supernatural that has an effect on the game. It is the fact that we now have probably 8 of the best all time 10 MFC players since 64 playing in the one team, we are as fit as they come and well coached. 

    No need to stress about  a post tempting fate. It doesnt work like that. It has about as much cred as going to church on a Sunday.

    Stress less and live the dream.

    Nah just a general statement about whatever we say here has no bearing on the teams destiny. Thankfully

    On a side note I listened to the 3aw youtube replay call. They were mostly pro Footscray callers . The last 30 minutes of greatness was so salty it was beautiful. Especially the first hatrick in a minute when they were going on about missed frees etc. 

    Magnificent.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
