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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
