While I don't believe in superstitions, i think they are bad luck...boom, tish...I'll be here all week (well at least that part is true) there were certainly some omens that correlated with the Dees getting up on the weekend....I still cant quite believe that our team are the premiers.

So here goes, the omens that foretold of the Dee's victory

Last time Melbourne were Minor Premiers - 1964 - Outcome Melbourne Premiers.

2021 Melbourne Minor Premiers and Premiers ✅

Last time Olympics held in Tokyo - 1964 - Outcome Melbourne Premiers.

2021 Tokyo hosts the Olympics and Melbourne Premiers ✅

Only other team to come from 5 goals down after halftime at Geelong to win - 2006 WCE - Outcome WCE premiers

2021 Melbourne come from 42 points down to win at Gellong - Melbourne Premiers ✅

Last time a captain kicked a goal after the siren to win the Minor Premiership - 1987 Kernahan Carlton - Outcome Carlton premiers

2021 Gawn kicks goal after siren to win the minor premiership - Melbourne Premiers ✅ 

The big one...Age of Norm Smith when he passed - 57 years - Years since Melbourne Premiership - 57 years! The curse is over!

And a slightly left field one Melbourne finished the H&A season with 1888 points scored - being lucky in both Christen (Petracca of course) and Chinese numerology (lets go with the Norm Smith medalist, Jock McHale medallist and the Premiership cup)

Anyone got any others??

Anyway I think I am going to wear out the internet with the number of times I have already watched the multi-call of the last minute of the third quarter...unbelievable.

    My son was born on the Monday before Round 1. Every game day he wore the MFC onesie. The day we played Adelaide he threw up on himself and we had to change him. The day we played Collingwood he [censored] on himself and we had to change him. The night we got beaten by the Bulldogs he threw up on himself. I can't explain the GWS loss. 😂

    I played golf the morning of the grand final and found a ball that someone had written the number  31 on it.     That was my omen

    My daughter who is 7yo asked my mum, her grandma, how old she was when Melbourne won their last premiership, she was 7yo old too. I knew we were home before the first bounce.

    So... my wife knew the result before the game even began.

    As they were bringing the premiership cup out, not only did the ribbon on the Bulldog's side of the cup slip down, but after they tidied it, it slipped down again and was left there on display.

    Game over.

    Not only did it predict the result it even predicted the progress of the game.

    The winning jockey's colours for the feature race on Saturday were red and blue.

    1+9+6+4 = 20. 2020 was meant to be the year but due to the madness it was not a real year (16 min quarters, 17 rounds) so it doesn't count. Replaced by 2021.

    2019 - Finish 17th

    2020 - Finish 9th - jump of 8

    2021 - Finish 1st - Jump of 8

    Not an omen but a pattern.

    Maybe not an omen so much, but a cracking prediction came from my Canadian wife. A woman who has at no stage had any faith in the team in her 6 years watching the game. 

    After watching round 1 she turned around to me and said "We look different this year. I'm calling it now - we'll finish first and win the flag" 

    I laughed at the time ...

    Pre-game ceremony - as Lyon and Grant went to pick up the Cup - the Dogs ribbon dropped to the bottom of the handle.  My whole family noticed and cheered.  Even the Cup knew where it was headed.

    I wrote here earlier in the year that I had a strange feeling about this year being a good one.

    I mentioned to a mate that we alway win the flag in strange times globally.

    Federation, WWI, the Depression, WW2 etc.

    We were  certainties in the strange days.

    FFS, please get a better understanding of your son's digestive system, so that we don't unnecessarily loose game's in 2022, particularly to Collingwood and on GF day make sure he eats whatever he wants.

    What happened against Hawthorn?

    Thought that too, but there’s the possibility that the omen meant that 2020 was the last year of the curse, rather than it being the year the curse was broken and we won the flag.

    • 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?

      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.

      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.
