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.

    Ron Barassi was involved in x6 MFC premierships.

    Fritta, wearing the number 31, kicked x6 goals in the GF.

    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.

    I see seeing the numbers 666 & 13 frequently throughout the finals series

    Dees kicked 57 points in last qtr, Dogs kicked 7

    57+7 = 64

    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 ...

    Please buy a spare MFC onesie.

    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.

    Massive earthquake near Melbourne a few days before as though the gates of hell themselves were opening, while at the same time we had 6,666 active COVID cases 🤟🏻

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
