Time to reverse the narrative and ditch the negativity. Only positive vibrations from now on. 

How good would Back 2 Back at the G be?

Set the standard Max

Not sure about veils, but they come in glasses form (with a lovely rose tint to boot).

Missed your post. Kudos to you.

Bet on Melbourne premiership into Adelaide making the 8. Burgess can transform teams, Adelaide will be good next year. We will still be the best.

I was thinking this about Adelaide yesterday, I'd be surprised if they don't improve massively.

2023 they will make the big jump. Next Season they will play some good games

You're probably right, they're coming from a fair way back. Carlton are another that I wouldn't be surprised to see bounce back in a big way next year.

Anyway, back on topic - hell yes we'll be winning again in 2022!!!


Forget back to back. 

I'm already thinking about where to hang my 4peat memorabilia. 

I am going to enjoy the ride. 

After pining for the Dees to be premiership contenders it all crystallised and came to fruition in the space of three months.

This is going to be fun. 

Nervous, unbearable fun.

Yep. Funny how our whole lives it’s been: building, building, WHOOPS, building, building, WHOOPS, building building… up until 2018 on: building, WHOOPS, building, builOMG WE’RE HERE ALL OF A SUDDEN. 

I’ve honestly got no idea what my expectations are for the next few years, but it will be the first time we go in to a season KNOWING we’ve got the ingredients for success. Scary new territory, but I’m up for it.


The humble part of me thinks just 1 more Premiership at the MCG would be nice. Just so I can experience a Premiership at the MCG with my Dad.

The greedy part of me think we need at least 5 more Premierships for the 5 decades that we missed out! Let's over take Carlton and Essendon with their 16 Premierships!

Realistically, with the youth and talent in our team another 2 or 3 Premierships are possible.

We will have to wait and see how hungry the Demons players are for more success I guess?

 

Now I'm nervous again

I see back to back as realistic. No doubt it will be extremely difficult, historically backing up a a granny has been rare. On our side though, is that success has become increasingly cyclic (Brisbane, Cats, Hawthorn, Tigers). We are in the sweet spot now and have a real tail wind. We need to be absolutely relentless in our preparation and drive because others will have watched that finals series and be coming for us with a plan. We need to be better than last year, but with around 7 players in the best 22 at age 21 and below we can reasonably expect improvement even without considering drafting or trading.

 

If they dont get sucked into the hype, this team have the opportunity to back it up.  Other teams have to improve significantly to challenge us at our best.  They will be trying that in the off season, we have to just keep executing better and better a system and culture that has many successes still in it.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
