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: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
