I for one haven’t moved on. 
Not planning to any time soon. 
❤️💙😁❤️💙

Totally with you WCW. The MFC supporters won’t be moving on for a few weeks/months yet.

As for everyone else, they can all they like, I don’t really care. Now is the time to be drinking in all the premiership glory and turn our attentions to 2022 in 2022. Still got 3 months of celebrating to go!

    Not for me, it’s ground hog day here. Just turned the tv on and on Fox Footy Grand Final replay 11.10 to go in the third qtr. I think I might watch it.

    They have to follow the media cycle - 17 other clubs hoping to win the off season (like we used to). I just have to flick on a replay (today I watched the r23 minor premiers game again) to bring me back to my happy place.  The trade and draft pundits can wet the bed as much as they like, they can NEVER take this away from me.

    I am happy to move on (to #14 in 22) anytime.

    What is trade period?  Let’s just ignore it. I’ve had too many years of hanging out for salvation.  

    Premiership Enlightenment is here and we can enjoy it. 

    Let the miserable pies and blues and Hawks and Roos and Saints and tigers and the others fight for scraps of footy stories and interest!!!

    Ya, even 93 down we can peel off a quick ton

    I recall a similar feeling of desolation after the 1964 flag. In those days, it was the Age, the Sun and the Herald and World of Sport. I think there was a photo of John Lord in the following Tuesday's Herald, and not much else.

    I thought the next premier after us was going to be one of Penrith or the Rabbitohs. The Government of NSW might beat them to it.

    (How would you like to be heading into a Grand Final at the same time as that hot mess in NSW?)

    This is one of the reasons why I became a lifetime subscriber to Demonland after the weekend. I have waited a lifetime to enjoy this, so I’ll come here and do it!

    Support the Demonland folks and get on board. Literally all of my favourite supporter moments of our premiership year have been on here. 

    You’ve echoed my sentiments exactly, THBT! It hasn’t even been a week yet. My fam and friends will probs only humour me for a little while longer but eventually they’ll kinda forget about it. But on Demonland, it’s always gonna be welcome subject matter. 
    PS: I truly hope your little nephew enjoyed the win. 💕

    And the 2022 season starts from scratch. Irrespective of 2021, it all starts a fresh with all clubs equal. And yep, the Dees will be a scalp that the enemy will be seeking.

    It's so hard to believe its nearly been a week and I am definitely not ready to move on. Not interested in trades, not even interested in other sports that I'm passionately into. Heck, I'm not even interested in talking to friends that don't have an interest in Melbourne right now haha. 

    Trade talk should have a moratorium for a week after the grand final. In fact it should never be talked about again.

    We seem to be disinterested in trades as a unit.

    I was surprised by the retention of Brown , Daw and Weed but giants do not grow on trees.

    Beanstalks perhaps.

    Very good move Biff at least for 2022.  They have value. Pleased they are on board. But we need to have the twos playing a full season.

    He loved the win, but will love it even more when all the ridiculous premiership merchandise we got him and his brother turns up. 10 year olds like cheeseboards right? 🤣

    The most important 17 minutes in the club's history as BT described it.

    Watched it twice today. Watch kossie. He tackles weightman and forces turnover to Bowey who kicks to Brayshaw. Then shepherds doggies no.5 to protect Trac when kicking his goal from the pocket.

    Only multiple viewing helps pick out these little gems.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
