I got it. Just reading out statistics for our club, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen our premierships listed as 13 in print. I even out out the grand final one and compared them. 12 and 13. It’s still setting in. We have 13 premierships, not 12 anymore.

    I've just picked up the Hun mag. It shows the string of our thirteen (🎵Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!🎵) and it's the first time I've twigged that ten have been against Collingwood (6) and Essendon (4). Wouldn't mind a few last Saturdays in September against them in this era!

    Can you pick these up from the newsagent?

    Yup - along with a Herald Sun glossy publication. (It's also available from the MFC shop for 10% off...)

    Actually I’d love to see some new opponents. Half of our premierships have been against Collingwood. The other half apart from 3 have been against Essendon. 19 grand finals with 6 different opponents.

    Ditto here, but then I tried later this afternoon in yarraville and they had copies of both, all seems very adhoc

    Four in a row will put us back on equal first.

    Looking forward to it.

    I can see how fans get greedy.

    I missed out on a record in week 1. I didn't know what day it came out and didn't go looking for it until the day of the game by which time they were all sold out. You can bet your [censored] I got the prelim, GF & Premiership editions on the day of release though

    I missed it too but got a copy on eBay for cover price. I'm sure you'll still be able to find some on there

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
