    Bloody hell. This is the second day in a row where I thought I could make it through an entire day without crying. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

    I just found it on YouTube so I could watch it on the big screen. It’s under “Game Film | It’s Coming Home”

    Ooooh I love it when a new piece of footage drops. It's a pity they had to spoil it with the Bulldogs goals but I guess they had to give some context up to the point just before we obliterated them.

    I couldn't stop smiling watching that video. Had a bit of a tear in my eye at the end when you see Simon Goodwin and Max Gawn hold up the Premiership cup!

    Just a warm and wonderful feeling knowing that we are finally Premiers in 2021. It has certainly been a long time between drinks since 1964.

    I am quietly confident the Demons can win more Premierships in the near future. But this time at our ancestral home the MCG!

    Am I the only person who kept thinking of Eddie Murphy every time BT and Brayshaw call Naughton’s name?

    That was great except two changes I would have made:

    1) Too much focus was on the Bulldogs and their small run on

    2) Every Melbourne goal should be shown

    Also, hilarious that they edited BT’s  awful call on the final siren of “every heart is beating true and blue for the red and blue” to just “every heart is bearing true for the red and blue”.

    Just when do the tears stop. Never cried so much in my life. It just meant so much to me. Decades of crap from friends.

    GO DEE'S

    I was particularly moved with the vision of John Stanaway on the sidelines - there are so many unsung heroes as well.

    Question, how many times have you watched the GF replay? I cant get enough of it. After the GF I stood out side on the front lawn yelling as loud as I could for the mighty DEES, all the while crying.

    I think all of Pakenham heard me.

    This is brilliant. I wouldn’t change a thing about that edit. We looked in all sorts mid way through the 3rd.

    Goodwin ‘Believe in the fitness you’ve got’.

    Unbelievable.

    Midway thru the 3rd quarter what ever was said at Half Time was history the players on the field had to draw on their own intestinal fortitude and perform, watch how Oliver then decided to tag Bontempelli and look at Jackson, Harmes Petracca and Viney they realised that their dream was going unless they do something and do it soon.

    The champion teams of the past always lifted when the result was in doubt, see Preliminary Finals Hawthorn v's Cats 2013, Port in 2014 both match hung in the balance.

    Nah, it’s a significant part of the story. Who at the time DIDN’T think we were in all sorts? Watching that part of the clip gave me a slightly sick feeling, just enough to remind me of the overwhelming despair I experienced at the time when they looked to be running over the top of us.

    True, it but it makes up almost half the video and they skipped over crucial goals like Brayshaw’s (just the still shots).

    “Pants Off Australia”

    So I am sitting in the local coffee shop - you know the one, where the oldies turn up for a smile, cheery hello and coffee.

    Pants Off Australia?

    I look at the ladies behind the counter which gets me thinking : I can make the ladies laugh, make them cry, but pants off, No.

    Pants Off Australia?

    I look at the friendly chap at the next table; he seems to have an outbreak of barnacles....Pants off I hope not.

    Pants Off Australia?

    Perhaps it is political, some very very late news of Malcolm Fraser....

    Ok, I give up perhaps Australia has won the hosting rights to the next Sexual Olympics.....Pants Off Australia.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
