The Premiership feeling

The look in Tracs eyes after he kicks that dribbler is the hunger and determination that only the absolute champions like Voss, Hodge and co have. seeing that, and looking back, it would have taken something incredible to beat us from that moment. 

No disrespect to Voss, but I think Trac will become a better player the  Voss if he hasn't already.

I’ve always tried to imagine what it’d be like to win one and this is a googolplex times better than anything I could envision. But what has caught me unawares more than anything is how LONG this feeling lasts. Fair dinkum, the pure joy and overwhelming feeling of relief and the feeling of pride to almost bursting point has not diminished one iota. In fact, some days I think it’s even stronger! Besides that, the fact that it doesn’t feel as though it’s fully sunk in yet is amazing. It’s still unbelievable! You simply could not put a price on this feeling. Even if Jeff Bezoz and Elon Musk and Richard Branson et al pooled their $$$ it wouldn’t come anywhere near the worth of the MIGHTY DEES winning a PREMIERSHIP!!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. Without doubt it was the happiest day of my life. ❤️💙

It's a really strange one, i've probably watched the replay 30 ish times so far, and it still hasn't quite sunk in that we actually did it. 

I am exactly the same, I've either watched the full game, the second half or highlights every day since the grand final and It still hasn't quite sunk in. I thought my entire life that I'd cry like a baby when it happened but I was in shock from all the goals and the way we destroyed the dogs . 

I think that it comes with having watched it all through lockdown when usually I am (and I am sure many of you are) at every single game in Melbourne home or away. Not seeing the Grand Final win (or any game live since July 3rd) in the flesh seems to come with a weird kinda surreal detached emotion.
Maybe it's because we didn't get to party or celebrate as a group of supporters would into the night.
It's like its a dream, its still not quite real but I know it is and it was the most pure joy i've felt in my life.

That's  why  Dec5th is so big for  the Melb home supporters to really feel the atmosphere etc.

Well this morning I am angry, annoyed , dissolutions and very disappointed. For the first time in weeks there is not one mention of the premiers in today's edition of the HUN. I mean what is going on? 

They only love the filth ... and I guess Richmond, Essendon et al.

Can someone tell me what its going to be like now to get supporters and players picked on every week, have your good players hard balled, shadowed and lined up, and not get any favours at all from any umpires.

I'm sure the back of Max's head feels better already knowing Mumford has retired. Having watched the Anzac Eve game again on Saturday, Riewoldt and Nankervis can f off as well!!

Following that everything was going right for them. Keath taking a contested mark in our forward line, then kicking to the wing when Naughton took another contested mark 3 deep. That was when I truly thought we were gone.

Me too, that was the moment that I thought we were cooked. Just couldn't get our hands on it. Next thing you know, Fritsch finally kicks that settler, and what followed was the most dominant stretch of play I think I've ever witnessed. That third quarter just doesn't get old.

Although at the Stadium on the day it is amazing Watching it on TV now really awakens me to the completely separate halves of the 3rd quarter and how we couldn't generate any scoring opportunities ( but kept Doggies to 2 goals only) to suddenly flick a switch and presto 7 majors on the run pretty well sealed our drought breaking flag agony.

That  quarter along  with the last quarter of the GF and Round 23 at the Cattery plus the Gawny Masterclass 3rd stanza in the Prelim are about the best 4 quarters of footy we have played in a patch for decades.

Truly Premiership quality footy by the Undoubted best team in the comp in this season.

All hail the magnificent awesome sensational  Demons of 2021.

In what seems like another life I was at a Pies/Tigers game at Vic Park - every time Peter Moore went for a mark, Mark Lee punched him in the back of the head.

I also remember Luke Darcy punching Woey? so hard in the back of the head I was surprised his noggin didnt end up on the top deck of Colonial Dome.

On the other hand, the club hasn't prepared me to deal with success. I don't mean that flippantly. I enjoyed the game and I'm still thinking about it, but I'm not sure whether I'm making the most of what might be the makings of a dynasty or perhaps just a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I think we are well looked after in that regard. One of the things l have really been impressed by is the way the club and the players have behaved post game. Sure they rightly celebrated hard, but it was by no means over the top, and the club fairly quickly has started to focus on the next assault.
 

The forensic analysis of what makes a winning AFL organisation (which they so impressively demonstrated in 2121) has been refocused on 2022 and beyond, which makes me very confident this is going to continue well into this decade. 
 

I do not recall any winning AFL team  in recent times displaying such restraint and good sense. It is great credit to the club at all levels from the playing group to executive management and makes me, for one, very confident this is no “flash in the pan”. Besting Carlton’s and Essendon’s 16 premierships by the end of the decade would be a nice (and realistic) goal as neither of them are going to win one in the next 5-8 years!

I'd be careful about those kinds of statements, that's what their supporters would have been saying about us, up until this year. Those teams now have a role model/ road map to follow. How successful they are at that could come quickly with the right people in the right roles and a buy in from the players.

Um, name any side that's played better than Melbourne, especially against Geelong in the prelim - without May effectively - and the last quarter and a half against the Dogs.  That was total control.

The great thing is I’m stressed anymore about footy and will we ever win one or not.

Im ecstatic we’ve won one and can now watch footy with a sense of accomplishment and pride in the knowledge that we’ve reached the pinnacle.

Anything from now on will be icing on the cake.

I am assuming they will continue to apply the same disciplines and common sense they did post grand final. That is the point l was making - l think, We should all take heart from their behaviour after the GRAND FINAL, and l am assuming that discipline will continue, but we all need to be vigilant.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
