Booked in for 12:30 Sunday and my new Premiership polo and cap arrived yesterday, can’t wait.❤️💙

Was a great little experience, the staff are brilliant, friendly and excited for us Dees fans. Dropped another $100 at the AFL shop. The Drake tshirts are excellent and selling like “hot cakes” apparently.

I saw those throwback tees being advertised online the other day for all teams and was hoping ours would have Mayne Nickless or Hertz on it like the training tops I used to have. The Carlton one with Avco and Collingwood with Yakka are probably the two most iconic from that era. I'd have loved the Richmond one to have had a little .05 on one breast with the words Bloody Id!@t plastered across the front.

Got to go today with my 2 boys and seeing the cup in the flesh was glorious

We got there around 430pm and the place was practically empty, we were able to go straight in with no queue just had to wait for the lady who was getting a photo with her daughter to finish then we were straight in. Kids had fun at the sports museum too with the interactive stuff so was a good arvo all round 😀

Was Yakka from the 70s? My memories of the Pies were with Spicers Papers which was the late 80s

Took the punt, went in with MFC email. Staff very helpful and all good 🏆

Hi Gonz. Yeah, I think it was. It's funny the things you remember. My family emigrated here in late 1979 and my first memory of footy was seeing North play Collingwood in a prelim on a black & white portable telly in the migrant hostel in Springvale we were staying at. I still remember the order that all the clubs finished that year (we were 11th with 5 wins I think) and the sponsors each club had. Essendon had Don Smallgoods, South had Just Jeans and Footscray's was Pyrox, the people heaters. North had Budget because of Bob Ansett who was their club president at the time.

What a killer memory! Is it just as good at retaining useful information? 😁 JK

Hey Rab! Just curious… your family emigrated from Scotland in a Carlton premiership year. My family also emigrated (from Ireland) in a Carlton premiership year and this was the reason my brothers jumped on the Blues bandwagon. (In 1979 11th meant second last.) What was your reason for choosing the Dees?

Hi WCW. My dad & brother jumped on the Richmond bandwagon when they won the 1980 premiership.

Another Scots family that we knew who had already made the move here convinced us to emigrate. I think my folks saw the writing on the wall when Thatcher got elected. Anyway, we'd just got off the plane and I was hanging out in their eldest son's bedroom for him to get home from school and saw all of these footy club stickers (from Hutton's Footy Franks) on his wardrobe and being quite visually minded took an instant liking to the Demons one. It was a slow burn from there over the summer but when I saw that only one other kid followed Melbourne in my school in Dandenong I knew they were the team for me and that I wanted to get a season ticket. Everyone was into Kiss and followed Collingwood so I took an instant dislike to both. 

And no, I rarely retaining useful information.

Well you sure picked the right team! And I’m guessing that beautiful last Saturday in September this year has made your 42 years of pain SO worth it.

Finally gotta photo with my Dad holding the Melbourne Demons 2021 AFL Premiership Cup today!

Was a wonderful moment! Saw many other happy Melbourne Demons supporters with their families taking photos with our 57 year drought breaking Premiership Cup!

It finally feels real! We are reigning Premiers! Go Demons! 😁👍🏻

Well done to the club on the whole Cup Tour and for making it so accessible to us plebs.

In all my years of dreaming about a flag, I never imagined that we'd get our hands on the actual silverware.  

Thanks MFC!

Agree and have photos with all 13 as a bonus . Glad I got there early on the the 5th

didn't know they allowed smoking in the sports museum 


Finally had the opportunity to touch the cup today along with my wife, daughter, daughter-in-law and two grand kids. It was a memorable experience and all staff were very helpful. We went straight to the Cup and then had a bit of fun with the various inter- active games and all came away happy and satisfied.go Dees.💕❤️💙

Went yesterday afternoon and got photos of holding the cup. Went down the escalator into the room and there it was, our premiership cup……………an absolutely surreal moment and a great way to end the most memorable of years (footy-wise).

Bring on 2022. I’m still hungry.

I'm going to a function with the Queensland Demons on Saturday, before the game, and the Cup is attending as is the CEO. Prior to that I believe it is at a Sporting Globe function, so I will assume it will travel to the City Of Churches at some stage. Perty promised it will continue it's tour and I expect it will be in the Alice as well.

Love Kozzie!

Great to see Kate Roffey travel to all the communities and that the club had AM-W front and centre and were accompanied by our AFLW players Alyssa Bannan and Megan Fitzsimon.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
