Sorry if this has already been posted, was watching the Carlton replay and they said a new documentary on our premiership 'Every Heart Beats True' will premiere on Foxtel , Tuesday, March 8 at 8:30.

ADMIN EDIT DOCUMENTARY ATTACHED:

 

 

Have been waiting for something like this - Beaut!

 

This does look good. I have been looking out for one of those shows where the players sit in front of a screen and recall the grand final. Does anyone know if we are likely to get one of those?

Did I miss this or is this a new announcement?

If the latter...isn't it odd that the first we're hearing about this is 4 days before it airs?

Not really, they typically show it a week or so before the season and only start hyping it during the preseason games. It's a fox footy production not an MFC production.

 

Worth noting that it's going to cover more than just last year, as per FoxFooty article:

The compelling documentary delves into the club’s history, spinning fresh angles on the heartbreaking 1987 Preliminary Final loss, the 1996 attempted merger with Hawthorn, Neale Daniher’s stint as coach and more.

 


Sheesh, 10 mins in and already I’m crying.

Life is incredibly cruel that Jim could never experience this glory.

Or Robbie. 
At least Neale got to see it! 
 

What did my grand dad and father bloody do too me?! I was 10 at Footscray, all the finals and the worst car ride home to Geelong in the Prelim.
Also it’s said on here often but Jesus we’ve had some horrible times with early deaths around this club.


Would love to see Roos at Round 1.

Pipedream I know, but he was so important to this club.

Good god, winning 7 games in 3 years.

So I’m watching this with my husband who is a recent arrival to the Melbourne supporting club thanks largely to me refusing to marry him if he didn’t get serious about AFL and Melbourne… when that Geelong loss was shown and then that stat was mentioned, he turns to me and goes “how is it possible to be this bad?”

He has no idea. Bloody bandwagoner!

One can so easily forget about Round 23 considering the run we had in the finals.

I need to go and watch that game again.

It’s been pretty depressing so far. 
The good part is coming. I hear we win a flag in this one.

Two of my mates are Dees members, a Liverpool lad and a Kiwi… they just can’t believe the shot we fans went through in those dark years. Seeing the family name let alone there names on the flag is so amazing.

Oh man, this NEVER GETS OLD.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
