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:

Quote

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.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
