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.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
