I was hoping they’ll have more inside footage of like the addresses at half time or Gawn out on the field in the huddle at 3/4 time. 
It was a bit same same. Lucky I love watching us win flags. 
An easy watch. Would watch us win again. 10/10. 

So bloody cut at Foxtel right now. Out of the house so planned to watch on Foxtel GO using my account. Didn't finish working until 9:30. Turned it on and....and the bloody app doesn't let you watch more than 30 minutes earlier. So i can't watch from the start. I swear, the logic of some of these apps is bizarre. 

Guess I have to wait until it's on demand.

Well that was an hour and a half very well spent.

Also, how alike do Todd and Jack look?

Spooky! Almost like they could be related...

What a doco and what crap times this club has been through. All that pain to finally get there. I only got to sit through it for 28 years, I couldn’t imagine 57 years of it. Dees fans are one of a kind.

see you all round one!!

lets goooooo!!!!

 

How bloody awesome was that. 

As a 46 y.o rusted on Demon... the show was a recounting of my life. Was at western oval as a 12 y.o. in 87' and then at all the finals, there for 88, there through the yoyo 90s. The merger game. The 2000 run. The [censored] years and the guys who died way way too young.

Was at Optus oval - took the 8 year old son - so glad he doesn't understand the [censored] we've had on our plate for so long.

 

Enjoy the success now and fingers crossed for the year ahead

Thick lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Being a Melbourne supporter is a life sentence. Wish it went for another 2 hours. Essential viewing.

Hahaha again my husband with his commentary throughout… “Gees Jack Viney really aged this pre season”

The confirmation of the Viney story from his first season, when he was 18, where he let some players know they were not giving it a real effort after being pumped in our first couple of games was amazing to hear.

Jonesy and Jetts… sad face.

Fantastic docco!

Hate him or love him that was a great performance by Garry Lyon. Well done to Mike Sheehan also who conducted the interviews.

My spine tingled the whole way through to the end from the moment they started discussing the Grand Final onwards.

I'm seriously so greedy and hungry for more finals success!

*I’ve got something in my eye

Great doco, it’s important to tell the history so it’s clear how much this means. 

Gawn’s legend is growing. He is the modern day charismatic selfless leader we needed. 

the talk of preseason feeling different and the players finally buying in has me so pumped for round 1

If we never win another flag in my lifetime, my biggest regret on my deathbed will be that I couldn’t be there to experience that joy in person.  
I hope like hell we get to see it again live. 

Anyone laugh when Ben Brown said he wanted to stay at North but then they were happy to trade him.

LOL Norf 🤪

Can't believe no mention whatsoever of Burgess or Taylor or Mahoney. And a one second reference of Peter Jackson. Those guys were pivotal in our rebuild and getting us to where we are today, in my opinion

Same…. [censored] I hope we get to see one in the flesh. 

That was awesome. Didn’t think I’d still feel emotional 6 months later but there you go.

Flag unfurling will be a must see!

The images of the players coming off after the  “merger game” against the Hawks, the jacket Balme had on…. Makes me miss me Dad, he had the full length jacket the same as Balme and a Dees tracksuit he would wear to games.
 

We’d walk from Fitzroy to the G and stop off at pubs on the way, I was an embarrassed 18yr old and he couldn’t give two fks.

A bit harsh no defenders got an interview, especially as our defence won us the flag really. One of May, Lever, Sales should have been included

That was great, I do wish Garry Lyon could stop worrying about being so biased at times and just came out and said that grand final was the most dominant quarter and half ever played in the history of the sport.

Your Dad sounds like he was a legend.
