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. 


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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
