Yes I concur. I even went back last Sunday for a second hold and photos as I was not happy with the photos of myself on the first occasion.

What the Cup symbolises is pride, excellence in achievement, and a journey by all supporters like no other which means so much after such a long time. 

Our players and staff under the circumstances are immortals who will be even prouder for the history making journey that they  have undertaken.

Achieved in an utterly disorganised season by the pandemic our Cup will even grow in stature by the football public along with history and evolvement of time.

In seasons gone by, this would have been someone else's club like Hawthorn or Richmond that greeted the touring international premership team at the MCG and basked in the glory of being the respective champions.

...but now it's us and it's our turn.  Still kinda doesn't feel real, but it is true and it's a bloody magnificent feeling.

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

Well said. I never thought I'd be so enamoured with the object itself, just expected it to feel like a mere symbol, a fun photo op and that's it. But when I touched it, there was something electric about it. Probably was more impactful than otherwise in making it feel real since so much of the experience was virtual to that point.

Oh it’s still a symbol…………………..of my life’s pursuit.

I feel for those whose dream it was to live to see a Melbourne premiership, yet were unable to. I am sooooo fortunate and grateful that I got to, and so I celebrate it for them as well.

did we get any silverware for being the minor premier

The minor premiers win the Dr McLelland trophy which, apparently, is "a perpetual shield that is kept at AFL House" (see Wikipedia)

Hmm. Did you unplug it first? That might explain it.


Tigers break all-time record; ‘Embarrassing’ Eagles face AFL world’s wrath: 3-2-1

Nice that another club is stepping up to the plate to take the mantle from us.

 

We play the Eagles in another few week and I'd love for us to have a crack at beating 186.  The game is at our happy hunting ground of Optus Stadium, so hopefully that helps.  I don't the Optus will be ever the cauldron of doom of the Eagles or Freo again for our current playing group.

Here is a record I am not proud of - havent been to a game since the Cairns disaster.  Easily the longest break from watching MFC in my life.

I think this thread about embarrassing records has reached its use by date. Time for something more positive. What records do we now hold that are ones we can be proud of? 

Jake Bowey tops the list of players who never played in a loss with 10. The next best, held be a few people is 9.

Is the 12 goals in a row the best ever in a Grand Final?

Has any team ever kicked three goals in less than a minute of game time?

Please add to the list. Let's enjoy our true magnificence! 

Now 14. Let's not get blase about this. That's 5 more than the next best.


I think there are two records being confused here.

The record that Bowey holds is the most number of career games without a single loss.

The other record is most games before first loss, as shown in the table above.  Bowey is four wins behind that particular record at the moment.

This is the more impressive of the two. Whereas in the other record a player can have experienced a loss and then followed that up with a long run of wins, Jake may rack up the same number of wins without ever knowing what it’s like to lose.  
PS: Middle para (above), instead of ‘most’ you mean ‘highest’ right? Soz DS, but this is a rare occasion where someone gets to point out an error of yours. I ain’t about to let that go begging! 😆

Now 15. He's also now the holder of the record for current players of wins before his first loss, having overtaken Ben McEvoy who started with 14 wins before a loss. 

Just a reminder that the overall record of wins before first loss is 19 held by Albert Lauder of Collingwood. There are no players with 18; two with 17 (Kelvn Moore of Hawthorn and and Alby Ingleman of Carlton), none on 16 and three others with him on 15. So, he's equal third on that list at the moment.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
