Yes yes new season and all, but whenever I see the cup, I am just so damn proud of this club. The pride is off the scale (and will forever remain so) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
