A great night. I only wished I’d set up a camera taping myself watching the game. The highs of the first quarter, followed by the next 1.5 quarters getting further and further gloomy……………………and then 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

 

On this day last year I was picnicking in the Yarra Park sun in the lawn at the MCG. Looking forward to trade period so I can stop drawing comparisons.

Only time to cry from happiness other than birth of my children. It felt like the tears released the years of torment and anguish and brought so much joy, such a unique feeling.

I could think back to the times growing up during school, workplaces, etc where I'm the only Dees supporter and copped it and thinking my children going for the mighty Dees won't be considered a form of child abuse these days 😁.

It was a surreal moment, from the very start, season 2021 felt like things just went our way or was meant to be. The next day, we went to a park and I really appreciated complete strangers approaching us, even Bulldogs fans and saying how happy they were for Melbourne fans.

It definitely feels like a tremendous weight has been lifted since becoming premiers. Sure going out in straight sets was frustrating, but the warmth and pride of winning it in 2021 definitely helped lessen the blow.

Ill forever be content knowing I lived to see a Melbourne premiership.

What a night it was. Watched until the broadcast ended and was still too amped to sleep.

Prelim got a viewing last night. Geelong were not much different in playing style to this year, we were just so much better. Bring on next year.


Can confidently say nothing better happened to me in the next 365 days.

I think of this quite a bit. I had a Ipad camera running for the celebration part but wish the previous 3 hrs was on there too.

Would get a few repeat watches I reckon!


All my anger from watching the Footy has disappeared this year having seen what I thought was never going to happen in my lifetime. A Premiership Poster to smile at every morning i wake up. But I can't help but have tears appear every time I watch a Grand Final moment, an interview, a documentary, any type of footage that reminds me of that glorious moment of Our Grand Final Victory.

Exactly watched the incomparable 2021 Granny triumph on Sunday night and only 2 players different vs Lions in defeat on the Semi. Too many lucky to be selected really on form and fitness.!

One error was that  Bowey should have been selected and Tmac was only nearly ready for return. But too many underwhelming mainly role players played that night and did not get us across the line. Many had relatively poor seasons compared to 2021 and were not dropped and challenged to find form when our selection position snd Casey's form provided an opportunity.

Lessons to be learnt by the Club.

Im sure we will do it again on the G in the next year or two.

Fully in agreement. Seemed like Players were being picked hoping they'd come good as us supporters thought they might but being rewarded due to your form at Casey should be an incentive too. TMac i thought was a big loss, we need more Leading in the forward line as its the easiest avenue to goal. 


I was impressed by Kate Roffe speech at the B&F, I love the idea of the Premiership Ring for all premiership players and the Life Membership and making it retrospective for all of our existing legends. Kate is so inclusive for everyone involved in club including members and supporters. Nice touch to mention LJ wishing him all the best but also welcoming him back if the Freo thing doesn’t work out.❤️💙

  • PREGAME: Essendon

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
