Happy 1 Year Premiership Anniversary Demonlanders


Engorged Onion

Recommended Posts

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.

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 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

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.

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.

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.❤️💙

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
