TWEETS

 

- I’ve quoted here and screengrabbed the visual ones in case the MFC outlasts Twitter—at one point that seemed much less likely!

 

 

“Blaithin Mackin wasn't even in the country three months ago, and now she's just kicked Melbourne's first goal in a Grand Final.” – Gemma Bastiani

 

 

“They actually robbed Eliza West in broad daylight.” – Demonland

 

“Demons first VFL / AFL premiership

def Lions by 4 points in GF (1990)

Demons first AFLW premiership

def lions by 4 pts in GF (2022)” – Joshua Kay

 

“Melbourne wins its first Grand Final by four points. The Demons have not conceded a final quarter goal since round 4 v Brisbane” – Gemma Bastiani

 

“After 64 AFLW matches, Melbourne has won its first premiership!

Karen Paxman has played in every one of those games! She’s been through it all!” – Melbourne Footy

 

The reigning AFL premiership captains

Men's Joel Selwood - born 26th May 1988

Women's DAISY PEARCE - born 27th May 1988” – Swamp

 

“Libby Birch the first AFLW player to win a flag at two different clubs” – Gemma Bastiani

 

Sinead Goldrick the first person to win an AFL Premiership and an All Ireland final.” – Andy Feeney (Have not fact-checked, but pretty sure this refers to AFLW Premiership and Ladies’ All Ireland Final)

It does refer to the Ladies senior football All-Ireland. She has won 4 with Dublin

Oh yeah for sure, I just meant that I'm sure there's someone who has won a men's AFL premiership & men's All Ireland. Tadhg Kennelly?

Beside the point I know, but I always thought it strange that Tadhg Kennelly pronounces his name “Tie” 🤔 

I have a nephew named Tadhg but his is pronounced “Tay-dee” which is the usual pronunciation.

Tadhg Kennelly the only man to do it.

So Melbourne has played a total of 64 games across the 7 seasons. Karen Paxman’s total number of games for the club? …
64! Extraordinary

Mark O'Connor almost achieved it this year (gag!...) after a BOG in an All Ireland Minor Final win for Kerry. The minor final is the curtainraiser for the major final.

Do you have any nieces named 'May-eve' or 'Sin-ed' WCW? 🤔😉

(Asked cheekily but with utmost personal regard 😁)

That is impactful in a whole lot of positive ways.

Good vibes.

B&F speeches. Especially recommend Mick and Daisy's (featuring Chaplin!) for some insight into the behind the scenes stuff from S6 to 7:

Watching them celebrate the past week has almost been as enjoyable as watching them play.

Well done to the club, too, for all the content - the pics and videos have been awesome.

I love the fact that “Demon Spirit” came to be the umbrella term for everything required to win the premiership, from the selflessness to the camaraderie, to the attack on the footy and more.

A social media hashtag that became a creed for the team.

Loved it, some real honest insight from the players. Especially enjoyed Tayla describing her “first ever” goal celebration! And Mick - so much emotion for his players.
