TWEETS

 

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

“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

“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.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
