Never tire of these photos.

I still believe we can win 1,2 or 3 Flags before 2030 depending  upon our mini rebuild this draft, injuries next season and development of our young players and the Coaches we appoint also. 

All sounds very easy!!

Very glad I was there to see it, but need one more at the G for the MFC's to be permanently removed.

I presume that was an autocorrect (which autocorrect wanted to make 'autocorrelation', btw!!) of 'MFCSS', Jib?

That you meant what it appears to say is too horrible to contemplate!

Lucky enough to be there and it was the best day of my life. I’m married with 2 kids so I keep that opinion pretty quiet at home 🤣. Geez we looked gone halfway through the third quarter. We couldn’t take a mark and were fumbling everything. The rest is history. I still can’t believe it!

Amongst all the incredible feelings that came with winning the premiership, I found that the most enduring was the one that is usually the most short-lived, that being disbelief. Months into 2022 I’d hear a news segment that would begin with, “Reigning Premiers Melbourne…” and I’d think sh!tt that’s right… we won the premiership! It took forever to sink in. ❤️💙

My google photo reminders on this day 25th September, 2021 were on my phone nice and early today to brighten my day.

Lucky enough to be able to watch the drought breaking flag, now we need to break the drought in Melbourne.

p.s. I was sitting directly in line with Fritta's shot in the 3rd and thought it was a hitting the post till some natural fade kicked in and steered it through.

The rest is history.

I'll never forget the day I learnt my wife could levitate.

And also that she probably loves Bailey Fritsch more than she loves me.

Here's a strange detail - sometimes I've only re-watched the early part of the third quarter just to be reminded of the sensation that it was all slowly slipping away. That we were grinding the game down enough to slow the Dogs' scoring but showed no signs of being able to hit back, and it seemed inevitable that once in a while Bontempelli would still show up and cut another hole through our defence, making the situation ever-harder.

It is as if I've been training myself to associate that feeling of tension on the edge of despair with 'massive victory good times.'

Every type of emotional experienced. It was very stressful at the time, but looking back now you could make a movie about it! We were down on the canvass with Bont's 3rd then we kicked 3 goals in a minute twice!! Could hardly believe what was going on, it was spine tingling stuff, some of the most dominant football ever seen in the 3rd, then party time in the 4th! Happy anniversary everyone 😁

It feels like a lifetime ago and have lost 4 home finals in a row.

We need to step up big next year and not waste this talented list

Remind me to never ask you to sign a birthday card. You’d probs be like, you’re looking so much older, you’re not exercising enough and the middle age spread has set in.

Still remember the exact moment I knew we were going to win it in the 4th, sitting on my coffee table inches away from my 65" TV. I had no words, only tears.

I knew we’d won after the first goal of the last. 25 or so minutes watching with a feeling of pure elation after that moment.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
