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!


Best footy memory. What a dominant season and a great grand final win. Bang! Bang! Bang! will bounce around my head for eternity.

I remember that.

Same here JB was there but MCG Flag beckons. 

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.'


I want more. Plain and simple. When I am reminded of this glorious day, it makes the sting of this year's straight sets exit come back to the forefront of my mind.

My greatest football supporting day in the life of my family and we had to watch it in three different households but we all turned up to watch the replay together 1st thing Sunday morning. 💕💕💕

Yeah amazing   might    Please one more at the G       I really though we could do it this year but alot of  bad luck played a big part.                    Reload  with the trade and draft (strong hand this year)   We will be top 4 again next year I am sure... (hope)    Thanks to all players again this year you busted your guts all year alas not to  be

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.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
