Three years on and I still haven't processed the proven fact that my wife can levitate!

Maybe I'm blocking it out because she can only do it while screaming 'Fritsch! Fritsch! Fritsch!'

Unforgettable and being there seeing it all proceed. 

There are enough stars with good footy ahead if our role and younger players plus 2/3 trades and 1/2 Windsor type drafts all unite to challenge in the short or long term. 

It was amazing replaying the GF and the MC G celebration and the social interaction with friends and families plus the odd drinks to still celebrate.

Let’s do it again Dees asap!!

December 2021 I remember walking in to the MCC sports museum and spent a good 5 minutes holding the cup.

The attendant asked me not to lift it up off its platform, I quickly assured her there was not a chance in hell I was letting it go 😁

It was a great day. I was lucky enough to have some photos taken with the cup in Miller room during the 2022 season.

Funny that at only 17 points down despite more shots at goal, in typical mfcss fashion I thought it was all over.

I guess it made it the more sweeter.

Never forget the bang bang bang.

The third quarter will be forever part of MFC folklore. 
Harmes fingertip control of the ball and subsequent kick was when i thought “Here we go”

But what happened after that was almost beyond words 

So sad i couldn’t go out afterwards

How long ago was our AFLX back to back premiership before the AFL stepped in and shut it down because we were dominating.

Solly Lew or one of his kids are Dee's fans.  They blew a similarly glorious photo of the premiership team up to life size and had it on their fence after we won.  I made a pilgrimage and took a photo standing next to Fritter, Hibbo and Viney - some real life photoshop magic 😁

I was lucky enough to attend with my then 10 year old son. When I was 10 we lost to the Hawks by 96 points….he has no idea how lucky he is! Possibly the greatest day of my life, just pure joy and elation. 
I knew we were home after Brown’s first in the last quarter and then I could just soak it all up and enjoy it. Crazy to think after Bont’s goal that we would go on to win by the largest margin out of all our premierships. I didn’t shed a tear (too happy) but when I got to unexpectedly hold the cup the next year I welled up a little. That premiership cup is the most beautiful inanimate object I’ve ever held. I cradled it like a new born baby 🤣

Bont cost me 70 dollars to replace my Hisense Remote but has given my Dad multiple laughs as he pictures me punching it into oblivion. What was the worst moment watching live became the favourite part of watching the Replay.

Almost every morning I look at the Pennant and premiership photo on my study wall and start singing the old song , " They can't take that away from me. No,no they can't take that away from me"" I must have watched that third quarter at least fifty times. When you are in your eighties it has a special meaning after wondering if 1964 would be the last one I would ever see. Had a few dreams that we had won a premiership this century only to wake up to reality. Wonderful emotions after this latest one and I went to bed that night a happy and supremely contented man.

What a ride, what a ride the greatest sporting month of my life, September 2021.

If you could bottle that month and open it whenever the time needed, you wouldn't need much else more in life.

I look at that premiership photo nearly everyday.

Special memories.❤️💙🏆🥇

Just before 3/4 time I was busting for the loo and had to leave the room for a few minutes.  As I was sitting on my throne and pondering our comeback (Brayshaw's goal gave us the lead) I could hear shouting from the other end of the house.

I missed seeing the last minute of the 3rd quarter happen "live" so I missed the whole bang-bang-bang moment.  "What happened, what happened?"  Damn.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
