I reckon we are massive chance to have success in the next 5 years. Our list is so young and talented. We have belief and strong culture. Hunger will not drop off yet as they have just had a taste. All our best players are signed up for years to come. Who is our main challengers? The Cats are on the decline. Tigers and Port maybe have one more chance to have a crack. Brisbane, Dogs, WC, Sydney are the main challengers but we will be raging favs going into next season. Too early to get carried away but why not!!?

Has a team ever won the flag having not made the finals the last 2 years?

No doubt PJ and Roosy turned us around. We would not have won this GF without them.

From what Gawn and Goody etc have said about Trac, he lives in the moment and needs to feed off others. He has needed mentors and still does more than most. Not captaincy material Lever is a stand out. Viney also a born leader. But Gawn has been amazing and will stay for at least 2 years

We are all different but for me I need to see it in person. It feels surreal to me. Maybe it hasn’t sunk in. But I want to out with 50K melb fans seeing the joy on their faces and watch the boys win it live. I am relieved and happy we won of course but I am no where near content or satisfied

I seriously think Gawn didn’t hold his ground fully and let Daniel give away the free. The free was a big moment. No way Daniel throws Gawn to the ground like that even with momentum

Our only consistent fwd / goal scorer for the year. Absolutely critical player. he is still underrated somehow?!?

can’t imagine how tough it would be having a new born plus other kids to deal with solo. They all made a big sacrifice I’m sure the HABs will do just as well if the girls are playing away for the ALFW flag

Can anyone who has insights they’d like to share please comment on: what the dogs changed to get on top in the 2nd quarter what we change at half time / during the 3rd quarter to get back on top. was it just the flow of the game or were big tactical changes made? The only ones I am aware of is Treloar going into the middle and Jackson playing 1st ruck more cheers!

If Trac misses that goal it’s potentially a 7 point lead at 3/4 time and anything could have happened. massive goal

Baker Boy was better than Weightman I reckon

And talk about leadership - Gawn was told to go back in the ruck during this period and said no, Jacko is on fire. So selfless

Petracca oliver Salem Fritsch Jackson Viney - 12 clearances, great intensity early

I reckon we’ll win the next 5 on the trot. Who can stop us?! i love you all!! I’m completely in shock

Im more worried about being hired as part of Carlton coaching staff.

Cheers Melbourne for turning on the great 12oC weather. You are really [censored] with us these days. Can’t even enjoy a nice GF sesh in the park bugger it, I might head down to princes park later for a couple of beers just to get out of the house.

Can we all collectively agree to not post on the ‘Is Goodwin the right guy’ thread, win or lose? 😂

Crap, got drunk last night in the hope of a sleep in but up at 6am only 13 hours to go! diddily!

Life defining game

Could only get a wall flag with the dodgy logo but still looks alright

CARN YOU [censored] DEMONS!!! CRUSH THEM!!!!

I somehow am confident we will win by 30+ if it’s close I’ll dead set lose my [censored].

It is fantastic to see how many demons flags and banners around. Such an outpouring from the faithful. I even found out there is a demons fan 4 doors up from me Ive never met! a flag would be so amazing and would reignite the flame of demon passion for years to come. We have been dormant too long

Man I’m like a jack-in-the-box. Can’t sit still, I’ve been told I’m moodier than normal. Wasn’t going to drink but now I’m heavily drinking and betting on the nags just to pass the time. this is all normal right?? 😂

Yeah I feel the same. But in reality a loss will be devastating regardless so we might as well stay positive!
