Onya Mel Bourne, NIce summary. I give you 93% I liked Bowey's game and IMO you have omitted him in your appraisal. I would have given them 96% Go DEES!

Earning a game at the Preliminary Final with a weeks rest. In my lifetime. I've never seen the DEES do THAT. G O Y O U M I G H T Y M E L B O U R N E F O O T B A L L C L U B ! I B E L I E V E !

Looks too much like a coach I don't want to name so am not liking this picture...

Time flies. GO DEES!

Bowey IMO is an unconditional IN. Leave him out and I'll create world war 4

1 down. 2 to go.

Thanks heaps for these 5 commentaries to THAT video Whispering Jack! Very impressed with your IT skills! My favourite of the 5 you posted is the one from the ABC. With no fake crowd sound, you can hear the Melbourne players unite in a magnificent roar the moment of Max nailing his history making sausage roll after the siren to clinch the minor premiership in 2021. An epoch-making moment forged forever in my memory, and without doubt for countless other Melbourne supporters also. Bring on the finals and GO you MIGHTY DEES!

GO DEES!

WE SKINNED EM

gonna skin em

We WILL win this

WE can still win this.

Thanks for sharing Flanigan's article - a great window into Indigenous & Colonial history and Tom Wills in the 19th century. Love your painting - thanks again Webber!

ONYA ANB!

I prefer pasties.

I disagree. The GF is at least 6 weeks away, maybe 7. Thats a long time from our current CoVid restrictions. I remain hopeful as we leave winter and enter Springtime that, we'll be able to be there - if and when we qualify - at whatever ground it's played. Still a chance - always a chance! GO DEES!

Back on top - where we BELONG!

Bloody great win Beat the lightening, the umps and Meth Coke all in one night Withstood relentless pressure in the last quarter I'm a VERY proud and happy Demon supporter tonight.

The 1998 finals series did my head in too DR! Melbourne finished the home & away season 4th that year, beat Adelaide in the first final but didn't get to go straight to the Preliminary! The McIntyre Final Eight System in use at the time really disadvantaged teams who were good enough to finish the home and away series in 3rd and 4th positions. This article by Tim Lane in the Age: Eight A Lucky Number For AFL Plodders, finally explained to me the farcical changes made to the AFL finals series in the 90's as the competition expanded and added new teams. The AFL really struggled to find a fair finals system during this time... After much criticism, the McIntyre Final Eight System was replaced by the current AFL Finals System in 2000. IMV it provides the fairest reward for sides good enough to finish the home and away series in the top 4. Let's hope the Dee's make top 4 or even better top 2 this year and take full advantage of this simpler and fairer system.

Clinical Kill. Love it!

Tom McDonald's conduct after receiving that elbow to the jaw from Dane Zorko was exemplary. He pushed back and Zorko staged a fall. Macca then leaned over the prostate Zorko and told him the time of day. Effen AWESOME. After that the umpire awarded Macca the free kick and reported Zorko. MACCA...UNCOMPROMISING...TOUGH...ALL CLASS. Well done Tom McDonald!

How good was THAT 2nd half comeback. SO proud of the MFC! GO DEES!

Really impressed that the umps finally spotted a push in the back from Hipwood. He's gotten away with all day...until now...
