When did the tears start watching the grand final?
My heart goes out to you. My uncle is dying of cancer. Heâs been open about it but doesnât like anyone to fuss over him or give him preferential treatment. He also doesnât like to be reminded of it. I think he just likes to keep it out of his mind as much as possible. While I understand your anger, please understand that itâs something she may have been instructing to accept herself. Iâm sure it wasnât anything against you or anything.

When did the tears start watching the grand final?
I never once cried when I thought we were going to lose it. I was scared and breathing heavy in the 3rd quarter. When we started kicking goals like no tomorrow, the joy was outstanding. I canât say exactly when, but towards the end, my eyes just started welling up. Almost involuntary, a tear slid down my cheek. I finally turned to my father and said âI think we have it.â That got him and he started to cry. We just hugged and cried through the rest of the match. Lots of tears when the cup was held up. Like a moment I was convinced my dad or uncle would never see. I guess there was also an element of my uncle being able to see this before he passes. Post match celebrations we settled down and enjoyed it. But then they started playing âNothingâs gonna stop us nowâ by Starship, I donât know I just started again. My dad was confused. I think it was just the lyrics that got to me. âBuild this dream together, standing strong forever, nothingâs gonna stop us nowâŠâ It just sums our team and what they went through and what they achieved perfectly. I donât expect everyone to be that emotional, but I was wondering what was the moment that bought you to tears, if any.

Now that weâve won the premiership in the menâs
Do you think it will help inspire the women? That we went one more than they did (well two more, technically.) Will it dull the interest in the womenâs competition for you or will it make you hope that they too can achieve this greatness. My friend at work has no interest in the womenâs despite his team winning one. Some suggest that some teams are so desperate for success, theyâll take any kind of premiership they can get. I donât subscribe to this, but what does everyone else think. Just the truth. No need to be rude but be honest.

Proved them wrong
Yup thatâs the guy. Overrated. 154 game? Didnât even make it to 209. 293 goals is good but hardly a huge record in hawthorn considering Dunstall and Hudson. Captained Victoria? If not so what? Virtually any Hawthorn player in that team was guaranteed a premiership with the team they had. All Australian, his teammates made him look good. We would have been on their interchange. There were way better people on his team. He was overrated. As for coaching Sydney, they were in the sink at that stage. An Auskick coach could have got the job at Sydney

My younger brother claims heâs getting this with Premiers 2021 on his butt He claims he canât as the tattoo parlours arenât open atm. Is that true? Can anyone prove heâs chickening out?

Never liked him. Overrated player remembered for once kick that led to a grand final where they got thrashed. No wonder unlike Ayres he never got a coaching gig

Be proud to wear your Melbourne gear!
On Sunday, I went to my local supermarket, wearing my demons scarf. Out the front there was a guy in a magpie hat. I looked at him and he at me. Then he just looked back at him phone and continued on. For the first time I ever felt a superiority over another supporter. For once, I didnât feel like there was going to be a put down comment or a smart alec remark or even a rolling if the eyes. Iâve experienced a lot of those in the path. I think this is a feeling you can only get when you win a premiership. I like it.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
This is the first time since 1983 that we have a living premiership coach.

Itâs gone. We have to accept that we arenât the whipping boys anymore. Demons are now the top team and the ones to beat. Now even the non-existent âcurseâ is gone. Now we can stop using it for an excuse if we donât win a grand final. Only Hawthorn are a team that we owe grand final revenge against. All other we have beaten in grand finals.

What they're saying at Whitten Oval.
They were laughing how the premiership was theirs and how sweet it was. Once they started losing they changed their tune saying 2021 doesnât count. They even claimed theyâre still better than us. Come on, we were in the top 4 all year. The only beat Brisbane by a bees d**k. They claim they they werenât doing certain things and got unfair penalties, very few actually admit we were the better team. They also claimed that margins donât really matter. Ok beaten by 74 points theyâre still the better team. I was embarrassed and humiliated when We lost in 2000 by 60 points. Iâd never once claim it didnât matter. Clowns

I had no doubt theyâd do that. But who can wait that long? Besides, I want an extra copy in case my DVD runs out from to much wear. Hopefully itâll be in blu ray too
