POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Enough of those peanuts for now. pretty sure the bench was Kozzie, Bowey, Dogga Sparrow (and JJ) when the siren went. Not sure if this was deliberate to let some older heads be on the pitch at the siren or if we are just that young.

Prediction: We will have won the most VFL / AFL premierships by the end of this decade.
Might be time to change your name.

Whoops, yes, just a minor mistake that completely changes the context of my post. CONDEMN!

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
It may be wishful thinking but would like the club to condone their actions (after the Court has made their decision). The players sacrificed and weren't able to have family/partners around to share the experience. Our fanbase dreamed of this moment and those in Melbourne/Sydney had to watch from their homes. They'll laugh off any pecuniary punishment, so wonder how tough the Courts will be about potential jail time.

Farewell Aaron vandenBerg
Guess he wants the chance to play more footy and knew he was deep in the queue with us. Hoping he gets picked up but also hope he never plays against The Dees/Casey. He's still a tackling beast.

Glad we asked the question at least. Still so much potential in young mids tho

Be proud to wear your Melbourne gear!
In the build up to the GF I often had a MFC beanie or jacket on, lots of people talked to me or gave me a "Go Dees". Would have been happy with a headnod and that's it.

I was a little worried Kalani might sway towards the GC Suns through the academy due to his mates etc, but have enjoyed watching the White family celebrations has put that on ease a little (for now), hopefully we have a good few years and it's an obvious choice for him.

Majak Dawn set to sign on for 2022.
Agreed, good cover and also seemed to be loving life as a Dee.

Could be a costly trip for these lads who went via Darwin

Hunt is up and about, feel sorry for him. Lovely seeing the fringe players/young brigade excited. Not much of a reaction from Vanders/Melky - playing it very cool in the older heads section aha

Thanks applied for this, but also uncertain how it'll look with the background.

Kozzie’s Shepherd
Tmac also involved early in this sequence too. Salem kicks out of defence to a Gawn/Keath contest and the ball goes over them both and Tmac is there for an easy mark. He then kicks it to Brown who can't quite grab it but gets the free for HTB with ~70 seconds left - Brown bombs it in and then the rest is history.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
It was definitely strange the way the finals unfolded. The club has been through so much struggle, and I always envisaged we'd break the drought with a tight victory. But we relatively cruised through the 3 finals with a 190 point combined winning margin. I was nervous and worried in the 3rd quarter of the GF but we just blew them away and I just let it all sink in. I always thought I'd cry happy tears but i did not, guess it may have been different if I was there.

Number 2
Thought about the concept of retiring numbers recently, but decided against it as I love watching Gawn running around in Jimmy's old number etc. It's a shame most of the MFC based awards are already coddled up to a name

The Next Captain
Here is a little Petracca interaction I had on social media in 2015- midway through the season only having won 4 games and been belted a few times. He was confident they'd get things right, it took a bit longer than expected but he always believed.
