POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
The chorus was adapted in 2012 by Stevenage F.C. fans for winger Luke Freeman as: "Freeman's on fire, your right back is terrified!" Following that, in early 2016, Newcastle United supporters adapted the song for their striker Aleksandar Mitrović, the refrain being: "Mitro's on fire, your defence is terrified", which has also been used by fans of Fulham FC. However, Mitrović suffered poor form; the chant came into greater prominence in May of that year, as Wigan Athletic supporter Sean Kennedy uploaded on YouTube his version of "Freed from Desire" titled "Will Grigg's on Fire", in recognition of the recent goal-scoring feats of Will Grigg, a Wigan player. Since it was uploaded, the song has become a viral football chant. This version was recorded by dance producers Blonde under the alias DJ Kenno, and it reached No. 76 on the UK single chart. Fans from Northern Ireland also sang "Will Grigg's on Fire", notably during UEFA Euro 2016, as he played for Northern Ireland. Fans of Ireland, Wales, England, and France made their own versions of the song for their players, such as "Vardy's on Fire" and "Grizi's on Fire". It was later seen as the unofficial song of UEFA Euro 2016. "Freed from Desire" itself was used as the unofficial anthem for the Belgian team during the 2018 FIFA World Cup As you can see it gets around, even my local soccer club started playing this at club events in 2016, someone tell the Bulldogs you can't own a banger aha

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Think that's just Libba! That's the first I heard of that Gus sledge, no wonder there was some carry on. Glad we got the last laugh. But agreed, it will be good to have rival. I didn't like some of the class divide that people tried to build up in the lead to the GF.

Welcome to Demonland - Pick 17
"Essentially it means that, for 2021, the top-20 picks are a protected zone from NGA players. If a club picks them in that part of the draft, their NGA club has no ability to match a bid on them. But if they are bid beyond the top-20, they can join their NGA club if it chooses to match a bid."

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/10/05/the-rivalry-full-of-nastiness-developing-between-two-afl-teams/ A nothing article, but if true funny Dogs would be upset about us singing that they sung (which is already song in soccer and the darts etc)

Welcome to Demonland - Pick 17
"Among the other clubs to come forward for the Suns' pick 19, which they were officially granted last week as part of the AFL's concession package, is Melbourne" Wish they weren't granted it, but if we can grab it off them it will be ok in the end aha. Don't think Mac will be around by then, wonder who they have their eye on

Kade Chandler
This is how I feel on the matter, i like Chandler. Victim of lack of VFL due to COVID and also the form/lack of injuries to the small forwards this year. Would like him to stay another year, but understand if he searches senior footy.

Nev Jetta Joins the Magpies
Writing was on the wall with the pies, I am sure he will do wonders there. Hopefully a short sabbatical like Yze had!

- What’s your favourite GOAL from the Grand Final?

Welcome to Demonland: Luke Dunstan
Barring an injury crisis he'd have sporadic appearances but showed this year he can win the ball in the middle. If LD is happy as a bit part player the move makes sense to me given AVB/Jones won't be here. We can still draft a young inside mid but they may not be able to make an impact straight away so think we should look at ways of bringing LD in. In conclusion; Porque no los dos/why don't we have both

Big Ben Brown’s Wild Ride

MFC Strategic Plan for Next 4 Years
Bit of a bump. Still some question marks on Melbourne Home Base. But they've ticked off 1 AFL Premiership which will hopefully boost #2 #3 and #4

They've turned the lights on at the nightclub and we just want to keep partying

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.

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.

Adam Cerra
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.
