Chook

Imagine this flag with Nev and Jones in the side. I don't think I could have contained myself, and that says it all. I thought Wrecker was great, but peak Nev was the best small defender in my time.

Sometimes it's nice to have the certainty. Vanders can now celebrate as close as he'll ever get to being a premiership player knowing everything. There's positives in that, and what a player he was for us especially in that defining 2018 run to the Prelim. It all adds up to where we are now.

Nibbler's preparation is elite.

This mindset gets you this result:

Never seen a man more determined.

The other great thing about watching Melbourne win that long long awaited premiership is all the scars it heals. 186 can't hurt us now. Those decades of failure are stepping stones to this day. It's all a balm now. Also, I can go back and watch all those classic grand finals without any sense of poison that I've felt when Sydney, West Coast, Geelong, Hawthorn, and even the Doggies got up and won the flag. We've done it!

Great call. He had the absolute eye of the tiger at that point, and knew he would be the one to win us the match. What a legendary performance.

The best thing about history is it's not all behind you. Here's to many many more my demon friends!

MFCSS got me in the end. I won't lie. In the early parts of that 3rd quarter I thought we'd run our race. We were flat, and had nothing left. I was wrong.

I'll take it. Thanks Fritta!

64 points. I don't even want to win by more.

I love you all.

Luke Jackson for the Norm? The game changer in the ruck!!!

I love you ben brown. I love this club.

I'll put my hand up. MFCSS got me at the end. FUMFCSS.

Pretty emotional right now. What a ridiculous last ten minutes from the Demons. It's all ahead of us. Oh my god it's real.

We look spent. We won't win from here. Such a shame. The quest continues...

Worst possible result this quarter. We all see what might be coming: Melbourne crumbles under the pressure. Bulldogs stick it up em one more time. This is not going to be easy. Please show something in the 2nd half Demons. Please let us get there!

So much time to go, but I'll be lying if that's not the way I though it might go if Melbourne brought its game. 1 down, 3 to go.

Hibberd. My man!

Trac is on an absolute mission this evening.

Couldn't ask for anything more right now. Dogs will have to do something special to beat us. Long way to go though.

Maxxy wins!!!!
