When did the tears start watching the grand final?
Waiting 57 years. Most of the second half I was a bit confused, almost disoriented - as in not the Melbourne I know. I felt sick in 3rd Q cos we couldnāt shoo the Dogs away. Feared it would go down to the wire and Hannan wouldā¦ sometimes with the goals, it was like another universe - I was not sure if I was watching an instant replay or it was another goal. Watching alone and I think it was ANB goal 42 points, all the text messages started coming in. I didnāt believe it until 62 points. Dogga. This is Melbourne

Closest to the mark...2022 membership total
The majority of MCC members are not Melbourne supporters Melbourne would have most supporters. I wonder if Bulldog and supporters of other clubs are getting the couple of pro Demon emails from MCC?

No more apologising
Consign all mention of 1964, black and white TV, Beatles, Bob Menzies, EH Holdens and shillings to history books. sure Sparrow and Bowey are across it. Their time is next decade. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.

Ranking your favourite goals of all time
Goal scoring blitzes and comparisons with older games eg 1972 GF are irrelevant I was there in sixties and seventies. No one knew about zone defence or patterns or any of those extra features. Coaches drill all their players today in manoeuvres and plays to stem the tide. Tsunami - no hope.

Ranking your favourite goals of all time
I was at Vic Park that day with about 100 other Dees. Our last ever match there BTW. Only kicked 2 goals in last Q, both in time on. Chopper and Sean Wight. Won by 9 points. But if I had to take one goal to my grave - Vineyās toe poke to Luke Jackson and running handball to Clarrie at full pace.

How many goals did Fritter get for the year IN THE END? Pretty sure it was one more than Coleman Medal winner McKay couldnt be bothered looking up Tomahawkās finals campaign š¤®- 3 goals in 32 seconds - the quickest 3 goals ever?
Bang Bang Bang. Former poster texted me ātwo chest shots and one to the headā Cop that- Thank You Paul Roos and Peter Jackson
Started supporting half way through 1965. Lived with last round 1976 and the Footscray Carlton draw. UK for 1987 then lived through 5 minutes of sunshine under Swoop, Balmey and Rev. Felt for the tragedies and early passings that have been well documented. Allegations of tanking - was at Jordie MCMahon game. Also 186, in Geelong Membersā Stand. Watched as the Neeld horror show unfolded - a loss less than 100 was ābreak evenā. Subsequently watched from home in Vietnam and in Covid, saw 5 games at MCG this year. Never in dreams when PJ and Roos come on board did I think weād be live for the finals 64 games later in 2015. Carlton thumped us. For 2019 didnāt even have us in the eight. Dream scenario wouldāve been to win one final. Thx PJ, Paul Roos- Is your life complete now?
Night time or interstate Grannies - donāt support them. Happy to still take them if we keep winning them- Is your life complete now?
