Totally agree. See Sydney, Essendon, even Hawthorn games. Then Jake produced the offensive kick of the year to Max in round 23. Although maybe Harmes to Fritta tops it. BTW, has anyone else had the thought that the unarguable turning point of the Grannie, the Harmes steal, was number 4 to number 31 to turn the game, which by jumper number is Norm Smith to Ron Barassi!

Fremantle and Essendon are on the line of betting Melbourne were at the start of this Season.

And on the basis of all that, how great and important and sublime was Jake Lever’s kick to Max! The Kick That Won the Flag.

But of course, if we take Wines we probably don't finish exactly where we did that year, we improve more quickly and probably don't get in a position to take Petracca, Brayshaw and Oliver...

Looks like they fixed the little dings in the top lip as well…

Right, I get you. I thought OP meant current streak, but you are right.

Correct, but I took the question of "streak" as meaning consecutive wins without a loss...

It's currently 2. 2006 and 2018. We lost EFs in 2004 and 2005. Surely not the record holder. Prior to 2004 though I believe we'd never lost an Elimination Final.

I’ve been thinking about this. Not just coached, but each coached the next to a premiership. You could add Checker Hughes coached Norm Smith, who coached… Also suggests there’s a future premiership coach currently in our playing group. Any suggestions?

For St Kilda, the horror, the horror…

I was about to start a separate thread with similar photos: WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - 2021 PREMIERSHIP CUP

Remember when the narrative was a decade of rivalry between Melbourne and St Kilda given their young lists brimming with talent. Around 2006 EF time.

First thing is to get to 15 to catch Collingwood

Maxy didn't have his usual influence either, other than staying out of Jackson's way!

Remember when we only beat teams that had their star players out (Cameron, Dangerfield, Dunkley, McCrae)? Remember when we had a dysfunctional forward line? Remember when we "won't beat XXX next week on their own deck playing like that? Remember September 25, 2021.

Gawn in Sixty Seconds or the from-the-heart Brayshaw call - There We Are

Surely another long term benefit of all this is playing at that stadium is NEVER going to hold any fear for us from here.

Love, love, love this! @Jaded No More

With patience and faith we remain unafraid.

It comes down to this. To simply quote from Hamilton - They’ll tell the story of tonight.

If you have a digital TV or digi set top box like Foxtel IQ3 that the FTA signal comes through then yes you can pause and restart.

So this is what it feels like to be a Destination Club, even for those already here.

So, number 13 for the Norm Smith in our 13th premiership., to go with 57 years/Norm Smith aged 57?

It also hasn’t been called Jupiter’s since long before the monorail went 😉

Looking forward to Joeboy’s three word analysis of this one.
