Fork 'em

Well like me .... His whole life 😂

Buckle up man. If we don't win at least 2 more over the next few years I'll be very surprised. Monkey's off the back, the list is young, talented, hungry with no holes.

Yeah well. This club has taught me how to deal with disappointment over the years but when Bontempelli kicked his 3rd ..... I was sliding into a dark tunnel.

What ... Abracadabra?

Gotta say. Thank fork they did win. While riding the amazing high I think of the depths of despair I'd be in if they hadn't. After the season that was it woulda been real tough.

A week or so ago I needed to provide answers to questions for online verification. With my oldest daughter and wife peering over my shoulder I finally found a question on the list I liked. Q. What is the best moment of your adult life? "'Easy." A. Melbourne flag. "What !!! .... Not the birth of your children?" exclaimed the 1st born. I explained that I had been practically raised as a child at the MCG watching the Demons and have been hungering for that elusive Premiership my whole life. Marriage, kids, yadda, yadda were never that high on my priority list 😅 It has been a long hard road but now all my tears be washed away. Go the Mighty Demons.

I never enjoyed seeing a our captains over the years posing with a cup they never looked like getting near either. You gotta earn that right IMO.

I was. Was telling a bloke at work after the Prelim that I had never seen a more complete game from a Melbourne side .... Ever. He reckoned we might've played our Grand Final a week too early. "They won't play that well again." he declared. "They won't have to." I told him. Many said it'll be a close game as the Dogs had also easily won their Prelim. Yeah they did, but they didn't do it like we did. Also told any-one that come near me that we Melbourne supporters would be celebrating by 3/4 time. Drinking in the last quarter. Whenever I thought of the game in the 2 weeks lead up all I could see was Gawn, Oliver, Petracca and Jackson dominating the midfield blasting from the centre as they do. Couldn't see Naughton and Weightman kicking more than a couple goals each amongst our AA backline. And the dogs defence wouldn't stop our forward line fed by the mids. Our side had no holes .... None. Right down to the last player. Hats off to the dogs for their 2nd quarter tho'. They played well. That wasn't in the plan at all and if I said I wasn't spooked I'd be lying but in the end that just made the comeback and destruction that followed even more glorious than I thought it'd be. There is nothing better than watching your champions do exactly what you know they can do on the biggest stage of all. I waited a long time for that Premiership but won't have to wait long for the next one. Abit less than 11mths by my reckoning. Go the Mighty Demons.

Just got abit choked up watching this. Top of the Ladder. What a season. Forkin' legends.

Yeah man. Petracca and Gawns misses on the run from outside fiddy in the last qr of the GF still rankle.

Was talking to my sister recently who declared when watching the replay she started full sobbing crying for 5mins when Gawn won the toss 😂

I am the Greatest - Muhammad Ali

I'm with you man. This side will get that 4peat we missed in the 50's.

I hope there are no crowd restrictions and we turn the G into a sea of red and blue.

Very cool. Bring on Sparrow.

Thought in the 2weeks lead up the the GF Choco would have been doing his version of Micky getting in the ears of all the young blokes on the list. Also heard at half time when we were under the pump that Goodwin was his usual composed self when addressing the players. It was Choco who got in there and ripped a charge up 'em in no uncertain terms, told 'em what they weren't doing. Pressure, sticking tackles, smothers etc. All the 1% stuff that wins you GF's.

Have been meaning to post this as well. It was after Sparrow kicked his and the every-one went in the stadium went mad. Every-one but Williams. Been there done that, seen it all before. He's been around football clubs at the top levels his whole life. Knows what makes footballers tick and how to bring the best from them. Experience like his doesn't grow on trees.

Credit to the club for enabling Kozzie to have the time off and credit to Kozzie repaying that trust to come back fit.

I think we were rightly rewarded for playing exciting footy.

To me it was a non-event. If anything a sign of Gawns desperation when the game looked like getting away. Bumped his own head putting GF sized dollop of mayo on it. Not his best moment famously pointed out to him by Trac. Frittas 2 in a minute changed the game. Just freed us right up.

Reckon Daniel gets a rough trot here. Lets face it ..... Gawn dived. And Daniel probably just called him out on it rather than the stand over tough guy act it's portrayed as.

Demon Legend.

Could be another fizzer if the boys take up where they left off. And there's nothing to say they won't.

It'll be the Dogs still having nightmares about what happened to them GF day. We have no need to be frightened of any club.
