To the whole team and club - well done and my sincerest thanks for a season that is barely believable.

Still in shock, but very happy and tears shed.

Not a Melbourne supporter but I was pleased to see them win.

Didn't know you were a Melb Supporter Gav. I am also one a long suffering supporter.

Lots of celebration at my place. Just disappointed that I was unable to go.

Apart from last year, I have been to every grand final since 1999.

When the Bont kicked that goal half way through the third quarter, my son and I both agreed, with a lot of disappointment, that it was all over.

To then turn around and kick 11 of the last 12 goals of the game and win by 74 points was just amazing.

This is a fairly young side, so here is hoping that we might be able to snare a couple more in the coming years.

I will be watching the second half of this match many times, starting in the morning.

Probably not as bigger fan as you are mate, but I’ve been following this season more closely than I normally would with the start to the year they had - mainly thinking ‘when will they cock this up’ 😇

I was also thinking that if it had been at the G that you’d have seen it all live - hopefully there’s a repeat performance next year and you’ll be there for that one. 👍👍👍

Yep many time during the year I was waiting for the cock up. Games that we should have won with top spot on the ladder up for grabs and we lose it.

As for the drought being broken, I am hoping for a flood.

I have watched the 2nd half twice yesterday, one at home and when I went to the pub yesterday the second half had just started on their telly.

And just before typing this post finished watching the whole game again.

I think the reason you watched the game so many times is not the win by Melbourne but more of you being attracted by the eye candy that is voted the most beautiful stadium in the world

Natural turf for the Optus Stadium

(Also voted the best stadium in the country)

Settle down Gav. The whole stadium would fit in the MCC Long Room!

Maybe it would
But you could put Victoria into Western Australia 10 times

Why on earth would you want to do that?
