The Melbourne Demons: Kings (and sometimes Queens) of the Grand Final!
Ah, the Melbourne Football Club, also affectionately known as the mighty Dees. A team steeped in history, a passionate fanbase (they'd argue the most passionate), and a trophy cabinet overflowing with... well, not cobwebs exactly, but it can feel a little dusty at times.
But fear not, fellow footy fanatic! Because when it comes to Grand Finals, the Dees have actually done alright for themselves. They might not be the reigning champs every year (looking at you, Richmond!), but they've certainly had their moments of glory.

| How Many Afl Grand Finals Have Melbourne Won |
So, how many Grand Finals have Melbourne actually won?
Drumroll please... The Melbourne Demons have triumphed in a whopping 13 VFL/AFL Grand Finals! That's right, 13! Not too shabby for a team that some might consider the perennial bridesmaid (though they'd definitely disagree... loudly).
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Now, those 13 wins are spread out over a fair chunk of footy history. They absolutely dominated the early years, racking up three premierships in a row during World War II (talk about a welcome distraction!). Then there was that incredible run in the 50s, where they played in a record-breaking seven consecutive Grand Finals – winning five of them, no less!
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.

But what about recent years? Have the Dees forgotten how to win the big one?
Not at all! The 2021 Grand Final saw them demolish the Western Bulldogs, proving they can still bring the heat when it matters most. Maybe they just like to keep their fans on their toes with a bit of a rollercoaster ride throughout the season!
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
So there you have it!
The Melbourne Football Club might not be the most consistent Grand Final winner, but with 13 victories under their belt, they're definitely a force to be reckoned with. Here's to hoping they add a few more to the collection in the years to come (and maybe avoid giving their supporters heart attacks in the process).
