The Melbourne Demons: Kings of the MCG or Perennial Punchline? Unveiling Their Premiership Prowess
Ah, the Melbourne Football Club.

But fear not, Dee faithful, for beneath the surface of recent mediocrity lies a heart of a champion! Today, we delve into the murky depths of Melbourne's Grand Final appearances, separating fact from fiction and maybe even unearthing a hidden gem or two.

The Early Bird Gets theworm...Premiership
Let's rewind the clock to the sepia-toned days of the sport's infancy. Back then, Melbourne were the undisputed kings of the MCG. They were like the Beyonce of the Australian Football League (AFL), dominating the early years with a whopping 13 VFL/AFL premierships under their belt. That's right, 13! Take that, Collingwood (we see you rolling your eyes!).
The Middle Years: A Bit of a Tumbleweed Situation
Now, things get a bit...complicated. Let's just say the premiership well ran a bit dry for the Dees. Like, really dry. Imagine a cracked desert instead of a flowing premiership river. There were some close calls, some valiant efforts, but that elusive premiership cup remained frustratingly out of reach.
The Light at the End of the Tunnel (or Maybe Just a Faint Flicker)
Hold on, Melbourne fans! Don't despair just yet! The tides (or should we say the Sherrin?) may finally be turning. In 2021, Melbourne defied the odds and snagged their long-awaited 13th premiership! Scenes of jubilation erupted across Melbourne, with fans (probably) dusting off their old Dees scarves and rediscovering their forgotten chants.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
So, How Many Grand Finals Has Melbourne Won?
The grand total? A respectable 13! Not too shabby, Melbourne, not too shabby at all. Now, if you can just translate that historical dominance into consistent modern-day success, that would be fantastic.
But hey, at least you've got bragging rights over, well, most other teams!
