I wonder if there is anyone who we drafted at pick 1 years ago, who did the dirty on us and never won a flag at his next two clubs, who is thinking "what if".  Karma indeed.

That kid did the right thing, if he stayed he would have never been paided more then $ $450,000 a season, he was never any better then a role player.

Pity Jazza was not around to see the Dees win in 2021.

You know better than that Redleg. There is only one way to 'rail' this thread, and that is getting dangerously close!

Nice work, Daisycutter. There have been times this year where people were using this thread to discuss football matters and it was seriously derailing from the original esteemed purpose.

Premiership Bananas. The way it should be.

[Redleg 38,433]

He’s back, having grown about 21 cms and pretending to be a 2022 draft possibility, playing in South Australia with West Adelaide.

Will be drafted next year, ensuring the thread continues for another 10-15 years.

How ironic if we draft him again.

Tom S****y

West Adelaide/SA

Ruck/key forward, 201cm, 83kg

Tom S***** is yet another tall prospect from West Adelaide to watch. He worked alongside Barnett in the ruck, but the strong-marking teenager proved a strong target in attack this year, booting 23.10 in 10 matches. Highlighting his potential, S*****, in just the second under-18 match of his career, tallied 18 disposals, 12 contested possessions, four hitouts-to-advantage, two contested marks, two goals and 135 ranking points.

C'mon dc - a borewoodian with your influence on this thread should be able to get a name from Redleg.

For some reason I am thinking a genetically engineered banana.

Think I will stay out of this thread.

It's a huge question dc . We are talking something akin to the meaning of life here.  But then again.... he's a lawyer ...... so who knows what to expect.

Except the bill of course.

So we are not talking about Hogan? Not sure where he is now but I am sure he would have wanted to be a Demon in 2021!

Life takes us in different directions and hopefully Jesse is happy at GWS, but he must have watched the GF with a lot of “what if” thoughts.

No I wasn’t talking about Jesse, Maurisey got it in his post above.

Hiw are the lily pads in WA Froggy?

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club.

I must have watched the Grand final onslaught at least 57 times and it keeps getting better. I still find it hard to believe the Dees won.

My rehab is going slow after the stroke and it taking much longer then I hoped to get full functionality back to my right side. Fatigue is still an issue. But on a lighter note WA is opening up on the 5 February 2022.

I am hoping 2022 is again the year of the Demons, as only one Grand final win in the past 57 years is not enough. Plus the winning feeling is intoxicating. GO THE DEES! 
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

Froggy I was unaware you were unwell.

Please accept my apology and I hope you are on the mend soon. The lily pad will not be the same without your contributions.

I hope the flag is helping you mend and watching the replay is not hindering your exercise.

All the best for a safe and happy xmas and new year, regards from your mate on the other side of the pond, Redleg.

Thank you Red.

Watching the Grand final was great except the second and beginning of the third quarter’s. l am much more emotional since my stroke and was thinking around this time “here we go again”. But that was before the beginning of the onslaught!

Finally, I can watch the Dees win a Grand final on YouTube LOL.

Unfortunately, there is another regular poster that have a greater loss than me. So my deepest sympathy go our to them.

As a Prime Minister once said “life is not meant to be easy”. But sometimes it can be really unfair.

If the Dees can win three of the next five AFL Grand finals, we all should feel a little better.

I hope you guys, and everyone else on here, actually hang on well beyond the due date for that (last day of September, 2025), but a 4peat would put the C'ood'nt's record to the sword...well, to the dagger at least. If they'd played 1930 under the current, longstanding grand final arrangements, Geelong would have been premiers. So, a pure, 21st century, 4peat will trump the dodgy early 20th century one!

I read this on their wiki page.

😄Yep, we've got to take any and all opportunities to remind them of 2021!

However, a misunderstanding methinks, M. Frog? Geelong would have been 1930 premiers under the current system. They beat C'ood'nt in the first grand final but the C'ood'nts challenged as minor premiers and won the challenge.

froggy, the older "argus" finals system was quite weird
