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.

    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.

    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.

    i'm stumped

    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.

    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!

    But Geelong is owned by Gawn!

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
