The Next Decade; Would you take this if it happened?


Bobby McKenzie

Recommended Posts

After a footy card game with the kids, I shuffled the pack of cards( each AFL team had 4 cards)and dealt out 10 cards which was to determine the premiers for the next 10 years.

Here's what happened.

2012 Premiers HAWTHORN ( Good chance I would reckon)

2013 COLLINGWOOD( Good chance as well)

2014 MELBOURNE( Hopefully, a distinct possibility)

2015 ADELAIDE ( Maybe it could happen)

2016 MELBOURNE( Don't know what happened in 2015)

2017 WEST COAST

2018 COLLINGWOOD( Again! Grr, stupid cards)

2019 FREMANTLE ( May happen eventually)

2020 RICHMOND( Its been a long time coming Tigers!)

2021 NORTH MELBOURNE ( As above).

So there you are as the cards call it. Would you take it? I certainly would.

In a Nonosecond ! 2014 and then 2016 - that's getting into that dynasty area ! 2015 was obviously a Premiership hangover - nice problem to have !

I'm not greedy.

I'll take one, followed by another and another and................another.

I saw 1959, 1960 & 1964 all whilst at school.

I haven't seen one since I started working.

I have now retired so bring it on.

Maybe you need cards with the Suns, and GWS in them

No, it wouldn't be right for them to be winning a premiership in their first 10 years. Let them wait their turn just like us and the Bulldogs. BTW, I made another shuffle of the remaining cards and the Demons are due again for yet another premiership in 2023! That's 3 in 15 years. Won't deal out any more as there is only ONE Demon left in the pack.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
