To move on from the hate we have for other Demons developed over the last two decades; from Ridley to Gutnick to Mann to Schwab to Szondy to Gardner to The Next Scapegoat ©.

It saddens me to think that Ian Ridley could be hated by Demons fans. The proposed merger was not what Ian wanted, though as President he supported what the majority of the board voted in favour of.Apart from a long time friend (who sadly passed away 4 years ago)I think of Ian as an incredibly gifted footballer who in 130 games with the demons played in six grand finals, winning five of them. He then retired after severely damaging his knee.I think of the time he spent on the committee, not only as president, and the time that he was the senior coach. He was also a selector of the Victorian team and served on the tribunal. I think that the positives of Tiger far outweigh the negatives and that our club has benefited greatly from his contributions.

To put olisik on ignore come next years trade period so I don't have to read his 25,468 trade scenarios.

To only have realistic expectations for the team next year; 9th or better will be good enough.

To never forget Jim

I won't tell people that the flag is ours easily this year. Expectations will be lowered to a 2 pt prelim loss due to a shady umpiring decision.

I'm just not ever going to mention Jack Watts name in a sentence outside of this forum (always positive) as its just not worth the arguing.
