3-4 weeks out from the Grand Final, all clubs that are still in contention need to nominate who will present the Premiership Cup to the captain should their club be Premiers.

Which club champion do you think deserves to present the cup to Jones and Viney should we be fortunate enough to be on the dais in a couple of weeks?

    I wouldn’t mind if Roos was on the list as well..?

    Ron Barassi from the list above but I wouldn’t mind Paul Roos because if we do get up it will basically be a direct result of Roosy’s foundations.

    RDB is the obvious but I was thinking the other day Danners would be a great option. Maybe one can do this year, one next year? :laugh:

    Was RDB rolled out in 1988(?) and 2000..?

    RDB is the only choice.

    Barassi easily.

    If you can have two presenting then Daniher as well, but the reality is we don’t know when we’d get another one or indeed how much longer Barass will be around himself.

    Would the AFL allow us to have two? I can already hear the whinging.

    ND and RDB??

    RP,  you're as likely to know the answer to this than most on here, but when was the last time a past coach given this honour, and not a past player?

    Just curious to know as I have no idea and could either make a case for or against ND doing it.

    Can Clayton Oliver play and present the cup? 

    He'll be too busy presenting himself the Norm Smith.

    Didnt Garry Lyon want nothing to do with us in the dark years?

    I'm sure I heard Garry say last week he regrets getting involved but wanted to help Jim, difficult situation.

    I voted Daniher as I grew up with him as our coach and his love and passion for the club kept it afloat during some hard times.

    No slight on Barassi, but as a 36yo, my only first hand experience of him is as the coach of Sydney.

    I honestly couldn’t care less tbh- everyone on the list above is worthy and I just want the damn cup!

    These things often don't go to script. The most obvious choice in my opinion would be Barassi. However I can see someone like Neita doing it. 

    In 2005 when the Swans won I could have sworn Bob Skilton was going to do it but they went with Paul Kelly.

    This appears to be a very decisive subject. In order to keep harmony in the club and on demonland, I'll selflessly volunteer to do it myself.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
