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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
