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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
