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..?

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
