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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
