I was able to spend more time with the kids which has been a real silver lining. In all other respects its been a year to forget.

Hopefully the Dees can finally get their act together in 2021 and who knows maybe land that elusive flag.

    Sometimes fortune or misfortune is all in the eye of the beholder,  there are always two sides, sometimes more sides to every story.

    To me 2020 started off with very high hopes to complete a lot of personal stuff and to "move on".  Footy as well. Then Covid !

    Now we are back at square one for many of us, just a wasted year very little achieved for some.

    So I say as well 

    I hope your 2021 is much better,      for everyone.       Best wishes and better fortunes to us all.  Come on Dees !!

    Can we skip it and move to 2022

    The hardest thing  I find is to think positive about 2021 and I don't mean football. The world has change and I may never again see like it has been all of my life .

    I hear you brother.

    My 2020 started ok, but got progressively worse as the year went on.  Living in Brisbane, working in a professional role and for a company moderately impacted, COVID wasn't a big thing for me.  Missing finals was a 'very ordinary' way to end our, season, but was a pleasant experience compared to some of the personal hell I've been through over the past few months.

    Mate of mine suggested that instead of new years eve parties, everyone should have a f#@$ off 2020 party on Jan 1 and that sounds like a dam good idea to me.

    When you thought it couldn't get any ****tier than fires, floods and pestilence, 2020's final gift to me mid December, was a kidney stone.  As it turned out, that was a backhanded blessing, as the CT scans detected a growth on the kidney, so my 2021 will begin with a biopsy and then who knows what!  I'm with Diamond Jim... can we just skip forward to 2022.

    Yes OD, I'm expecting that is what will happen, but if I live another 30 years on one, I've just about hit the ton, so I'm not sure I want it to be quite that effective ?

    Thanks mate... I'm pretty certain it's something, just what it is, I'm not yet sure.  In the words of a former coach, "it is what it is". ?

    We both need our football club to fire up. Finals in 2021 would be a good start.

    Funnily enough, I'm quite confident that we will make finals (and possibly top 4) this year.  Still not quite so confident that we'll get to attend many games that involve regular sized crowds; I doubt we'll see normality return until a vaccine has been distributed to the 70% or 80% (I think it is) of the population (I think that is the point at which the risk is supposedly mitigated).

    You are more confident than me Hardtack. I doubt I will see a game live in 2021 because in spite of what the feds say I cannot see us getting the vaccine any time soon. But my objective this year is be alive at the end of it. We are in the kill zone and I am being super conservative about where I go in 2021 and crowds are off the list.

    I don’t have an excess of years so sadly I would prefer not to lose one DJ.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
