    The clubs get to suggest to the AFL someone present the cup if we win.

    It has to be someone already in WA.  Fox's ideas.

    • Garry Lyon - club great
    • Shane Woewodin - 2000 Brownlow medallist; played in our last GF.
    • Ken Melville 1953 Bluey winner.  played in 1955 and 1956 premierships
    • Adam Yze - played in our last GF
    • Glen Bartlett - immediate past President
    • Kate  Roffey - current President

    On premiership credentials Ken Melville would get the nod.  He is 90 and if able I think is the one.

    Otherwise Garry would be my choice.   

    My dream was for Barassi - legend without peer and last MFC captain to raise the cup.

    Failing that, I'm a huge fan of connection between current success and the rich premiership history of our great club, so to have a premiership winning past player such as Ken Melville present the cup would be fantastic.

    Woewodin would have an interesting contemporary slant - certainly his 2000 Brownlow and having played in our most recent past Grand Final provide relevance, but what an amazing recompense such a gesture would make given the ungainly manner his exit from the club was handled, and then there's the prospect of us possibly drafting his son Taj via father-son...?

    If the Dogs get up, is Brad Hardie going to present the cup? 😉

    In the perfect world, outside Barass, I would like David Neitz to do it, he represented our modern struggle and is our leading game player. (Much like Richo doing it for the Tigers in 2017)

    But Lyon, despite his foibles, was one of our finest players and captains and is the obvious and worthy choice.

    Gazza will more than likely do it.

    Remote outside chances: Darren Kowel or Earl Spalding

    Would love to have Tulip or Jimmy as options, but alas.... RIP.

    Got to win it first, though!

    Have Max present it to himself. The only bloke in the comp that could pull that off.

    On the off chance that Nathan Jones is still there, he would be the most worthy and deserving of the honour.

    Honestly if we win I wouldn't care, it could be Donald Duck and I'd still be cheering mad...  Most likely Garry Lyon since he is here in the west and the most high profile.  There are a few of the old premiership players living in WA but they aren the most famous :)

    Gaz easily. It would be great to see one former captain give it to the current one.

    A shame it can't be in Melbourne because barrassi would have been 1st choice

    The petition to allow Neale Daniher into WA to present the cup was ridiculous. The organisers failed to ask Neale whether he would actually want to do that. And, in fact, he said that he didn't.

    Huge tick for this idea Queanbetan.

    It won't happen of course but it would be an event and television for the ages.

    Daisy Pearce is over there commentating I reckon she is an outside chance.

    Everytime I read this thread someone has come up with nothing short of another brilliant idea.

    Daisy and Garry?

    Really Great and all that Daisy is comparing her contribution to Melb at this stage it would be an insult to Neiter  Stynes Todd V Schwartz and many others Hassan Mann included.

    Glen Bartlett is already in WA also.

    Let Daisy shine in the AFLW at this stage please and maybe play in a flag this year. 
    I also include her role in propelling W footy greatly but plenty in AFL have deserved this honour prior to our much loved No 1 AFlW star.

    Rob, Nathan has flown back to Melbourne already, to be with his partner who’s about to give birth to twins.

    The lack of respect to Garry Lyon as a past Captain on here always astounded me. 
    Maybe a lot of you didn’t see him play. 
    The bloke was a deadset legend in a very tough and violent era

    If he presents the cup to Max and the team, good luck to him. He was the Captain during all the merger [censored]

    I knew someone would reply accordingly.  It was about the principle rather than an afl/aflw issue.

    Can people stop saying Glen Bartlett.

    That would be a complete insult to Simon Goodwin.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
