The one thing I cannot cop tomorrow night is being intimidated physically. 2000 has never sat well and I'm sick of moments where for whatever reason we didn't back guys up. We must not let them walk over us.

Can I say that this "layzie" poster can speak for me for the foreseeable future.....

    I would personally be disgusted if our team instigated or planned to take players out of the game to win dirty. 

    Leave that crap to the Hawks, Bombers etc clubs. No-one has forgotten the acts of Wallis and Long in 2000 and I would not want that kind of cloud having over a premiership win for us.

    Play hard, play on the edge, but play fair

    I know both teams will be out to intimidate their opponents today . It is football and a GF . Win at all costs .Not many agree with me that Michael Longs career was tarnished by trying to kill Simmonds in 2000 . Other than MFC supporters who remembers Wallis .

    Both coaching groups would have spent 2 weeks trying to work out who to target , its their job . I would always target the captain when I played . Focus on the leaders and their weak links . It works in war and today is war . Both teams will be expecting it .The team that will win will be looking forward to it more than the other .

    Both teams will not cross the line imo . They will intimidate buy attacking the ball first and applying pressure second . Both teams will stick up for their mates . Both teams should be operating right at the line .

    As we saw in 2000 the statement needs to be made right from the outset .

    I believe the Dees will win because our spirit and team culture is superior .

    All I ask is that they play like Sean Wight - hard, fair, and ferocious.

    Alistair "Sleepy" Lynch was allowed to take steroids during his last season at the Lions then go psycho throwing hooks and uppercuts during the game. 

    The exemption for steroid use was that he claimed to have CFS. What a crock.

    There is a major flaw in the game-no sin bin.

    And not one punch landed LOL

    And guess what.... You win premierships!.I know what corner I'm in!

    I believe that player caught deliberately punching players in a Grand Final should be Red carded in the game and the team cannot replace the player and will be subjected to a 12 month ban from the game.

    A Youtube rabbit hole led me to the 1992 GF last night, and the first 15 minutes especially from Gary Ablett were unlike anything you could possibly see these days in terms of illegal hits.

    Not sure how a modern team would respond to that, and I could see it winning a flag out of the blue (with major controversy coming from it).

    I think a player or team will go full 1990s one year and cause a red card or something similar to have to come into play in future years.

    I think the scar visible on Gary Lyon's chin is a result of a behind-the-play elbow from that animal, Ablett.

    Lyon was holding Ablett almost kickless that day on the MCG, till Ablett did a "Matthews", and knocked him out  when the ball was 100 metres away.

    Pure Demon magic. Long may it continue. Kudos to the 23 players involved.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
