    Hi All, a big thank you to the members who helped me get into the grand final. It was a great experience. Here’s a link to a few photos from the week and yesterday https://photos.app.goo.gl/dL5kAG4LNFKRqqfY6

    My birthday was Friday and what a birthday it was.

    Today I have been playing the theme song over the audio at our church 

    Thanks for sharing Johnno.
    Looks like u had an awesome time and given the result I’m not surprised. Happy birthday for last Friday. Saturday will be the best present u will ever get. 

    I still can’t believe we are PREMIERS. 🏆🥇

    Not trying to put a damper on things but there's been a lot of talk of dynasties which i think is premature and presumptuous. Not saying we can’t win more than one, far from it, but there are plenty of reasons why we might not

    • We won’t have the same luck with injuries
    • Other teams will be stronger. The doggies aren’t far off, Richmond have one more crack left in the tank, even GWS if they can get their players on the park will be a threat
    • We will be the hunted next year
    • And most importantly, will these players be prepared to put in the hard yards again of will they be satisfied with just the one pennant. Will the hunger and desire still be there when they return for preseason?

    There is one big motivator that can really spur this group on next year and that is winning one in front of the faithful. It’s been great for our Perth brethren, I couldn’t be happier for them, but I’ve felt a little removed, distant from this win. I would love to experience a grand final win and belt out A Grand Old Flag at the ‘G

    I reckon we are massive chance to have success in the next 5 years. Our list is so young and talented. We have belief and strong culture. Hunger will not drop off yet as they have just had a taste.  All our best players are signed up for years to come.

    Who is our main challengers?  The Cats are on the decline. Tigers and Port maybe have one more chance to have a crack.

    Brisbane, Dogs, WC, Sydney are the main challengers but we will be raging favs going into next season.

    Too early to get carried away but why not!!?

    All it took to win a flag was to put a woman in charge. Typical.

    Curse done superstitions gone (except in the 3rd I remembered I didnt have socks on in the geelong win so they came off and have now been binned, made all the difference apart from our mids, jacko and Fritta).

    I am just so thrilled for all our supporters especially those on demonland. 

    Wow just wow.

    I [censored] you not...

    In the 1st Qrt I was sitting off the front of the couch, nervously leaning forward

    In the 2nd Qrt I sat back in the couch leaned back and enjoyed a beer in a bit more comfort, then thinhs started to get out of hand

    In the 3rd Qrt I remained sitting back, until the 1st goal, then I noticed what I'd done, so resumed the forward leaning squat at the front of the couch. Brayshaw made a couple of crucial contests, we regained composure, and despite Bont's goal we looked steadier, and I felt more confident. The rest is history

    .... you're welcome everyone ❤💙

    My head nearly exploded. 

    In years to come I will remember round 23 and tge grand final as a package almost.

    It all felt it was destined.

    Totally agree, Gawn’s kick was incredibly significant in multiple ways.

    We’ll keep it going even if we run out of things to say WCW, the drive home from work on the Western Ring this arvo was stress free. That’s all I got for now.EE3030CD-6E65-4011-AA0D-152D10E0327C.thumb.jpeg.4f771d878584fc39d56c70d69b6ffea0.jpeg

    Well, Jesus. This makes it tough. R57 has first dibs on the gold, but can we give you the consolation prize of the Gary Ayres award for second best superstition?

    I did wonder last night whether the collision with the goal post rattled Weightman. Seemed to hit his head on the post and then on the ground. Coming back from a concussion that can't have been good. Not taking anything away from Rivers or Bowey, thought they were both super

    To me Weightmen was laughing and jumping around pre game , was way to over confident I thought , my gut told me the rookie was going to cop a hiding, especially in retrospect when u hear the story of May telling track not to smile with 7 minutes left in the game

    GWS, Essendon and Carlton will improve next year. GWS are the ones though.

    According to my watch I clocked up 6000 steps during the game. And about 100 liters of alcohol after.

    A quick shout out to Ross Lyon  - [censored] goose.  No wonder he didn't get the Carlton job when he had no idea about who the best team actually was.  Couldn’t say a good word about the demons and couldn’t get off the bullies.  When someone says ‘touch up in the west’ he doesn't think of the 2021 GF, just a hush payment he had to make because he is a complete tool.

    Random comments.

    Spot on re Lyon. Dreadful individual.

    Macguire also tipped against Melbourne. Reason ... he hates Melbourne. Suck on a big bag Triplechins!!!

    I'm not  a fan of Garry Lyon either, but I thought he conducted himself really well on GF day  ...  in presenting the Cup, and his post match interviews. Well done sir.

    Some people said that seeing your team win a flag can be an anti climax. Not the case with me.

    I hate that Bulldogs player Hunter. He should hone his driving skills rather than developing expertise in staging for free kicks.

    How long should I leave Demons stuff on my front window-  scarves/streamers/posters ? Is a month too long?

    Agree.  well the bombers might just stagnate, they overachieved last year.  Freo should improve too if they can stay fairly injury free

    Could also see the Saints re bounding hard

    although only GWS are in the frame for the flag of these 5 teams imo

    • 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.

      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?
