    I think Caleb Daniel is a very good smart player............... However, watch Jake Bowey overtake him and become much, much better!

    Daniel handed over the baton in the GF.

    “That bloke.” The Dees guy in the crowd. He epitomised pretty much every Demons fan at that moment in time. 

    Has anyone identified “that bloke” or has he self identified?

    Such a iconic reflection of what so many of us felt at the time. 
     

    Congratulations whoever you are.  We all love you and woukd love to see you at a game  

    Are you a Demonlander?

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see “that bloke” on The Front Bar. That’s the kind of thing they do. On their first show of 2019 they had a guy on (Collingwood supporter) who was in the front row at the 2018 GF. He was only on camera for half the time as our guy. 🤔 Methinks an email or 1000 might be in order.

    Soon after the Grand Final I changed my computer password to celebrate the magnificent drought-breaking Premiership. Since then, whenever it’s time to update a password I create another one in honour of our team. Have any other Demonlanders done that too?

    As I posted near the time, waaaaaaay back, somewhere, the mannerism of the hand and the finger at the neck was a hint of a 'disability', and the other bloke a caring brother or some such. The 'age' of the reaction didn't seem to align with the 'age' of the person.

    Regardless, it was an iconic moment, speaking volumes for us all, whatever our emotional or physical ages. Thank you, sir.

    I’ve been doing this since that glorious day in September. Mostly I choose Premiers2021or if a punctuation mark is required I’ll go Premiers!2021. 
    btw, I can disclose my password with gay abandon since no one can steal what ain’t there. And I gotta lotta “ain’t there” 😆

    I drove past Whitten Oval yesterday (I'm only about a 10 minute drive away), would it be cheeky to drape Ted Whitten in a Demons scarf just before round 1?

    The 3/4 siren couldn’t come soon enough for the dogs. Not that it helped at all. Just meant a seven-minute break from the pain and humiliation of a hiding. 😁

    The Bulldogs mother in that footage was hot - to the right of the picture. Her daughter, I suspect, is to the left.

    And straight from the “it seemed like a good idea at the time” files… how silly would the group of Bailey Smith wig-wearers feel? Group dress-ups such as that are fine, but only if your team’s NOT copping a thumping of biblical proportions in a Grand Final. 😁

    Google.

    If the Demons win the grand final with the same team that defeated Brisbane in last week's qualifying final, only Collingwood (2010), Essendon (1993), the Western Bulldogs (2016) and West Coast (1992) will have claimed a premiership with a younger group.

    Coach Simon Goodwin fielded a team with an average age of 24 years and 180 days at the Adelaide Oval against the Lions.

    The Magpies' flag 11 years ago remains the youngest of the modern-era, with Collingwood winning the 2010 grand final replay against St Kilda with a team boasting an average age of 24 years and 57 days.

    Side note.

    Only West coast won another with their list 2 seasons later.
    We're gonna have to show the league how it's done.

    Just checked. What are you talking about man? You can only see 20% of her face and certainly not hot. You need to get on red tube

    In 2018 I was very, very tempted to tie my beloved Dees scarf around Clarkson's fence( he lived opposite my parent's place) but didnt want to not get it back. It was funny to see him mowing his lawns a week after we kicked hawks out of the finals.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
