Time to reverse the narrative and ditch the negativity. Only positive vibrations from now on. 

How good would Back 2 Back at the G be?

Set the standard Max

Not sure about veils, but they come in glasses form (with a lovely rose tint to boot).

Missed your post. Kudos to you.

Bet on Melbourne premiership into Adelaide making the 8. Burgess can transform teams, Adelaide will be good next year. We will still be the best.

I was thinking this about Adelaide yesterday, I'd be surprised if they don't improve massively.

2023 they will make the big jump. Next Season they will play some good games

You're probably right, they're coming from a fair way back. Carlton are another that I wouldn't be surprised to see bounce back in a big way next year.

Anyway, back on topic - hell yes we'll be winning again in 2022!!!


Forget back to back. 

I'm already thinking about where to hang my 4peat memorabilia. 

I am going to enjoy the ride. 

After pining for the Dees to be premiership contenders it all crystallised and came to fruition in the space of three months.

This is going to be fun. 

Nervous, unbearable fun.

Yep. Funny how our whole lives it’s been: building, building, WHOOPS, building, building, WHOOPS, building building… up until 2018 on: building, WHOOPS, building, builOMG WE’RE HERE ALL OF A SUDDEN. 

I’ve honestly got no idea what my expectations are for the next few years, but it will be the first time we go in to a season KNOWING we’ve got the ingredients for success. Scary new territory, but I’m up for it.


The humble part of me thinks just 1 more Premiership at the MCG would be nice. Just so I can experience a Premiership at the MCG with my Dad.

The greedy part of me think we need at least 5 more Premierships for the 5 decades that we missed out! Let's over take Carlton and Essendon with their 16 Premierships!

Realistically, with the youth and talent in our team another 2 or 3 Premierships are possible.

We will have to wait and see how hungry the Demons players are for more success I guess?

 

Now I'm nervous again

I see back to back as realistic. No doubt it will be extremely difficult, historically backing up a a granny has been rare. On our side though, is that success has become increasingly cyclic (Brisbane, Cats, Hawthorn, Tigers). We are in the sweet spot now and have a real tail wind. We need to be absolutely relentless in our preparation and drive because others will have watched that finals series and be coming for us with a plan. We need to be better than last year, but with around 7 players in the best 22 at age 21 and below we can reasonably expect improvement even without considering drafting or trading.

 

If they dont get sucked into the hype, this team have the opportunity to back it up.  Other teams have to improve significantly to challenge us at our best.  They will be trying that in the off season, we have to just keep executing better and better a system and culture that has many successes still in it.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • VOTES: Richmond

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
