I would be curious to know Brock McLean's thoughts on the Demons winning the 2021 Premiership. I suspect still a lot of bad blood there.....

Mark "Jacko" Jackson's would be quite bemusing to know about too. He was definitely popular with Demons fans in the early 1980s apparently, but whether or not he cares about us anymore I would be surprised.

Actually the two people I would really like to hear their thoughts on about the Demons winning the 2021 flag would be David Neitz and David Schwarz. I bet they had tears of joys in their eyes just like the rest of us!

The former Demons coach John "Swooper" Northey would be over the moon too! Glad he is still around!

 

I think Brock has had battles of his own during and after football. I get the feeling he has detached from the sport for the most part.

Jacko has gone on the record saying he thinks the AFL is as dry as dust with no showmen, thus he doesn't even watch it. He also said during his infamous interview with Mike Sheehan that we had no guts, made comments intimating we were all a bunch of toffs, we were going nowhere and would never win another flag. I doubt he would be happy for us, but even if he was, he can piddle off. I have no time for the bloke whatsoever (and its not just about his hating on us either).

Swoop is a bloke who I think has divided loyalties in the best possible sense. He played in premierships at Richmond, but was with us for 7 full seasons as well. I saw him once on the train back to Ballarat after a match with his Demons tie on so there is definitely love still there. 

Ox is as passionate a Demon as you will find, as is Neita. I need say no more.

I had a chat to Crackers at my local (Torquay) some years ago. Definitely no love for Melbourne.

Likewise for Gerard, although not to the same extent.
