    It's the year that brought us more Covid, climate change problems, Trump and the protests in Washington, Putin's continuing belligerence, Xi's continuing belligerence, working and learning from home, Craig Kelly and Clive Palmer, protests and a Melbourne Premiership.

    So, all in all, a pretty good year*.

    Happy New Year to all. Let 2022 be a repeat of the Year of the Demons

     

    *Note: I appreciate that this has been a hard year for many. Please appreciate the tongue in cheek nature of this post.

     

    The 2022 flag will be better than 2021 :- lets make this club a powerhouse again! 

    This is only the beginning

    Back to Back ‘22

    Agreed. When was the last time we went back-back? 59&60…………….61 years.

    Time to fix that.

    Long as the attitude is right, these boys are too good for just one. 
    i am hoping they thrive on the challenge of being beaten for many years.

    Sorry to be pessimistic radar but  I have my doubts for different reasons, the only upside I can see on the first day of 2022 is another Dee's flag which is not to be sneezed at.

    Year of extreme emotions to say the least, thank god the Dees won otherwise I would have literally nothing positive to remember about 2021.

    In arguably the most challenging season ever for the AFL competition we were awesome. Could had been a season of attrition but we were head and shoulders above the rest of the competition. Richmond fans might say  2020 was tougher but it was a truncated abbreviated season and we could have won that one too if the season wasn’t shortened.

    Agree with a premiership at the MCG.

    The 2022 flag will be even better than the 2021flag if the above scenario happens.

    Being at the unfurling on March 16 will be great. Seeing Maxy lift the Cup on September 24 will top that.

    I ran in to Christian Salem today at JB HI FI and he was really happy that the boys could win a flag for the supporters and they will be going all out to win another this year. Really nice guy and he could probably see how emotional it was for me that they won the flag for us.

    Having read Captains Diary since Christmas, I am certain when Gawn's great classic book is properly and understandably made a compulsary text for VCE English students this next year, WJ's treatise will undoubtedly prove a great student resourse.

    And don't forget the distraction/relief/pleasure afforded by the weekly wins, and the attendant mounting anticipation stretching across the year along the way! 😊

    You forgot the other important and sad event.  The closing of Demonology. *sigh*

    That is one of the best off field highlights ever. The hyperactive assistant coach who is renowned for impulsiveness doesn't even react when it becomes clear we were storming towards the premiership.

    I can't get enough of watching that.

    Well said.  Tmac's career highlight - delivering the coup de Grace in a highly intelligent peice of shepherding.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
