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

Let’s hope 2022 is better than last year 🏆

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. 
Norm is at Peace now

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*

GO DEES GO

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.
