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

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.

Let’s hope 2022 is better than last year 🏆

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.

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.

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! 😊

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
