Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 I was just wondering if there has been any news about who will be unfurling the 2021 AFL Premiership Flag for the Round 1 game against the Bulldogs at the MCG? Who will be unfurling the flag for the Melbourne Football Club? I'm assuming it will be Ron Barassi? Or perhaps Nathan Jones? Or even Neale Daniher? However, it is my view that the honour should go to Ron Barassi due to him missing out at the Premiership celebrations in December 2021 due to unfortunately catching COVID-19. It will be wonderful to see Ron Barassi hoisting the Melbourne Demons first Premiership Flag since 1964! Our Premiership drought of 57 years finally over! GO DEMONS!!! We are the reigning Premiers! 😁 3 Quote

He was interviewed as a past player and spoke movingly about the club and its past and how every past player just appreciates so much what the club as a whole has now achieved. So proud he was. Brian wilson echoed his comments also in a touching way. These guys, like us, really care. Kate Roffey' s address was top notch and powerful. No way will there be a premiership hangover.

Meggs 598 Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Nice to see Greg Wells there too. Captain 1977-78. Had a great boot on him and was ever reliable during our lean years of the seventies. Quote

But yeah maybe there is a reason for that but I can see why they have gone with this group. I'm just rapt Ron will be part of it this time. Never been to a premiership unveiling before. 1 Quote

Yes but you can't have everyone Dazzle!! Some have to miss out unfortunately. Want Junior, Grimes and Trenners to take Neita, Gaz and RDB's spots? Quote

Want Junior, Grimes and Trenners to take Neita, Gaz and RDB's spots? They were still our club captains regardless what you think of them as players. They went through the darkest period in the clubs history and barely saw any light. They deserved to be part of it just as much as these blokes. Lyon, Neitz, Viney had their turns last December on the MCG. Jack Grimes captained more games then Todd Viney FYI. I am not wanting this discussion to be seen at potting those names, far from it. They too are a part of our rich history. But if we're acknowledging past players who have made significant impact at this club then Trenners and Grimes deserved to be recognised as well.

Watched Trenners on Open Mike on Kayo the other night. Extremely good bloke who doesn't shy away from owning his situation. I always thought he would make a good coach but he chose a very different and less volatile path. The club would be better if he could have been involved for longer. Quote
