Can anybody name the other Grand Final Coach who never played without looking it up?  (I couldn't)

    I hope his goggles fog up and he trips over himself, falls flat on his face, breaks his nose and never plays again.

    Another year and we don't have to wonder where our post match celebrations will be held.

    Can Collingwood still use Victoria Park and how about the Lions at Brusnswick Street Oval. Olympic Park does not have the same feel.

    I see the Pies are trying a fan site at Olympic Park. These have never really worked in the past. A pity.... I wonder what would attract people.

    I thought our post premiership day at the MCG was well done but I hope the next one is even better

    Some returned tickets from the MCC ballot become available tomorrow. I'm not bothering. 

    FWIW, I was again attacked by a freakin magpie while riding today. That's 4 times in the past month.

    Death to magpies!!

    Joyce and Hafey both played VFL footy.  It's a great trivia question!

    so hard not to google it. certainly a cracking question 

    it’s actually surprising there’s aren’t more coaches that’s haven’t played at the highest level. Jose Mourinho types

    The last one I can remember is Wayne Brittain at Carlton.

    edit:  Add Brendan McCartney and Neil Craig (who did play 300+ SANFL games).

    I didn’t know Chris Fagan never played VFL/AFL. Now I’m wondering why I oftentimes heard Brendon Bolton being criticised as a coach because of the fact that he never played at the highest level. I’ve never heard this sort of talk about Fagan.

    And there's another one!  Forgot all about him, even though he coached as recently as 2019.

    Dammit, this still hurts. We absolutely should be playing this weekend. Anyway. Go Brisbane, I guess. Purely because the alternative doesn’t bear thinking.

    Cox getting a medal will mean the nausea going into effect.

    Maynard getting a medal will mean a churning feeling in the stomach.

    Howe getting a medal will mean chunks and bile all over the tv.

    I'll watch it, but the TV will be turned off if the unthinkable becomes inevitable.

    Won't be watching. Not sure why anyone on here would. Picking up a new car then watching our 2021 finals. Will be a great day.

    What car @Clintosaurus? Take a video of picking it up and put it on Demonland, I’d rather watch that than the GF.

    Anyone painting? Good viewing (relatively) there, too.

    Subaru Forester Sport. If only the XT was still a thing.

    No, but I could always stream one of Bob Ross’ painting sessions

    Had to look him up. Nice Catoggioid hair!

    However, I had the drying phase in mind. Warm day, but I reckon there'd still be 4 quarters plus presentations worth.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
