5 - Dunn ( composed and safe all game )

1 - in 1965 , the year after our last grand final , I started to take the game seriously when everyone else in my area was following the Saints , I decided to be a rebel , and look where that got me in the last 50 years

2 - my favourite player was always Ross Dillon , but David Schwarz and Robbie Flower will always be remembered with great fondness.

3 - winning against Footscray at Footscray to make the finals for the first time in my Demons supporting life.

The highs and lows of that day were of the most extreme forms imaginable , and when the crowd erupted with ecstasy at the ground upon hearing the result of another match that allowed us to make the finals, we knew that the cosmos had aligned and we'd attained the ultimate high

4 - So many lowlights as a Demons supporter for 50 years I wouldn't know how to separate them

5 - my children hate me for bringing them into this world as Demons' supporters , but they had the freedom to change but chose not to.
