TAKE ME OUT TO A BALL GAME
Wish I could be there. It's an interesting thing the sheer joy and satisfaction I've felt winning a flag. Its obviously sweeter than what most fans experience, given how long we've waited but I'm surprised at how special it feels. And I always told myself I'd be happy just to see one in my life but now I want dozens.

When do players peak?
Imho, I reckon Dusty Martin played his best footy about five years ago. Not saying hes now a bad player but at 25 his stats and club votes indicate his best year. So has Trac peaked at 25? Even if he has it's not to say he can't keep playing at the same level for for the next five years. Oliver is 24. And we have a great deal of good players under 25. Obviously it's not just age ...its also the number of games but all things being equal is 25 the consensus for a players best year? Should we be looking for another young tall forward?

The Grand Final Rematch
The energy changed but the 19 points was an exaggeration of the dogs efforts. We missed a lot of goals and the dogs were uncanny with their snaps.

The intangibles that won a flag
Never been a better time to wear a beanie or scarf and flying the club's colours. # Demonpride.

The intangibles that won a flag
The number of young players who played above and beyond their number of years and games and the clubs faith in them. Bbb to show glimpses of his old form heading into and during finals. Fritta to reveal he is the best forward we have had for a while.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
From the 3aw commentary after Sparrow's three quarter time goal 30 secs left: Whose to say they can't get another one. He he.

2022 Fixture
I'm happy to play dogs ...the Afl is obviously recreating a gf atmosphere but it's tough for fans with work the next day. Given that we had to play in another state in our gf , you'd think we would get a break and given a Friday night. Cwood v saints, what a classic that will be.

2021 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow
Played a ripper Gf with poise and selflessness. That goal off one step like was like Tracs earlier one except that Tom is a lot younger. A potential close to another CP perhaps. I thought James Jordan was dealt a harsh blow being replaced by Sparrow. Thought they were at about the same level but I'm now sure they are not. Nothing against JJ but TS is a gun for his age.

I'm sure you mean Cwood but I think Hawks would go close.

Petty taken high a couple of times but were probably softies. The two against Viney were defianately not there. Jack did well not to lose it.

Another great article on our captain.
Ouch.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Agreed he has stepped up to another level all year. I used to wonder why he got games last year at times and cringed at his kicking on goal. Now a fully fledged premiership player and gives 100 percent. His passion for the club is evident. As for the umpiring I think we had a good run in the first half. Ironically in the 3rd q when we turned things around I thought the umps were below average. Other than that I didn't really notice them which in a granny is a good thing. Enjoy your blue ray.

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
My favorite character shared the same surname as jumper number two. As for our new recruits, I can honestly say I believe the club can do no wrong with the selections they make these days. We have winners on and off the field in this club.

Game plans, tactics and all that jazz
Not the appropriate thread and apologies if it's been dealt with. I watched the replay of the last h and a game against cats aka one of the best comebacks. In that last minute Gus was pinged for a deliberate or " insufficient intent" for a kick that slipped off his foot. Obviously given the amount of time left and the score nothing could have been less true. That umpire should be called out as not qualified to arbitrate any games. There are howlers we all make but that was the worst call ever and could have so easily cost us top spot.

PLAYER NUMBERS AND BEST TEAMS
I have never enjoyed footy so much as of the last six months and have never been so excited about the next season. I'm sure we all feel the same. Oh how sweet if this is another decade like the fifties or sixties and we win another 3 or four cups.

I think they wanted fathoms.

Welcome to Demonland: Blake Howes
That's going back a fair way. Interesting times when our tv content was probably more English than Yank. Although I do recall love they neighbor to be pretty racist. I loved the two Ronnie's but going back even further was Dads army. I discovered it on reruns on foxtel only later. It has to be one of the funniest shows ever made.
