Just a quick statement/ thought! I have supported this club through good and bad. At times I must admit my love did wane but my commitment never has, being a WA based member for over 25 years. I will be attending tomorrow and must say; very nervous and very excited. I really can't say we win or lose but do believe this is the start of a few very promising years. Having looked through the predictions at the beginning of the season, we had one pundit expecting us to make the 8. Personally I thought we would and maybe win a first final. This is well beyond what I expected. Whatever the result the players, coaches and backroom staff have certainly done more than most expected. The video of Goodwin on the season ahead is also nostradamus like! https://www.afl.com.au/news/560486/crystal-ball-our-predictions-for-the-2021-afl-season-are-in Walking out of OPTUS tomorrow, it will be with a sense of joy or sorrow but also hope that this team is the one that breaks the drought sooner than later. The curse of Norm Smith may be folklore but it has certainly hung above us. Norm died at 57 and we have made the GF 57 years after we last one it. In saying all this I hope we step up tomorrow and put the dogs in the kennel. Our best will be good enough, lets hope we bring it!

Saturday night at 8.30 pm WST we will all know. Hoping around 7.30 pm WST it is in the bag for the Dees.

If that's the case we should Sh$t all over them !

Win or lose (Hopefully win of course) one feels the next 3-4 years will be big. Jordan, Bowser, Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Sparrow, Spargo are all young up comers and playing in a GF. 33% of the team on the field will be no older than 21-22. Quite amazing. This week off has been good but geez next week will be a killer. The prelim lead up was hard enough!

I think the Max Gawn interview after the game said it all. Jones is the backbone of the club and the person who has inspired him to achieve. I believe Nathan gave the timing great thought and to ensure our playing group understand this is just a small part of the big picture; make the most of it and give all you can as one day it will be over. Now is time to rewrite history! Saturday week let's honour a true legend of the Dee's and bring the cup back to the where it belongs!

I am finding that the AFL Website has put numerous articles on about Bulldogs; Dunkley, Smith, their recruitment guy and yet nothing on us. Next will be a story on breeds of dogs, featuring Bulldogs. Not overly phased as it seems the usual AFL beat up of the bulldogs, just hope the headline next Saturday night is simply; Dogs in the dog house and Demon's Delirious.

My family and are Dees supports and I have been a member for over 22 years. We hold a Cat 2 Interstate Family Membership as we live in Perth. If we do win against Geelong happy to negotiate with Melbourne based members to receive GF Tickets if unable to attend. Happy to give my details to Joan at Western Demons (Perth Based Supporter Group), as to ensure it is legitimate. Go Dee's !

We are now a destination club!

I am in on Monday. Family GFG!

Weeds is a lock-in. The day will come and he will bag a casual 6! I think against the pies!

Confidence and attitude play hand in hand. Think Choco and yze would get him humming !

Know the young man well. Great fella and could be a handy pick up if we can get. Certainly worth throwing a second round pick at.

And AFL team of the week should have at least 5 MFC players. Langdon for a second round pick! Champagne trading!

An incredible day. Truely felt that this was the best all round performance. Massive appreciate for our stars but sparrow, hunt, Jetta were amazing. The confidence is growing. Get May back ASAP and b brown in and this is gold. A massive well done to the players, football department and those around the club that do the little things! 2021 is an odd year, never a demon’s best year, but I think the tide is about to change!

LJ will be a gun and I suspect another East Freo boy (Carroll) will be drafted to allow the Dees to have a WA flavour with the hope they stick together at the Dees. Where will he end up playing will depend on the coach, game plan, opportunities etc. But I believe he will be a jet as a forward ruck combo
