Re sign Choco too
Concur. A Tiger mate of mine reckons he was instrumental in getting Dusty up a cog or two and no doubt has done similar with Trac. Very important piece in our coaching structure.

Furphy Melbourne Premiers Cases of Beer
Nothing wrong with VB. Gives the XXXX heavy a hiding in my view and taste.

Merch/Memorabilia
Got an email today from the Demon Shop that my stuff is on it's way to Qld. With all the crap happening around Covid, Aust Post etc. we need to give our people at the shop some slack. They are doing as well as can be seeing they would not have had this avalanche of orders in their history

Merch/Memorabilia
I ordered from Demon Shop and the HS on 27/9. Still nothing however as I'm in Qld and with the issues in Melbourne with Aust Post I realise it is not the fault of our shop or HS however Aust Post is struggling big time. Friend of mine sent up 5 HS 26/9 Sunday papers. Paid express post nearly $20 and I got them 8/10. Express Post is normally 2 Business days after mailing. Aust Post should have told my friend of delays and maybe pay normal postage. In any case will be very happy when my stuff from the shop and posters from HS turn up. Will be worth the wait.

Closest to the mark...2022 membership total
I'm going out there with a tad over 80k. All those lost supporters and now plenty of kids will get on board and join us long standing members. Wouldn't it be great to get to this figure and no real reason why not. Must be thousand's of Demons out there who are not members

"Luke Jackson won't make it as a ruckman" Dwayne Russell 3/12/20
And at only 19 he will get better. Scary stuff for the opposition.

Most Improved Player
My two are Oliver and Trac. They have improved there games heaps this season. Clarry not just an insider who mainly handballs. He now spreads and kicks as well as most. Trac fulfilling the promise and now delivering on a consistent basis.

Ronald Dale Barassi Fine Old Tawny Port 1981
I opened mine last night watching the replay. It was not good however still polished off half the bottle.

The turning point
I reckon Trac was the turning point particularly half way through the third to the final siren. He just said to the guys "hope on my back and I'll take you to the premiership"

Is This The Greatest Melbourne Team Ever?
I don't think to many will be leaving. Maybe a couple of the reserves but we are in for a great ride. Some of those young kids who didn't play plus Tomlinson augers well for a bit of a dynasty me thinks.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Like most of you lot and being at the 64 GF I've been waiting along time and last night was an amazing performance. Again like most was worried early in 3rd but then remembered I mentioned in game day thread that if we are a kick or two behind at half time we will run over them. How true!. Had plenty of beers before and during game. Told better half and son that I have a Robbie Flower port I bought from club many, many years waiting to open when we win another flag. Stayed up for replay and had about half the bottle. Bit rough today as the PORT certainly isn't as refined as Robbie was!.

GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs
Could be spot on here but also I hope that those 3 umpires keep an eye out for illegal blocking of Max way off the ball. Brisbane did it to him at Metricon last year and Umps did nothing. Hears hoping they pay one early to Max if it happens.

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
I'm strangely relaxed but no doubt will be toey tomorrow and will be getting into the soup around 4pm. Be well and truly ready by 7pm Brissie time. Reckon we will win and win well. Start well or be within a kick or two at half time and we will run all over them. Was 12 years old in 64 and as mentioned before was at the G that day so been a long time for me and allot of you. Bring it home guys.

GF Umpires
Who cares what the Umpires do as we will be that far in front any biased umpiring will not help the puppies.

Adam Cerra
Dr Gonzo we did not get Jacko. The AFL sent him to us to sort our mess out. Thank goodness he did.

Gee you talk a bit of sense here Dwight, which is strange for this site.. My exact thoughts. If he wanted to go to the blues he would have come out by now and announced same. This also leads me to think we are a big chance and he will wait until we WIN the GF. I have trust in our back office to get it done some how.
-
GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
That last line is spot on Dwight. Said many a time, our best is better than all others best including Dogs. We play at our best or very close to, then we win and I believe fairly easily.

POSTGAME: PF vs Geelong
Except for that blatant push in the back by Hawkins on May which resulted in a goal and also May hurting himself. How 3 umpires can miss 2 hands in back pushing May is beyond me.
-
PF: Melbourne vs Geelong
Exactly and whilst I reckon we will win and win easily, providing we play at or near our best, I am a little worried about the umpires. Both Dogs and Cats seem to get away with plenty and have the rub of the green. Some of those decisions and non decisions baffled me last night.
