Haha It never hurts to broaden your horizons Jaded No More. After landing this years cup, and while awaiting the landing of next years cup, a little dabble on the aptly named Melbourne Cup doesn't hurt. And backing the winner and the trifecta today only reinforced that view.

I know, Allus, it’s terrifying. My grandson has now gone 3 weeks without ever seeing a premiership.i worry about his mental development and really hope he doesn’t grow up as traumatised as most of us on here. -
Didn't think this past week could have got any better

So sorry to hear of your plight Deeoldfart. As far as I am concerned you are not derailing this thread - we are both making community announcements. -

Neil Crompton replied to Neil Crompton's topic in Melbourne Demons
Thanks ET. Both are doing good. Membership will be a Christmas present, definitely. -
Winning the premiership last Saturday was a magnificent feeling - which will last me a lifetime.. However, just when I thought things couldn't get any better, our daughter today has had a baby boy, giving us our first grandchild. The only downside is that due to Covid restrictions, we cannot yet meet this future Demon mid. (but may be able to come Monday, as some of our restrictions are about to be lifted). Life really is good

Just wanted to make mention of a team - first act that I have only just noticed on a replay. As we know, Kossie hardly touched the ball all game, but he did have a few great defensive moments. The one I want to highlight involves the Petracca dribbling goal, where Kossie does a powerful front on shepherd/bump on Dunkley to prevent him from possibly tackling Petracca. Dunkley ends up on his back and Petracca gets the 6 points. Just luv this kid. -

There certainly is a lot of luv being spread on here tonight. I just went to bed to try and spread a bit more love, but apparently I smell like a brewery, and I have ignored her to the last 26 weeks. So here i am back amongst those who know how to appreciate and celebrate a win for the ages. . -

During the first and second quarters, I really wanted someone to clean up Libba - and shut that gob of his. But I don't think anyone of our team could have hurt him more than the our performance in the last 2 quarters. Hope that really hurt Libba. -

Haha is he going to Carlton because we wouldn’t trade Jordon and Sparrow for him?

isn't it a [censored] when you have to explain your joke. -
If that's the case, then the Cerra deal, if its to be done, will be with current and future picks, because I'm positive the Club would not trade out Sparrow and Jordon. If it did, then Club culture would be out the door, and greed will have replaced it. And that is not how I see our Club proceeding. But just my thoughts
-
Sorry daz, but there is no way I'd be trading out Sparrow and Jordon. They have been great role players for us this year, and both show greater potential coming. Why risk this? If Cerra were to nominate us, I'd see the Club using players like Baker, Bedford, Lockhart and Chandler as more likely trade offerings, rather than Sparrow and Jordon. (although I'd hate to see any of them go).

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
Neil Crompton replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Whatever the result next Saturday, this football team we support has brought me more joy this year than any other year that I have supported them, including’64. The players , coaches and support staff have my greatest admiration and thanks for what they have achieved to date, for themselves, the Club and for us loyal supporters. That sentiment will not be diminished if the worst were to happen on Saturday night. I would also like to state that while I’d love to be able to see it live in person, that fact that I can’t will not diminish the shear joy and ecstasy I will feel if we win. It’s our time, I believe. -

Straight and to point as always D. -
Haha, was that deliberate?

The best thread ever

I don't see Tomlinson down back next year. Petty, to my mind, has surpassed him for that role. Not sure where he fits in to be honest - he won't (shouldn't) get the wing back. Perhaps he ventures forward and competes with Tmac for the CHF role.
