Fanatique Demon

You’ve done good with this, Werridee.

Jones was on his best behaviour. Only said “bl00dy” twice this time. Seriously, I have never heard him speak - even in an interview immediately after a game - without him managing to use that word. Not that it’s a bad word, but it must be one of his favourites. 😀

I noticed in previous years there were times when umpires continued to give votes to players after they had become ineligible. I wasn’t able to watch the count this year, so I don’t know if this happened again. But I've always thought that it’s a silly act to waste a vote that could have gone to another worthy recipient. Did anyone notice it this year?

I thought the same!

Good effort by our boys. Would have loved Clarry to win it, but the coaches’ award is actually a better indication of a player’s value than what the umpires think. The status of the two is the wrong way around.

Lovely to hear. I wish I could be with my daughters. Haven’t been able to see them for two years.

Town called Souillac sur Dordogne.

You’re right. We’re in hiding. Our door bell features pictures of the French and Australian flags. Last week I wanted to swap the Aussie one for a Demons one, but my wife was against it. She’ll be in favour of it now, surely.

Ray Groom was a sensational player.

France sounds nice. I think I’ll go there.

Anyone in south west France wanting to see the game can PM me.

Get this! 1964 Football Record: “Frank Davis — Half-back flanker who broke into the senior side against Hawthorn late in the year and has done remarkably well. Six games.” Now in 2021: Jake Bowey— Half-back flanker who broke into the senior side against the Gold Coast Suns late in the year and has done remarkably well. Six games. Do we have a premiership player and future captain to echo the fine work of Frank Davis?

Here’s one dog that’s on our side. My wife sculptured this full size Shikoku and I dressed her appropriately. Come on Demons!

On the other hand we could all dress up and WEAR THE DEMONS.

Pictures?

Nah. Too many teeth.

Great! Will there be a digital version?

I don’t know any Bulldogs supporters. (I remember a boy in primary school barracking for Footscray. That was in 1957 and I haven’t seen or heard of him since 1962.) Who are these Bulldogs supporters? And what are they like? Feel free to exercise all your favourite cliches and biases in an effort to enlighten me.

I think he has been more assured than Rivers in the finals so far. Keep it up, Jake!

Good work, Rusty. One more with record scores, please.

If the game between the Dogs and Port had been a really low standard and one of them had just stumbled across the line, our boys might have felt they had the Premiership in the bag. Especially after how they carved up the Cats yesterday. But today they witnessed a really worthy opponent and they definitely won’t be complacent. The Dogs were great, but they may just run out of steam after all their travel, one extra game and a week of quarantine. Go Demons!

Port had no midfield drive and no defence. It will be vastly different in the GF. GO DEMONS!

6… Gawn 5… Viney 4… Petracca 3… Oliver 2… Lever 1… Salem

Watch every 2021 game again and see how we’ve grown.

It’s 4am here. I’m still so excited I can’t sleep.
