The stigma has been removed. No longer have to deal with pity and /or disdain when declaring I’m a Dees supporter. I will say its hard to stay humble when your team is so good though. Spent yesterday evening with my St Kilda supporting in-laws. The dynamic has changed. No longer equally hopeless. I couldn’t help being mean-spirited and petty. I know this makes me sound obnoxious but if St Kilda had won the flag I would have been on the receiving end without doubt. My topics of conversation were: How good were the Dees this year Will the Dees 3-peat Can the Dees go unbeaten in 2022 Langdon v Brad Hill. Who got the better deal St Kilda’s recent dumpster fire recruitment policy Will St Kilda ever win another premiership McCartin over Petracca, what might have been Can’t wait for season 2022 to get underway Go Dees

Happy xmas demonlanders. Hope you all have a relaxing and peaceful holiday period

Return the favor and beat them by 186 would be sweet

One ton is roughly equivalent to 2200 pounds or 1000 kg’s. To put this into perspective, the average adult male weighs about 90 kg’s. It would take 11 adult men to equal a ton. For those wondering about other things that weigh one ton I’ve provided a list below Baby Humpback Whale Walrus Black Rhinoceros Wild Asian Water Buffalo 1979 Volkswagen Beetle 110.6 million feathers 333 Standard Red Bricks 73 Bullion bars of gold 31.2 cubic feet of saltwater Adult Male Moose Saltwater Crocodile 22 cubic feet of sand Great White Shark Your welcome

I have St Kilda supporting in-laws. They're decent folks except when it comes to footy. I'll make sure to remind them over Christmas who now has the longest flag drought in the league

Got 10 right in 4 mins 37 secs I've looked at that sequence more than any other for the season including finals. Thought i would do better. Great questions though. I doubt anyone will get more than 15 without having to refresh they're memory beforehand

If he has a solid support network around him and gets wise advice he’ll be ok My advice. Focus on footy and ignore social media. Never heard anyone ever say social media helped with their mental health and wellbeing

I 100% thought TMac was cooked last year but he turned it around in style. Maybe the Weid will do the same this year

The players love him. Tie him down long term the only person I would give a contract for life is Jason Taylor. That bloke has a gift

Great report DIO. Thanks

Looking forward to seeing the great man at the G for Rd 1 https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/afl-legend-ron-barassi-is-back-at-the-gym-and-his-old-self-after-covid-fight/news-story/832051d21db8fe8862f3c4f1812b8e21 A snippet for those who can't get past the paywall “Ron is on the improve,” Rosemary Long said. “He went to the gym (on Thursday) and the plan was that he was going to take it easy. But Ron did his full routine, much to the surprise of his trainer.” Melbourne is now likely to ask Ron Barassi to play a role in its premiership flag unfurling in Round 1 next year.

Says a lot about how the club deals with players that TMac and Nibbler, both told to look at their options in the off season, performed so strongly in the B&F voting. We really are in great shape culture wise

And they all made the AA team

I'm glad Glen Bartlett got some recognition. Nice touch Kate Roffey

I like the choice of song. Nice little dig at the doggies

Very soothing

1. Oliver 2. Lever 3. Gawn 4. Trac 5. May

i know you're speaking hypothetically but he can stay where he is. We have a youthful list that has just won a flag. No need for top-ups

Only Gold Coast Suns player I'm interested in is Mac Andrew. Hopefully the culture up there doesn't stunt his development

Fingers crossed by the time the AFL season gets underway the pandemic will be all but over The data continues to come in from South Africa; Omicron is very mild. It’s highly transmissible, no question about that, but there’s nothing yet in the data to suggest anything other than it is not only mild, but the best possible outcome; a fast-spreading, super mild version of Covid. It looks like we got lucky It will have to be monitored as it spreads across the world, but based on South Africa’s experience there is no need to worry about this variant

We don't need to take punts on questionable players anymore. SA clubs haven't been beating a path to his door either. Says it all.

The intel will be valuable i'm sure but the biggest problem Scott has is his list are well past it. It's Jason Taylor they need to commence a rebuild.

We'll have to wait and see how they go over the next few years but the potential is there. Maxy has 5 AA jackets already and there's no ceiling for Clarry and Trac. Viney won't play every game just need him right for finals. Support act more than able as well.

Last year proved you need to play home finals. If we have luck with injuries and Tayla Harris fires then no reason why we can't finish top 2. Really looking forward to the season starting and hopefully we'll have another flag to celebrate
