From what I have heard Chandler leaves no stone unturned and is the perfect fit for our premiership culture. He will be banging down the door next year.

What a pickup. Draft best available and JT never misses, recruit for needs.

Buy now pay later. I don't care I've seen a premiership.

It sucks when you go to Geelong to watch us lose by 186 but can't go to the MCG to watch Melbourne win a premiership. Out of interest was 426 on our list when we lost by 186?

That was on my birthday and my wife booked tickets for the game and a hotel in Geelong for the night. Worst faarken birthday ever. Standing behind the goals with a cousin who lives in and barracks for Geelong watching the ball fly over our heads over and over again and my cousin checking phone to advise me if it was going to be a record margin and updating me constantly. Just to be clear my wife is not my cousin they were both there.

@Gary Pert, when we all watch the replay on the big screen at the MCG, maybe we could have badges handed out with members names on them. Like when we pick up membership scalves at the beginning of normal seasons It's a lot more logistically difficult but can be done.

Brent Grgic and Lamumba were unlucky. I am taking the P|ss I don't really like this thread. Everyone who wears or has worn the red and blue should be embraced.

Kozzie's goals were brilliant but the sheppard for Petracca on Dunkley in the GF personifies us. Better than any goal he kicked for us all year. Uncle Byron would be proud.

There is room on their for more.

I know what the club think internally of Chandler and they love him. It wouldn't surprise me if he comes in for T Mac next year and we just play Jackson or Gawn as resting forward with Big Ben Brown as the leading target and let the smalls wreak havoc.

Spoiler alert - Oliver will win

Gus and Gawny both suffering from severe hangovers.

Goodwin always seems to say similar with players we want. #selfless

I liked the highlight clips of just about every demon who we have ever drafted since all the footage has been recorded and made available. When we drafted a fat red head kid I could see he had skills but was a bit unsure we took him so early. When we drafted Luke Jackson all his clips showed a bloke who couldn't kick and we were taking an interstate ruckmen way to early. I love watching the draft highlights but I prefer the grand final ones where the fat red head kid and a young ruckmen who couldn't kick win us a premiership. I'm backing Jason Taylor on this.

He is just another player available in the draft. If we get a competitive advantage by drafting him through the academy rules I am all for it but as it stands that looks unlikely. Best of luck to the kid.

Hate to quote myself but had a rethink about it. Maybe it was the opposition coaches giving him votes?

I don't know where he will play but I don't think it will be at Casey. It's extrordinary that he got the 2nd most coaches votes for St Kilda and the coach wanted to get rid of him,

I've written before on Demonland one of Toby's mates got in a fight at a nightclub and Toby was on crutches, hobbled his way into it and started smashing the other bloke with his crutches. He couldn't even walk but he wasn't going to miss out on a fight.

Jason Taylor will dominate with pick 17. With covid cancelling alot of footy and making it impossible at times to travel interstate lots of teams will struggle with the picks before us. JT only ever goes for 1 type of player, highly competitive. Other teams will make the mistakes we used to make and look for "leadership qualities" The person with just about the least leadership qualities we have drafted in the last 20 years just captained us to a premiership. Or they will go for a skinny, skillful kid with "upside" JT will have alot sitting there for him that he won't believe and will get a competitive jet.

Couldn't happen to a nicer club.

Being selfless won us the flag. Let's stick with it.

Let's be happy but not arrogant like Hawthorn supporters.

Agree. In previous years Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw and Petracca were see ball get ball but alot of the time they were all going for it at once. This year thanks to the players maturing, an emphasis on selflessness and some strategic help from Yze we were alot better on the outside.

Did you ever dream he would do that type of havoc in a grand final? Ensure the Dees win, and not even contest for the norm smith medal??

I don't mind Perth so much anymore
