		Saturday Morning on Demonland (1)
		
		Unlike you to pull the wrong rein WJ, but I really don't think two weeks after the club's greatest ever triumph in a Covid affected, 18 team national competition, where we finished top and smashed the finals, away from our rightful home, is the time to start headlining our greatest ignominies. Yeah we've come a long way baby - we all know that. Now's the time for countin' coz the dealins done.

		3 More Years for Chris Scott
		
		With Mitchell out shopping his only decent experienced players and getting donuts, the only good thing about Hawthorn is they are not Geelong.

		Off Season Surgeries
		
		I'm guessing he's sticking strictly to the nightclub and alcohol treatment in Perth.

		Petracca Back at It
		
		I heard he cycled to Esperance, swam the Bight to Adelaide and then ran back into Melbourne for a post season triathlon - there's your 9 days.

		"Luke Jackson won't make it as a ruckman" Dwayne Russell 3/12/20
		
		Dwayne - Geelong and Port Adelaide both embarrassed at the pointy end and MFC won the flag!

		POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL  vs Western Bulldogs
		
		One highlight of so many for me was TMac hitting pause on the celebrations and driving home the goal after the siren - clinical, take no prisoners!

		AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURS 
		
		I think Brendan McCartney laid the foundations for the Dogs 2016 win and our 2021 win by setting the standard required in the contest. Then it took, in the words of Tommy Hafey, "some finessin' " by others to polish the final product. Macca is part of the legend for me!

		Your favourite grand final photo
		
		Yes cheers, closing on 20 years I think. There was a time in the Neeld years where we fell off the rope ladder into the river and got washed all the way back to the Bangladesh delta. Then Peter Jackson and Paul Roos arrived and we headed back towards Kathmandu. Still can hardly believe we made it!

		Simon Goodwin named Senior Coach of the Year
		
		Unlike you to misread the play Nasher ... Old mate will soon be taking the credit for the "turnaround" - if only we'd listened to him earlier it would already be the 3-peat.

		GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
		
		Stefan Martin left MFC at the end of 2012 - I don't think it's the same Max Gawn as then.
