I love all the praise above for Daisy. Every bit of it 100% justified and earned. She’s a true legend of our great Club, and the game itself.

Great to see no post-surgery bandaging or strapping on Clarrie’s injure hand.

……… my preferred trifecta: Flag (AFL), Flag (AFLW), Flag (Casey Demons). We came close in 2022, and hopefully we can go one better in 2023.

Yes, compliments of the season to members of the Demonland family everywhere, and especially to Andy, and all those involved in keeping this wonderful ‘meeting place’ up and running for all Dees fans

Great pod, thanks! Out of every player on every AFL list, Max would be my first choice as skip. We are so lucky to have him!

If only we had one in the MCG precinct to 'train down'!

A couple of points of motivation, apart from watching the Dees in win #5 for the 2023 season OD: - free accommodation in a mates apartment, within walking distance of Adelaide Oval, - Mrs DoF and I enjoy visiting the SA wine regions and beaches. We’ll drive from Canberra, and make a bit of a holiday of it. The Dees game is followed by another game (Port and somebody) so we will probably stay on for that. Yes, we went to watch the Dees [censored] Adelaide at AO last season.

Got my tickets this morning, no probs. Reserved seat in a dedicated area for Melbourne members for the Dees game. Very happy!

Fabulous poddy thanks to Andy, George, Bin, and of course, Jason Taylor. I’m currently in a remote part of the Snowy Mountains, with pretty dodgy internet coverage, so I couldn’t listen live. However, I’m pleased to say it’s coming through loud and clear this morning, as I sit outside in the sunshine, sharing my toast and marmalade with a red and blue (Crimson) Rosella, which is sitting on top of my IPad, which rests on my lap. How lucky we are to live in this great country, and to follow our great team play in the greatest sporting competition on earth! Thanks again guys, for your podcasts throughout the year. Always interesting, enjoyable and informative! Go Dees!

A fantastic ’fit’ for the MFC job. All the best Benny!

That post is worth a double love WCW! 💕

What a story!!

❤️💙 PREMIERS!! ❤️💙

Absolutely living this magnificent moment, through teary eyes!

We are right in this! Reminiscent of the Prelim.

I expect it to be tight, but I’m quietly confident that Daisy will be holding up the silverware at the end of the day. The ‘Demon Spirit’ will prevail.

Premierships I presume OD!

I had a similar experience a while back D4L. It seems that records of memberships in the 1960s, 70s and 80s were a shambles, and I was only credited with continuous membership from the time that record keeping improved. I'm quite proud of my unbroken years of membership, especially given our many years in the 'doldrums', so I wrote to the Club, and included copies of all the cards in my shoe box (like you, I suspect that some earlier cards were missing, but I was unable to verify this). Bottom line: I thought the Club handled it in a professional way, and I've experienced no subsequent hiccups. Hopefully it will be the same for you in future years!

100% Kev. I reckon that since we last played the Lions, we’ve improved by 20%. I have no ‘feel’ for any improvement by the Lions in that period, but I do know that we’ve really hit our straps. They are a very good team, but so are we! I’m quietly confident that our ‘Demon Spirit’, led by the strong willed players who you mention, will get us over the line. Gee, I hope so!

Proactive as always. I like it! Who do we have in mind?

I’m okay with the venue because Brisbane won the right to the ‘home ground advantage’ (albeit by a measly .1%), but I’ll be seriously angry if the shifting surface costs us because of an ‘in game’ or ‘long term’ injury. The AFL are taking a significant risk on this front, imo!

So for the time being it’s LSW (Limping) CivilWar? Recover quickly!

100% agree, but what a ‘ripper’ in the last!

We did! It was that ‘Demon Spirit’!

The ‘Demon Spirit’ and a touch more class when we needed it, got us over the line in the end.
