I like both the WEG posters and the Mark Knight posters. Although I slightly favour the WEG posters because of the tradition and history behind them over many decades. Fingers crossed the 1988 and 2000 WEG grand final posters get re-used for more Melbourne Demons Premierships in the near future! 🤞 GO DEMONS!!! 👹🔴🔵

Hahahahahaha! 😂 Yes! Exactly! Dear Kate Roffey, when will our new Home Training Base be built? Asked at least 50,000 times! I am all for contributing to a future fund as long as it gets bloody built!

Glad this never happened. Although a permanent training base would be nice! The Melbourne Demons certainly dodged a few merger bullets with possibilities in North Melbourne, Fitzroy, Hawthorn, Richmond and even St.Kilda being mentioned. I was there Round 22 in 1996. My first ever game live! The atmosphere was electric! I remember spraying the person's back, who was sitting in front of me at the MCG, with spittle when I was screaming and barracking so loudly for our beloved Demons to win! I still can't believe Hawthorn won by 1 point! Paul Salmon (Hawthorn ruckman at the time) should of been pinged for deliberate out of bounds when he kept knocking the ball out of bounds on the boundary line in the last few minutes against Jimmy Stynes. The Melbourne Hawks came close. But fortuitously never came about. We can thank Don Scott for that I think. Although we all know there was more to the story back in 1996 with all those dodgy proxy votes and people not allowed into the hall to vote due to capacity limitations. Almost 10 years later, I remember a very drunk Mick Molloy (radio presenter/comedian and Tigers supporter) suggesting the Melbourne Tigers outside the MCG a few years ago. He was blind drunk. I told him to shut his [censored] hole. Luckily the Demons won that game back in the mid 2000s. Having the name Melbourne and our MCC connections helped when we are an absolute laughing stock in the AFL. Interesting a lot of VFL clubs were in dire straights financially in 1986 and the introduction of the Brisbane Bears and West Coast Eagles helped prop up many clubs at the time apparently.

Any further updates? I am pretty confident Simon Goodwin will re-sign for another 4 or 5 years. The lure of creating a Chicago Bulls or Boston Celtics dynasty would be incredibly tantalizing for him and the rest of the players here at the Demons. After 57 years of pain and misery a few flags would be wonderful for us long-suffering Melbourne supporters and members.

Got this custom framed as a Birthday present. It has both the WEG poster and Mark Knight's poster as well as the Melbourne Demons 2021 Premiers poster from The Age newspaper in the middle. It is beautiful to behold! The Melbourne Demons 2021 Premiership triumph in all its glory! The big challenge now is putting it up on the wall!

I found a very tiny image of the 1988 Melbourne losing VFL Grand Final poster. Here is the link on Big Footy with all the losing Grand Final posters: I have looked everywhere on the Internet for a larger version of the 1988 one. However, if someone could find a larger version of the image it would be greatly appreciated.

I think besides winning more AFL and AFLW Premierships the main priority for the Melbourne Football Club needs to be getting our home base sorted. Hopefully this matter will be addressed at the Melbourne Football Club's Annual General Meeting in a few weeks time? While it is absolutely wonderful that we have finally broken our Premiership drought after 57 years that doesn't mean we should rest on our laurels regarding this matter of a home base.

Got my 2022 MFC Redlegs Membership in the mail today!

Great to hear Ron Barassi has recovered! Looking forward to seeing Ron raise our Premiership Flag at Round 1 2022. It will be a fitting tribute to see him do that!

Finally gotta photo with my Dad holding the Melbourne Demons 2021 AFL Premiership Cup today! Was a wonderful moment! Saw many other happy Melbourne Demons supporters with their families taking photos with our 57 year drought breaking Premiership Cup! It finally feels real! We are reigning Premiers! Go Demons! 😁👍🏻

Imagine Patrick Dangerfield coming to the Demons in a last pitch effort to finally win a Premiership? That would be a huge news story! I doubt Patrick Dangerfield would do that though as I think he is very happy living down in Geelong.

I know that this has been discussed before but I thought it was worth raising this topic again seeing as a lot of other AFL clubs are now allocating jumper numbers to their new recruits. From my understanding these are the 10 numbers currently available at the Melbourne Demons. 1) Number 2# (worn with great distinction by the late and great Robbie Flower, Stephen Tingay and the recently retired Nathan Jones) 2) Number 21# 3) Number 22# 4) Number 27# 5) Number 39# 6) Number 40# 7) Number 41# 8) Number 43# 9) Number 45# 10) Number 46# The following 6 players will need to be allocated numbers. 1) Luke Dunstan from St. Kilda Saints - Possibly numbers 21, 22 or 27? I reckon it will probably be number 21. 2) Blake Howes drafted from Sandringham Dragons - Possibly numbers 2, 21, 22 or 27? Maybe number 16 if Bailey Laurie wants to change him number and is able to get number 2. 3) Judd McVee drafted from East Fremantle Sharks - Probably a high number like 39, 40, 41, 43, 45 or 46 seeing as he is a rookie listed player. 4) Jacob Van Rooyen drafted from Claremont Tigers - Possibly number 2, 21, 22 or 27? It would be good to give a tall player number 2 for a change. Although I actually think number 27 would suit him. Worn by Sean Wight and Anthony Ingerson in the past. 5) Taj Woewodin drafted from East Fremantle Sharks - Being the son of Shane Woewodin, the 2000 Brownlow Medalist and having his Father's number 22 available for him to wear makes sense. However, Taj may not want that kind of pressure on him by wearing that number. Anyway, I hope he does choose 22 for the sake of tradition. But I am not fussed as to what number he wants to wear. 6) Andy Moniz-Wakefield drafted from Northern Territory Thunder - I think either Neville Jetta's number 39 or Matthew Whelan's number 45 would suit him appropriately. However, we will wait and see what number he receives. I expect it to be a high number seeing as he is a category B rookie.

Who do you think is going to win the Keith "Bluey" Truscott Trophy tonight and be declared the winner of the 2021 Melbourne Demons Best & Fairest in a Premiership year? I reckon it would have to be Clayton Oliver. That's my very confident tip. He was the most consistent player the whole year. My top 5 is as follows... 1) Clayton Oliver 2) Christian Petracca 3) Max Gawn 4) Jake Lever 5) Christian Salem Anyway, it should be an enjoyable evening as I think the Melbourne Football Club is live-streaming the event?

I wouldn't mind the Demons chasing Tim Taranto from GWS. Apparently he used to be a Melbourne Demons supporter as a kid.

Finally got my tickets booked in to see the Melbourne Demon's 2021 AFL Premiership Cup with my 72 year old Dad on the weekend of the 18th and 19th December and take some photos. Gonna cry a little...but only tears of joy! It will definitely be an emotional experience for me and my Dad. 😭 The fact that we have survived 57 years in the wilderness before finally breaking our Premiership drought is absolutely incredible. Just being able to survive as an AFL Club in 2012 and 2013 was an achievement. I am glad that we finally have those dark days behind us and we can hopefully look forward to more sustained success and further Premiership glory!

No worries. Thank you! I have booked in tickets for me and my Dad to go there over that weekend at the Australian Sports Museum and take photos with the Melbourne Demons' 2021 AFL Premiership Cup!

Sadly never got to see the 2021 AFL Premiership Cup on Sunday. Does anybody know if the Demons Premiership Cup tour in continuing? Ideally in metropolitan Melbourne around either Glen Waverley or perhaps Blackburn? I just want to take my Dad to get a photo with it. My Dad isn't as mobile as he used to be and it would be a very special memory to get a photo of my Dad and I holding the Premiership Cup together. I may need to speak to the Club about it.

Had a great time yesterday. Fantastic to see so many Melbourne Demons supporters! We didn't have to worry about winning or losing. It was just a big party! It was a bit of a joke and a laugh when I said to one fellow Demons supporter while waiting in line to get a coffee at the start of the 3rd quarter that things looked grim....do you think we will come back from here? 😂 Saw David Neitz and gave him the thumbs up! 👍 He's still a great bloke! Gotta love big Neita! My face got a little sunburnt even though I was wearing a hat. A bit of a mystery how that happened?! Took the train in with my Dad. Sadly we got there too late to get a photo with the 2021 AFL Premiership Cup. It had just left the Premiership Cups display when we arrived there. My Dad is 72 and has health issues so I can't really rush him to do things. Hopefully, I can arrange with the Club for another time to get a photo with my Dad and I holding the 2021 AFL Premiership Cup.

I don't have the link, but I had friends show me videos on Tik-Tok (some social media video thingy) showing Luke Jackson training very hard with a personal trainer while he is currently over in Perth.

Hope the great Ronald Dale Barassi and his Wife recover quickly. I also agree that RDB should unfurl the 2021 Premiership Flag at the Demons first home game at the MCG. It would be a fitting tribute. In place of RDB while he is unwell, I would actually like Hassa Mann as a remaining Demons Premiership player from 1964 and/or Nathan Jones to present the 2021 AFL Premiership Cup.

I think Tom Sparrow should keep jumper number #32. Make it his own I reckon! Anyway these will be the ten jumper numbers available next year for new five Demon recruits. #2 #21 #22 #27 #39 #40 #41 #43 #45 #46

I have been very pleased we somehow got Blake Howes with pick #39 in the Draft. It was basically a fluke that he slipped so far down. He was easily rated in the top 20 to top 25 players from what experts have said. So basically the Demons won a Premiership and still got two top 20 players in this year's AFL Draft in Jacob van Rooyen and Blake Howes. You gotta be happy with those results!

I think Nathan Jones should decide what happens with highly esteemed number #2 jumper. Personally, I like the idea of Bailey Laurie getting number #2 as he used to wear it with the Oakleigh Chargers and number #16 hasn't been too lucky for Bailey so far with his injuries in 2021. Otherwise, either Jacob van Rooyen or Blake Howes could be worthy recipients of the number #2 jumper. One final cheeky suggestion is to wait until Tim Taranto leaves GWS and offer it to him when he comes to the Demons! 😁

The Demons have definitely been keen on recruiting a few East Fremantle Sharks players recently! Luke Jackson Trent Rivers Taj Woewodin and now.... Judd McVee!

If we can get at least one of those players you listed at pick 38 it would be wonderful. Especially, either Sam Butler, Judson Clarke, Toby Conway, Arlo Draper, Josh Goater, Blake Howes, Matthew Johnson, Mitch Knevitt, Matthew Roberts, Tyler Sonsie, Zac Taylor, Corey Warner, Jack Williams or Cooper Murley. I would be particularly over the moon if we are lucky enough to draft one of these 14 draftees.
