Fair to say that when viewed over a period of 18 years or so, the best teams do seem to get rewarded but those teams do change over time. Hawks were a destination club 5 years ago...not as unbalanced as all that (except for GC & GWS)

Cats and Dees win Trade Week, what does that say about the system

I would take Lachie Hunter...quite happily..

It follows then that if everyone is thinking it, you don't need to say it. Aint the internet grand!

He is still a Demon; be kinder about our own please

[Godfather]😉

Watching him in the GF he positioned beautifully across the half back line playing a Brayshaw role. I was impressed

Love Nut!

Can confirm that he wasn't

with so many nickname opportunities too!

Would question his tank to fulfil that role.

Went along with the family; loved showing my 18 year old what going to the fotty in the old days was like. We wound up on the Northern wing in front of the old members stand. The 1sts were ensconced in the back of the stand and got pretty vocal as the game wore on. AFL Stand outs for me were Chandler - worked hard all day Weid - Tireless against a significantly bigger body Woey - A real surprise packet. Excellent field position and game awareness Melky - Too good for this level Disco - Blue collar solid AVR - Battled hard on a day designed specifially to NOT showcase his skills My son who stood out in the rain for the duration while faint hearts saught shelter - a true next generation Demon diehard

Just musing on potential headlines if he does join us: "GrunDee!" "GrunDeeal" Too soon?

Remember to bob down at the ticket window to buy your "junior" ticket. Worked for me till I was 22!

Just around the corner for this aging innercity hipster! I'll be there! Go Dees!

Sydney has our first round pick this year I reckon

If only we stuffed up like that all the time, we would have a few more flags! 😉

Fair enough but some of this is based on hindsight. Not sure Dunstan would have been the difference based on exposed form earlier in the year Bowey would definitely have been worth a try but I wonder if something is going on behind the scenes that we are not aware of based on his sudden departure from the ones earlier in the year - he looked good in the VFL Prelim. Spargo has a fantastic footy brain and does an awful lot of stuff that we don't see Macca not yet fit (don't forget how little he did in the GF last year) who also said at a recent club function that JVR is going to be special but is miles off tank wise, this would suggest that he would not have helped the fade out.

Specifically which players that were running around for Casey yesterday would have made a difference? Assessing the available playing list they are either developing youngsters or excellent mature age VFL players. Personally I think we suffered from too many injuries to too many key players when it counted.

Interesting outs but not a bad FF line

Started it last night! so far, so good

Who films themselves watching the footy?

Fixed it for you

Hope he plays and we [censored] them all the same
