I'm not usually a huge fan of the Knight posters (his Richmond ones were terrible) but I actually don't mind that Demons one. A wegart one has also been released, basically rips off the unused 1958 one which doesn't make sense, would've preferred they went with the unused 2000 one.

I'm pretty sure it also includes the watchAFL app so you can watch all footy games overseas

Definitely one of the great footy stories, there's a 30 for 30 episode there just waiting to be made

That's actually a killer playlist, feels like some late night Rage on ABC back in the 80s/90s or 3am drunk at a party somewhere

That's fine but I didn't really comment on how Jackson landed at the Demons, only that getting Cook is as significant for the Blues as PJ was for us and they may turn things around and no longer be a place where talent goes to die as we were for so long.

Fantastic recognition of the work and accomplishments he has achieved so far this year. One major one to go though, keep on trucking Goody.

Jury's out, should be in 11pm Saturday 😜

Dazzle is right though, would be silly to nominate a club before knowing who the coach is. Might just be waiting on that before announcing. I won't lose sleep over it if we miss him, would be a good get sure but we can do without him.
Just like we did? Things do change, I think landing Cook is as important to Carlton as getting Jackson was for us. Great get, as important (if not moreso) than the new coach appointment.
It's a great read although my superstitions won't allow me to finish it before saturday (because?? Reasons.) So I've read all but the last few pages, look forward to finishing it on Sunday after we salute for number 13. It really is written very well, very gripping narrative and the background to some of the kesser known players is very informative.
I'll settle for 13 (Clarry, Yze, Jakovich)
if we lose 😭
Hmm another for Saturday night if we get up - can't decide between Hawkwind's "You Know You're Only Dreaming" & "Master of the Universe" Another apt one from the same album "We Took The Wrong Step Years Ago" hopefully will be rendered obsolete come Sunday.
This reminds me of the old WWF days; Stone Cold, The Rock, Mankind - fun times 😃
If we win the flag, Tool, Third Eye "So good to see you once again, I thought that you were hiding from me"
No way, the Grand Final record from the late 80s/early 90s was more than $2.
If we take Wines we may not get Petracca or Oliver. Things turned out ok in the end.
Well done Ollie, a great season
Blowing then away would be much better on the heart but a close game has a great rewatchability factor. Put it this way if I was a Cats supporter I'd rather chuck on 2009 or 2011 over 2007 (though wouldn't it be great to have the option!)
Vindication for my years of support even while being told by my Collingwood and Carlton supporting uncle's that I would never see a Melbourne flag in my life.
It absolutely sucks. I know others won't mind so much but I (along with many others here I'm sure) have been going to the footy week in, week out to support the Demons for 33 years. I've been a member since 1989 without a miss. I was there for all the drubbings and I was there in 2018 for the first two finals when we packed the G in red and blue and the "MELBOURNE" chant rang around the ground. Now we have had our most dominant season in my life and our most dominant finals series in my life and have made the Grand Final and are going in as favourites for the first time in my life and we have been stuck watching on TV most of the season. I've dreamed of being at the G to witness the Demons raise the cup my whole life and cheer the team while they run a lap of honour. And now we face the possibility of seeing it happen while stuck to our couches and we can't even share the moment because we are stuck in lockdown with a 9pm curfew!! Of course I just want to see them win, but it won't be the same.
