Are you suggesting that we become the Bunnings of the AFL?

Here’s a couple of images that show the style of the artwork, not the actual image I would envisage though… it should be a front on of the gravestone with that hand holding the Sherin, projecting from the ground.

Can I make a suggestion as I’m unlikely to get a tatt… if anyone is short of ideas, how about a grave headstone done in the style of the old Tales From the Crypt comics (with a skeletal hand reaching out from the grave, holding a Sherin), with the inscription “Norm Smith Curse 1964 - 2021” Either above or below (or even on the Sherin), could be the Melbourne Demons Premiers 2021 line.

Yeah why not… thanks.

Mine were ordered directly from the HUN shop via the Good Friday Appeal link. I sent a message to them two days ago, but no response to that either.

I ordered two of the HUN posters ($4 job... I'm cheap) almost immediately after we won the premiership... they are yet to arrive.

Which episode of the Goons Show were they in?

It was a Goons show made for television in the 1960’s, using puppets and voiced by the Goons themselves… Sellers, Seacombe, Milligan etc. It was brilliant. There were about 26 episodes made and each ran for about 15 minutes. As for quotes, one of my favourites was: <knocking at door> “Who is it?” “It’s me!” “It can’t be. I’m in here!”

Love the Goons... I even have the complete series of Telegoons on DVD.

Based purely on the language that seemed to be spiked with a bit of humour, I was thinking it had to be either Max or Gus (or both, operating in podcast mode).

Do you mean the Haka that the players do before the game starts? That’s a fantastic touch that adds to the build up to the start of a big game.

Full replay six times.

In total agreement. In past years when my son and I were able to get down to Melbourne and attend training sessions, I always enjoyed a good chat with Saty… I expect his joy over winning the GF will be somewhat tempered by the retirement of his favourite player, Nev Jetta. I hope he and his partner, or, as he would say, “lovely lady” (which she is, by the way), are surviving the pandemic/lockdown ok, and are at least, still reading these forums.

All class!

Yes, my thoughts exactly!

The word in his ear went on for quite a while and the grins were broad.

Every time I watch the replay (5 times so far) only one question springs to mind… what did Max say to Fritta after he kicked his 6th goal? Am I the only one?

Just announced…

I was a little surprised that Gawn didn't get a free as the tackle was over the boundary line, but I think that in the wrap up, their humiliation is punishment enough.

I love how so many on Demonland whinged about the commentary being biased against the Dees, and the Dogs supporters were saying exactly the same, except they call it out as being biased against the Dogs.

I disagree with ALL of the above. The real turning point was before the opening bounce, when the Bulldogs ribbon slipped down to the bottom of the Premiership Cup’s handle as it was being moved from the back of the ute to the table. That 100 to 7 point final 40 minutes wasn’t bad icing on the cake either.

Me too… he literally flew for the ball! So sad to hear of his passing, made worse in the knowledge that he won’t get to see the Dees (or the Dogs… he had a foot in each camp) win a flag.

Yeah… so it’s such a weird thing for him to say.

Got word from where? Considering that the decision isn’t announced until one hour before the game, you must have an inside source?

I’m certain that Rob Sitch is a Demons supporter, but I’m sure I just saw him finish his American News segment on the ABC News channel, shouting “Go Dogs!!”… what’s with that??
