    I spoke to a friend the other day who had helped John Northey in his coaching days. He had dealt with Fagan and recently bumped into him while visiting Tassie. He asked how Cam Bruce was doing. Fagan replied really well; he might be ready to take over when I'm done. Why not approach Cam to bring him back to Demonland. Who knows he might be ready to tep up when Goody's done.

    Derksen and Grantfield means we are building our tall backs and forwards. JVR Turner Jefferson Petty Adam means surely someone is going to come good
  3. Backs: Curtin, Leake Mids; Sanders, Windsor Forwards: Caddy, Watson Rucks: Read Who do we want for pick 6. A back, a mid, or a forward.
  4. JVR and Friesche should be back next week
  5. Given our loss of Petty and the struggle to find a consistent CHF, I believe we should centre on Petracca to play the role. He marks above his height, his power running, and given the role of running from the centre to the half forward line with his endurance, would run most Centre Half Backs off their feet.
  6. The whole forward line stats are appalling : Pickett 4 Melksham 10 Spargo 11 Brown 11 ANB 12 Woewoden12 Woewoden is understandable, but the others are not
  7. the saints layer man on man going into our forward line which didn't leave room for short passing
  8. The untold story of our second half year fade outs was the growing injury list. By the Lions loss injuries were substantial
  9. Can't say that with Freeo. We were going to insist on 7 or under
  10. What a force across the AFL for the next few years. Gawn and Grundie, "The Gee Force" or "the Gee Dees" heading the 'awesome foursome', Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney. The excitement is arising, 2021 reawakening

    I like it
  12. Friend, sounds like you were there as I was. Your memory perhaps a little better than mine. I do recall the final win being against the Blues at Princes Park (so called in those days) and returning home believing we were well on track for another flag. 8 or 10? I don't argue. I googled the Demons 1965 season to attempt to keep the facts accurate. It records 10 strait wins, and 8 losses. I checked the story with an ex-demon player of that era, who in fact went to South with Norm Smith. I shared his story. but the real story is the way the year panned out. A string of wins 8 or 10 in a row and a dramatic change of fortune. You're the historian, why don't you have the google entry changed. I'm a little less tied to the exact facts, just the sense of similarity. All part of the demon story. Knowing the story with it many facets strengths that bond. Bring on the new chapter 2023. GO DEES
  13. Someone stood on his foot in the closing stage of the previous game. One of those unavoidable happenings. There is a chance that it could have happened to anyone and they would most likely not have played
