2021 Player Reviews: #22 Aaron Vandenberg
Article in the HS said that he’s decided to focus on his career rather than chase a spot at another AFL club.

Premiership DVD and victory pack
The wording’s a bit ambiguous but I think you’re right.

Premiership DVD and victory pack
Thank you. Am I right that this is the only product out there at the moment where EVERYTHING is in HD?

The Melbourne Cup
Did someone say Melbourne Cup?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding it LH, but surely you shouldn't need to re-order anything, and the items not shipped first time around will be sent when they're available. The 'not available' would only apply to new orders. Or have they refunded you?

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Guys, I'm filing this news story from the frontlines of the war zone. There's a ceasefire in place at the moment, but the stereo could start up again any minute now. Tensions are high. As a former demon, Mitch Hannan was the player who negotiated the peace treaty that prevented all-out war. They're calling it the Treaty of Northbridge. But I've noticed several MFC players going back to the ATM, and I think we might be bribing our way into another nightclub. Will try to report more later if it's not too dangerous.

The Grand Final Rematch
Haven't you heard? We sang a song they like, and the Dogs are furious! Can't see us beating them until we apologise. Dogs by 81 points.

Dees Back on the Track
Scabs? I doubt Picket(t) will let them through. I'll see myself out...

Robbo’s Top 50 2021
Yep. One-third of his goals for the year were kicked in round 22 and beyond. 7 - 1 - 4 - 2 - 6 Brilliant return at the business end of the season but not the 16th best player in the comp.

Hyphenated Names
As far as I know, Ivor Warne-Smith's 2 medals are still missing. The family made a public appeal for them a few years back.

Help needed - GF badges
I've merged this thread with an earlier one started by a WCE fan who was at the GF and is looking for the Dees corresponding to his / her badges. See the opening post above yours.

Merch/Memorabilia
No-one's being rude. Just pointing out that getting a package quickly from Auspost these days is the exception, not the rule. It's been 8.5 business days since the GF - nothing was ever going to arrive this quickly. At some point in the past few years, Auspost basically decided they weren't going to do their core business anymore. They're like a restaurant that doesn't do meals.

Premiership DVD and victory pack
You’re all getting mixed up between the GF DVD and the Victory Pack; the latter has all MFC finals, not just the GF, and the alternate commentary. https://www.dvdland.com.au/products/AFL-Premiers-%2d-2021-Victory-Pack.html

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I've moved discussion about the bar owner to a separate thread. Let's keep this one focussed on our glorious triumph 🏆

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
I wish I had something more meaningful to contribute to this wonderful thread but I'm still a bit stunned and lost for words. After the Prelim win, I lamented only half-jokingly to friends that we'd produced our best a week early. Things ran hot and we were scintillating. To back it up in the GF with what many are calling the most devastating 45 minutes of footy in finals history beggars belief. We could win the next 10 flags but we're unlikely to see anything like that ever again.

The 2021 Backline
Did what they’ve done all year - kept the opposition to 10 goals. We win the game. Rinse. Repeat.

Who will be our unsung Grand Final hero?
Max Gawn. I get the feeling he's due for a breakout game.

A flag and more for Jack Trengove
It's been a massive few days for former MFC skipper Jack Trengove. Won the Keith Sims OAM Medal (the Brownlow equivalent) in the Adelaide Football League on Thursday night. He was then BOG in a premiership victory as his Prince Alfred Old Collegians beat Payneham Norwood Union in the Div 1 Grand Final on the weekend. Said it's the most enjoyable season of football he's ever played. Congrats Trenners!

POSTGAME: PF vs Geelong
Anyone checked in on Will Schofield this morning? Poor bloke has probably got a bunch of fresh new mental scars to deal with.

TICKETING: GF vs Bulldogs
Hello everybody, first time poster, but I'm a massive fan of Aussie rules and especially the Melbourne Demons team. I'd really like to go to the play-offs this weekend if you can lend me a membership. I promise to cheer loudly and make sure the ref doesn't cheat for Geelong Cats. Go Melbourne Demons AFL !!

Gus & Gawney Podcast - special guest Simon Goodwin
Outside of a handful of Demonlanders, it's not a view shared by anyone in the football world. I've never seen a single criticism by anyone of note that Viney's a limited player, or over-rated, or a one-dimensional 'rugby player'. Not once. I do, however, remember when our preliminary final opponent - ie a good club - tried to poach him not that long ago. He's played under 3 coaches (Neeld for just his debut year) One coach gave him a b&f. The other has him finishing 2nd or 3rd in every year since, bar one when he was injured. That's a lot of people supposedly 'blinded by love'.

POSTGAME: QF vs Brisbane
Looking at the rules and regulations to get into Perth, and it says military personnel can get an exemption. In completely unrelated news, I've just joined the army!
