To be an arrogant fan?
The entomology of arrogant is the Latin 'arrogare'. It means ‘claiming for oneself’. Many people are perceived to be arrogant, for example, by claiming for themselves excessive knowledge or wisdom that is not theirs to claim. Most premierships are won with the assistance of external influences. I have written about this elsewhere on Demonland. Recent examples include West Coast (basically granted a state side in the 1990s), Brisbane (picked the eyes out of Fitzroy), Hawthorn (tanked) and Geelong (father/son before the rules were changed). We shouldn’t forget that we were given a hand-up in 2013 by the AFL when we had shot-off both our feet. We didn't get here totally under our own steam. Arrogance would be thinking we did.

Cam Pedersen still going strong
Still love him. What a wonderful emergency sub (or whatever they're called) he would have been?

Welcome to Demonland: Luke Dunstan
They recruit Kent and get rid of Dunstan. No wonder they don't win premierships.

AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURS
Vin Catoggio was a legend. Once asked to describe the best goal he ever kicked and he said something like this: The ball came down into the goal square, I flew for the mark but spilt it. I got to my feet, baulked, ducked, wrong footed, sold the dummy and put it through. Only thing, I was the only player in the square at the time.

2022 Crowd Traditions
Back in 1979, we did a number on Richmond at the MCG. After the game, supporters and cheer squad members, probably a hundred of us, gathered on the ground at the entrance to the player's race, and sang the following song: Hooray for Richmond, Hooray at last, Hooray for Richmond, For they're the horse's a&%e (rhymes with 'last'). Don't be mistaken, Don't be misled, They're not the horse's a&%e, They're the horse's head. Does anyone remember this or was at the ground that day?

How far off were we from a perfect 2021?
I just got off the blower with another D'lander. Synchronistically, we spend quite a bit of time wondering if we could go through 2022 undefeated. It would give us 32 wins on the trot. It's not beyond the realms of possibility.
