This time last Week…..
Was just a little bit worried Bont was going to seriously get hold of us.

Welcome to Demonland: Bayley Fritsch
Having watched the game a few times now, Frita, with a bit of extra luck, could have kicked eight. Wow wee!

Prediction: We will have won the most VFL / AFL premierships by the end of this decade.
I'm taking it one premiership at a time.

2022 Fixture - We are the Hard Draw!
I would be happy playing Jeelong at Kardinia twice next year. Eight easy points against the wooden spooner.

My waiting for fulfilment is over.

Demon Bonanza on Fox Footy this Weekend
I've had to park the Rangy in the carport so I can store all the tapes in the garage.

Wilson’s Big Call
I met Clyde Laidlaw 10 years ago at a grand final function - he was the guest speaker. He was in his 70's then and was completely wonderful. Not many get to be introduced as "a Melbourne premiership player" and fettered like he was that day. BBB is now 'one of us'. Part of 22 that broke the dam wall. Play his cards right, he'll never have to work another day in his life. And forever, he'll be introduced as a Melbourne premiership player. What's that worth? I'd give my executive washroom up for that.

It's Home
He's gone home to his parents together with a note from the football club.

"Luke Jackson won't make it as a ruckman" Dwayne Russell 3/12/20
"In defence of Dwayne a little the segment was based on Leppitsch saying rucks are the least valuable position on the ground." Wow. . . . just wow. Anyone who saw Farmer, Stephen Michael and Nichols said they were the best footballers in their respective sides by a mile. I've seen Ditterich, Dempsey, Madden, Cox, Stynes and now Gawn. All were brilliant and turned games regularly with their tap work, marking, positioning "in the hole" and goal kicking. Flags are generally not won by sides that do not have an A grade ruck. I could easily argue that outside of Dusty, Big Nank is Richmond's most valuable player.

"Luke Jackson won't make it as a ruckman" Dwayne Russell 3/12/20
Sometimes I think I live in a parallel universe where physics are different and sh&t operates in reverse. Jimmy invented this role 35 years ago.

Your favourite grand final photo
No wonder the Doggies didn't want to go near him.

When did the tears start watching the grand final?
When Brian Taylor muttered the immortal words, "Welcome to the Seven Network's coverage of the 2021 AFL Grand Final".
-
Proved them wrong
Salad dodger Brian Taylor hates us. You could hear the despise in his voice all year. Not sure he's come to terms with the win yet. (Either have I to be fair.)
-
Proved them wrong
Deliberate. 50 metres.

Demons Salary Cap Crunch
For a minute I was worried . . . then realised this is the usual brain-fart diatribe from the mindless Kane Cornfake. I am now 100 percent confident we are paying 92.5 percent of our cap for the next 10 years.

Your favourite grand final photo
Answer: "Because I wouldn't get a game at Melbourne." The only thing I was 100 percent sure of on Saturday was that Hannan would go missing. (I was only 99 percent sure we would win by 10 goals.)

3 goals in 32 seconds - the quickest 3 goals ever?
Not as quick as me.

Retrospective - How close was Clarry going to the Blues?
Carlton . . . "we're planning on building our defence around OMac" Clarry . . . "yeah nah".

Gary Ayres Player of the Finals
Who won the most helpful cutting up the oranges award?

Is Gawn the best player we have ever had?
It's Peter Keenan.

What they're saying at Whitten Oval.
Up there with Tex Walker booking an extra seat on the flight back to Adelaide with the 2017 premiership cup.

The place to say thank you to anyone who has made a contribution to the Demons over the journey to our 13th. To Bartlett, Jackson and Roos - thank you for beginning the most recent restoration project and helping to restore dignity to the greatest sporting organisation in the world.

GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs
Hey EO . . . he's one of us remember. And anyone that can get Boyd and Schache to play well in finals has got to have something going for him.

Motivational speech.
"Boys, I love youse. You love each other. You've prepared the whole season, since you arrived at the club, and for most of you, all your lives. You have all the skills and ability to win this today. They'll come at you, but we have the poise and importantly, the game style that's going to stand up today. No one got us this season. Our record against the top teams speaks for itself. We know we dropped the ball in round 19 against this mob. But we've been through that tape together and we've been working to rectify some of the small errors that cost us that day. You all know what I'm talking about. Our training has been brilliant and our game style is burnt into your brains. If you do the first thing that comes into your brain today, particularly in the first 15 minutes, you'll be right. The game will settle after that and it'll be just another tough game against an opponent who we know we can beat and beat well. Don't worry about the umpiring, careful with your man-on-man work . . . no 50 metre penalties today. Run straight at the ball when it's your turn and hold your positional structures when the ball is being controlled. You know how to do that better than any team ever to play this game. We all know it works and you are the best exponents in the comp. You're reinventing how the game is played. Today is just the icing on the cake. I absolutely know you can pull this off today, you know what's got to be done better than me. I'll be on the boundary, riding every bump, tackle, handball, kick and goal with you. I'm proud of everyone of you. Let's go and hunt these bast^&ds Boys."
