And just as I was starting to think the MFC is full on Nancy boys who need their Mums.

Someone stands up and does something that makes me proud to be a supporter.

    Excellent role model behaviour for young Hogan. I hope we can see them operating up forward together.

    Unfortunately Dockett 32 I think you are going to see Hogan play quite a few games before it happens.

    After the last couple of weeks and considering St Kilda's potential side for the first game I have a strange feeling.

    I actually feel confident we can win this game.

    Now it may all come tumbling down if the Hawks hand out the usual thrashing on the weekend.

    But it is a strange feeling.

    It is actually so long ago since I had this feeling I cannot remember when it was.

    I suspect early in 2011.

    I can handle the feeling Just please let it be the real thing on Saturday evening 22nd March.

    I am worried about injuries, as we never ever seem to have anything like our best list available at the start of a season and I don't want to add to that.

    The team for this weekend will tell us more Redleg.

    I think you can count out Clark, Tapscott, Jamar but the last two are no big loss and Clark has played so infrequently and made no contribution so far in 2014 that I don't think about him.

    Aside from Dawes and Viney the others I don't see as any more than fill in players.

    IMO two weeks out I think we will have a good team in that should be able to account for the saints.

    He is the Reverend because of his contacts with her upstairs R & B.

    I am sure the message will have been passed on by now.

    Interesting article on the MFC site Redleg on injuries, I would put up a link if I knew how!

    Some time ago my father told me that donkeys never get injured but fast horses do regularly.

    I see Pedersen will be back for the hawthorn game.

    From the article "“Mitch is tracking through his rehab and he’s going pretty well. He’s just ticking off his running sessions."

    What does that mean?

    I have no idea when he will be back?

    Yes bb

    interesting to see this description "Small utility Luke Tapscott"

    I have always wondered what his position

    was, it seems the MFC are not sure either.

    Small as in Sherman v T34 !! Lol

    I Agree but in spite of my best efforts to understand the upgrading process Redleg the MFC never ceases to catch me out.

    e.g. last year they upgraded Magner and then never played him.

    So I will believe it when it happens

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
