Cam "the people's second forward" Pedersen. Chris Dawes needs to work his way back into this team.

Sure does. Cam gave so much...not just "making a contest" that Dawes gets some praise for, but actually winning some, and kicking goals.

Absolutely no room for Dawes at the moment.

Great to see one of my boys on TV celebrating the win. Two work for the club and I'm proud beyond belief of both.

They'll kill me for this post if they see it, but good show guys.

All credit to the coaches. After 3 heavy matches and a humiliating loss last week, to get the team up for this, believing in themselves, and staying the course under a couple of serious Dogs' challenges ... massive.

Also, a special mention goes out to the MFC players who are regularly pilloried on this site by all and sundry ... well done.

Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Toumpas ... nice work gents.

Gutsy as hell from start to finish. Never lay down. Arrested momentum when we needed to.

Great performances everywhere although Toump definitely the highlight for me, Fitz not far behind and Grimes even with his usual clanger or two was solid. Jones and Vanders enormous. Vince's best game of the year. Howe utilised his strengths and was dangerous. Garlett added his usual sprinkles of brilliance. Little doubt now that Pedersen is ahead of Dawes. Brayshaw showed glimpses of true class.

Votes could go to almost anyone this week.

The "ice" Berg was very good today. 29 disposals and 11 tackles. Outstanding get MFC

Brayshaw looked great today.

Vandenberg is a big kid, exactly what we needed in the middle after last year.

Bernie Vince ability to kick both sides of the body, and push forward - is invaluable.

MFC looked promising today.

To all those who where in the doom and gloom tread slashing their wrist, don't post on this tread, like i said there how we played in the last three rounds against the best three teams from the last three years, was not the real reflection of this season, when we have played teams around our level, we are 3 and 2,we where never going to beat Sydney freeo and hawthorne, it was just bad luck they where back to back to back.

Vandenberg - 29 touches and 11 tackles..... Beast.

Hogan - star - nothing more to be said.

Brayshaw - work rate in the last quarter ŵas immense.

Both vandenBerg and Brayshaw looked absolutely stuffed but fought on and on.

No doubt, Pedo > Dawes.

I didn't see the whole game but it looks like Spencer had a good one.

Monty on fan footy gave him the star "Set up the Dee win by engineering a big clearance advantage... 40 hit outs... also 12 disposals and 8 tackles." Those tackle numbers have been consistent since he's been in the side (7.6 per game).

I commented earlier on Specer's ability and will to follow up after a clearance - did it several times .. Haven't seen a MFC ruck an do that for a long long time.

Great team effort. All the regular villians did well.

The difference is that we played completely differently today though, we actually gave a stuff

Very impressed with spencer and fitzy today. If they can play like that more often they're in the 22.

Pedersen is so far ahead of dawes at the moment.

Toump showed a bit which was great.

Vandenberg is a truely great find, does just about everything well.

Hogan should finally get his nomination after today, very impressive. going to be scary when he fills out even further.

Great all round performance, go dees!

Edit. The where's your bloke - on the bench line.

Great comeback, that would have shut Murphy up.

Yu bloody beauty. Is anyone gonna give Spencer any credit today? Won about 5 clearances by himself in a row in the 1st or 2nd quarter. He's still rough, but he's come on leaps and bounds. What a sweet feeling that win was. Bloody Vanders and Gus. What ripper games. And Pedo was almost unbeatable one on one.

Edit. Fitzy's game was magnificent. And Toumpas made a few silly errors, but great to see him getting involved.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
