We went from being so hot and cold in games to winning 18 straight qtrs. Shout out to Goody and his coaches, they've done something right.

Best % in the league. Confidence is sky high and climbing.

Lever a genius

Brayshaw looking like a superstar

Viney dominant

Tim Bull Smith a massive boost to the side, hes a machine

Hogan is a SUPERSTAR

Gawn may be the greatest tap ruckman of all time

Spargo the terrier never stops going

Hibberd magnificent

Oliver a god

Could go on and on and on..............

What a ripper game.  Can't remember such play from the MFC!!!

Even in your day Barrie I can’t remember such dominance ...... but you won a flag and these guys haven’t ...... yet!  That is their challenge.

Best game ive seen us play for a long, long time.

 

All round. Ball movement. Pressure. Attacking.

 

Love it.

 

The fact we still get zero recognition makes it all the better. Go Dee's!

Some low scores this round. Dogs 58, Bris Layups 49, Boos 45. Ugly slogging football.

In a game like ours, where it's not a slog, a superior player can really show off his wares. It's marvellous and a joy to see players like Gus, like Lewis, kids like Spargo, show how they know where to go and what to do with the ball when they get it. Hogan with his rapid fire hands. That's football.

Last time the MFC played Football like this was 1987, when we came home on a huge emotional wave. 

When the emotion and belief is front and centre, it’s mighty hard to stop. 

The players will now believe, as long as they keep working. 

Job is far from done.

Next week we will win too against the dogs and the reason I know that is because it’s Jones’s 250 game and if anyone deserves a win it’s him. 

Go dees

Big game next week.

Chunk's 250th, but also because thanks to the AFL scheduling team, Dogs have a 7.5 day break and we have a 5.5 day break.

26 degree heat and 5 day break = very light week on the track.

Bull Smith was great today! Having watched him go from VFL to playing good footy at AFL level gives me so much happiness

So glad my kids can hang over the fence as they belt out the song.

How sweet it is. 

There's a mouldy oldie song called "Teach Your Children Well". Just came to mind for some reason ...

One of the pleasing things of the last few weeks has been the switching of play and our handballing is 5-10 meters out of contests as we are all not rushing in.

NO EXCUSES!  Just kill from the opening bounce.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
