So the new successful structure is 2 ruckmen and a tall forward line. 

And thank god. I hope this "real footy" thing takes off instead of pressure madness because I love the way West Coast play. They smacked us last week too, so to see them win takes the edge off a bit.

The last 3 premierships have been won by a Clarkson protege.  The previous 3 by Clarkson himself. 

Not only is Clarkson a master coach he is a master at training coaches.  Reckon he wore a wry smile on the siren.

We're going to just have to break that run then ;)

How's the Collingwood cheer squad feeling right now about that banner...

Actually genuinely feel sorry for them with that, no bigger day that it could’ve gone wrong for them.

And now delisted. ?

Probably one of the footy department's few missteps over the last few years. Still, the same draft they brilliantly traded up to secure Oliver before Parish, so these things work out in the end. 

How do you figure that.  We got it right.

We got the trade up to get Oliver right but Howe for Kennedy wrong. That’s what he’s saying.

The Pies seem to have this history of getting great deals from us, can we please turn one back around on the them!

Anyway for now the tears of the Collingwood players will do nicely!

Deserved winners, were the team who held their form most consistently through the year. Makes getting some extra marking power over the off season a smart move for the Dees. 

Yes, thought their overall marking power was the difference

Really thought I'd be ambivalent today but soon as the pies got ahead my hatred for them kicked in.

I really hoped they'd lose a close one and it all came true.

That eagles team song is an abomination.

Hope we get to sing a real song next year.

Yes. That song is awful

I know what hes saying... what I'm saying is, to change a culture out, to build a fresh one,,,  a club has to cut strings with many experienced players... to change things.

I put Howe in that basket.  No slight on Howe...  but it was a plus for us, to show balls to start making hard decisions.  The club had to grow its own balls, instead of leaning on the MCG, and all that stuff.

 

It had to again when we rid ourselves of the less committed types, who weren't goers... to the displeasure of many supporters.  But we did, and look at the new-way we attack the contests, in this 2018 year.

... it's a breath of fresh air in the lungs of a stuffy old Mfclub.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
