We rarely lost by a large margin

Bit like only being a little  bit dead  eh

We have to keep the faith.  Are we really that bad? I don't think so it was just a brain faze. The talent is there ,just have to unlock it as it comes from  above the shoulders. 

Anyone who can find a positive out of 2019 is a better man than me, or completely delusional. Maybe both.

Thanks for the laugh! Best way to get through the rest of 2019 is to laugh our way into 2020, year of the Demons! 

Paid no extra for Grand Final Guarantee - scepticism vindicated!

No finals - saved a heap of money. 

2019 - budget balanced.

Time to spend the extra money on a holiday. Far, far away.

10 positives

1- big Max Gawn is a superstar. Huge heart and despite others falling away, he had a fantastic year.  Deserves All Australian.  Will finish top 10 in the Brownlow in a team that won 5 games.  Lots of 2 votes rather than 3 votes will reduce his finish though. 

2- we found Hore, Lockhart and Petty.  Each showed me they will be part of our future. 

3- we are back at the top of the National Draft. Yes it’s a sign of bad times and we’ve had enough, but we should get Ash or Young (Suns will be gifted 1-2 combo). Either Ash or Young are very good. Prefer Ash as he is tough and quick. 

4- Sam Frost showed he can take on key forwards.  His round 23 game v Brown showed his ability to shut down key forwards. His chase down of Petruccelle was also a highlight 

5- Fritsch is a forward.  Hopefully the last 7 weeks showed Goodwin not to put Fritta in the back pocket. His round 23 mark was my Dees mark of the year 

6- Trac and Salem took a step up. Two highly rated 1st round picks. They are behind oliver and Brayshaw but showed their value.  In a tough year, they can hold their head up. 

7- Misson is gone ( Burgess has some serious fixing to do)

8- Lever and May played only a handful of games yet showed they will be very good and even better together to control the defence. Looking forward to 2020. 

9- injuries killed us in 2019.  It couldn’t be that worse in 2020 surely 

10- footy showed the inflated egos that you need to work hard and it doesn’t just happen. YOU BECOME THE HUNTED.  Lesson learned to all at MFC... I hope 

Norm.. of all D'landers!

Wash your mouth out sir, throw salt over your shoulder, 10 hail marys etc !!!

Aside from the legend that is Max Gawn, the only positive I can think of was the annual discount members get from New Balance...
