MFC Top 10 highlights 2019

[spirit of norm smith 16,449]

I’ve done this in 2017 and 2018 and was able to complete it across great games, marks, goals, tackles and team play.  But 2019 may be hard. In fact ridiculously hard. I’ll start with

1- Bailey Fritsch.  Mark round 23 above Scott Thompson.  It was our MFC mark of the year. 

2- Tom McDonald.  6 goals in 3/4 quarters versus the Blues.  He was on fire until of course he got injured. 

3- Sam Frost chase down on Petruccelle.  It was “special”. Petruccelle thought he had Frost covered. 

4- Dees win at the G versus Dockers.  Dockers were top 6 and playing good footy.  Tom McDonald last two goals to seal the win. Also watch for the 3rd quarter end to end goal.  Seven handballs. Frost run from the back 50 to also receive on firward 50 to kick to Tim Smith. It was 2018 like. Run and reward. No turnovers.  Wow amazing

O Mac’s first AFL goal should make the Top 10. Lovely sidestep and left foot snap.

Probably the most watched clip of the year, for me anyway, up there with the last 30-40 seconds of the victory against Suns.

The first quarter against Port in round 1.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Without question it was SWYL & Drysdale's biff a few days ago!

Always hard to top Goodwin's pressors but there was more anger, passion and a gnashing of teeth than i saw on the field or off it!

Well done boys.  Keep up the good work ?

The highlight is that all our achievements for this season can be written on a grain of rice.

Didn't like the coin toss much I was too uptight,

But not losing during the Bye was better than what went before and the Final Siren was a huge relief  Cheers

Yeah, Jones must have thought it was a contested marking situation. This season he has taken 0. Career 27 at 0.09% per game. Not his strength.

But he bleeds Red and Blue!!

5- Jayden Hunt.  Matchwinning goal versus the Blues. Pressure shot from 45 metres out.  

6- leading the reigning premier Eagles twice at 3/4 quarter time only to be overrun in the last quarter. Familiar story for the year.  We gave it a crack against them with an undermanned team both times. 

7- beating the Swans in Sydney. Great spirit after 3 losses to start the year. Viney, Jones, Gawn were matchwinners.  But that was about it in terms of strong wins   

8- big Max Gawn.  All Australian. Proved to be a star again.  Tried to carry the team but was so badly let done by others. 

thats the end really so now to stretch it ....

9- end of round 23. Close out a horrendous year

10- no one should be missing round 1 in 2020   

I have not included our accidental error riddled win over the Suns.  It was a shocker and tommy mcd winning point was a mess.  Nothing to celebrate there.

Tmac’s Last second poster to beat the all conquering beach boys up on the Gold Coast , what memorable last 45 seconds that was ?

Sam frosts second effort and well disguised throw to spoil Wingard in the dying seconds against the dorks 

[Supermercado 2,797]

Marty Hore vs Gold Coast. We should have surrendered for 2019 the next morning.

[spirit of norm smith 16,449]

Agree Marty Hore kicking the goal to level scores v GC Suns was worthy of a Top 10 nomination. 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,821]

Beating the Swans at the SCG was a good highlight for me.  Pretty much the last of our hoodoos gone (just that one day in September left) and came at a time in our season when we thought at the time that there might still have been some life left in it.  I particularly like the clutch goal which Weid kicked from around 50m in the last quarter to steady us.  Preuss's marking and goal kicking provided some good highlights earlier in the game.

Fritta's move back to the forward line, Hunt's forward line form and T Mac's couple of weeks purple patch were good.  Joel Smith and AVB provided some nice individual highlights early in the preseason until respectively writing off their season's through injury.

Big Max provided almost weekly highlights with his strong pack marking throughout the season and his three goals and dominance against North in Rd 23 was a nice way to finish off the season from an individual player perspective.

The final siren sounding in the GF will be my highligh.

Perhaps overshadowed by the 10, 9, 8.., countdown on news years eve.

Bring on next year.

Celebrating each of our wins twice?

[nosoupforme 3,085]

Wins over the Suns, Blues and Dockers .Elated to win and it makes the week better. 

Omac''s first goal as  l was chewing gum  and inhaled  to cheer,  literally started to choke . fair dinkum I thought l wasn't going die.

I recovered to tell the story..

[John Demonic 5,792]

I missed many of these junk time highlights including Omacs goal, by turning off at half time.

The way the boy's handled the exit interviews, must have been pretty harsh and uncompromising  in that room but not a negative response from any of the team members. We no longer leak like a sieve or are emotionally immature at least in the FD.

Yep it was but l was stunned by his involvement and something actually went his way. The right place at the right time.
