dazzle - just saw this now 2 year old post.  We have all had a lot more time to assess Josh both as an opponent in the 21 GF, throughout 22 at the Dogs and now a bit closer in 23.  Have you anything to add or change about your views on his approach to the game and the contest?  Can he really make the next step?  
Thanks in anticipation. 
PS I do realise that this is a Mitch Hannan thread. 

He may be needed!

    Poor fella. Did you know that in some ACL surgeries, they use a dead persons achilles tendon to replace the ACL. Once healed it’s reported to be 150% stronger than it was pre-injury. 

    Difficult to know if this a serious post because of the, ahem, reputation of the poster. However, if it is true, I'm interested in the administrative mechanisms. Put simply, does the achilles tendon come from a registered organ donor? If so, imagine the marketing campaign..."Sign up for organ donation and one day a part of you may be playing on the MCG".

    I am a registered organ donor and if my achilles tendon gets used that way, I'd be most pleased. Even if it's a Collingwood player.

    The Ox had that in one of his ACL surgeries - probably the last. I remember him being interviewed sometime after and saying he had something from a cadaver in his knee and how he found it unnerving.

    I thought it through. I was initially going to say "Except if it's a Collingwood player". But my ego is too great. I'd rather be playing on the MCG than not.

    Maybe he's got dodgy achilles tendons OD, in which case transplanting them into a Collingwood player makes perfect sense.

    I hope he is able to get back on the field, but even if retirement becomes the only option, he will still be a very good looking friendly young man with a habit of self-development, a pile of money and at least one magic moment.

    How spine-tingling is that roar when he nails it? So good. ❤️😍

    Grass wasn’t greener out west.

    It's certainly not at the moment Gorgoroth. No grass at all in fact. Probably why the Casey game will be at Box Hill.

    Also, you never had the same sorts of roars in the 2021 finals because most of the real fans weren't there.

    This week's medical learnings on Demonland:

    A) The Lisfranc injury was named after some French general whose solution was to amputate half the foot. 

    B) The Persian army invented high heels to save their cavalrymen from gruesome stirrup injuries. 

    C) Future MFC F/S captain George Gawn may one day take the field with a portion of my ankle. 

    What a website. I will endeavor to stop wearing high heels to give George the most robust tendon possible. 

     

    Over on Carringbush Central

    Edit/ those jokes were too easy a crack. I should be better.

    He played 9 games for us in his final year. He was out of contract and knew he was surplus. He got 3 years, 26 games and played in a grand final with the Doggies.

    Not everyone is a superstar. Considering he was a mature aged recruit I would say he has had a good career.

    Cheers for the goal Hannan. I will never forget it.

    Yep. Was in that crowd behind the goals that night. Never forget it. Had great pleasure pointing the Geelong fans to the exit, payback for the smug aholes in round 1 that same year. Good luck Mitch, you have a moment in Demon history.

    I was behind him, so we knew as soon as it left his boot. Amazing.

    Loved his first year with us, kicking freak one touch snaps in the goal square. Farewell Mitch.

    Agree, surplus to requirements.

    Always loved Mitch. A proper footballer. Had an ability to just throw the ball onto the boot and find the goal. Forever a Dees legend IMO for THAT goal. 

  • Quote

    He had too many limitation and was never going to be anything other than depth in our premiership year, he was taking up Fritsch's position on the forward line without the return.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
