Is it possible to have happiness as a MFC supporter? We have spent 55 years thoroughly invested in unhappiness.

Unfortunately the club has inflicted unhappiness for 55 years  and we have history of dropping these games to teams below us...

    Mitch Brown, Petty and Hibbo in the squad.

    I’d guess...

     

    In: Petty & Hibberd/M.Brown

    Out: May & Fritta 

     

    I hope..

    In: Petty & Hibberd 

    Out: May & Fritta 

    *Petty to start Fwd, unlikely but Hawks talls don’t require him up back

    Looks like Petty for May

    Hibbo for Jetta

    M Brown for Fritsch. 
     

    Brown trained with the forwards, Petty, Hibbo with the backs.

    So is Jetta training as well?

    I assume that probably means 22 plus sub... any indication as to who the sub might be?

    Nah, don’t think you can tell from the session as they all do stuff in groups, so sub likely just goes to group where he would usually play.

    I can’t shake the feeling this week is a danger game, it has all the hallmarks of a team getting ahead of themselves with one eye on next week against the tigers. 

    I hope whatever is going on at the club the only focus is getting the 4 points against the Hawks. Adelaide this year have shown that if you have high work ethic and belief any team can win on the day. 

    Rewatched the replay of the games against Saints and GWS over the last week. Both were a lot closer than we acknowledge on here. The absence of Fritsch really worries me as he was the catalyse for the come backs in both games, and we will really miss May. 
     

    It is important we win and win well. In at least two games so far we have been ahead by more than 30 points before three quarter time and failed to go on with it. We need to start burying opponents as we regularly did in 2018. We so far seem to lack the killer instinct.

    Hibbo in for Jetta then.

    The right move. We need Hibbo in the team,  its possible that Nev needs a freshen up, his form hasn't been bad.

    Sparrow or Jordan perhaps?

    Of those two, I'd assume Sparrow, simply because Jordon is a tackling machine.

    I like bringing both Petty and Hibberd. I was worried that bringing in Petty which sounds deserved defensively does not balance the amount of attack from the back half we get from Maysie as well. Whilst Jetta has not been bad he has just been hanging on and Hibbo coming in reinforces the we need to look at ways to continually get better. Brown for Fritta is like for like but I would based on last week and him not playing the Fritta role push Melksham back to medisub.

    I was at that infamous match.

    Even if we had won, we would have been thrashed by Carlton in the GF the following week.

    I would love to be able to get one binman. I am in1b but my clinic tells me not to get excited before June/ July. My best hope is that a lot of people get scared off. I would have two if I thought it would prevent MFCSS!

    you are not alone, od. my 98yo mil in nursing home is 1a and has no idea when she will get it. same for rest of nursing home.

    i'm 1b. at least my gp has me on wait list but no idea when he will get supply

    fortunately there's no covid out and about (yet)......

    A bit of a prediction..... Angus Brayshaw who is finding form and fitness after an interrupted preseason to be BOG in a sterling performance that reminds everyone why he went at pick 3 in the draft.

    I have heaps of support for Angus Brayshaw - on song, he is a terrific footballer, capable of really effective excusions into the forward line and finding (almost the only one onfield for us in recent years) that space to do that damage to an opposition.

    Highly rated but a midfielder he will always be - Clarry and Viney need  to realise he has always been the source of our outside run and/or carry solution that we have looked tirelessly for through the draft. One day, the penny will drop.

    Coincidently just ran past Goschs and only Big Benny Brown was on the track having set shots from outside 50 in a #79 disco Casey jumper. 

    That means he's fair dinkum, then. Outside 50s rehearsals, like the sound of that effort. Onyer, Benny!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
