Time for a shout out to the Club for the fantastic stuff they are putting on the MFC site at the moment.

And a special shout out to Jack, Tom and Max who have been front and centre of so many thrashings and so much pain as we bottomed and then rebuilt.  What a mighty effort to stay the distance when it would have been so much easier to just take easier options.  Jack's bit on the MFC site is a huge insight into the frustrations and hurt the players endured and make the "the players don't care" comments just so inappropriate.

And of course to JT, to hear his comments on the strain of watching your picks run around and wondering if you'll have a job in future just as telling.  Of course that applies to all the FD staff.  What a brutal business.

    Max and Gawn there from when Roos/PJ arrived

     ......... and don't forget Jonesy and Jetts, who both stayed the course during the tough times, but also suffered the disappointment of not having a Premiership Medal to show for their sacrifices.

    What ‘they’ have done in 7 years is utterly staggering. Documentary worthy. 30 for 30 type stuff

    Great call.

    Over the journey I have been a big critic of the club's coms and fan engagement - and in particular the lack of sort of content you note.

    But huge credit where it is due - they have been terrific this season, particularly the last third of it and post grand final. Brilliant.

    And i'll bet London to a brick that the traffic to the MFC has had huge spike - which is awesome for the sponsors.

    By the round one 2022, the All the GF goals video will have been watched more often than the Squid Game and Haynes paints will be synonymous with perfection.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
