I am looking forward to -

Fitter, more sustained pressure

Tougher, be the hunters, take no prisoners

Smarter, kick long when it’s on, lower the eyes or kick sideways to open space and no more loopy handballs which ar 50/50 at best. Blood the youngsters.

 We blooded Sparrow, JJ, LJ, Kozzie, Riv and Bowey over a two year period and won a Granny we need to be more daring and don’t carry injured players.

    We will learn to win at the G more often than this season.

    Clarry & Trac will again knock each other out of the Brownlow.

    We will bounce back and win the GF.

    You reckon they’ll move the MCG to Alice Springs just for a weekend?

    3. One positive - we will finally win the free kick count against Footscray.

    We won the free kick count 19-13 in last year's Grand Final, just in case you missed it.

    Getting back on track, I’m sure we can bank on ourselves pulling our hair out at some point when the CS haven’t evolved…

    either our list and composition changes drastically or we will have to adapt the game style

    1. Clarry will be niggled, poked, pushed, held, gouged and punched every week with no protection from the umpires.

    2.  The score review system will be crap again.

    3. We will be motivated by this year and will win.

    3. Last round interstate

    Since 1998 we've been the designated home team in the final round just 7 out of a possible 25 times.

    Since 1998 we've travelled just once interstate in round 1 (in fairness)

    The sun will come up.

    Gil will be gone from the AFL.

    There will be no announcement on our home. 

    The second of these is looking shaky.

    1. Charlie Spargo has a breakout season and is talked about as the next Brent Harvey.

    2. Jacob Van Rooyen is mispronounced by a commentator during a huge pack mark... Rooyening the moment.

    3. Christian Petracca will get the most Brownlow votes but will not be eligible due to suspension for bumping Patrick Cripps.

    1. De Going Nowhere will be locked up in a jail somewhere in Asia
    2. Colinwood will be filthy that they are paying 350k for Grundy to finish top five in the Bluey and win the Norm Smith
    3. Eddie and Jeff will propose a break-away Super League comp for white men only.

    3. Jake Melksham will be sh*t-canned on DL.

    But you know what… I don’t care.
    That he’s being sh*t-canned on DL means he’s with us for another year and that he’s with us for another year means the usual pot-shotters will be most aggrieved. And this amuses me no end. 😁

    We are talking 2023 season. If he is still there then God help us as the AFL will have probably imploded.

    Not saying it is likely to happen but what if neither club could come up with a deal we like?

    Well it is a possibility. I just feel like deals usually get done these days but who knows.

    Dees will miss the top 8.

    I’ve actually thought this too. I just don’t think Goody will change enough and with the looming exit of Yze and possibly Mark Williams, the incoming coaches will probably not feel comfortable in challenging him.

    1. Kozzy, finally will take Mark of the Year (century) on top of Luke Jackson's head in R1 trip to Perth (theatre);

    2. Oliver or Petracca to win the Brownlow, both either way, they will finish either 1, 2 in the count; &

    3. Dees to bounce back and beat the Blues in a thriller in the GF (just have a feeling about them?🤷‍♂️).

    Agree with both points. Also, I think it’s fair to suggest that the improvement of the sides around us seems to be quickly surpassing the plateaued side we presented week-in-week-out (before I get shouted down by other posters, I do acknowledge the injuries we also carried).

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
