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.

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. 

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

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

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. 

New blood on every line

Players injured must return through VFL

Defence + contest + speed of ball= success.

We can bank on Luke Jackson in *insert colours*

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.

You missed Joel Smith will be [censored] canned as well *

 

*as long as he plays seniors .. playing ressies DL seems to think he will be the next Garry Ablett Senior if we played him forward....

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 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.
