Lol at the bias 😂

[Radar Detector 1,347]

Believe in your team until it’s no longer possible. Go Dees!

[Demonstone 23,336]

Gold Coast because they've never played finals and nobody else will tip them and I don't want them to feel left out.

Everybody else is going to vote for Melbourne, aren't they?

[whatwhat say what 23,418]

at this time of the year, hope springs eternal!

the mfcss will kick in with the first report of 'player x is on restricted duties as the dees return to the track'

No apparently some poor souls want a repeat of yesterday.

Thinking it will happen and wanting it to happen are very different things.

Remember when we were at or near the bottom of the ladder. Start of pre-season there would be a report of some player training the house down, and we somehow thought this would turn us into a contender the following year.

Feeling real pessimistic today apparently. 

[BDA 23,014]

Assuming we are lucky with injuries and can tweak the game plan then we're as good a chance as any

Swans will be traumatised, Pies approach will be countered, I can't where the Lions improvement will come from (although they do get the best player in the draft) and I have doubts about Freo. The doggies have defensive frailties, Richmond might surprise given the players they are trading in so they could improve

I reckon it'll either be us or Geelong.

Melbourne, closely followed by Flagmantle

I love it. Right now at the very least, we are contenders. For the best part of the past 6 decades I could not put my hand on my heart and say that we were a realistic chance. Right now I can!

As the season progresses I hope I can up the ante (like in 2021) and with hand on heart say that we are ‘serious contenders’. 🤞

Yes, and a dream is a wish your heart makes.

Yesterday was a nightmare. Don’t even think it people - you will manifest it…

It is going to come down to fitness, injuries to key personnel, the draw and a little bit of luck. Coupled to a tweaking of the game plan, bringing in a couple of new recruits and courage to reward our kids with games when they deserve them. Let’s face it we should always be willing to change up our bottom 6-8 players. We have the talent and should get enough from LJ, etc to cover our weaknesses, no more games based on past actions.

Less talk, more action.

Almost be nice if Gawn gave Jackson a ruck lesson in the Grand final next year. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Should have said "After Melbourne, who is the next most likely to win the GF". 

[Guest]

Maybe the question should’ve been “IF NOT MELBOURNE, who will be Premiers in 2023?” We would’ve had more variety in our results. 😂

Great minds etc!

As far as this topic goes might as well have just started a topic. Who do you all Barack for.

how come tassie is not on the list 🤢

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

79% are telling me to back us at $7. Sold!

[Mel Bourne 4,537]

Reddit AFL forum held this poll and there was an overwhelming amount of neutral supporters saying that Melbourne will come back strong in ‘23. Many also, tipping us for the flag. 
 

This is what life looks like without MFCSS

Look again.  You'll find them listed between Melbourne and Port Adelaide.
