So true.

That's what I'll be reading about in tomorrows papers.

Sitting in the stands on Saturday night we were refelcting on how blessed we now our to turn up each week and watch the talent before our eyes and the passison within the team/fans/club....etc.

Thanks MFC.  Thanks Kysiah and friends(trac, max, Oliver...........)

Thinking about this on the weekend. Thinking about all those lifelong supporters that passed away before the 21 Granny and recent success,  and how blessed the rest of us are to watch our team with all its stars. I said to my boys recently that they need to appreciate and enjoy this period because this is a special time to be a lifelong Demon supporter.

    Can be injected into the midfield where he can cause the opposition a lot of problems.  So he's not a one dimensional player

    Sensational - more good news to come re Chandler, JJ….Lamb and Taylor should be knighted .

    Is that what you are hoping or you have intel?

    Chandler's a key re-signing for our future forward line.

    Now we can go to the G for the rest of the season and genuinely enjoy Kozzie's talents with the comfort of knowing that he's ours for many a year.

    He thinks he knows everything that jerk. I hope he's held to account on one of his many forums.

    If he went, I was going to pretend to be all stoic and whatever about it, but in reality I would 100% have cried and I don't think I've done that about a player leaving, ever.

    Just so happy now!

    I mean, just look at him:

    Take a bow Tim Lamb, really good work, especially getting it done before mid season when the angst on this site would have been at nuclear waste levels..

    Brilliant news, I happier now than I have been after our last couple of wins. 
    Have to admit when he didn’t sign before the start of the season I was concerned. 
    He’s just such a joy to watch. I think those on here that put his below par form leading into this weekend might have been on the money thinking it was contract related. His performance and body language on Saturday certainly looked more like the Kossie we know and love. 
    Such a great time to be a Dees supporter.

    You get the impression that Chandler loves the Club and is loving being part of this team.

    Not since Farmer would I have been so heartbroken to lose a player. I would cry and never watch him play again for fear it would cause me too much heartache.

    Beautiful words from Kozzy:

    "Giving back to my community and putting smiles on kids' faces makes me happy. I was once that little kid and it's special for me to now be giving back and doing what I love, surrounded by people I love..."

    Great tribute to family, friends, teammates and coaches.

    Seriously, Tim Lamb should get an OBE for his services to MFC list management.

    I love the relationship he has with Goodwin. Every time he came to the bench on Saturday Goodwin put his arms around him. You can tell he’s a very important figure in his life and is a key reason why he’s staying. 
     

    Kosi is a wonderful role model and example of what talent combined with hard work can help you achieve in life. He must be so inspirational to so many young indigenous kids. Having had a tough upbringing, he remained focused and is achieving his dreams.

    Fritter signed until 2026 too

    AFL: Bayley Fritsch signs contract extension with Melbourne until 2026 season (nine.com.au)

    Club doing an amazing job - what a contrast from the dark days when players couldnt get out quick enough

    Ta. Post duly fixed!

    As an aside, and at the risk of derailing the koz fest, outside of dees supports, is Fritter the most under rated player in the AFL?

    A relatively comparable player role wise is Jemery Cameron.

    Cameron is an undisputed star, and his numbers this season are unbelievable. I'm not saying Fritter is better, or even as good as Cameron.

    Rather, i'm using Cameron as a benchmark for Fritter. And when you compare their career stats , Fritter doesn't lose too much by way of comparison (its worth noting that Fritter played a big chunk of i think 2019 in defence):

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
