What I'd Like to See from the MFC in Twenty Twenty Three

[Caligula's cohort 1,014]

- A top four finish and a Premiership. 

- Wins over Geelong, Richmond (Anzac Eve), Sydney, Collingwood (Kings B'day) A MUST!!!

- More rotation of players through the year so there's a healthy competition for senior spots. 

- Kozzy contract extension.

- News on our MFC facility finally chosen/ preparation underway. 

- Increased revenue for the club from it's investments.

- Sign a big sponsor.

- Oliver to win his Brownlow.

- May to spear tackle Jackson and bust a few ribs without being suspended. 

- Oliver and Brown to shave their heads for a much cleaner look. Langdon to grow his back lol. 

- A healthy 60,000 supporter membership tally after a disappointing 2022 exit.

10 years ago we all would have just wanted to see us be competitive. 

10 years later and I hope we never hear that vomit again.

A happy TEAM playing for each other and the rest will take care of itself.

[DeeSpencer 25,707]

A bit more versatility, free wheeling and enjoyment in the way we play. 

I love the defensive effort the players give and the joy they have in that but our best footy is fast, creative and brave. It trusts the next guy in the chain calling for the ball is either free or can win a contest. 

Do that and if the coaches and footy department make enough of the right calls managing the players we’ll be in with a shot.

Someone kick a goal whilst doing a backflip.

[Caligula's cohort 1,014]

Did anyone else notice the team is really happy this year? It seems we have the right balance with things at the moment. The players are always smiling and cracking jokes in photos I see. Morale and training intensity is high, which can only be a good thing. I just feel like we are humming away ready to take the opposition to the sword. We are ready!

Another flag. anything less is a failure and those are the lofty expectations we should all embrace. 

this list is primed.

What I'd like to see from the MFC in 2023?

A flag at the G

[bananas 428]

Flag, obviously, but the thing that I want to see because I believe it's the best predictor ...

I want us to be number 1 in the comp for forward 50 tackles again. We dominated that stat in 2021 (from memory, ANB and Kozzie were #1 and #2 in the league) and completely dropped away in 2022. Bring that pressure again, turn the ball over higher up, force oppo quick kicks to Lever/Gawn/etc., and we're well on the way to Cup #14.

I’d like to see the players enjoying their football. 
2021, the team were clearly enjoying their football and celebrating each others success.  They’re looked fresh, happy and enthused.

2022, they looked like they were ‘all business’ and it seemed to weigh them down come the second half of the year.

I would like to see them hungry and happy.

 

[Forever the pessimist. 68]

I want to see Kozzie hang onto a hanger. He’s been up plenty of times, but never dragged one down.

I want to see 2023 be the year of the Dee..
