Daniel Menzel is tipping us for minor premiership..

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

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.

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

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.

 

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..
