    Pre season 2021 they rated our midfield bottom 4.

    I still laugh at that.

    Says it all about Champion Data. The more clubs pay $$$$ to them for data the better it looks for that club. Data to suit a narrative.

    If it's a MFC V Brisbane GF, I have a bit of a family crisis on my hands.  Youngest son is fair dinkum and goes for the Mighty Demons, but his big brother supports the Lions (yeah, I know - should have thrown him out of the nest).

    Only have 2 X GFG memberships 🤔

    Hmmmm tough decision coming up maybe.

    Do you either:

    A) Be honest and tell your eldest that he made a poor decision in life and needs to learn a lesson in consequences.

    Or

    B) Do you lie and tell him if the Lions and Dees make the grand final in 2024, that you'll take him then.

    Very, very tough decision.

    Yes but preseason 2019 they rated us as flag contenders. Their data is historic, it is not a projection. Based on 2019/20 you could say we did have a bottom 4 midfield prior to 2021.

    Exactly.

    That's why RBG had two sons!

    Excellent planning to mitigate the risk of not having a child who supports the mighty dees.

    It's a great problem to have if we get there.

    My brother in law goes for Port and sadly he meets there criteria for supporting, lovely guy though.

    I don't get the excitement about Lions winning a flag.

    Their going to be hard to beat on their home finals sure but last time I checked, the granny will be played at the mighty Mcg where it belongs.

    Lions have the biggest voodoo there and it will certainly come into play

    Weird that that they would rank our midfield so low given they ranked Gawn, Oliver and Trac as elite at the start of the 21 season.  Not like they would have marked Viney and Brayshaw as mugs either.

    of course, this is the year they ranked Mason Cox as elite, so I'm thinking there was a bug in their spreadsheet and nobody fixed it.

    Yeah, I guess I've got a better strike rate that the old man.  He's got three sons and I'm the only one that's a passionate Demons (the other not really footy driven, but notional MFC supporters).

    If we get to the big dance at the G, the three generations of MFC supporters will be the together and I couldn't go past that.  Dad was there at the G in 64, and I was there with him in 88 and 2000.  Watching a winning one at the G with them both would be bloody magic. 

    Love that Max recognises and values the significance of winning one at home at the MCG where family freinds and the MFC faithful can truly share the experience and hope that is really driving the playing group headding into this finals series.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
