Yeah not sure, I was just interested to know 

[Demon Disciple 12,452]

Unless they tipped us, they have no idea.

Pre season 2021 they rated our midfield bottom 4.

I still laugh at that.

Was that the year Gawn, Trac and Oliver were amomgst our All Australians, Trac and Oliver scooped up several individual honours throughout the year, and said midfield tore the Bulldogs to shreds in the GF? Yeah, good call there Champion Data. Oh boy.

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.

Well, it is true to say we have never been in the same room together 

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

I remember in 2017 they tipped us to finish 7th with a game to go.

And the missed that prediction by about 3%

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.

What's the crisis?

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.

We all make choices 

you’ll be like the knight in the crypt in the last crusade - look at your youngest … “ you have chosen …. wisely”

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.
