Followed the MFC from grade 2 in 1972 and school photo wearing the old woollen jumper which I still have and experienced all the dark times of the 70s and highs of the late 80s inc lows of 87 prelim, 88 & 2000 GF and the lows after Daniher era, this win would have to be the best ever seen and to see Petracca emotional and saying we are doing this for our supporters! If the footy gods continue to shine that old woollen jumper will come out!

Whats sad is Port have beaten 4 top 8 sides vs 8 by the Dees yet they could finish higher, afl fixture hey

Rather play in Perth or Brisbane

Until you play each other twice will never be fair e.g. how many top 8 sides has Port beaten 2 I believe vs Melb 7 & yet may finish higher than us. Option are either have 2 pools of 9 & play each other twice so 16 games then play the pool once so total of 24 games then a final 8 is finalised. The other option is you play each other once and then then the top 8 play each other again & the bottom 10 plan for the following season. You still get 24 game season and at least the top 8 positions are earns fairly.

Because the AFL a hell bent in ensuring Finals are not played to empty stadiums, don't disagree with you & the integrity of finishing on top or higher placed finalist has eroded, reckon the AFL should shift all the finals to Perth inc GF as looking like no WA will make finals so no team is disadvantaged give the bye a week leading up so quarantine etc but WA premier want allow it

No doubt the AFL has a very hard job to continue to run the comp inc running the finals & gf to meet the commercial agreements of so many plus provide integrity to the finalist...lets hope the integrity isn't thrown out the window to appease sponsors, tv so we can have 15-20k at a game and not reward the higher finishing teams. The fairest outcome would be to move the whole final series inc GF to Perth as no WA team will be playing in the Finals...but WA premiers is to [censored].

Afl finds a way to shaft the MFC even if we finish on top!

Will this be another Cairns disaster? Flying in on same day & how long to prep for the game at 3pm??? why not a night game to give the players a chance to assimilate with their environment as Cairns they landed at lunch time and had to play a game in 3hrs! The script of MFC shafting is coming

Alarm bells need to be ringing & not due to last night loss to a top team as our record is great! Last 5 weeks can't kick enough goals bar vs Port Struggling against bottom teams & missed banking points is this mindset?? Cant maximise our Rucks 67-18, and got smashed on both stoppage clearances 28-39 & clearances 41-49 Cant understand Spargo in the backline??

Watching other top 4 teams put away bottom sides vs us struggling go figure

Older supporters like myself who have seen brief final appearances and seen them climb the mountain so far but fall off the cliff....This is essentially the same group that blew it last year in Cairns debacle cost them finals and yes absolutely secure a top 4 spot this year and will give them credit but even more so winning the flag!

If this group of players fall over the last 5 rounds and miss a top 4 chance and bow out of the finals, it will reinforce that nothing has changed at this club and another kick in the guts for their supporters

Don't need 2004 to remind them, just look back to 2020 Cairns 2 game debacle and last round 2017 vs Pies which both cost them playing finals!

This is a loss and hope the coach & players see it this way! Such a usual MFC result hey beat a top 4 side and lose to lower teams down the bottom! The fragility & mental toughness is still in question with this team as missed opportunity as we have history in 17 & 20 missing finals and even a top 4 spot in 18, lets hope it dosent cost them a top 4 spot or hosting a home final!

Our structure was poor with no tall forwards to contest as Tom Mac was marking up the ground and kicking to Frisch with 2-3 defenders, were was Gawn or Jackson??? how do you expect Pickett or Spargo to crumb???.... Tom Mac needed to be in the forward line full stop, the mids need a rocket also! Im Panicking as too much history off getting burnt!

The next 7 games will confirm either way! What the competition has shown that all teams in the top 8 have had flat periods with heavy loses inc today WC 90points, perhaps this is our period and saving grace is our biggest loss is 17 points so our defence is in good shape. Though as MFC supporters we have trust issues!

We think we have problems.....Wc with thier gun fwds & mids lose by 90 points, my question is how do the swans find a way vs what we are serving up??

Needs a tall Fwd who can create a contest and feed of the ball coming to ground, thats were he's at his best, oops we have 2 talls sitting in the VFL!!!

Dont rate Brown as one trick pony and understand fitness via the VFL but Bremerton said once that playing in the reserves/vfl is not always the answer for certain players.

We have lost to teams below us and yes GWS are not a poor side as lots off talent, but my concern is what will the stronger clubs do to us as they will simply look at these games we have lost.....

Lets hope the normal script of falling of the cliff isn't follow & hate to say but many supporters/members will be thinking the same and our record against teams below us both present/past seasons have been crap we have 7 games left with 3 interstate Port, WC, GC and that horrible place Geelong and play Dogs, Hawks & Crows. All of a sudden question marks are starting to pop up???

Dont rate Brown or Weids but want kick many winning scores with our current set up let alone finals, need to role the dice with at least one of them. Kossie is a great talent but needs to be dropped to find form Mids were beaten badly, 15 less clearances, 5 less centre clearances,10 less stoppage clearances and hit outs less 3...

Have tried all games to book with my membership and can never find tickets available without having to pay extra to the point I chose kids tickets and the games I attended there were empty seats and crowd capacity no we’re near the reduced COVID capacity! Please explain

Need a power forward as can’t rely on our hybrids an smaller forwards to kick a winning score in finals, though they did miss plenty of shots but time to try B Brown for what we got into the side

Let’s focus on one week at time, all games will be tough regardless of ladder position as both the crows& pies proved to be
