Tassie Stubbies? or Tassie Explorers with a map of Tassie on the jersey

Eddie's Bold Plan for 20 Team Comp
You may have missed it but the proposal is not fair and even, it has an extra 'rivalry round' for some reason. so whether that team is 1st or 20th could decide your season. They finally have the chance to have an even and fair draw at least hypothetically and they blow it. And the 12th team out of 20 making finals? finals should be the best team playing off. not team that have lost more games than they won. I get he wants to make more money for the AFL with more finals but finals would lose their appeal and significance

Revised 2021 Fixture: Rd 07 & 08
It’s already a 6 day break. No way I want Friday night and a 5 day break

Loan System for Players to Swap Clubs
Good idea. Especially in positions like the ruck. If all are injured there are no options for clubs. Loaning would give a guy a chance to play and develop rather than playing the lower level and help the injury impacted team

The Melbourne player with the league’s highest work rate
Not sure about cricket, but I know in round-ball football you only get an appearance when you are subbed on. To me if seems insane you would get credited with an appearance when you do not play for even a minute. I understand your example you raise and they should be paid for it but not get credited a game. Should be give the carried over emergency a cap too?

The Melbourne player with the league’s highest work rate
Good first hit out from Melksham. Didn’t see him shirk a contest and didn’t turn it over once! but seriously - counting a player who does not step on the field as having played a game is an absolute farce! They even get a premiership medal!

CHANGES: Rd 04 vs Geelong
That's a significant list given their lack of depth Evans is a kid plucked from obscurity, playing for Brunswick amateurs apparently

Clayton Oliver Contract negotiations
I reckon Trac would be valued and rated higher outside the club than Clarry. The coin Trac would get thrown at him next year would be ridiculous. Would be fantastic to lock him in. Should hopefully help getting Clarry's signature also. in the meantime - win games MFC!!

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Yep WC are looking good for the minor premiership even at this stage. They'll win 11 at home plus 4-5 away minimum. The best fwd line. close to the best defence. When Yeo and Shuey are firing along side Kelly, Gaff, Nic Nat, etc they'll be tough to beat. To have Kennedy and Darling both fit and firing early is scary

My Round 4 Preview and Prediction
MASSIVE game. fantastic to play the Cats at the G. Hopefully they have flashbacks of Jetta, Viney and Clarry smashing them physically in the final in 2018 in front of 90K. The Cats are clever, rough and will try anything to nullify our strengths. Have we matured? Can we keep our heads and not give away 50s? If we stay focused and tough at the ball we win.

The 2021 All-Australian Team
May and Gawn would be locks Oliver, Langdon, Kozzi, Lever, Trac in the conversation

Caro: Are the Demons the Real Deal in 2021?
who's getting ahead of ourselves? the media? Caro? clearly not us fans. we are happy with 3-0 and know we have only beaten decent opposition. When we play Port/Tigers/Lions/WC/Dogs we will see how good we are

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KYSAIAH KROPINYERI PICKETT
In 10 years we will be looking back on this trade as a touch of genius and Pickett as a legend of the club getting carried away? absolutely! and loving it
-
POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Interesting to compare the coaches and DL votes. I reckon we expect a lot from Trac and he needs to do a great deal to get votes. Viney, Lever also also undervalued votes wise. Whereas guys like Hunt play a good game and we love him. Not judging, just observing. Hunt played well

Best Recruiting Season ever?
IIRC Farmer and Yze debuted on the same day round 1 1995. Not sure who else that year but had some great days at the G in those days
-
POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Agree OD. T Mac has been in my votes the last two games. The Giants flooded back and made it very hard for him to get a touch. hopefully he bounces back as we need him over the next month especially

Round 1 Crowd
Sweet. Thanks mate

NON MFC: Rd 03 2021
Yeah I got on under 40pts for 2.70 which is still available. I like how the media and betting companies are slow to get on the Demons. It’s been a good few weeks!

Round 1 Crowd
When do tickets go on sale? Can’t wait to head to the G

Tribunal & MRP 2021
Good to see the boys stand up and fight for the win last night. Hope they split the fines amongst the group
-
POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Tactically we were very sound after Q time. We weathered the storm of 4 goals straight. we set up so well behind the ball, the giants could only score on the counter or from blatant errors. Well done to Goody. We have an easy to recognise game plan for once.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Mate it’s round 3. Teams that have lost at least one game tend to be towards the bottom of the ladder. Saints will play finals for sure

VOTES: Rd 03 vs GWS
6 Gawn 5 Viney 4 Kozzi 3 Langdon 2 Hunt 1 Trac

CHANGES: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Jones with 15 touches and 7 score involvements stays in. Sparrow couldn’t get near it so he’d the only one that will be looked at imo
