Fritsch Sealer Multiple Commentary
People just need to hear Eddie Betts & even Jack Riewoldt describe the degree of skill & execution in that kick & goal ..not one suggestion it wasnât deliberately executedâŚ

PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
BBB..Hore & Billingâs were doing their kmâs on the ground after the game last night so they may not play today & be held over as emergencies / possible inclusions for next week. The team would have trained up for this stretch of games so I think if any change maybe just Bowey straight in

Kozzy bump on Soligo
Not sure I disagreed with any of the sentiments you expressed (except the Maynard incident & we can agree to disagree) My position is âin my opinionâ I felt the incident should have been graded on the lower side..meriting a fine. In no way do I disagree with the new rulings but I am very happy the club is challenging the âpenaltyâ of the ruling.

Kozzy bump on Soligo
I just find it unbelievable to be comparing Kozzy with the action of Maynard. About the only similar thing is the word âsmotherâ. There was a stat (I think the Richmond game where it was 10 smothers ! & they were lauding this ) in nearly every case where you attempt to smother the ball ..your feet leave the ground. His intention was to smother the ball & it absolutely should be graded low impact .

PODCAST: Rd 04 vs Adelaide
Firstly absolutely love the podcast & the effort you all put in. Iâm more the âBinmanâ type of supporter but thoroughly enjoy Andyâs MFCSS & Georgeâs insights & articulations. My observations on both games in Adelaide .. we go into PA game with best âavailable â team & found a way to win even though we werenât at our optimum. I find these wins so satisfying because I know our best is yet to come. We hit the 2nd game with some sore & tired bodies against a fired up crowd & opponent. Again we find a way to win ..I felt we needed a buffer at 3/4 time because we would tire in the last. Adelaide may not have the quality but they bought in six new young sets of legs & we all know they are Burgess fit. I donât echo the sentiments of bad kicking ..there were reasons ..BBB would never have been pencilled in for that much footy but he still put his body in for a target. Again what Iâve loved about these wins is the ways weâve found to win. Will hold us in such good stead & give us so much to draw on & the season unfolds ..(now Iâm off to do the 5 star review âŚfinally)

NON-MFC: Round 02
They won so many games by single digits last year. Where does their improvement come from this season ..old players get older & with such a close competition you only have to be a 1% off & you lose. They are def more than a 1% off. For all those posters that moan about Goodieâs press conferencesâŚdo yourself a favour & listen to âthe Priestâ⌠at the moment. Not really sure how to describe them đ¤

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
It is was pretty loud which was great but I was also at the Collingwood match & the level of noise (especially in the early part of the game) is at a whole new level. You can see how the umps get sucked in . I believe that even though the Swans absolutely crushed them ..Iâm pretty sure the Pies won the free kick count .

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
Well said âŚ(even though it will fall on deaf ears) today at the G was like watching a game from dare I say it..2021. Often with our wins over the last couple of seasons they werenât satisfying or exhilarating..today was. As our new game plan becomes more entrenched & connections are built with new players in new positionsâŚwe will play better. There will be hiccups along the way but I loved what I saw. I was so proud of our supporters who gave Clarry a standing ovationâŚweâre back in the 8 !!

PREGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney
Fantasy ..get offered a free flight to Syd to stay with family member. No ticket to game but go along to the open session to see players. Find out can get reciprocal rights with MCC membership but have to queue from 5pm & hope for the best . Half an hour ago get call from a players parents who canât make the game and want to know if a ticket is required. Reality.. will now be sitting with the players families tomorrow night. How envious am I but super excited for another Dees supporter to be there

PREGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney
I was out last night & one of the speakers was Brad Scott. Of course the first question Caro asks him was about culture at clubs & cited MFC & all our âoff field dramasâ. He answered it very well saying culture is literally a day by day thing. You work on it every day ..he has some extremely talented players who donât necessarily embody the right âcultureâ so they have to work on it. He then said he would never criticise Melb & he heard Max Gawn (who he said is an icon incredibly talented..exceptional etc) & Max said âMelb has a great culture (paraphrasing). He then left it at that. That kept Caro quiet. The other point he made very clearly is that unless you are inside the club no one has really any idea what is happening. So my long winded point is ..we have to trust everybody around Clarry to make the right decisions. We simply donât know all the facts & that is fine by me.

Petracca: "When the pressure mounted... we crumbled"
Think youâve taken that remark out of context. I read it as ..yes we didnât win but there is always next year ..meaning we get another opportunity..itâs not like we lost & thereâs no tomorrow. I also gleaned from that podcast that yes.. the players absolutely know what is being said about the team & thankfully have a far more positive attitude than a lot of our posters .

Welcome to Demonland: Caleb Windsor
Absolutely agree. Thereâs a great podcast ..Dyl & friends where he speaks to Petracca. Fantastic listen & a good insight into his feelings on ourâforward'sâ & also the team ..early exit from finals etc. Some of our more âpessimistic â supporters would do well to listen !

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 7th February 2024
Pretty much every new player we have bought into our club (not the young draftees) have said our training standards & fitness are elite. Even Grundy alluded to it so whilst they might be fit.. theyâre not âMelbourne â fit.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 2nd February, 2024
Not sure of the correlation between club sport or chastising your child equates to AFL at the elite level and at the pointy end of the season đ¤¨
