2021 ABC Footballer of the Year - Clayton Oliver
We could literally have 5 - Clarry, Trac, Gawn, Lever, May. Fritta also a chance.

This is our best season since 1990
Thank you, got ahead of myself. Would like saints to lock in top 2 for us with a win against Geelong.

TICKETING: Rd 15 vs Essendon
Glad we're all sitting together, was worried they'd disperse us amongst the others. Will be a lot of fun if we can get up. C'mon you demons!!!!

TICKETING: Rd 15 vs Essendon
Just got my ticket as a standard home and away member so don't think they're sold out yet. It changed from saying no tickets available at about 12.01. M35 anyone?

Kick to win the game - interesting stat
Yup, right after Gawndog had missed his

You just know if we ever make a granny it's gonna be Gawn on a slight angle from 30 out after the siren...

The Significance of 9 Wins in a Row
The streak is challenging for mental state. Increasingly I've found myself going to the footy hoping not to lose rather than to win. Makes it slightly less enjoyable when we do inevitably grind out our predictable 4-5 goal win. Such strange times! Loving it though, can't wait to see how we go in the Bulldogs game. Every chance they get roadblocked by our impenetrable defensive walls and our big boys turn on up the offensive hurt factor.

What they're saying down at Royal Parade
Not necessarily, if they are to be competing for spot 7-8 then the only game they have lost you would expect them to win was Collingwood. You would also have hoped to nab one of the unexpected ones. Just the way the fixture falls, hard to build up momentum when you're playing top 4 sides every other week. Get a good run for a few games and they'll be right back in the mix.

TEAMS: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Was incredible, an awesome response to one of Gawn's all time most dominant quarters.

TEAMS: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Will depend on his whole game rather than stats - if he gets double teamed all day and finishes with 4 touches but allows Brown/Tmac/Fritta get off the chain he'll hold his place!

Do we lack midfield depth?
I think Baker in for Viney put the balance off today. If it had been Harmes or Sparrow then we may have looked better. Sparrow looked a class above in the VFL on Thursday, hoping he's ready to take on some more responsibility and go up a gear.

Do you trust Melbourne
Its hard to trust with the easy set shot misses. I trust us to get enough opportunity, but until we can reliably hit high percentage set shots it will be hard to trust fully. It sometimes feels like you just need one good chunk of play to kick the those yips to the dust for a while. Hoping the last quarter was that!

NON MFC: Rd 05 2021
Makes for some pretty good reading though. "As per the first post, I congratulate St Kilda on a gutsy, inspiring performance"

Max Gawn
I feel like gawn is most effective against good rucks, when the mids don't all assume he's gonna win it every time

Welcome to Demonland: James Jordon
Love that he sits back a bit from the contest and racks up the uncontested, something all our see-ball-get-ball power mids struggle with and coupled with his defensive efforts adds a sweet POD we've been searching for. Super excited for the future after seeing the midfield group click last night.

Attendance
Our crowd vs Freo while initially underwhelming has been fine in comparison with other Victorian games. Difficulty in acquiring tickets/good seats has been a factor for all clubs. I reckon if we can keep consistency with our performances we'll have some really strong home crowds once 100% capacity and member seating is allowed.
-
Angus Brayshaw
Seems like they're really committed to him as the other wing this season opposite Langdon. For those who don't listen to it, he was going on in the Gus and Gawny podcast about their wingers club (ed is captain and baker is a paid intern). I know we've seen his best footy in the middle and he's never looked super comfortable on the wing but it would be great if he was able to make the position his own.

How Important was Spargo
If that's his minimum he will be the best small forward in the AFL!

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Fremantle
Must not have followed very long if that's case...
