Their depth of talent and experience is far greater than ours, they were more direct and they have multiple tall forwards and they came out of the blocks hard fast and accurate, we were on the back foot from the start. On a positive note we fought back in the 2nd and 4th quarters, we had nearly as many I50’s but used the ball poorly coming inside 50 and we never gave up at any stage. Beaten but not bowed.

6 - Jack Steel 5 - Max Gawn 4 - Christian Salem 3 - Trent Rivers 2 - Ed Langdon 1 - Rick Lever They were far to good for us today, to fast to tall and just to bloody good.

I think you are looking too far ahead Waverley, plenty of time for Moose he did really well against Xerri in the practise match Vs North. He will get his chance.

A big thanks to Ghostwriter, Ditcha, Fritta and Turner, Harvey Wallbanger, Kev, all posters and special comments. Greatly appreciated, I am also a bit surprised that Moose didn’t make the journey but a full game at Casey beats being an emergency.

I listened to him on SEN with Cornes and Morris, he was open honest and much more mature than I have previously heard I would say a bit more confident in his own abilities. He said Mark Williams was his previous kicking coach and he mentioned that Mihocek and his forward line coach have had a big impact on him this year. Not to mention the game plan and having the coach in his corner, self belief is a funny thing.

You just beat me to the punch rjay He sure spoke positively about Caulfield as Home base.👍💕

I just listened to Jack Viney, Kate Hore and Paul Guera discussing the Jim Stynes game and Jim’s giant shadow that caste over MFC. At the end Paul was asked about Waverley and he was very firm that they are wholly focussed on Caulfield as our home base, G is our spiritual home, Casey is critical to our long term plans and where AFLW games will be played but Caulfield will be our AFL Home Base and won’t discuss any other options until that is decided.

Thanks Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger all posters and special comments boy they are really changing up the routines this year. Although short week and long flight to WA makes it more difficult. It’s probably all about recovery and re- energising the group this week.

It’s been so informative, entertaining and humorous certainly keeping us all connected. I watched it this morning with my grandson (I pick them up on We’d & Fri and drop them off to school) he loved it as much as I did, I love what Kingy is bringing to the club. Well done MFC, keep it coming.

Possibly four Pates I believe Moose will be a keeper as well.

Voted for both our boys GW, Ryan got high but didn’t bring it down so shouldn’t count. 😁

Thanks rpfc I watched 360 last night and Gazza agrees he said that with the faster ball movement the pendulum has swung back towards the forwards, leaving defenders a bit stranded and more one on one which lends itself to higher scoring. So it’s not just our defence but all defences are going to be under the hammer as the mids can’t get back quick enough to help out their defenders. It is going to be very interesting to see what tactics teams use to try and slow the game down, kicking accuracy will be the decider.

That is very disappointing demon Dynasty, you are my third go to after joeboy and Demonland Votes, those stats helped me back up what I thought I was seeing at the games and making me reassess my thoughts on some players. Let’s hope there is a fix just around the corner. 👍😎

The Kolt did alright, helped set up a couple of goals, that ground ball get to XL on the run then kick in space to Mihocek was superb team work. Looking forward to seeing who he picks up against Freo. Go the Kolt.

What a great day to be at the “G”, very warmish conditions, we had our grandson with us at the game. Great to see everyone on L2, a lot of excited conversations and hello’s, picked up my coffee and pie on the way in. Jeez what a game of footy, fast and furious, Saints are hard to play when they have ball in hand lots of short kicks, handballs and marks and We are impossible to play when we get our run on game going. The Demon Army were loud and boisterous lots of flags, Heads and that drum beat WOW. We are super fit and played great team football. Roooooo and Mihocek were both brilliant in their own way, Max humongous, our four debutantes all fired, Kolt, Culley and Sharp were a revelation and the rest of the boys played like a reasonably well oiled machine (thanks Penrite), the music got better and louder as the day wore on, must admit I think it was when Sharp or Fritta kicked their sealers Sweet Caroline came on and all around us joined in. All in all a great day at the “G”, what a win.❤️💙👌💕

6 - Max just wouldn’t be beaten 5 - Rooooo hard fast accurate 4 - Kozzie so damn brilliant 3 - Jack showed he still has it 2 - CJ what a pickup 1 - Brody 3 goals and a great mark in the backline when the game was in the balance. Salo, Riv, Windsor, Culley, Sharp, XL, Kolt, Disco, Chandler all made major contributions towards our win. How good are Culley’s hands in his first game of the year.

He’s got some pace is a strong mark, an accurate kick and can absorb punishment and he helped us win today.

Well done Christian Salem on reaching your 200 game milestone, a very skilful and reliable player for Dees, good luck tomorrow Salo we all hope that you have a great game.

Thanks jnrmac but Turner is 194 and Howes is 191 as well, so we match them in height.

Thanks Bendigo_Demon2, that was a memorable experience for you and your family particularly your dad, following the Dees since ‘39 and sounds like a pretty tough upbringing for him as well. The club has a way of surprising us all sometimes and this one is quite exceptional, well done MFC Sebastian and Avi.❤️💙👍💕

Betsy is probably some AI bot being used to unsettle all and Sundry, why else wouldn’t they Quote the actual person making the statements, Vs Quoting Paul Guera. Rhubarb I say bloody Rhubarb and nonsense, call them out, make someone on the other side Justify their position, not some bloody Betsy. I would prefer to hear from Karen.

See above PTJ.

Appears that the coach may disagree picket.😁

To be honest I am just excited to get back to th “G”, see some familiar faces, hear the Demon Army chanting, crowd cheering, picking up my 4 n 20 and coffee on the way to our seats. Watching the side run out, singing our song and hopefully hearing 15-20 songs being played in the background as we cheer each and every goal the boys kick. There are three of us going on Sunday and it can’t come quick enough.👍💕

Steven King is very impressive, speaks so well, thinks quickly and I loved his mantra of giving the players their head and not be afraid of making mistakes. Gazza certainly fired off a lot of questions and scenarios. Great watch.
