RDB No31 what a man, what a Legend of the MFC and wider football world and as some former great pointed out If the Norm Smith Medal had been available Ron would have won 3.!!! Happy 87th Ronald Dale Barassi.!!!

Yes we did WCW although my daughter and grandaughter placed the order and paid, how terrible that Coles let the Demon Army down on such a critical day. We were coming back for seconds after the players left but the queue was out of control you ladies were flat chat.👍

It was a great turnout we had an enjoyable time and tried the Demon Army sausages and bread x5 very yummy. As mentioned earlier the queue’s were long which limited the number of player autographs but the kids managed to get all the young guns as they were all located in the one area along with JJ, Tommo and Michael Hibberd. How good is Benny Brown he raised $63,000 plus for the cause.! The last time we attended was 2019 it was a smaller event and players were much more accessible but that is the price of success.!!!

After watching him in the match simulation yesterday I had a good look at him and a number of our youngsters at the family day this morning and he looks the goods confidant and friendly with the kids and adults alike. I have high hopes for Will.!!!

Not afraid to show his emotions about the lack of support from his coach and his club, I liked his comment I will (fn) see you on queens birthday. Let’s hope we can harness his talent so that he becomes a Melbourne premiership player and how good would it be against the Pies.!!

Thanks Demonland, Kev and all posters love the blow by blow action in these reports informative and enjoyable.!!!!

Your right Stinga they are more med talls at 6’4” and both very mobile, Fritta and Seston 6’2” ers, we now have a really good spread of talls and will be able to stretch oppo teams at times.!!

I think Perty said that the recovery pool will be completed by June 2023.!!

Goodwin knows that talk is cheap I think we will see him after the practice matches and we are leading into the real season. I know that I cringe whenever I see other coaches being interviewed during pre-season it feels scripted I would rather hear from Williams and Line coaches or the players. But that’s just me. Lol.!!!

With the talent and knowledge that we have on the Board if finding and developing a home base was so easy it would already exist, sometimes we have to acknowledge the difficulties that we face and listen to those that have greater understanding of those difficulties.!!

Top effort WCW keep up the great work.!!!

Where’s the discussion on the good news, we keep beating ourselves up about inner city training facilities, we have Goshes, AAMI and we have just spent $17m on upgrading Casey so that our four teams have the necessary facilities to start winning premierships again, premierships that most of us thought that we would never see again. We are rebuilding our club to a state of relevance we need to continue to build the club, we need that 70 - 75,000 paid up members and we need to average crowds of 50,000 at our home games so that “people” take us seriously . As Pert points out we need more clout in the AFL, winners are grinders, this is the best ride that I have had with the club and we should all be enjoying the ride and thank everyone who has helped us get this far. I will not be around to see our Shang- re-la but hopefully my kids and grandkids may.!!!!

Thanks Cyclops that explains her discomfort. Poor Kate.💕

I couldn’t get into the livestream so am awaiting for the other speeches to be posted on website?

I watched Kate Roffe speech and although I enjoyed the content I thought that Kate sounded a bit edgy did something happen??

The players are looking extremely fit on the Training Gallery on website today looked like a great day for it hope PF or some of our posters were there.!!!

Ha ha I’m more a Ranger man.!!

I have Kade at $1.75 he is on the verge, he has the determination and talent to make the grade, needs some luck and when he gets his chances has to perform better than the players that he replaces. Agree also that he could play the Sub role when an extra small is needed. Kade needs to play 7 - 10 games in 2023 or look for a new home depending on who stays and who goes.!!!

Agree TC I am really enjoying your articles Grazman and looking forward to many more to come.!!

Yes but he got omitted a number of times.!!

Like all youngsters they have to be eased into the team I remember Sparrow and Jordon literally had to knock the door down to get a run. JVR is ready to play so I am expecting big things this year whether at Casey or Dees, an opportunity will arise.!!

Thanks HtD long long time follower 25 year member looking forward to the read.!!

I think they said Major Sponsors so imagine it is meaningful and team get lotsa healthy nutritional snacks to boot.!!
