I hear you Neverodd………. You can call the opposition whatever but once they pull on the Red and Blue they are ours, they may not be world beaters but they can be valuable to the overall team performance, you have to give people a chance to perform and our club and footy department the chance to iron the wrinkles out and restore confidence in their own ability, who knows what is possible??

Sam Weideman another young man with plenty of class who acknowledged our club in glowing terms, helps explain why he was loved so much by his teammates, he sounds as disappointed that he didn’t quite make it as we are. Good luck Sam.!!

Thanks LH I have been scanning the pages looking for something that LJ wrote acknowledging his time at MFC his teammates, coaches, fitness staff, boot studders, haven’t been able to find anything not even an acknowledgement of the kind words spoken by Kate Roffe. Jeezuz Luke where’s the manners young man I am Sure that the Brayshaws and personal sponsors would be disappointed, hell I am disappointed and I don’t even know you. That is my final word on LJ.

19 games at Casey is a fair effort in his first Rookie year. Hopefully grows a couple more cm’s and puts on 10 kg during the pre- season with a name like Judd and being a great kid would love to see him as a long term player for us.!!

Thanks Sam, good luck at the Bombers but not against us thanks. Still a bit mystified at what could have been.!!

Luke had a great year at Casey and had a big impact in the Casey GF, hopefully Luke will get more game time next year. We really must reward effort and he will be fitter and tougher next year.!!

TMac VIP he has bucked the rule and gotten better with age, hope you get that foot right TMac you are so critical to our mighty Dees.!!

A lot to digest and Very funny Demonstone!!

Well spoken young man, shows that you have a lot of class and your last two years were very important to you and your teammates. Good luck with the rest of your footy career and life ahead.!!

I am surprised that Goody didn’t snaffle him for our senior FD obviously knows his stuff. Cats should be renamed the Poachers, I suppose it is a backhanded compliment but hell they don’t muck around. Could set us back a bit at Casey.!!!

We still have two newbies to come plus possible 3 extra Rookies not to mention the continual improvement of our list fitness and health wise plus our younger brigade. Yes we are Firmly in the Window.!!

Thanks again LH great effort keeping up with Tim Lamb & Co what a superb effort, we started out with LJ and a glad bag of picks and ended up with Grundy, Hunter and Schache, picks 13 & 37 and 2 first rounders and 2 second rounders for 2023. Brilliant effort.❤️💙✅🤘💕

Welcome home Adam Tomlinson you provide great depth and if all goes well you may enable Petty to be tried forward or at worst you can come in for May, Petty or Rick if any are injured or out of form. Hope you have a great pre-season and get full confidence back in your leg, 2023 is going to be a huge year and we will need all of our experience, stamina and luck to finish top four again. Glad that you are still with us.!!!

Ha ha I still cringe a little bit when I see Gus cannon into Schache slightly late and then lay on the ground as if wounded and BT saying he didn’t get away with standing under the ball.lol.!!!

Jeezuz he can run all day, take a mark and is an excellent kick to boot, Tim might have done alright with this one. Just need to get him in with the boys and get his head straight and look out in 2023. I trust our FD to get Lachie firmly into the fold.🙏✅💕

Welcome Josh Schache 200cm, didn’t realise you are that tall, hopefully you can play a role on hF line or next to JvR if TMac or BBB are injured or out of form or CHF / FF at Casey whilst you provide that critical depth for our mighty Dees. Good Luck young man you are surely going to need it.!!! Thank god that Clarry is a bestie, follow his lead and who knows??

No he is a F4th , we still have 37 up our sleeve, he has cost us nothing and we picked up 37 for Weid.

Good luck Sam Weideman we all hoped your success would be with us but that never came to fruition, thanks for helping us win the flag at Casey this year. Take care Sam.✅💕

At the start of the Quest the figures being mentioned and never denied was MFC $600k, Pies $300k over 5 Years - we pay $3m, Pies pay $1.5m. Pies needed to offload the money so they could fit DeGoeys salary into the cap. There has been a bit of too-ing and fro-ing happening on DL but think the original scenario would be closest to the pin.!!!

Well that feels a bit better if we can get Max and Brodie superfit look out 2023 and beyond. Just need that extra big forward and backup ruck and we will be on a roll.!!!

Is it just me, I feel exhausted by this trade period so far, as it appears that everyone has achieved their goals bar us. The Hunt trade for steak knives from the AFL left me feeling angry, Bedfords trade helped get Jacko deal over the line and we still didn’t crack into the top 10 ( for a Unicorn?) and we still haven’t completed the trade for Grundy. Now Weid has been dropped into the pan for what gain? And we are still trying to offload Thommo. I am hoping that Weid and Thommo will be player swaps to help ease my anxiety levels.!!!

Yes just watched him on Ch7 Perth caught up with Freo mid season met the coach and players and decided that’s where he was going. No wonder his form dropped off at the pointy end of the season he knew he was outta here. Bit sad but that’s how things go sometimes.!!!

AFL trade tracker.

You are correct Demon17 LJ will be MFC LifeMember when he retires, he won the Rising Star and Premiership Medallion as a 19 Year old and that was extra cool for our club and Recruitment team. We do get Pick 13 and their future 1st and 2nd rounders next year so something to work with in 2023. Good luck LJ and Toby but not when you play the Dees.

I guess my main query is why did we change our strategy from being a high running high scoring second half side to being a higher scoring first half team that couldn’t run the game out. Was it team structure/ team fitness or change in game plan? How do we address our poor second halves, do we have the right mix in the FD? To play deeper into the finals in 2023 where do you think that our improvement will come from?
