  1. Being a bit of a traditionalist I believe that the Premiership medal only goes to those that were in the field of battle. However I strongly believe that our club should invest in Premiership rings that would go to every player that played and helped get the club to the promised land. Particularly for drought breaking 13th that would be something to cherish. I fondly remember the Premiership Penant that I received (3 Times) 72-74, the 22 players in the Granny are shown at the top and then the players that filled in during the year covering injuries / illness etc, are displayed below. We aren’t all made for Glory.,!!!!!!!
  2. I am thinking one of Alex, Trent, Harrison, Michael, Charlie, Sparrow orJJ imagine if they all come to the party.πŸ˜€πŸ’™β€οΈ
  3. Well done MFC And TMac he is back to his 2018 form, very important to our team and will see him reach his 200 and be a one club player. Thanks Tom..!!!!!!!
  4. This was the start when the playing group started to build trust in each other our recruitment was brilliant, this was the start of team first. We didn’t get back in one season but we learnt a lot of valuable lessons that have held up and now we are almost there. I enjoyed this and we still had to make those tough calls at the end of 2020 to make sure everyone was buying in. Go Dees.β€οΈπŸ’™
  5. I thought that Josh pulled out because the job was watered down?
  6. Totally agree Werride, thanks so much Pates that shows Nathan Jones as the great warrior and Leader that he was and always will be at the Melbourne Football Club. Thank you Nathan you will never be forgotten, a true legend of the club, we will be thinking of you and your family Saturday week..πŸ’™β€οΈπŸ™
  7. That is brilliant Flower Magic, very inspirational I will replay this many times before and hopefully after the Granny. Love the lyrics and guitar work and the vocals are special.!!β€οΈπŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’™
  8. Thanks CTM my wife and I both commented when we saw Goody give the sign / signal and wondered what it signified. Judging by the way the players love Goody I think it significant and all players recognise the meaning.πŸ’›β€οΈπŸ’™
  9. Sentimentally I would love to see Gaz and Yze do the presentation if we are lucky enough to win the Granny. They both have great MFC pedigrees and are not tainted by any other colours.β€οΈπŸ’™
  10. My family are receiving so much support from our extended family and friends it is unreal and we are so grateful given that we are in lockdown. If we win, it will be Tatts all around and re-new our premier memberships for 2022. This is so much more exciting than 2000 now that we are the legitimate favourites.β€οΈπŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’™.
  11. Come on Norwood, West Perth and all Red and Blue teams around Australia who are still in the race.πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§πŸ§ΆπŸ§΅πŸͺ’β€οΈπŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’™
  12. Barring Stephen May not getting up I think No Change, Hunty is really stiff. If May doesn’t get up I would feel really exposed down back and we don’t have a like for like replacement? Im sure the coaching team already have this covered so I am not going to fret about it.!!!
  13. It is hard to explain the joyous feelings that we experienced whilst watching that Preliminary Final while madly texting our three daughters and grandson (all Dee tragics) in lockdown. All the highs getting higher and higher as Max and the boys went to town in the third quarter. Blowing the β€œhated” Cats out of the water in such an emphatic manner was pure bliss. Love this team.Rest up boys one more huge game to win.πŸ’•
  14. 6 - Max 5 - Tracc 4 - Jack 3 - Salo 2 - BBB 1 - Clarry throw a net over the rest brilliant team game, not one passenger, boys playing like men.
  15. I haven’t posted all week been to nervous but these boys of ours are the best that I have seen. How good was it to see the whole team running out on the ground this group has got it all so right and Max was ginormous.!!!
  16. L N staying at Brisbane.!!! Glad to hear this.!!!
  17. We are two games away from penultimate success why are we even discussing one of our leaders. Loose lips sink ships, stand firm behind the total group.!!!
  18. None of us will be satisfied, the boys have us in a state of excitement and euphoria that we have not felt for 21 years. A loss in either the Prelim or Grand final will be gut wrenching and cause much anguish and be emotionally draining, I am not contemplating a loss But no doubt will survive. We are the Best but now we must prove it.!!!
  19. Thanks EO that was a great read and I agree with above comments that it all started with Peter Jackson the architect of our rise getting Paul Roos and a great recruitment team and the beat goes on.!!!
  20. Great interview covered all aspects of Jacks career and we get an in depth view of Mark Neeld and how he set our club back 5-6 years, he punished them to the stage they were nervous about going to training. Very sad for the whole playing group in those days.!!!πŸ˜ͺ
  21. We are so blessed with the quality of people at the Dees. Gus is so thoughtful and considered with his answers makes us all so proud.!!
  22. A really great player but his brain fades have really damaged him as a Star and his Club at the most critical of times. I was really shocked when I saw the incident and the look on Jesse Hogans face following the incident confirmed to me the unacceptable nature of the incident. The Giants should impose further sanctions on him so that he actually gets it.!!!!
  23. Well done DJ that was a great early call on Fritsch his kicking was off last year as was his defensive skills, hard to believe that he could and would turn it around to such a degree in a pre-season. He looks and acts like a man who now knows where he is headed, confident, brave and dependable. Confidence and belief are a powerful serum and now knows that he belongs. love Frittata.!!!πŸ”₯πŸ’•
  24. I have watched a lot of games over the years since 1964 and we as a Team have never achieved what this 2021 team have achieved and we are the favourites at this point, that has never happened before. Our Best and Worst is now so much closer than previous years, we are never embarrassed or ashamed of this team. Two games to go boys make yourselves proud, Legend status is so near yet so far.!!!!
  25. I was very nervous for him playing in his first final but like all classy players he can absorb physicality and play his role without a backward glance, he is going to be a real beauty. Remember when Travis Johnstone played early in his career he looked fragile but always bounced up. Well done Jake Bowey you should be very proud of yourself.!!!!!
