16 marks i50 to our 10, game set and match, they had 7 of the top 10 players. We won a lot of Kpi’s including territory but their uncontested game opened us up time and again.

That should be Langford.

6 - Max despite his two misses 5 - Fritta worked hard all day 4 - Bowsa just wish he had more of it 3 - Disco 2 - Clayton 1 - Blake Howes Then Kozzie, Tracc and Langdon When things were hot and we were right in the game our misses were huge momentum killers. Georgeades was huge his leading and marking was red hot we had no one that could go with him and Ports delivery to him was exceptional.

I was watching the game, watching the stats and getting pretty happy with the boys efforts, Will Verrall just kept getting better and better, that’s his breakout game. Riley Bonner top effort but then Laurie, Brown, Woey2.0, Matty Jefferson and Kalani White all put in a huge effort in the last. Great game to watch.

Unfortunately he played basketball through his formative years and can’t get it out of his game, has height and pace but not the ability to impose himself on a physical game, sad really he seems like a great person.

Our goal kicking is so abysmally dismal that it is turning us into cellar dwellers all those opportunities being wasted is appalling.🥲👎🥲

Thanks red and blue forever, busy week for you and hopefully a few more to come.👏

🤣🤣🤣

That’s true BDA but even in the suburban leagues the best players reap the majority of the rewards these days. It has all changed.

I believe so Kev they will all work their way into the 6-15 mark if they aren’t already in it and then with the way the Cap is forecast to grow they can get their lick of the ice cream and eventually replace those ahead of them. That’s the nature of the beast.

Another good signing for MFC Blake has the talent, skills and the size to make it at AFL level and agree with BDA needs to build greater strength, the confidence will come with more game time.

It’s a nice thought Kevin but elite sports people cannot survive in a socialistic system where everyone gets the same pay, they strive for fame, popularity and fortune , that’s what makes them stand out. There is enough cash in the system to reward players 16-36 but your top five get the cream, then 6-15 are well remunerated and the rest share what’s left. There is a pecking order that all the players recognise and understand the mechanism to climb the ladder, just as most workplaces.😁👍

Only the press would find a way to blame Jacko for Matthew’s appalling brutal behaviour.

Did he “get it” TRA’B.

Thanks DD we beat them in all the main Kpi’s but their game style of chipping it around and racking up possessions to maintain possession makes them look superior statistically whereas we our game style is racking up ISFo’s, clearances and contested possessions. What a shame we couldn’t convert our superiority on the score board. How good were Josh Daicos, Sidebottom and Howe, in the end they were the difference.

Congratulations to Kozzie Pickett and MFC for getting this deal done, speaks volumes for Kozzie and everyone involved at the club. We can all relax now and enjoy the rest of Kozzie’s amazing career unfurl in the mighty Red and Blue. Kozzie, Kozzie, Kozzie, OIe, OIe, OIe.

Well called yesterday GW.👍😁

Thanks again Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters, that was great GW that you were able to arrange for the selfies for the visiting school group.👍😁

Thanks SP it really is quite damning isn’t it, I hate favouritism in any aspect of the game and Pies are getting it in Spades and the Media circus won’t even notice.

Big shout out to dazzledavey36 for posting this, what a champion player, what a sharp memory and even better public speaker had that crowd in the palm of his hand and mentioned everyone who touched him during his life. Wow Gary, hope that you agree to being our President one day, we would be in great hands.

You are probably referring to the Captains Run, Ghostwriter would be able to advise the timing.

Try not to get down layzie, it’s natural to look at the pro’s and con’s of holding onto a ⭐ like Kozzie, my first thought was that is a hell of a lot of coin and 9 years wow a lot can go wrong but Kozzie is a generational player. He is a one of a kind, he can turn a game off his own boot, he is loved by the playing group, coaches and supporters. Losing Jackson hurt us badly and we can’t afford to lose Kozzie when he is blossoming into an outright star of the game. Try to put your concerns aside and join in the celebrations if this comes off.😁👍

So true Mono but what can you expect from these Media lightweights, when Max said that it was done and dusted, that’s story ended.

It was a different type of game than I was expecting, for a start there were a number of smart moves made to limit their transition game and our defensive game was excellent. We won the contested and clearance game whilst limiting their most dangerous forwards. They still spread at will and racked up numerous marks and possessions but they weren’t cutting us up and scoring heavily from our backline. We matched them around the ground. True they were more efficient going forward than us but they were assisted on a number of occasions by the umpiring fraternity with some technical fouls that were only paid their way. Our backline lead by May and Lever were brilliant, our mids were strong and hard at it, our forwards had the opportunity to win it, despite their favoured treatment and we failed by one miserable point. We watched the game at my daughters house the nine of us and it was so noisy, happy, angry and then a little shattering as we silently watched them celebrate the win. Still we all finally agreed that the day really was more than football, it was about Neale, MND the Big Freeze, the occasion but Jeez we should have won that.👍🥲🙏❤️💙

6 - Steven May 5 - Clayton Oliver 4 - maximus Gawnski 3 - Christian Petracca 2 - Daniel Disco Turner - what a gun 1 - Bayley Fritsch- should have won it Then Lingers, Pickett, Bowsa, Riv, Spaz, Chin and Bison. Boys had their chances and pushed the pies right to the final seconds of the game. So disappointing and felt like we were screwed.🥲
