Hot Future Forwards
Will Verrall is the same size as Luke Jackson so he is tall enough for a ruck/forward, he and Jed Adams need big pre-seasons so we can see how good they are, when fit and healthy both came to us with injuries. !!

Stats Files - 2023
Thanks DD What these stats point out is that We have to make significant improvement in a number of key area’s if we want to remain in the top echelon of teams, we need some new blood, as Adonski pointed out several times one player won’t make the difference we need 4-6 new players to put some pressure on our existing players. We need some new perspective on how to improve the skill sets and get the absolute best out of our existing players. Time and tide wait for no man.!!!

2023 Positives
That’s a great pickup layzie we all take it for granted but you are correct we didn’t lose games because we ran out of gas most of our losses were purely lack of finishing skills.Selwyn Griffith take a bow.!!!

Thank you Demonland
Thank you Demonland and all posters I am addicted and enjoy reading through most threads there is so much footy knowledge and information on this great site that I no longer buy a newspaper as the info on this site is more reliable less sensationalised and gets down to the grass roots level, that I enjoy and this type of knowledge, insights and information just isn’t available on commercial press. Also a big call out to DD, LH and DC I closely follow stats, list management and membership status and you all do such a great job.❤️💙💕

Vale Ronald Dale Barassi - Rest in Peace
What a man, what a legend what a Hero for us kids even up in the country my father loved Checker Hughes, Norm Smith and Ronald Dale Barassi and dad followed him to each club that he coached. I stayed true to MFC but not dad he followed Ron and barracked for the team he coached. RDB will be sadly missed but long remembered for what he did and gave to Australian Rules Football.❤️💙💕💕💕

Wow DD some huge lifts and some massive drop offs from critical players we didn’t get an even spread in either final some rose up and a lot didn’t. Footy is such a hard game to play and to watch. A game of huge moments Jake takes a mark and instead of maintaining possession kicks to a pack, Kozzie hits the post. Acres takes a brilliant mark and kicks the winner with a serious shoulder injury.!!!

2023 Positives
I loved going to the footy this year so enjoyable as previously mentioned never out of games, watching our membership continue to grow, building expectation, seeing the new blood emerge McVee, JVR, Woey, Laurie I want to see more next year. Top4 finish sitting in a crowd of over 90,000 in both finals where the noise was breathtakingly loud and almost winning both, the sheer anxiety of those two games is still palpable in my mind and the slow walk out of the G surrounded by happy and sad supporters which seemed to take hours, the mixed thoughts of what could have been, the great plays, the errors that rattled my brain. Ahh to be a Dee supporter.❤️💙💕

Are we all on the Giants bandwagon?
Yes, yes and yes my family are riding GWS like Sea Biscuit lol.!!! I love the way they play they have a bit more height, pace and skill through the midfield, the very thing we need to stock up on this draft period. Dare I say it, Go Giants and please leave a calling card with Maynard.!!!!

Goody - Genius or insane?
I was sitting up in the bleachers last night MCC L4 the only benefit is that you can see the whole game, match ups, ball movement, strengths and weaknesses. The thing that stood out to me was our ability to close down a side and change the way they play, we were very dominant in in so much of the play whereas the stark difference was their ability to make something out of an error their finishing skills were superior to ours as were the Pies. This is the area that Goodwin and his team must rectify in the off season, you absolutely have to be able to take advantage of all the hard work done up the ground which we are really good at.!!

Goody - Genius or insane?
But only if the players are up to it. We did not lack opportunity ElDiablo we kicked 28 points and 9 out on the full in the two finals game. Game set and match to our opponents.😢

Goody - Genius or insane?
Unfortunately Goody is 3 points away from being a genius with the mosquito fleet last night, however to watch the team squander shot after shot then see the captain miss two gettable goals and spoil a certain goal was quite frankly a bit mind numbing. Some very getable shots went begging last night. So near and yet so far, much better than the blowout that I half expected.!!!

Maynard must get at least four weeks
I’d say they are very unappealing, in fact I would call them a disgrace and head high hits are now sanctioned.👎👎
