POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
They will use the last 10 days to galvanise the group. Maybe it will be the defining moment. Yes, Iāve had three heart attacks (thanks Teddy), but they did what had to be done - even in that last 15 minutes when the meth cokes were on a high, the maggots took maggotry to a higher level and the crowd was feral - we got the job done! Some significant winding down of the clock - and then Clarrieās last clearance. Off to my cardiologist in the morning, but so proud of the boys and how they are responding to everything thrown at them. Just maybe the lightening was the last roll of the dice for the Norm Smith Curse. Dare to dream, go Dees!!!!!

POSTGAME: Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs
They had a crack. They appeared tired. But a brave ātop of the tableā loss must be in the context of the diabolical losses against Adelaide Filth and Hawthorn last week. Those losses will haunt us when we finish third or fifth and have to go where the AFL send us. On the maggots, is was the sheer volume over the night, the inconsistencies rather than obvious howlers. Maggot 1 will guarantee the Dees never get close. Always, every time. Cheat.

Football commentary does my head in
Carmody, Speed, Paplia, Bennett, Daisy - then daylight. The boys club is unbearable.

CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants
Well, that tops off a really great day!

TEAMS: Rd 16 vs GWS
As we have learnt over the last 18 months if you stay at home for the ābig screenā coverage you also have the insufferable commentators to navigate. Cannot get to the ground quick enough today, Go Dees.

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Essendon
Winning ugly is perfectly OK by me. Especially as the ultimate assessment cannot be made until the last week of September. As far as the booing goes, I missed it after quarter time, simply because I turned the sound down on the TV - not so much for the booing, but more so to shut out the insufferable, unlistenable drivel from the Channel 7 team. McLauchlan is unbearable with his forced barracking for those young gutsy bombers and disrespectful attitude towards the Dees, (and I suspect other teams who do not fit in to the corporate media narrative). Dare I say it, but I suspect the AFL got the better brother! (PS: For what it is worth, the maggotry was appalling tonight - for both sides, but certainly our lads seemed to get the rub of the green at times. However, this is no different to every game every week. Interpretation and inconsistency are the key issues - and S Hocking has a lot to answer for). Go Dees, one week, one challenge at a time.

NON MFC: Rd 14 2021
Simply loathe Geelong

NON MFC: Rd 14 2021
Since our lads have had recent prime time exposure, our family have learnt to turn the volume down on these excruciating clowns who claim to be commentators. Listening again tonight affirms that decision. Like 360 on Foxtel, it is simply not possible to listen for any length of timeā¦.

NON MFC: Rd 14 2021
Apart from loathing Geelong, it has to be the long game tonight. Yes, top spot is at stake, but a loss by Duckwoods mob at home is worth about 3 games I reckon. Go Dogs

The 2021 Rising Star Thread
Just saw the interview on 360 - the dribbling clown was exposed again by questioning Trent about his time up forward and how he got shifted to the back line. Deadpan Riv replied with a ānah, Iāve played every game down backā. Great stuff Trent. Shoddy work, again, Robbo. Despite us winning, 360 is getting virtually unwatchable because of this bloke who rants and raves each night.

The ANB Appreciation Thread
And when the āJonesyā chant went up from M51 after the game, Nibbler heard it and was laughing out loud, alerting his team mates to it and clapping the crowd! True inclusive leadership in my view. Fine work Nibbler!

Respect - Media
One week at a time.......winners are grinners.......nothing these clowns say can a) take back the 4 points, b) stop the quiet spring in the step each Monday morning after a win..... Go Dees - onwards to the next challenge!!!!!

Tribunal & MRP 2021
Keeping it personal for our Number 1. He gets 1 week for the practice match tackle in his debut year down at Casey. No one injured, significant debate about the MRP...... In May 2021, May hospitalised with a fractured eye socket to miss 4 weeks due to elbow contact, accidental or not. No 26 (with 7 citations in 5 years - thanks Titus), gets the benefit of the doubt! My god, Gillās organisation is corrupt.....or have I missed something???
-
NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
I suspect as the season wears on the āstandā call will get less and less vigilant as the maggots get preoccupied with other issues. This inconsistency will infuriate supporters as maggots will continue to determine the course of games in a most random and inconsistent way.

NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
Gibbons kick - Cox jumping up and down on the mark!! Where was āstandā?
-
NON MFC: Rd 02 2021
Great dribbler by Gibbons, BUT - clearly out of bounds when he kicked. Commentators donāt bother with any insightful analysis. Too busy delivering pre-determined lines. What happed to the automatic goal review after every goal?

TRAINING: Friday 12th March 2021
I too was at that session back in 87. Another lasting memory was that slow warm down lap at the end of training, so close to the boundary fence you could touch the players. The air was simply electric. And when the boys entered the stadium on the Sunday afternoon, Robbie led the group to fence for their warm up lap, again to the frenzied cheering of the red and blue faithful who had waited 23 years. Genius strategy. We were never going to lose that day. That 6 week block leading into this game is etched on my memory and will last forever.

POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Bulldogs
No time for panic - yet! We were truly smashed today by a well drilled unit, right across the ground. The big plusses - May and Lever , with glimpses from Langdon, Nibbler, Fritsch and Jackson, Harmes looked much better mid field, but overall pantsed by the Bont et al. The concerns - kids did not show much - but doesnāt help chasing tail all day. Turnover skills again an issue. The big question marks - Vanders (what does he actually do?), Tommy Mac - his chase down in the last quarter was great, but where were the other clunking marks? A big 10 days in front of the whole club. Like a previous poster, concerned that Benny Brown mentioned the ālearningsā that would come from a thrashing like this. The induction program is obviously working well. Time for a real statement come round 1 lads

James Frawley Retires... And Starts Playing Again
The Cheersquad story is gold! Traditional values. Gil and his clowns wouldnāt let it happen today.

So we now move to Friday night for the next instalment of a slow and agonising death........

NON MFC: Round 17
āYou canāt blame the umpiresā says Jason over the ludicrous htb decisions that just just keep coming, every passage of play, every quarter, everygame. Umm, OK, so who do we blame? Because whoever it is, they are ruining our great game.

NON MFC: Round 16
