leave it to deever

Best analysis yet.

While most of our team have been consistent this year it seems every week someone steps up to a new level. I love it.

Power at a dollar twenty Dogs at three dollars and fifteen. Will be tough for dogs at a ferral home game but dogs odds seem attractive. Not sure why port are that big a favorite. Apart from gws the dogs were the only finalist to beat us so they are underrated.

That shot of Gary laughing at Max kicking his fourth goal said it all.

I wonder if our round 23 comeback had any part in our win yesterday. It fuelled our confidence and no doubt gave them concern if they could really win. Was great to see us toying with them in the third quarter.

Lets be honest most of us are one eyed red and blue supporters. In 2000 we dreamt of what could be as we did three years ago. Both were misguided. In 2000 we met an incredibly talented dons team and in 2018 while our two finals efforts were great it was always a long shot against eagles at home. But this year after being minor premiers, smashing lions and cats we must be faves and thus our best chance in over fifty years to win a flag. My goodness. Im elated just making it. It must be euphoric to actually win one.

First on the list is to send commiseration messages to all the cats fans i know.

We all knew he was special. But a lot of high draft picks for mfc have failed to be as good as expected. Trac has gone to the next level we thought he could.

Max to spend more time up fwd.

Not bad after not playing for a while.

Tmac could be moved back and Melk . Joel Smiths fitness isnt guaranteed. If ok then agreed. But im hoping Mays fine and no change.

Absolutely. At 0ver 200 cm I am astonished at how he gathers the ball. Yesterday he combined that with dare i say it...CATlike reflexes in getting ball to boot on the run, through the goal. Its freakish. Jackson isnt far behind either in this department.

Imagine if they didnt get a good run from the umps.

In the victorious and dominant years ahead we will acknowledge this win as a turning point.

Maxs crumbing skills are on par with Kozzies.

Seven marks. Two goals a poster and a very near miss on another. Really starting to strut his stuff and clucking his marks. Not many backlines are having intercept marks with him, max and jackson about.

We could have subbed Jones in the last easily.

I think he has lifted a lot lately.

Lets not forget that if Max missed that goal in round 23 cats were minor premiers. ( they must hate Max) Its not like we thrashed a team that just scraped into the final eight. The cats also had a lot of players with much more finals experience. Our key defender did a hammy.

During the h and a season so many commentators pitted us v cats as the best fwd line in gfc v us the best backline. Pffff.

Glad to see Salem, Petty and bbb get some love. Thought Sparrow did more than enough. A gutsy effort by May to actually go back on the ground. Jack Viney of old.

That final plus our remarkable comeback at fortress kardinia will make it hard for the gfc to beat us for a long time.

The margin was really bigger than 83. Cats had two goals that were from iffy free kicks. In the final quarter...oliver...trac and Max spent a good deal of time on the bench. Could have easily been 100 plus and that in a prelim is better.

Pretty much what the cats did to us in round 23. Talk about a purple patch or should i say Max patch.
