leave it to deever

I.m guessing you are in no way alone given our Norf history. But that said we are a different team including the one we fielded 10 weeks ago against them. Yes it's their home ground but aside from the history this is a top 4 side against a bottom 4 side.

You were smart. My children and I shared a train carriage with a drunken Tigers Yobbo that aside from his incoherent yelling kept stepping on everyone's toes.

In the last few weeks, I have seen Hunt defy gravity with a 70 metre torpedo. Galett bend time and space with his miracle goals. Smothers that make me wince. Jetta perform great feats of acrobatic skill. Oliver fly without wings. Max to break a pole vault jump record without a pole. The 50m dash smashed. Feel free to add some more.

Greatest game in the world by miles has gotten better by us winning again.

I used to collect bottles as well. Lived near flats in St Kilda where it was a gold mine. I would stack them in the back yard awaiting refunds. When the price of return jumped from 10 cents to 20 it was like my portfolio doubled. Bought my first skateboard with the proceeds.

Are you sure it was lemonade? The amenities at Moranbin were deplorable.

We also haven't been smashed by other teams. In fact, there have been very few smashings this season so therein lies the answer. Teams have never been closer than this season. Yes, I would love to see us put Norf away by 12 goals but I'd be happy with a 1 point win as well. We need to put this year and last against the backdrop of a decade of shite. We are not beating teams by more than 40 points but we are at least beating teams we have not beaten for eons. From that angle this team is awesome.

Thanks for answering. I counted Brayshaw as I wanted to know how many on our list altogether. I was looking at the stats against port. There was a reasonable difference in the games played and I think we were about a year younger.

I was wondering o the weekend how many top 5 draft picks out on the ground with Trenners playing. You'd be the type of poster I reckon that would know the answer. How many does the MFC have at present and is Brayshaw one?

While I agree 100% with your comments you need to be careful not to turn into Grandpa Simpson.

"If footy was an aftershave" What a great feeling this winning business is. If we could only bottle it and have it every day.

I meant the media in general. I believe he is one of the best defenders going around but he is hardly ever raved about by commentators in the games I have watched.

Great post ...especially comments about Jetta. He works tirelessly and so consistently yet never seems to get much love. He reads the play so well and rarely gets beaten especially one on one. Can still see him from a couple of weeks ago popping up like a cork after going down (near Frost in the last mins) to save the day. I would argue that you forget to mention Milkshake's coming of age for MFC.

Look ma I've got a whistle.

This is a great season from the club but bloody stressful as well. Every week seems like a final in that its so bloody close. Glad the eagles and saints lost. Now the dogs are knocking. Dons have a high percentage and an easy run home as do swans. Must win against norf despite 11 year hoodoo which is pretty damning, NO change.

Big Max. Sorry about the late reply.

The highlight of today was Gartletts point of the year.

He threw up at quarter time.

Its comforting to know come finals we can beat Crows and Port. Would have beaten cats if kicked straight and Tigers caught us depleted with 3 players down on the day.

Your right I guess just thinking out loud but there is no reason we cant win 4 more. Having said that I would still like to know.

Will 12 wins give us a finals birth?

I hope hes OK, His form in the first half is what has been so badly missed. Him in form wins matches.

He was Garlettesque in his crumming.

Thats what I meant to say. Thanks.

Not for me ....I reckon about 5 of his handballs were to a player under much more pressure than himself. I agree re Hogan. Props to Jetta, Hibberd, Tyson and Gawn.
