A 57 year old aged whiskey would have been good.

If someone told me two years ago that we would win a flag in 2021 but the Gf would be in Perth and I couldn't get to it I think my mfcss would get the better of me. Now I couldn't care less. Just so happy to be in contention.

Off topic Mr T Uranus.. But it was interesting to look at a few of some pundits pre 2021 proclamations about the make up of the final eight. We were mostly forgotten with the odd inclusion as eighth now and then. https://www.afl.com.au/news/560486/crystal-ball-our-predictions-for-the-2021-afl-season-are-in

I reckon that was one of our best wins until last weekend.

That and playing at Kardinia gets tiresome every year. Although a big Shout out to Max.😁

I dont have an issue with this.

Port going in on winning streak will be tough. We have done well to win our last four unlike cats and dogs. This will be a red hot finals series. Lions kicking some high scores will come up against a solid defence but our forwards especially Tmac will have to lift a lot. Not too worried about the dons who make up the numbers but all seven others are great teams this year especially the Swans. Gws and dogs we have an equal record.

Can Weid play as a defender? Would he be any good in that role? Maybe on that basis worth keeping. I would love seeing Petty at Chf at some stage. Reckon he would crush it.

Well this is a better option than the chance of playing port in ADelaide. Just hope all the non mfc fans don't hate us for beating eagles and boo us to death. Alice Springs would have been my choice but probably too small.

This is a really tough one. He has been a great gutsy player, captain and loyal servant of the Mfc . Is he good enough to play ie best 22 and if so is there a specific player for him to nullify? The idea of medical sub sounds good but it carries a risk element if we lose someone early. There is so much at stake that if hes not best 22 then the smart thing would be to leave him out. I would say that given the depth of our list and lack of injuries he's not playing again. Its tough but flag chances have been bloody tough to say the least. Sadly NJ would be the first to accept his omission for the sake of a flag.

Its hard to see cats go out in straight sets as much as I would enjoy it. I think your on the money with Port at home in hot form to take them out. But given their forward line I get the feeling we may see them again. But who knows, outside of the Dons all of these teams are dangerously talented so it will be one hell of a finals series.

He does do it but in all fairness as a smaller player one doesn't have to do that much to be given high contact frees.

Frostys style was the opposite of Levers calmness😁

Great post Chook. He was in his best form circa 2018. I was always surprised how fast he was. And Hogan was awesome. Also Garlett. When those two were firing as was Tmac we had a powerful forward line. But we had no Fritta or Bbb.

Frost was a big part of our success that year but it was always heart in mouth stuff. Id forgotten until we played hawks first time this year. Omac.. well Ill keep quiet. Im glad you think Bbb is an improvement because I think he has been very good and perhaps will be a wildcard in the finals like Weid was. But the maturity of our Mids is a big difference as well as Langdon who I feel is finally back to his old form.

Whatever happened to Diamond Joe?

Henderson took 15 marks which is a great effort. Its incredible Max got to take that mark somewhat uncontested. Great kick from Lever. I bet he'd be a great forward.

As long as its a boy thats all that matters. Apologies the AFWL.

They were the dark ages for our club I guess.

Just because I can't get enough of footy talk I thought I put this out for the true football brains trust to determine. Is this team better than the 2018 team and why? Lever and May to say the obvious one but what else?

Clearly demonstrated in the cats second qrt onslaught imho.

I mentioned in a post that when watching live it seemed were playing poorly. But i think i have too much emotion at times. Watching the replay we were not doing too much wrong. We didn't stick a few tackles as well as we could.Defence got a bit overwhelmed from cats doing really well with centre clearances. But a few of those were from free kicks. Cats seemed to get lucky bounces and the fall of kicks. It happens in a strange way at times. But the umpiring on the whole was below par especially with the insufficient intents. I reckon in about seven of our last eight games we won the free kick count on one occasion. I'm so glad were not playing port at home. Good luck to the cats i reckon.

That was such a howler of a non call.

What happens if we face port in a prelim.... Does anyone know where it would be played.

Was so happy for the doogies to win a flag. Its hard not support a team thats missed out for fifty plus years. The more the merrier.
