Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
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.

Grand Final Venue Watch
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.

Will Nathan Jones get a farewell game?
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.

Finals Predictions
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.

Spargo a ducker?
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.

Three years makes a difference
Frostys style was the opposite of Levers calmness😁

Three years makes a difference
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.

Three years makes a difference
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?

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
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.

Jess Gawn to deliver during finals?
As long as its a boy thats all that matters. Apologies the AFWL.

THE RISING OF THE DEMONS
They were the dark ages for our club I guess.

Three years makes a difference
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?

Free Kick Differential 2021
Clearly demonstrated in the cats second qrt onslaught imho.

Those 4 goals in the second quarter
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.

How I feel about other supporters who want to jump on our journey
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.

Dont forget the woo hoo man.

FINALS: QF vs Brisbane
Not sure if cats will get up against port. Its a tough crowd. With selwood, danger and hawkins still good players they are all over 31 this could be the end of an era.

Spargo a ducker?
Love to see him in the middle for a while.

Spargo a ducker?
Besides given the free kick differential, someone has to help fix it.

FINALS: QF vs Brisbane
Hi Dlanders Does anyone know if we win where we will play the prelim. If port win we dont want to be playing in adelaide. Finishing first....is it our call?
-
CHANGES: QF vs Brisbane
Tmac is certainly a confidence player and being absent was going to have a say. Hell bounce back. Especially finals. Also was responsible for our winning streak at the start.

Jake Lever Take A Bow
Im pretty sure that's what he was saying to the cats player who he jumper punched and had the free reversed. It was worth it.
