Agree with all that. Thought Bowser played a ripper and T Mac continues to hold together the backline that's consistently missed it's star KPPs. Really hoping we can get McVee back and playing at his usual level sooner rather than later. Continue to be impressed by Langford and Lindsay, though I think Winsor hasn't got back to what he is capable of since returning to the side.

I wore Melbourne socks today as well! Didn't think anything too much of it at the time other than they were a pair of clean socks without holes in the and it was a Melbourne game, so what the heck. But as it turned out, maybe our sock powers combined in some hellish Desmon spirit today!

His return to his best form has been one of the few positives of the season to date.

Want them to have earnt it, but I also want Fritta and JVR to find their way and find some confidence and form as soon as possible. We're a better side when Fritta is at his best and JVR should be the future of our forward line and stamping his authority all over the place.

Happy and somewhat relieved to get that win today. No way should we be a 1W and 5L side that's in the bottom 4.

Didn't expect to see Oscar Mc Donald out there today. Good on him. Keeps persevering and keeping his AFL career alive. Hated seeing that goal kicked against us, but still happy for Oscar at the same time. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for the banter and sledging between T Mac and him.

Could work. Disco was a good back before he was a forward. Think he's a better forward than Petty though

And dominate? Wow, that is optimism

I have near zero expectation we can win this game today, which probably means we will. We've got to turn it around sometime right? Looking for some enthusiasm from big Tommy and Disco Turner always provides good value IMHO. Good to be getting some more games into the Kolt, Lindsay and Langford.

Yeah, nah sorry. Never good watching Hawthorn win. Was much better them getting beaten every week. Still they haven't actually acheived that much yet. If they can go another decade or five without winning another flag, now that would be damn good to watch.

Sorry, but way to early to be calling it at this point. Yes we've been puss the last two weeks, but I have some faith that with a few players back, a bit of consistency within the team and a bit of confidence back that we will claw our way back to competitiveness this season.

Would rather him than Sharp as someone with that much run is wasted as sub, but I also think Woey deserves more of a crack than 15 - 20min gametime. Quite happy that he'll contribute when he get's on though.

50 / 50 mix comming in on the Lillydale train.

Thanks Gosty. Your info is much better than the generic fluff on the club's website. Really starting to despise going to watch the AFL these days for the way they treat the average punter. I'm only getting GA tickets to the footy, bar finals, but despite the fact the ground will be half full, I've got a sinking feeling today going in that there will be so few GA seats available that it will be an ordeal to find somewhere to sit. The info on the club's 'Match Day Info' Page for today: Patrons with General Admission tickets can sit in any of the designated General Admission areas. These seats are on a ‘first-come, best dressed’ basis and are not reserved. General Admission bays are confirmed the week of the match, with specific information posted on event pages and our social media platforms the morning of the match. If you are unsure upon arrival at the stadium, please see a customer service staff member or see signage around the stadium. Useless as the proverbial P.S. There is no specific info posted on the MFCs FB Page either.
