All frustrations aside the Premiership is a huge windfall for the club.  

Hope so.  When Norf won in the 90's they struggled to make a $ due to their small membership nos and pricing to fit.

Crows struggled too as in those days the Club had to cover the cost of travel and accommodation in Melbourne; or so they said.

But luckily for us the Dees supporters have come out of the woodwork (or if you are an Aliens fan they have come out of the ceiling) and snapped up all the cheese boards asap.

Strange but I saw a bit of Chris Heffernan in him and that was a bit weird as I never think about Bombers, am I hallucinating.😳

I hope so.  An average player that looked better in a great team.

Mustn't be any good or AFL would have found a way to stop us getting him like with Mac Andrew and stripping our northern zone and giving it to Suns etc etc.

Reminds me in a few ways of Gavin Wanganeen. Seems to have a very cool under pressure disposition despite saying he was nervous before the game and like him looks to have relatively short legs compared to his body so looks like he's buzzing along with a very rapid short stride.  

Is his bottom as big as Gavins?  Just asking as I sat next to some Port supporters who predicted every free kick he got - stick bum out lean forward and get paid in the back

Ratten sacked

Geelong name a successor

I loved the two Ronnie's but going back even further was Dads army.

Yep Geelong seem to have been around for ever.

Seriously, Dads Army - very funny, though they shouldn't have made the last season.

Don't tell on me but I have used some lines from Dads Army on Demonland.

IMPROVEMENTS:

- Production

Um what does Production mean? can't get the ball?

Right we were on a roll and then....

Jacob, Blake, Taj, Judd and and Andy!!!  Garden variety Andy....still Moniz- Wakefield makes up for it and a hyphen too.

Seriously, Andy welcome and good luck.

we need cheaper home grown options pushing up.

Totally agree; TMc pick 53, Hunt 57, Harmes was a rookie?, Fritta whilst pick 31 showed his stuff at Casey....now we dont seem to go that deep in the draft....

48 minutes ago, DeeSpencer said:

JT’s entire strategy with this draft was to get cheap needs based picks so we can keep the list together. If we have to make aggressive moves to fill needs we might have to push out players and that’s how you get in trouble. 

I am not quite certain about cheap needs but we have really tried to keep the list together; taking the whole squad to Perth was very inclusive.

And have we ever had a Blake? I'm confident in saying we've never had a Taj. (Hardly going out on a limb, there).

We are definitely going for diversity this drafting season.

Casey Voss or Blayne O'Loughlin

Either are suitable as we have never had a Blayne or a (male) Casey play for the Dees

Show him Brayshaw's game in the grand  final and train him up to play like that.

In terms of kicking, can we aim higher?

Second edit: my quip about Belgium is a stupid reference to the fact that it is an arbitrary state, assembled from many different regions, languages and ethnic groups who were unable to break free from the imperial rule of the Spain in the 1580s. Not much unifies it other than that, and that today they are called 'Belgians'.

Most entertaining though.  Apart from chocolate should we also add in beer and fountains where the water comes out of private parts?

And again, is this the first Jacob to pull on a MFC jumper?

Just waiting on the origins of BH’s name, if there are any acronyms, abbreviations or initialisms involved before I decide on whether or not he’s a good pick. 

I think we are in uncharted territory.....the first Blake to play for the Dees, I think....

Racist comment. Deserves to be cancelled & a 5 year ban.

I don't think they would be too upset as they are both dead.

JT has said we are more so this year compared to other years, now looking to bring in players based on needs as opposed to best available. Understandable given we now have a premiership list and want to contend for as long as possible.

JT has said a number of times that we will go for what we need rather than best available so I am assuming we will go tall;  unless of course our need is best available player

One of my favourite photos.  From memory one of the NAB Kickers ran up to join in then realised who they were and stopped.

Thanks for posting a link not behind a paywall.

TBH any shots of berlin landmarks with MFC colours in the foreground would be great.  (We enjoyed Berlin)

LJ  hands down

In terms of potential and probably talent I could possibly agree but at only 30 odd games .......  Otherwise we could end up in the mythical realms of the 3rd Flower brother and the 4th Waugh brother....

Ross Dillon's reputation suffers from playing in a terrible team for all his career. On the other hand, he did get to sit with the Queen, Prince Phillip and Princess Anne. (It's a bit sad when that's probably the highlight of your career.)

Great photo.  (How did Ross Smith get in that photo opportunity)
