    Watching the Preliminary Final with SEN Commentary 

    It’s a beautiful thing

    Whately and Hudson are both Jeelong tragics!!

    they do call it well

    Yes they actually call the game and explain how/why a goal is kicked.  And G Healy still does not like us.  And I am only up to half time and they have practically called the game for the Dees.

    Here is a list of MFC players to wear #24 since 1964, courtesy of Demonwiki. There are some interesting names there, but not a lot of games wearing #24, or games for that matter.   Note that Ian Ridley is just outside the date range.

    Ross Dillon

    Wayne Delmenico

    Graham Osborne

    Kelvin Richards

    Tony Martyn

    Des O'Dwyer

    Steven McCarthy

    Brett Bailey

    Luke Beveridge

    Phil Gilbert

    Clay Sampson

    Russell Robertson

    Liam Jurrah

    Jay Kennedy Harris

    Trent Rivers

    I think there is no doubt that Robbo is the standout, but then Dillon and Jurrah?

    What do you think?

    48-14 inside 50 marks during finals series. We destroyed opposition defences. 

    Sure did.  I watched the 2nd quarter to bring myself down to earth, then watched the 3rd and 4th quarters which got me back right up.

    I didn't think the Dogs back 6 had a good game (Cough up) but Sparrow kicked his goal unmarked at CHF, and in the 4th Jacko and TMc did similar.  What was the dogs defensive play?  Commentators said the Dogs were short a back man and with Wood pulling the pin asap they are now short 2.

    Also in Bevos Blink of an Eye interview, he seemed very disappointed that the momentum was still with the Dees immediately after 3 quarter time break.

    Original 1939 Melbourne souvenir pennant.

    4 years ago when I was moving house I took most of my MFC memorabilia to the local Collectibles shop.

    The chap running it said (naturally) that of all the AFL sides, MFC had the lowest demand.  

    memory is somewhat hazy but I didnt make big $$$ out of the stuff so your pennant say $20.

    Then again the market should be hot for MFC so you may do better.

    I wonder where Jeff Farmer is in all this?

    He was so happy at the ‘G in 2018 I would have thought he would have been part of the celebrations this year. 
    i do hope all is ok 

    Well being in WA he obviously aint coming to VIC.  I thought Garry might have flushed him out.  Someone posted that Jeff had painted his garage door RednBlue.

    Anyone seen the OX?

    I’m not certain whether this has been mentioned or not but a bigfooty poster Davo-27 has an interesting perspective on the draft. He ranks players in tiers starting with the elite tier and going down:-

    Elite: Daicos, Horne-Francis, (Callaghan, Darcy) (4)

    Top Tier: Hobbs, Erasmus, Ward, Goater, Amiss, Fahey, Van Rooyen, Wanganeen-Milera, M Johnson, Rachele (10)

    Quality: Roberts, Sinn, Long, Knevitt, Bazzo, Gibcus, Andrew, Chesser, Conway, Banks, MacDonald, Browne, Draper, Sonsie, Wilmot, Dittmar, Clarke, Curtis (18)

    Quality with some question marks: Molan, Windhager, Ferres, Hough, Aleer, Regan, Brown, Soligo, Owens, Jones, Tunstill, Lohmann, Taylor, Benning, C.Hamilton, Beecken, Rankin, Burgoyne, Jackson, Uwland, Motlop, Rayson, Archer, Willis, Sheldrick, Dib, Williams, Murray, Rossimel, H.Hamilton, Butler, Bergman, Howes, (19 yr olds) Doultree, Trudgeon, Cleary, Gribble (37)

    This is a good way to look at the overall list of players - there will be some players missing and some disagreements about how high or low players should be ranked but I think it’s a different way to look at the players available to be drafted.

    No Woey....

    Cotchin, Reiwoldt and Edwards are getting towards the wrong side of 30

    Not getting to the wrong side of 30, they are the wrong side.  Prestia is 29 and someone called Lambert is 30, Martin 31.  Who else do they run through the mid field?

    Still they could probably do a Geelong and make finals.  Need Dusty to fire.

    It was, to me, just an incredible (in the true sense - unbelievable) turnaround in the following 8 or so minutes.

    And most of the football world agree with you.  Many commentators were left speechless and stunned.   They could not comprehend what they had witnessed.  The AGE described it as the best GF 3rd quarter ever.
