Are we capitalising on our on-field successes?
Definitely. I think it was Chou En Lai, when asked of the success of the French Revolution said it was too early to tell*....so 6 months is way to early. Now going back to the 5 Year Rule, any success of the MFC cannot be attributed to eg G Pert because he did not join the club until um June 2018. Seems harsh so perhaps we should go on a proportional basis, and we rate him at 50%. The question is then who do we allocate the other 50% to. * Obviously misheard the French revolution for the Cultural Rev but the translators liked the quote so much they never corrected it.

Perhaps too well. Most of the items I want to purchase more of are no longer for sale at the demons shop so I will have to go to the AFL shop.

Now Lord Nev, the essential issue which this thread is trying to address is the worry that we are not capitalizing on winning the flag. Quoting a magnificent effort by the sponsorship department before we won the flag is not admissible. Very impressive though. Now if we go on the premise of the 5 year success rule, any success takes 5 years to fruition then we need to set some targets for um 2027 ( to prove we have capitalised on winning the flag) Obviously increase in Sponsorship and for me Substantial increase in Baby, Little and Young Demon memberships

New Footy Show ft. Robbo (the MFC one)
It brings back a memory of a variety show on 7 during the late 60s? where each club did one show each. Started as cringe worthy vomit and evolved into a reasonable show (brought in professional singers, dancers, musicians with the players doing cameos/background).

I suppose it depends on what you define as minimal. Going from a projected loss to $2mill + profit is not minimal to me. The club did say that the cup had brought wealthy supporters out of the woodwork offering donations and they were directed to the Red and Blue foundation. Not sure where that sits on the books.

Round 1 predictions - head to heads
For the first round I usually go with last years team until they stuff up. So the premiership side with Tomlinson/Smith for Petty (inj). Nothing startling there.

POSTGAME: Practice Match vs North Melbourne
Must have showed up Goody too as he left Smith on Cameron for most of the last 3 quarters. In that time Cameron kicked 2.1, one of the goals from a free kick and had about 5 touches

Harry Petty Out for 4-6 Weeks
Salem, Rivers and lever? say thankyou very much. Commentators said that Salem was on Cameron until 3 minutes to go in the first, then Smith. Still defence is a collaborative effort and you have to man up. Anyway good excuse to watch the qualifying replay.

2022 Champion Data Rankings
On the risible assumption that champion data is an accurate assessment of football talent lets us examine the following ancient conundrum. Which is more important : The talent of your top 6 players (elite skill) vs the talent of your bottom 6 players (depth). If one examines the MFC vs Bulldogs it is clearly depth. Note : the analysis may be skewed by the Bulldogs having a surfeit of baileys.
