Best Player to wear #31 since Ron Barassi.
Does being a childhood Demon supporter count? I admit all his accolades came at the Dogs but a goal average of 3+ is marginally short of his career average.

2021 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner
Can't wait to see him in action. At 192cm not sure where he fits but if he has the talent will find a way.

CHANGES 2021 by The Oracle
True. And if you dont like the player who will be available at your pick, then you try and trade the pick up or down the list.

Will a team improve enough to challenge us next year?
Perhaps 2023 and beyond. I hear there is a gun father/son in the pipeline, goes by the name of Methuselah.

Best Player to wear #31 since Ron Barassi.
Surely he delivered enough to win the B&F in 1968? And a hamstring away from being a premiership player.......

Any news on how Bailey Laurie and Fraser Rosman are progressing?
They showed some pace running onto the ground after the GF siren.

Best Player to wear #31 since Ron Barassi.
One of the commentators said that Fritta was the best footballer to wear #31 since Ron. Another said 'What about Ray Groom?'. Well here is a list of players who have worn 31, courtesy of Demonwiki. At one stage it looks like we tried to demystify the #31. Ray Groom - 92 games, 36 goals. B&F 1968. Missed 1964 with a hammie. Most successful politician to wear Red&Blue? Billy Barham - Rickys brother Paul Goss - Norms brother Peter Garratt - no not that one Phil Carman Kelvin Templeton - averaged 3 goals a game at the Dees but didn't bring ultimate success. Rod Keogh - Trevors nephew. More success at St Kilda. Played in the 1997 GF. Donald Cockatoo-Collins - Che and Davids brother. Paul Wheatley - famous for kicking the first super goal. Un realised potential? Tom Scully - the less said the better. He can 'gut run' into obscurity. Jack Grimes Bayley Fritsch - premiership player who averages 6 goals in a GF. To me it is Fritta vs Groom (vs Templeton). Does anyone remember Groom playing? All I can remember is that he collided with a goal post. Certainly none of the above can beat Bayleys medal.

Why on earth would we want a 29 year old? We are not coming up to a premiership window, we have smashed the door down and grabbed the cup. Our goal to goal line is starting to look old. Lets pick someone with youth and exuberance, which is what won us the cup. St Kilda perhaps...

2021 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow
I know where I sit on Sparrow, absolute fan. 2nd and 3rd efforts are great. Sparrows kick to Fritta for his first probably would have gone through for a goal. Agree there were other options other than his long bomb but as ND said 'You can break team rules provided it comes off'.

2021 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow
Always thought that having a player who can kick a very long goal is worth persevering with. Can change the momentum of the game with one kick. One of my favourites.

2021 Player Reviews #30 Alex Neal-Bullen
I had a friend with the surname of Bullen and they told me it derives from (Anne) Boleyn. ANB is MFC royalty and doesn't lose his head.

Still a kid. He looks like he has been told to report to the headmasters office when whatever he has attempted hasnt come off.

MFC entry for Dancing with the Stars. Great balance, superb leap and lightening quick on his feet.

The team with a young and up and coming mid field will be the ones to watch. Not sure how the Blues players will take to Voss. Essendon?
