Channel 7 Pre Game Promo?
You could certainly argue that the Dees have been cursed off field. The tragedies have been uncanny. What struck me is how old Norm looked. He was 49 in 65 but yet looked 70 plus. The Dees obviously sucked the living marrow out of him. The vision of his wife just showed how devastating the event was heart breaking. On the field I don’t think where cursed we simply have not been good enough. Both 88 and 2000 were built on solid team with passion but simply not in the same class as the premiers. This year is different there is no Hawthorn or Essendon. There are no certainties but if you value form then how we are not odds on is staggering. Forget next year the Dees will never be in a stronger position to win it. That why I’m locked and loaded for Grand Final as I truly believe after 60 years of support this is the year. I made the trek in 2018 and it was the longest flight home. The only thing that can beat us this year is COVID and if that happens we truly are cursed.

FINALS: Week 01 2021 (NON MFC)
Umpires have backed Cats. Putting aside I can’t stand Cats their game style is putrid. Stop go sideways just doesn’t deserve to win.

How young were you when Barass last raised the cup?
What this post show is many of our supporters are post 50 like me. One of the great things about this Dees team is it will hopefully regenerate our supporter base. Young people especially like winners it hard to imagine how bad our membership would be if we had seen the Neeld era extended. Whilst this team is great the foundations were built with the Roos era. What it shows is there is no short term fixes it all hard yards which make success so much sweeter. I am sure if we dip in the finals the nay sayers will jump out of the shadows but the foundations for an era of success are well in place.

Jake Lever Take A Bow
Has been an amazing acquisition. I really like how he thinks his way through. That set play to Gawn showed real nous. Could easily have blazed away. He has been a massive factor in our rise.

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
Posted in the game day thread how would our supporters have gone if they were Blues supporters in 70 granny. Low and behold same margin 44 points. Would suggest a few non believers have a good look at their posts. One word embarassing. This team is the real deal with so much upside. They have given so much enjoyment to long suffering Dees supporters. Whatever happens from here I love the team for what they have delivered.

GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Geelong
Imagine some of the posters on this site were Carlton supporters at half time in the 1970 grand final. Some of the bile towards our team and players is woeful. Yes it a bad performance but whether we win or lose you still need three wins to claim the cup. Let see what transpires in the finals before we commit hari kari

NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
Bottom line is destiny in our hands. The analysis on where you play who you play is over rated. The Dees have the form; fitness and talent to beat Cats. The difference this year to previous finals years is I truly believe we have the best team.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
Has there ever been a more depressing 21 point half time. Team changes and travel last week has to be a factor.

GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
Not surprising we started slow. Lucky to be in front. Jackson is pure class we have to do everything we can to keep. Potentially best player on our list and he only 19

If Max King hurt massive for them. Umpires really influence the games in a negative way. Gave them some momentum whey they deserve it
