Yep. I don't doubt Burgo, but agree we're in a good position and no need to rush people back especially when there's a little buffer in the ladder and plenty of games to go.

Yze/Williams definitely adding a lot. 2019 was a strange year, May only played 8 games (2 Wins, 6 Losses), Lever played 8 games (0 wins, 8 losses) - only played 3 games together. 2020 was about gelling for these 2, and we're getting the benefits this year. In terms of the forward line in 2019 the leading goal scorers were Trac (22), Hunt (21), Fritsch (20), Tmac (18), so far in 2021 we already have Fritsch (21), Tmac (16), Kozzy (15). So seemingly performing at both ends. Hard to read too much into 2020 due to COVID. It's hard to judge Goodwin, but there have been some good additions on/off the field the last 2 years coupled in the fact we potentially overachieved in 2018.

Already won as many as last season. I've been to 7 wins this season, loving it.

Here's hoping but doubt it

WEIDS-THE-MAN

Just given them a priority ticket to Tasmania

Was wondering this, majority seemingly wearing calf length socks these days.

Apologies if this has been posted, but only just seen the tattoo This is either a good sign, or will one day be used to make us sad/laugh aha

Yep, get a unique song! Just Noticed all your fav players, well played. At my 18th (many moons ago) had the Cup Final on in the background- Went absolutely bonkers when King Peter hit the 90th minute winner.

Yes I'm all for supporting mental health, but would rather not singing a song idolized/used by Celtic/Liverpool fans aha Let me donate in silence instead aha

Demonland when @Lucifer's Hero updates the List

Trac loves NBA and you see big name players moving all the time, so part of me was somewhat worried about his long term signature - but seeing him happy to be a 'one club player' fills me with joy. Onwards and Upwards Trac.

Guess Daw as well, signed for Cover for a few key positions and we're currently without Hore/Tomlinson all season and Smith for another 8 or so, so Majak finds himself closer to the team as a defender than a forward.

*itchy trigger finger*

Cost Saving signing now!

At least it gives us an opportunity to test some things against a lesser side

Went to the game with a Tigers fan who admitted hasnt watched must Melbourne games over the last few years. His first impression of Spargo was he's too small, too slow and doesn't have an X-Factor. I then went on a passionate rant about how he's improved and adding to the team. It was like Demonland of Old meets Demonland of New.

I've been to 5 Demon Games this year, also arranging a weekend at Hotham (when we're playing interstate). Best of both worlds!

Very happy to have Salo locked in for 5 years. Reckon given the games Viney has missed that one potentially too long. Harmes somewhat long but all depends what we're paying I guess. On a side note, Kozzy Pickett shares all the good news stories on his IG page, as he did with this one, so it seems he loves the club which is great

Assume this may be the avenue they go down. He'll be 29 when this season wraps up and has another 12 months on good coin. Unless they potentially extend his contract and spread some of the 2022 salary to future years to alleviate some 2022 cap tightness? That being said just need to monitor how the forward line goes this year and look at needs/wants at end of the season.

I assume Steven May is made of titanium. The two concussions in quick succession an issue, wonder if we'll end up with two players wearing helmets. I like to call Gus 'Helmet' at times, so this would just confuse everything.

Yes, they're running through this

Got a close row on Level 2, excited but cautious of the Tiges

Loving him in the team, gives us so much versatility with Max being able to be sent to either end depending on the game; Jackson has been in 118 Ruck Contests this season (21st most) Won 59 of these (18th best) - So he's more than holding his own despite his inexperience. It's freed Maxy to just roam and do what he does best, take 16 contested marks (1st in League) and 16 intercept marks (9th) in League)

Bolded the interesting part, will be curious to see if 2020 (9 wins) an outlier or a potential new norm. (I know there were hubs/no home games/shorter quarters and other issues), just mean that before the season started you'd have figured the 6th-12th group would be relatively close (more so than previous years IMO) and all taking wins from each other.
