Does anyone know if we had an interest in him prior to being drafted by Fremantle? Players like Rick Lever & Tommo were two that eventually found their way 'home' to us.

Dogs have gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in a blink of an eye. Clear on top before losing their final three games & main key forward and now being shunted down to Launceston to play a sudden death final in a late Sunday time slot. Judging by the pro Essendon crowd at the recent Hawthorn game down there it'll feel more like an away game in more ways than one.- POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
I don't know about anyone else but every time I watch Max run in to slot that goal last night I still have my heart in my mouth hoping it goes through the big sticks.- NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
If this game were a horse you'd pull a screen around it and put it out of it's misery.- POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
You'll never believe this but I had this crazy dream last night that we came back from almost eight goals down against Geelong to win the minor premiership and Maxy kicked the winner after the siren. Yeah, I know. Mental.- POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong

Have the Dogs been in the top four right up until the last 7 minutes of the season?- NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
This must be torture for the Dogs fans 😂- NON MFC: Rd 23 2021
Are Hawthorn getting stuck into buckets of KFC in the changing rooms?- GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Geelong
It's a glorious day outside so I'm keeping busy with some landscaping until beer o'clock at around 4pm. Then I'll put my feet up and have a look at the warm up act at the Gabba before the main event at KP. How good is it having the best Melbourne side any of us have probably ever seen and knowing they will probably only get better.- Sacred terminology
Hi TT. I ran our cheer squad with four mates at the back end of the 1980's into the early 90's. At that time everyone within each cheer squad knew them as run throughs whilst everyone else on the outside called them banners. The general consensus at the time was that Lou Richards was responsible for using the incorrect term during his match commentaries and it spread from there but I wouldn't know to be honest.- “Winning” is the new drug
A very good friend of mine set this up. In many cases it can locate an article within 15 minutes of it being uploaded and it's where I first read the latest about our new training facility next to AAMI Park. If you only want to read / watch / listen to Dees related content and not the hoi polloi sitting under us on the ladder then it's a great reference point.- Sacred terminology
I get annoyed when people say banner. It's correct name is a run through.- Finals 2021
For a governing body that's so hung up about playing games in front of crowds they seem to have no qualms about Gold Coast and GWS playing 11 games each a year in front of two guys and a dog.- Finals 2021
Hi Roy. Rangers have been known to bring in the touchline on either side of the pitch at Ibrox when we've played certain teams in Europe. A few years ago UEFA made Hearts play a European qualifier at the national rugby stadium Murrayfield when they decreed the pitch at Tynecastle to be smaller than the minimum required size, despite it being ok for domestic games to be played on.- Hypotheticals
I'd find it hard to come to terms with any of those options and am clinging to the hope that our state can get it's [censored] together by the end of the current lockdown period so we can attend games in some capacity. If we lose we lose but I want to be there regardless. There are now so many clubs that play home games at the G but finals is the one true time where the MFC have a distinct advantage over the rest when the entire northern side of the ground becomes a sea of red & blue. I desperately want us all to be there to provide the boys with that edge.- GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
Absolutely DS. Up there with Mack Daddy from the Moondog brewery.- GAMEDAY: Rd 22 vs Adelaide
It's a still, partly cloudy morning here on the west side of town. It might only be 8am but there's a hint of warmth in the air and the cherry blossoms are blooming on the tree out front of HQ so September must be within touching distance. In these lockdown times it'll be a stripped back game day affair with a walk round to our local caff Sadie Black for some take away lunch that'll be washed down by some bottles of Sunset from the Two Birds brewery down in Spotswood. Enjoy the game everyone, wherever and how ever you'll be watching it.- NON MFC: Rd 22 2021
Brisbane now on 130% with a half still to go. Makes things interesting for the Dogs next week. No pre-finals bye likely to come to their rescue this time if they drop to 5th.- NON MFC: Rd 22 2021
Saints looking shaky. Might have to switch to the Port v Carlton game.- NON MFC: Rd 22 2021
Saints handling the cauldron of an empty Kardinia Park well so far.- NON MFC: Rd 22 2021
Jeremy Cameron back just in time to strain his hammy again before finals.- NON MFC: Rd 22 2021
Right now there is 6.1% difference between the Dogs and Brisbane. If the latter have a good night tonight there is a chance the former could miss out on the double chance next week.- NON MFC: Rd 22 2021
Just turned on the game down in Lonny. Let's hope the Hawks don't do what we did down in Hobart one year and find a way to lose with a gale at our backs in the final quarter. - FINALS: Week 01 2021 (NON MFC)
