Your continued under valuing of Fritta in comparison to our champion defenders is very strange. He has now started to average more than 2 goals a game in the best AFL competition in the land. And he keeps oN improving. His bags over 2 per game including a stellar Finsls Series in the last half of the season were a sure sign of Bsyley being at the top of his game. 6 in the GF was nearly Norm Smith Medal standard. You are also still one of the very few that have not recognised the skills and improvement inc. tackling and pressure in Bayleys game. Time to admit you are wrong and give credit where credit is due.

Your comparing local footy last century and training habits of local Clubs is irrelevant with AFL requirements for success in the 2020's! As was proven ( even only for a year or two) by Burgess You train as you play.

More like the Saints!

Trac's 7 years is at a completely different stage of his career than Ben King extending by 2 years It's not even logical to compare.

A retraction would be the best DD I would have thought .

The curse originates from Norm Smiths statement that Melbourne would have a very long period of lack of success. Not as you are interpreting it Tiers.

Lions were murdered by the Umps especially in the last half. This was not he Prelim Dante. Lions would still have had to beat Port at Adelaide Oval to play us again Dogs played good Prelim Final but no pressure from Port. Kenny H is on his last chance in 2022!

DD What are you referring to when you say "taking stuff"". Warnie completely denies taking drugs most emphatically in a number of occasions backed up by a number of friends . Perhaps you need to let us into your interpretation of your statement please.!

Why don't we change this title to "The no longer embarrassing records Melbourne have changed or have performed since 2014 or 2015. We could at the top of the post just list the very small few we need to address and mark them off when they occur. BTW we must be near the GF record for scoring in the last quarter 9.1 . I think Essendon may have that with 9.6 in 1984 but a check or D/L with the record Would tidy that one up. Surely our 16.4 is a last half record if not even a record for any half of GF footy!?

Most of the Tayla Harris credit can be shared between our excellent player management ( credit to Coaches snd players also Daisy) and to Tayla herself. She is totally team committed this year and does not seem to have the distractions of previous Carlton campaigns such as boxing and social media. Oh and let's not forget Tayla starts with one huge advantage. She is such a hugely talented player with great feel for the situations of the game. Similar in a way to Stephen May and we all know how good that has turned out!!

5 D. Pearce 4. L. Mithen 3. T. Hanks 2. L. Pearce 1. E. West ( would have been higher if not for her burning a player (Daisy) in the first quarter and her substandard kicking but her approach snd energy are magnificent snd remind me of the "old" Clarry before he gathered composure with his disposal and breakaway speed. Rest of team all contributed and played good Roles snd are in good form at the right end of season.

Absolutely the same LH. What great footy we played We can look very skilled away from Casey wind. The girls are looking like our AFL team so composed and confident. It's very cruel when Covid strikes and Freo have potentially had their season ruined which I feel a bit sorry for them. I am praying snd keeping my legs crossed we don't have last minute similar events. Got to say though our players are very disciplined and our Club has managed both AFL and AFLW health snd player injury magnificently since the pandemic commenced in 2020. ( Joel Smith aside is the only occurrence we can even point to and I guess the jury could be out on him). Keep up the good work Perty and Co ( turn away Mach 5) and congrats also on IG being resigned until 2024. Go Dees

No other Clubs have had Family Days so it's an obvious Covid thing!

None of that her time will come Colvin match hardened and stronger although smaller I too was surprised but never fear Tahlia is tracking very nicely.

Orlando Oskar and ZaraS I understand your situation BUT 1. I have never had to wait more than about 20/25 mins for Membership to answer. 2. Email response was about a week in time that's not good but I simply rang and got through as in 1 above after 2 days. 3. Ring about 3pm close at 4pm weekdays but if online before are taking calls.or early at 9am. 4. Mum can't use the computer ? Can be done by going into Membership on the MFC website. 5. Ring and speak to Admin and ask them to return a call to youvre your memberships. 6.You can also get on a Rollover in Membership from season to season which starts in October and automatically comes out of your Bank Account (You can pay monthly if that suits better) 7. Ticketing for matches is different again this year and Membership can assist with help on any questions. I have always found Membership Dept to be about 25/35 mins wait away and also super accomodating. Good luck and Go Dees

Probably more like 75,000 I would think if Bombers win one of their games.

I would have Hibberd first as he minds players and can play tallish and small. And is a good distributor of the ball. Hunt will be better in with the other6 thatare regulars ( Tommo for Petty) Smithy can get some form and judgement in the Casey team and hopefully keeps injury free.

They (JVand Fritta) did not play last week Give them some slack.

His Footy IQ is limited and any of his so called attributes none are really up to AFL standards. Marking might be his best but coming from 3/4/5: deep last night is wasting a defenders position on the ground. He did not impact the game at all vs tall or small last night. Hunt had a poor game caught betwixt and between. He has a base to work off ie. pace and ball carry snd with the other 6 last year worked well. Smith had only 3 games and stuffed up his big chance on Cameron. Why Hibbo wasn't selected for that is mind boggling. Tommo is best on the taller less mobile types ie Martin and English and Schacke and Hunt is a safer bet vs smalls than Smith. Bowey Salo Maysie on Norton Hibbo maybe on Weightmann. as his strength might worry Bowey. Back to a team defence aspect and our mids on their game ( big game performances) any bath water or umpire disrespect should disappear when that Long awaited Flag is gloriously handled and raised by our previous 8 legendary Captains headed by the best in RDB. Can't wait.

Dee Spencer Sam Mitchell says hi!! YES

Goody's "hate affair" with Lockhart and his treatment is completely OPPOSITE to Joel Smith. Nearly fell off my chair just now when Goody said Joel ( and Tommo who was ok ) put together nice games and were fighting for Harry Petty's spot.Last night should have ruled out Smithy as all he did was fly in the air with about 3 others ( even got some frequent flyers points but no votes!) and never got to the contest. Chandler as Vineytime suggests could Perhaps train as a back pocket type as I can't really see him making it as a half forward. Can kick the ball a long way also! Refer last week vs North. I'll be surprised if one Demonlander doesn't put his 2 cents worth on my post sometime today!

Wasn't an email to each member. posted on prominent part of website on Wed afternoon. Not everything these days is an email!!

For GSake JD the Tmac experiment for a wing that never made more than training last season is where it belongs, out in the undergrowth outside Casey Fields fences with the slitherers and Aussie Zoo reptiles. After Tmac's great comeback season last year to drag his name up for a wing is ridiculous at best, pathetic and unhelpful at worst. Since when did he play any meaningful part or ever look like a modern day centreline asset? Yes you will point to 5 minute cameos at the start of games early in 2018 to get him primed up for CHF or FF. And delusional fans ( like the coach or whoever ) think he could be a full time wingers Club member with Angus and Lingers are about as clever as Mark Neeld on match day tactics. It's like not deleting an email on your 2018 inbox for a street closure for 3 days In June that year. WASTE OF SPACE. Thankfully 95% of Dees fans have consigned some old habits after last season and very soon either Howes or Rosman may be developed enough to release Angus to his former duties if that's the direction is favoured. That in no way is a certainty as I was privileged to see front and centre seated on the wing at Optus Stadium last September Angus play his best ever game and be in the top5 for us in our flag triumph. He was everything a player could have been anywhere in a Demon guernsey that day so it's not an issue that Tmac is any where near solving especially as he has found his mojo at CHF again and his 2018 cameos have been deleted from Coaches files and hopefully 2022 supporters memories of yesteryear. I trust you are too embarrassed to even reply to this post.

To watch you had to register an interest and info on the day was sent, The main thing out of it was that each section of the Club gave a report or Coaching, Off Field, Playing but very few questions were asked snd even referred to. Richo Goody Perty and Tim Lamb gave reports and Ben Gibson compared the night which went for about 35 minutes from memory.

I we would play Tmac in defence on McKay snd Weid 2nd ruck with Gawn and Dogga at CHF and changing in ruck with Weid on occasions .
