  1. That's not what the "experts" in 2022 are predicting. Plenty of Clubs looking for a Dogga clone!!!

    Hope you sent the damaged one back!!! That would be expected in any retail transaction. (You could have damaged it getting it out of the wrapping, etc) They don't know!!!
  4. If Bill had been commentating it would have been a pidgeon!!!!!
  5. Best footy Dees have played in the Granny ( and the Geelong last half and Qual and Prelim Finals really) in the 62 years I have been supporting them. Was lucky enough to see live at Optus in surely a Once in a Lifetime experience! Just have a funny feeling there are a few more top shelf performances like this from this group in the next 4-5 years.
  6. Also this game proved even more than before both Trac and Clarry are a half second ahead of the opposition which enables them to get the break with both their incredible skills. They are ONE grabbers don't fumble and run like the wind and are now playing with a real synergy as are many of our on ballers inc. Maxy and Dogga. They grabbed the game with Jack V who did the Libba thing and got the ball out a number of times. JV deserves great credit and has been overlooked a little because Trac and Clarry were so good. Jacks last 7/8 games are as good a block of footy he has played for the team and great credit to him. Little wonder that the margin ballooned out when so many contributed so well on the biggest stage. Many played their best games ever or equal to. Amazing second half effort from all the team eho clearly love and respect each other and play for ONE reason only A CUP and FLAG for the DEES. Thsnks MFC for an unforgettable experience which I will never forget or undervalue. Best footy I have seen the Dees play in the 62 years I have been going to games!! Wow snd what a day to turn it on. Lets see if we can win on the G in September in front of our fans in 2022.!!!

    Why not JT aylor ? or a group of them inc.Roos and Goody ?
  8. That why there is such a feeling for the Wights Broadbridges Stynes Silvias Flowers etc. We all have relatives that have missed this event some are luckier and we're around in the 50's and 60's! I feel for any one in this situation but please don't let it overrule your joy and elation on such a magnificent achievement. I was lucky enough to be able to go to the game from Brisbane but I have no guarantees about next year or a dynasty of flags st this stage either! Please embrace the present I don't want the feeling to stop.!!! One if the great days of my life and I hope to emulate it again at the G in 2022.

    KDF Thats not soaking up the situation or living in the moment.. Only worry about this gs you can control Golly Gish we have won the flag WeARE PREMIERS embrace it! A CD enjoy, The day at the G will happen ASAP !!
  10. Why do they get 80,000 plus to a dud?
  11. FGS ODee embrace our success and move with the times If ever the Dees are going to get back as a Big Club power like in the 50and 60,s With no money problems then it is NOW. Lets take the advantages and privileges given to Top teams and never be downtrodden again!! By all means go to Casey but really it's a relaxing trip without any stress. FOr MFC membership the greatness of our Club is at the G on the BIG stage agsin . Playing blockbusters with our stars lighting up the ground we call our own and have hardly see these champions play at for over 2 years.
  12. Friday night Games finish at about 10.20pm in Melbourne what's this 11.30 pm nonsense Do you have a very slow walk to the car or station???
  13. Not good money spinners or ratings for the best team in the Land our days of 20,000 at the G at home games are past and families should embrace the new time slots and money that the Dees will deserve on the big stage,

    It's a Friday night game yes it sounds a great match for your arrangements.

    Sorry Chook have you done any research on Tound 17 and seen any un beaten games between the two previous GFinalists. NO I bet and it's not ever happened I BET also so you figment if imagination is useless. Having them meet for the second time in Round 23 is ok. I can think of at least 8/10 teams we could play and fill the stadium probably 17 in Round 1.
  16. Actually a premiership player in our family doesn't get to be much higher !! 151 heroes now in the fold. Many more to come !!. 2 Flags maybe or legend status a touch above eh? Good work Hibbo !
  17. Hibbo was charmed by Hunty and Smithy being injured and had to contest with Bowey for a half back/ back pocket vacancy after the Qual. Final. As usual the Selectors made the right choice sndHibbo did not let us down. Good stopping contested games saw him emerge as part of the best backline in the AFL/ VFL for many years and is now a premiership player. Secretly I am glad he took his opportunity and that he will be there in 2022 to mind the bigger bodied forwards and mids of the opposition. Maybe that same 23 will be named in Round1 and Hibbo can be part of that record for the AFL and our Club.
  18. Yes it was Dee 75 A life changing event with good stories all around it. Hard to come down from this although I had to check in 2 days after my return to Brisbane for an elective surgery Cardioversion I was able to put off to ensure this dream was able to be real!!! Go Dees for back to Back at the G in '22.
  19. Absolutely look at Brownies 2nd we mark and goal agsin and see Gawny in front of his opponent enabling BBB to do exactly what we recruited his for ie to kick clutch and big goals!! Was stoked with BBB in the Granny ad he marked well could have had at least another 3 marks really with a bit more glue on the hands. But best teamwork from Gawny which you need from big players to win Finals. Well done big boys Max BBB Tommy and Jacko. A great team within a team.
  20. Thanks Cards Still pinching myself that it all came true!! Guess after 57 years you have to takes chance a little bit but really it was a no brainer. Boy really want to emulate this year next season with Finals at the G BTW How good has it been the way every person in the Club have embraced this extraordinary achievement. we are very lucky Dees supporters at the moment with such a humble and respectable group of players that make us feel so proud of them not only as players but superb examples of young men in every different way they knocked out of the way the challenges during 2021 and embraced their success all along the way never taking their eyes off the ball. And virtually drama free as well. Hats off to them and the Club from the new Pres down to the staffers who all played their part and deserved very success that came our way. A season to remember and one fir the Ages ( and record books)

    We are in the 21st Century a Night game is best and for crowd and atmosphere.
  22. and Dunstan!!
  23. With the name Turner Daniel should be receiving your name support for his career Turner. Close call but Hore still not a regular so has no place to defend. Younger player has more upside I believe.
  24. Turner vs Hore more upside in Turner as he may be a KPP in defence down the track. Hore a little unlucky due to injury but 3 years and not a regular spot can't keep with younger prospects for AFL appear classier and more suited to our defence. Turner may well be Petty's replacement when he replaces May after his retirement.
