58er

Very Sad Col another of our family to pass too young 3 years ago but Hope He enjoyed our 13 th premiership which has majorly lifted all our families spirits by the level of excellence 2021 maintained from Day 1. At This stage it's unknown what effect this Premiership will have on our future but the signs are positive for a great period of stabilisation success and growth if all is handled correctly. Our families were very much thought of as we triumphed last month and are Never forgotten.

Yes the Brayshaws May even produce another member of the Wingers Club for Angus and Lingers to train beside!

Yes one Clubs poison can be another Clubs treasure. And the last poison turned out to be a real treasure on GF day and previously where he majorly helped right our forward line connectivity and balance which propelled our attack to un heard of versatility and ability. When in doubt kick the ball high to Benny was used at least a half a dozen times especially in the Granny with great effect. Bens long straight arms were never quelled on the bug GF stage and gave out attack a sense of surety not seen before. This on half a season also!! Of course Polec is a different cat but he is a ferocious finisher with the ball and has genuine pace to burn. Any position on HB wing or HF he would need minding and be a real menace albeit depth fir our 2022 campaign. Rosman and Baker would be challenged as well as our culture but I think we are big boys now and can handle with our coaches precocious talent for the team mantra thing Jared has never quite bought into yet on his AFL journey. Martin Pike says hi from the Brisbane Lions !!!

Agree LFS I say CHBack I would have had him in instead of Gary Hardeman but Neiter did finish his career in the 2000,s the naughties!!!

Nothing to do with the Club what you ARE REPORTING please get facts straight before you blaspheme the Club Thru are entirely privately organised public functions with NOTHING to do with the Club.

Agree with you CrankFranky a defender on big players is Adams forte. Hasnt got the skills to go with smaller forwards like Hibbo has or Hunty, so don't agree with Dee-licious that all those are fighting for the small minding defenders position. That is Bowey or Salem's job or sometimes Hibbo or Hunt. Petty and Tommo are like for like IMO. Smithy is also a bigger player defender type if his minding of Charlie Cameron in the QUAL. Is any guide. Tommo last year did not relish the wing but maybe he can be switched there during a game perhaps on occasions. Lets keep Lingers and Gus if it ain't broke don't fix it. Having posted earlier that I would be ok with Polec as depth I believe he could be ok on the wing also HFF and HBF as a dashing player in the Hunt mould.

Dorks in 2013 are not the example of this They were runners up in 2012 beaten by less than 2 goals in arguably an upset. Also lost narrowly less than a goal in 2011 to Pies in Prelim. Not much middle order about this but your point is very valid. Port Will win soon and Bombers are future potential flag winners and if Lions can stiffen up their defence and on ballers plus have all forwards free from injury they can also kick enough goals against all but us to be in the frame I reckon.

Well worth look at as he would have 3/4 seasons perhaps but could be given 1 year with option of another or only the one first up. Clearly our defensive mantra is at stake so he maybe a half forward/ wing/ half back attacking weapon of depth and form and upon injury. Would put pressure on Baker and Rosman snd all players again to keep honest with form and contribution.Additionally Polec could not let his ego wander among our culture which will sort him out in the first sessions of pre season I would think if necessary. Interesting but worthwhile move that is smart money wise and depth also.

Petty and Tmac could easily Change between CHF and FF and CHB or FB during a game or season, Daniel Turner may be a good backup in defence with some Casey games experience behind him and Majak and Mitch Brown also offer plenty of versatility. Also Bowey and Sal em could play wing or HFF and I hope Laurie and Rosman get a good go at a number of games to build form and confidence. Nothing ever stays the same that's why we need continue the progress and produce new stars and keep pressure on the premiership heroes! Luke Dunstan and JJ say hi to the midfield Club !! Gus is still rapped about the Wingers Club and is looking for some new recruits to add to their mix. Plenty of good stories to come in 2022 and beyond if we keep putting the same effort in.

Why not ? They are big enough and sound is no issue. There are TV screens also in the MCC Reserve for extra coverage in that portion of the ground.

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

Sorry to be devil's advocate but that color is a very dark navy blue not black!

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!!!

If Bill had been commentating it would have been a pidgeon!!!!!

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.

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 ?

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 !!

Why do they get 80,000 plus to a dud?

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.

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???

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.
