Master coach Luke Beveridge

If only we could see into the future, we would never get a draft pick wrong

The award is based on subjective opinion. We’ll always argue over whether the winner deserved it or not. I don’t have any problem with Wines winning the medal Max, Trac and Clarry were always going to take votes of each other. From my biased perspective, Clarry is the most influential player in the league. Coaches award a far better reflection of players value over the season Surprised the umps don’t seem to rate any other doggies player other than the Bont. McCrae definitely worth some votes surely. Don’t know why Parish polled so well. Anytime I watched him this year his kicking was bang average. No teammates taking votes off him I suppose Awards ceremonies are as boring as. Would anyone care if the TV event was ditched and results were just announced during the week?

The umps have a real hard on for the Bont

I'll distract myself during the day with some work and taking the kids to the park. I'll watch the game with 4 other Demons supporters via MS Teams. We'll shout, cheer, curse, drink and celebrate/commiserate together. It's much better than watching alone

Delighted no issue with Spargo. Reading through this thread has not been good for the MFCSS.

I'm glad Sydney matched our bid on Callum Mills. Take about sliding doors

Tom Boyd should have won it

I think we will win but even if we lose I’ll be proud that at last we have a serious team. We’ve been a joke for long enough

I get it Jaded. I would have loved to be at the G last weekend to witness our demolition of the Cats. What an experience that would have been! If the boys do bring the cup home i'm sure we'll have a proper celebration as soon as this goddam lockdown is lifted.

Our Perth brethren aren't complaining

I know its for Covid reasons this year but from next year onwards i say ditch the pre GF bye week

Either Harmes for smothering Bailey Smith or Viney for negating Libba

I've run my eye over the 2020 financials. An uplift was booked to reflect Bentleigh at market value last year. There's no provision for the future tax liability applicable to the uplift/gain in the event of disposal which means the sale is CGT exempt

A tidy sum. I hope it is all tipped into the Home Base Development fund rather than used to cover the shortfall in revenues v running costs as a result of Covid. We had a $3m loss last year iirc correctly.

If you told me this time last year that TMac would earn a new 3 year deal i would have said you were stark raving mad. I can't think of another player who has ever turned their career around to such a degree. So lucky that no other club showed any interest. With BB and the Weid getting injured like they did in preseason we would have been stuffed without him this year Kudos to you TMac. You proved me well and truly wrong.

I think he's been a good servant particularly in 2018. A good ball user in a list which has been short of good ball users. If he does go my abiding memory of him will be the goal he kicked from on the 50 in the 4th quarter (or was it 3rd?) when we were under the pump against the Hawks in the semi and looking like we were going to choke. settled the team right down again. Beautiful techique. Drilled the ball straight through the middle.

Why does the team need to be out past 9pm anyways?

It's only Wednesday. Still 10 days to go. A 2 week break to the game is too long. I think we should go back to the traditional 1 week between PF and granny. Way too much time to kill

About time

Maxy is a big chance. The man in on a mission and completely at ease with himself and the world since slotting that after the siren goal v Geelong

A training report! Outstanding work 1re 1be

The world doesn't stop turning just because we're in the granny SONS. Other clubs are trade strategising now and so should we.
