I think FC Barcelona is maroon and blue? I also go for them btw. I meant to say all the teams that are nicknamed devils or demons. In terms of game day experience I do tend to get carried away, I am one of those vocal and loud supporters (I have found myself shouting BALL! as much as the next bloke).

I am hopeful we do understand that. I think all the necessary foundation are there (young talent, cap space?, star players committed long term). Jackson and Oliver contracts will be key and pivotal for the next phase of long sustained success.

Red Devils not going well I am afraid, bottom of the ladder ala 2009-2013 Dees. It seems that the demon family around the world (ManU, AC Milan et al) is not doing so well except for the MFC.

No hard feelings from my side, I just don't like to feel lonely at the game haha (last game only myself and my missus were sitting in our designated row).

Can't see the current list plummeting in the next 6 or 7 years, provided that we have an adequate list management plan.

Are you suggesting Bowey can take Salem's place in the half backline? I do like Bowey's use of the ball but at the same time I feel Salem is more damaging for our transitions to our forward half. Can't make up my mind on this idea.

I for one will not miss one single home game, unless I am not in the country. I guess each to his own, but our players definitely deserve better. GO DEES!

So what's the preference of the majority of our members and supporters? I have read people complaining about night time games and asking for more twilight/arvo games (can't see the club not wanting to be in the prime time slots)

So annoying that the media only talks about us is how X or Y team has shown how to beat us. No mention whatsoever of our struggles with COVID, like it was nothing. Bit frustrating considering we are the benchmark and reigning premiers 😤

I can't believe any self respecting footy supporter doesn't know MFC's number 13. Top 5 player of the competition.

That can be a bit misleading. We shouldn't compare raw numbers but rather capacity %. 40,000 at Marvel is great. 42,000 at the G is not great.

That may be right, however all (or almost all) the reserved seat areas are sold out. I am in the redlegs level 2 and for all the 3 games I have attended this year, not once I have seen that level full capacity. I Think maybe 60 to 70 % at best. Yesterday it looked more like 45 - 50 % capacity (funny enough my wife and I were the only ones in the row we have our seats on).

Yep, I have missed only the GWS game. I will miss multiple games (around 3) later in the season because I am going overseas, but will try to watch them live on Kayo.

It seems most people here think the Geriatric Cats are done... I am one of them 😎

Skipper, Clarry the Beast, Trac the Bull, Jake "Rick" Lever, Steven "the General" May, Christian "Clean Skills" Salem, BBB, Luke "Dogga" Jackson, Harrison "The Wall" Petty, Jake "Undefeated" Bowey, Jack "Mongrel" Viney, Bayley Fritsch Honorable mentions : Spargo, ANB,Rivers, Hunt, Langdon ( I really want him in my 12 but hard to remove one of the above), Brayshaw. I think I need a top 18 😂😂

But we can't always blame the opposition supporters or expect them to come to our home games. We now have 60k members, did they pay for an empty seat?

What do we make of another lackluster crowd last night? I still can't fathom a reason for more than 60% to be absent to our home games. In a season (second in a row) in which we should be basking in the success and drive of this team, it is definitely sad to see the MCG half empty.

If only Jim could've watched him become a star 🥹

It'll be close race no doubt, hopefully Clarry is aware of this and is a man possessed for the next 10 or so games. In any case, touching wood, Clayton's career seems to be injury free so should have better stats in the end.

Do you know what's the replacement home game for the Alice one?

Wouldn't rounding it up to 9 be more accurate?

How can we be contempt when most of our 60,000 members go MIA?. We should expect at least 30,000 to rock up every week. Plus the non members and all the opposition supporters. Today was a good opportunity to have 55 or 60k. There was at least 20,000 Hawks supporters at the game.

Very selfish by him, not the brand the Dees play.

Dogga would be in the wrong if he takes an offer from WC. Freo makes more sense.

If there were an exodus of Players from WC at the end of the season... Who would you bring to the Dees? (If Any)
