Agreed, Macca. We were given a soft draw in the W this season which was awesome in the beginning since we were racking up wins and amassing a healthy percentage which has seen us never lower than third on the ladder. But we’ve been spared the test of playing North or Adelaide or Carlton. That said, we’ve had three losses all of which were played interstate. The likelihood is that we’ll play in at least two finals both of which will be at Princes Park. My conclusion therefore is that we win the flag! 🥳😝🥳 Just gotta hope covid runs through the NMFC and takes out everyone in its path Especially Birch 🤭

Wait, twice? I meant to say FOUR TIMES… Men’s x 2 & Women’s x2 And chuck in a Casey game in Geelong for good measure.

Pies in the last round sucks but is better than interstate in the last round.

My requests are simple… No more floating [censored] fixture! Fair enough during covid but now we should go back to the release of the fixture in its entirety, with maybe the only unreleased day/time being round 24. And 86 the stoopid Opening Round or Round Zero or whatever it’s called. And no clashes with the AFLW matches of the same club à la us having to leave the men’s match vs Hawthorn at halftime to get over to Whitten Oval in time for the Round One W match. And split Gather Round into two weekends so hopefully the airfare and accommodation is only half as criminally high as it is on that one weekend. And don’t schedule Gather Round to coincide with school holidays. That’s just off the top of my head. I’ll likely be visiting this thread again 😡

I hope we play the Cats at Geelong… TWICE!

This is brilliant! I’ve not seen this before. I was finding it funny until he mentioned Big Jimmy which made me momentarily sad/angry but then it’s straight back to funny. Thank you for posting : )

Round 12 results A post on X… And this was devised by our DA W doyen…

That was fun! Looking forward to your next brain-teaser (I know you’ve got another already prepared). @Demonstone … it’s back to the magoos for you. 😝

Trigger warning needed, J. Shuddering while holding coffee never ends well

It’s not so much feeling “bad,” it’s feeling “dumb” 😅

Of course 🥹

Same ❤️ So, if not Harmesy… Mitch Hannan?

Patience is a virtue 😊

Clarrie was using the facilities at AAMI as recently as two weeks ago, as were Kolt, Luker and Tommy Fullarton a few weeks prior to that. I’m guessing AAMI is accessible to all players during the running portion 🤷‍♀️

Harmesy?

I’ve not ever listed either of them as favourites* but I do have their bobble heads and they’ll remain intact. They will forever be premiership players and MFC legends. *I did have Judd as a favourite but he’s my version of your “yeah… nah.”

I can’t get down to Gosch’s today. But I’ll be able to for the captain’s run on Friday. Can you hold on ‘til then? 😅

Fair enough. But other people may like former MFC players. I’m sure there are some MFC fans who still list Jesse Hogan or Jack Watts for example among their favourites

Why? Tracc and Claz may well still be a couple of M_9’s favourite players.

The first clue is in the OP. I think it’s in this line… “What does this starting 18 of Dees, recent and distant, prominent and not so prominent, share?”

howsabout now? 😜

The players themselves prefer Princes Park. In fact, they’d prefer Princes Park over Casey for any and all matches. And yes, it’s better for the comp. Princes Park is a better venue in every aspect.

Another player I’ve noticed at training for her impressive speed and agility is Amelia Dethridge. I don’t know where she’s at in terms of getting a game but if we are a bit desperate maybe she should be considered 🤷‍♀️

This can’t be understated. This was the moment that signalled a downward turn for us. You’re spot on, George… the entire team seemed deflated, or even defeated, by this blatant umpire error. And this is what makes me so angry; we had momentum but it was taken away at that point.

We host finals at Princes Park, where our record is also very good.
