Dees being seriously underrated
Many are saying weāll end up bottom four based on finishing 14th last season, coupled with believing everything they read/hear in the media. And why wouldnāt they, right? If this was any other club Iād probably form the same opinion. I reckon itās great that us failing is widely expected: it lessens the pressure. The other 17 clubs wonāt know what hit them šš¼ PS: that apostrophe in your thread title needs to go, I just know itās gonna do my head in š

2025 Prediction
A friend sent me this but yeah he just asked that question. Another friend asked the question a couple of weeks ago and was told the same thing except the margin was 12 points. Iām happy with either of those results š

The banner (two identical banners that is, in case the elements wreck the first one) actually says āUNITED BY DEMON SPIRITā which is great because we get to reuse them. Just need to rip the Fox logo off it.

2025 Prediction
Would love that but it wonāt happen. Theyāve said tomorrow so tomorrow it is. Mind you the ad is gonna feature a bunch of red-faced sweaty folks on the verge of passing out but clearly Fox Footy is ok with that. Oh and theyāre shouting us pizzas, just in case our core temperatures arenāt high enough š

2025 Prediction
Didnāt know where to post this but wanted to share it, thought hereās as good as anywhere else. So, Fox Footy has asked us to make a full-sized banner (which weāre doing today) and they want us and our banner to feature in their main footy season promo. š„³ š„³š„³ Thing is though, theyāre filming it tomorrow outdoors (of course) and itās gonna be 42 degrees. And because itās supposed to look like weāre raising the banner during a match, theyāve requested we wear jumpers, beanies and scarvesā¦. 42 degrees⦠FORTY TWO DEGREES Good times š³

Neale Daniher ~ Australian of the Year
Yeah finding the words is very hard. I havenāt watched any of the coverage yet, Iād forgotten it was on and I was watching the tennis. Got a text that just said āNeale, finally šā and I burst into tears. The relief was overwhelming.

Neale Daniher ~ Australian of the Year
Every year when I hear whoās won this award I have the same thought: what if Nealeās not given the honour while heās still alive. This is a great relief. What a beautiful soul he is.

MFC Nicknames 2025
I donāt give them their nicknames, Iām just telling folks what theyāve told me are their nicknames and what I hear them call each other. The Duke is a great nickname for Caleb but they all call him Leb and he really likes it.

MFC Nicknames 2025
I donāt think Iāve ever heard a player call him Lingers out on the park. They call him either Langers or Ed. Yes Gussy gave Blake Howes the nickname Halfway which Blake said was funny but isnāt what they call him. Itās Howesy all the way. A couple of years ago Deakyn Smith told me that his nickname was Deaks. I said thatās not very imaginative and he said thatās how the giving of nicknames always goes: they toss around a heap of suggestions then end up settling on the first (and least imaginative) one. š¤£

MFC Nicknames 2025
Nothingās hard and fast with these things. You mentioned Tmac and thatās one of those grey areas. Iāve heard the boys call him Tommy and sometimes Macca as well as Tmac but I reckon itās fans who mostly call him Tmac. Harvey would likely have been called Langers except for Ed already having that nickname and Ricky Mentha is Ricky despite Jake being nicknamed Rick. Clarrie gets Claz from the coaches but I hear the boys call him Clarrie. Kozzie seems to get Koz and Kozzie from the players, except not from his uncle Roy who has a family nickname for him which he told me but asked me not to tell people which is not a problem since I canāt for the life of me remember it š

MFC Nicknames 2025
Nobody at the club calls him The Duke. Not his teammates, not the coaches, not the training staff⦠nobody. Someone on here called him The Duke when we first drafted him but honestly, itās never caught on.
