Good interview. Richo is always fair and measured with the media. No BS.

The two top teams. We are missing key personnel, but so are Brisbane. Neither team has been in good recent form. We have had a number of players well below their best in recent weeks, and a few for quite a bit longer than that. If these players return to something like their best, we win comfortably. If not, we struggle. Classic 8 point game. Time to put off-field distractions behind us, discard any fatigue from ‘loading’ and assert ourselves. Go Dees!

Our best available team imo. Just need a return to form from a few who have been a bit 'off the pace' in recent weeks, and we will record a comfortable win. Brisbane 'outs' help in this regard.

More than happy to do this Andy, but as my user name suggests, I'm old (verging on ancient!). You are talking different language to me, but if you send me a link, I can probably find the right place to leave feedback.

Another hour or so very well spent. Thanks Andy, George & Bin.

Fantastic podcast once again guys. Keep up the great work! My MFCSS is still in remission, for at least another week!

C’mon Dees. Let’s put the crap of last week behind us by doing what we do best, and thumping the Magpies.

An excellent presser from Goody. Very balanced and unemotional, didn't shy away from issues of the week.

Thanks Paul. I love debuts. His selection puts a bit of gloss on what has been a very 'ordinary' week.

Hunty has been very solid, playing in an unfamiliar role, for most of the season. Sure, he has lowered his colours (quite badly) over the last two weeks, but I would argue that the absence of May, an out of form Lever, and a banged-up Petty, have buggered up our team defensive structures to the point where he has been exposed one-on-one, on much taller and / or stronger opponents, on far too many occasions This is clearly not his go. On balance, I’m comfortable with his omission this week, but I think your use of the word ‘pathetic’ says more about your understanding of the game than it does about Hunty.

100% agree with all that Jaded No More ……… but I would go a bit further, and describe May’s actions as totally disrespectful to MFC culture, his team mates, our Club, and our supporters and members. Sorry, but after singing his praises for several years, he has lost me. He has a lot of to do to regain my respect.

McStay would be a very good get, but do we have the $s in our cap to satisfy him? Doubtful imo.

Another fantastic podcast fellas. Something I genuinely look forward to ….… win, lose or draw! ps. Do we need an extraordinary poddy this week, given that there was so much emphasis on Monday, about the importance of Mr S. May’s inclusion against the Pies? ……… (facetious comment 😃).

May was clearly happy to allow his selfishness to compromise our team, our Club and its members and supporters. I'm disappointed and very annoyed. A leader(?) ............ no way!

Lingers had massive padding on his ribs, but still didn’t shirk a contest. Not his best game, but still left many of his teammates in his wake. Love him, he brings so much to our team.

After the ‘downer’ against Freo, there have been a few very early signs of the re-emergence of MFCSS amongst some Demonland colleagues. It’s a horrible ailment, and extremely contagious, but fortunately, a win against the Swans will put that to rest. Dees in a hard-fought 19 point win, to curtail an epidemic for at least another week.

I’m very happy with the extension. He’s missed so much footy that it seems like he’s just starting out, and with the attitude described above, he’ll get the very best out of himself, which if reports are correct, is a lot.

I love it! Getting back to something closer to our best. Plenty of time for the oft mentioned synergies to develop …….. besides, our MC know what they are doing!

Smack on the money, as usual guys! Thank you.

Somewhat surprisingly, justice has been upheld!

Excellent assessments. The vision of Maysie shows just what a pillar he is in our back half.

Early days of course, but looking like another huge tick for our culture and development programs, and obviously Jason Taylor and his team.

Yep. Definitely Lingers and his bro.
