GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Adelaide
I‘ll be there in support WCW. It will be my first visit to the new Adelaide Oval, and I’ve driven 1200 kms, across three States, to get here. Looking forward to yelling my lungs out for our Mighty Dees, and clearing the immediate area of Crows fans by 3/4 time. 😇. Celebration planned in the Barossa tomorrow.

Sean Wight
Outstanding footballer. I remember crying my eyes out when I first heard the horrible news of his passing. RIP Sean.

PODCAST: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Great work again guys. Thank you!

Farewell Luke Jackson
Dogga strikes me as someone who is too far principled to play those sorts of games, and in any event, why would he want to 'walk' to North, which is where he'd end up based on today's ladder positions.

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
A minor earth tremor was recorded in Canberra last night ……….just moments before Spargo’s goal in the last.

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Now that’s what happens when we play ‘the Melbourne way’!

If we lose on Thursday
In the unlikely event that we lose to Brisbane, we will get on a ‘post loading roll’ against Adelaide the following week

Alan Richardson on SEN (22/06/22)
Good interview. Richo is always fair and measured with the media. No BS.

GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
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!

TEAMS: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
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.

PODCAST: Mid Season Review
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.

GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
C’mon Dees. Let’s put the crap of last week behind us by doing what we do best, and thumping the Magpies.

Simon Goodwin Press Conference (10/6/22)
An excellent presser from Goody. Very balanced and unemotional, didn't shy away from issues of the week.

TEAMS: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Thanks Paul. I love debuts. His selection puts a bit of gloss on what has been a very 'ordinary' week.

TEAMS: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
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.

TEAMS: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
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.

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

PODCAST: Rd 12 vs Sydney
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 😃).

Steven May Suspended by the Club
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!

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Sydney
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.
