So Luke is clearly a significant upgrade on Harmes and the other two departures

Luke Dunstan career disposal average is 20.91 per game. I think you quoted his averages from this season

Eyes welled up a bit during that last minute of the 3rd... by the time Nibbler kicked his goal in the last had a tear rolling down the cheek... and when the siren blew I sobbed tears of joy that I have never experienced before! Drank a helluva lot before, during and after the game and passed out on the couch around 1am watching the replay on my own after various facetime chats with mates, then woke up hungover as hell at around 6am, put the replay on and cried nearly every time we kicked a goal!! I was an absolute mess!!

Words can't explain how much this means to me. All the pain, all the heartache, the disappointment we've had to endure. The love-hate relationship I've had with this club as a supporter for 30+ years and as a member for the last 15 years, has caused me so much more grief than joy. At our lowest I would often ask myself why I put myself through this. Why do I care so much? Will this ever be rewarding? Well, all of that was worth it... for this moment.

Although bittersweet in that we weren't able to be at the game or even watch it and celebrate the win with friends, this game is still one of the happiest moments in my life. I still can't believe it's happened and I've watched the replay or at least part of it every day since.

It's been almost a decade since I posted on here and probably over 10 years since I was a regular. Still an occasional lurker from time to time and as passionate as ever about the Dees, but family and work-life balance meant I no longer had time and fell out of the habit of posting. And I lost a bit of interest in the team during the Neeld years to be completely honest! 

It's been refreshing this year to come on this forum and see the positivity and hope return to the supporters. For so many years this forum was a hotbed of negativity and I love reading thru all the posts recently and seeing just how happy this has made all of us. We are Premiers! The MFC... Premiers!! Still delirious ❤💙🏆

Actually Watts already looks as if there is some body development taking place ; the same certainly can't be said for Morton whose body shape looks to be regressing

Agree with that. Watt's body looks like it'll fill out into an imposing build eventually. Morton, on the other hand, doesn't look like he'll add much weight. He will get stronger, but it won't be noticable on appearance alone (a lot like Dustin Fletcher, who's still built like a skinny 18 yo).

His body is already looking like it's getting bigger and harder. He is an 18 year old school boy in his first season, and he is starting exactly the same way Nick Reiwolt did; playing up the ground on the wing and flanks. He is at 196cms and 86kgs atm apparently, over the next 2 preseasons I'd wager he'll bulk up another 10kgs to 96kgs, and be an athletic hard working marking forward exactly like Nick Reiwoldt. I'm predicting this year and next will be learning years as he continues to gain more experience and put on more size, but 2011 he will stamp himself on the competition. Watts is an athletic, agile big man, and will wind up a mobile CHF, but what we also need is a big FF to compliment him.

My thoughts exactly.

Met Troy Broadbridge in the supermarket once. Was a very fine fellow. Very nice and happy to chat answer any questions i had (it was during the 2004 pre season) about training.

Kicked the footy and had a really good chat with Robbo at TBO i think at the end of 2002 family day. It was my 18th bday that day and he had some very nice things to say and also some solid advice for me.

I dont think i've ever been 'snubbed' by a player... but i remember Andrew Leoncelli staring at my ex-girlfriend lke there was no tomorrow once. Fair enough, she admittedly was very attractive, but we were 17 and he basically needed someone to pick his jaw up off the table... thats how much he was staring... in hindsight that really is funny. lol
