NON-MFC: Round 23
Schadenfreude and looking forward to the draft. It's just like old times.

Season 2024 Over for Clayton Oliver
His rib issue wouldn't have been helped by all the gut punches he kept getting from Port players last Saturday.

Welcome to Demonland: Ricky Mentha

Oliver Trade Rumours
I have a feeling that Clayton's hand is still causing him problems. His normal one touch surety and approach to loose balls looks less than it was.

"Very sore" Max Gawn in doubt for next Saturday vs Essendon
Optimistic view: this might be the way Max gets a rest so he's super fit and fresh for our finals domination.

Standard of Umpiring
Put simply, if the umpires are going to be bad, I want us to be consistently favoured by the terrible decisions, maybe winning a few close games due to their egregious errors.

CASEY: Rd 14 vs Northern Bullants
He's at the centre of everything.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane
I was thinking about Quantum Theory and the Multiverse, as I do after a loss, and according to the Many Worlds Interpretation the universe branches all the time. Just like Schrödinger's Cat is both alive and dead, for every umpire decision it either goes against the Dees or for the Dees, the universe branching at each decision point. Likewise with each shot at goal - the Dees kicked a goal and they didn't, all at the same time. Which means that there is a universe where the Dees got all the free kicks against Brisbane. And not just that, every free kick all year, just as for goal kicking, where there is a universe where the Dees haven't missed a single shot. It stands to reason that in this universe we won every game. I want to go there.

PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne
The time will come, be it soon or years from now, when the lost and lonely will sigh about how the MFC is a mediocre team, winning rarely, offering false hope occasionally, dashing that hope perennially. Pundits everywhere will nod sagely and agree that the Demons are pitiable and always have been. But some among us will step forward, hand on heart, and say, ‘No! We won’t have it!’ because we few, we happy few, remember when our players strode the MCG like gods, fair of face and clean of limb, outshining all others and grasping the ultimate prize through skill, heart and grace. We’ll remember Max the colossus, peerless in his craft. We’ll remember sunny Christian, relentless Clayton and dogged Jack, never giving in, never surrendering. We’ll never forget Steven, the Jakes, the other Christian, Kossie, Bayley of the unrivalled hair, Ed the running man and others, for we all had our favourites. We were part of it. Through our commitment and love we were part of it and we will remember though times be dark, though times may grow dark for we know that when the times lighten, they lighten with fire. Go Dees.

Harrison Petty
He looked so good against Geelong in Round 8, leading up, big contested marks ... Or or that rosy coloured memory?

Umpiring (Demonland in meltdown)
I can't trust myself to judge the umpiring as I can't take off my red and blue goggles. I wonder what neutrals thought?
