Demon Disciple

Should be our skipper, with Lever as vice. Let Max just focus on footy.

The AFL’s hubris prevents them from ever admitting that they seriously [censored] up naming GC as the 17/18th team. Just by reassuring Cochroach that they are safe, it shows that they don’t care about grass-roots football, just $. But we’ve all known that for a long time. Unfortunately the AFL is now more business than sport, and the gap is only getting wider

Agree ET. Not quite sure what the FD continue to see in him. Unless they plan on utilising him up forward (which they should’ve done from the beginning), he is a liability down back.

Maybe they plan to jettison a few players themselves.

i find it highly suspicious that Hocking was first with the Cats, went over to the AFL and is now back at the Cattery, and wouldn't you know another stage of funding gets ticked off on.

Geelong kissed on the [censored] again with another $142m to finish off KP (all paid for by the taxpayer of course). How much have they be given in total now for their ground redevelopment? Meanwhile, we're lucky to be getting a $3m upgrade of Gosch's paddock (to which the MFC has contributed to). FMD, when it comes to our turn Governments are going to be crying poor stating that there's no money left to give😠 https://www.heraldsun.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=HSWEB_WRE170_a&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.heraldsun.com.au%2Fnews%2Fvictoria%2Ffinal-stage-of-kardinia-park-upgrade-revealed%2Fnews-story%2Fcac63c9645f7fe9f6b251496c1b9180e&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium

There’d be 10 Victorian clubs lining up for his services.

The upside of this kid is enormous. Starting to take his marks more consistently too, which will give him great confidence. Need to sign him up long-term along with his best mate

Hopper still without a contract is interesting (not that he is what we need). But he is quality nonetheless

I’d argue the pinnacle of our season so far was our undefeated run to start the year. I’ve been on many journeys with this club, [censored] years of the 70’s & 80’s, the run in 87, the GF in 88, the journey of beating the Hawks twice in 2 weeks in 1990 (basically unheard of back then, only to lose to the Eagles after having a week off), 1994 with arguably our greatest ever forward line, 2000, seeing us going 14-4 then not winning another game in 04, the drought breaking 2018. There’s only 1 journey I want to be on and I hope like hell it is the journey I’m on this year. We have not been in a better position to achieve it for a very long time. When you’re aiming for the gold medal are you happy settling for the silver or bronze. Maybe you might be satisfied with that (no problem if you are), but I’m all or nothing.

Nowhere have I diminished the win. I’ve only taken umbrage at placing our record of 7-2 against top 8 sides as the pinnacle of our season so far.

Nope not this win. The fact that we are 7-2 against top 8 teams so far counts for nothing if we don’t go all the way. Gotta make it count or it’s just a waste. Sure go ahead and celebrate winning the battles, I want to win the war.

Ummmm, last game of the year is the GF.

Will count for squat if we don’t win the last game of the year

Posted the same in game day thread, but felt it warrants its own post again. Umpires can go EAD.

Game was stopped when we had a run-on, umps made sure to give the injectors the momentum after the break. Dees officials should ask some questions, Goody needs to tear some strips off the players before improving on his motivational skills.

EAD umpires

Playing like they’re afraid of losing. Play to win Dees

Max.......................Max?

A typical late Fritsch goal when he’s done nothing all game would be nice

A goal would be nice Dees

Foot on throat Dees

Be a good time to force a turnover and make em pay in their defensive half

Play him as the small forward with his mercurial talent, get Fritsch up the ground and into the game perhaps?

Ahh, de-list more like it
