Demon Disciple

The whirlwind that was 2021 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ meant that we finished the season as late as possible and in order to ‘catch up’ on pre-season fitness for 2022, most of the players kept up their training over the off-season. Throw in the premiership celebrations going well into December, there was very little down time for the group mentally. Then to show the comp respect as reigning premier, we started 10-0. This is the first genuine time that the boys have given themselves the necessary mental refresh that they need before another serious shot at a flag. It’s the mental exhaustion that trips up most teams gunning for a flag, as the long season allows fears and doubts to creep in. 2021 we were just so maniacally determined to break through, it’s like we had tunnel vision. varying factors of course will come in to play, but I give us a better chance this year mentally compared to last.

This is the reason why I reckon Viney has really improved on-field, he doesn’t have to burden himself with the captaincy. It can be a poisoned chalice to some, others the magic elixir.

I’d be happy with just another one if I get to see it at the G

20 days into the new year…………….sounds about right 😩

Haters gonna hate. All social media does is provide the chance for the lowest ebb to mercilessly troll behind a veil of anonymity. We as a country still have a lot of social problems and I fear it is only getting worse.

She should be the first of our AFLW player's inducted into the MFC Hall of Fame. No one is more deserving of the honour than Daisy.

remind me again how many premierships Buckley won as a player or coach? Now compare that to Goodwin………..,…….yeah I’ll be sticking with Mr 3 & 0, not Mr 0 & 3.

And here I was thinking it was going to be a thread about our great CHB Anthony Ingerson

He’s in better nick than me

I still reckon the Scum would bow out against the Dorks in the EF, continuing their magnificent run of not winning a final!

Played most of last year less than 100%. Couldn’t settle into his year as he was carrying an injury that was more nuisance than debilitating injury.

You must be new around here

Lets hope the GWS head of development doesn’t get the role

The Old Melbourne Gaol has been out of commission for almost a hundred years now. It’s relatively close to the G too, maybe we should convert that into our new digs? 😂

Shorely someone will be able to lure him back to the game.

From what I understand, Brown’s knee problem is not going to go away. It’s something he has to manage on an ongoing basis. id be happy if BB can play 1/2 to 2/3 of the regular season, with the view to having his knee well rested and cherry ripe for finals.

How long before Victorian clubs come knocking?

He seems to really have bought into the club, which is great to see. Always admired his work-ethic at the Pies, love him even more now he’s a Dee.

Sounds like a very astute observer of the game 😉

TMAC is a workhorse that needs nearly an entire season to reach max output. His absence last year exposed our weakness up forward. He’s our linchpin in attack, JVR and BB will provide the backup until JVR is ready to assume the #1 spot (shouldn’t be until 2025).

Wagyu doing training with a filth player TMAC?

What is this video?……………..I need to know

It’s called the 2021 AFL Grand Final

Reckon it’s a good thing that they have plenty of time off between seasons. Reckon a lot of the guys spent most of last off-season fully focussed on the responsibility and burden of being reigning premiers. Come back fresh physically, but mentally too. Our intensity in 2022 was nowhere near the sustained levels that it was in 2021.
