The problem for you is that you have no idea what TMac was told to work on or what he was expected to do. You are making guesses based on stats. The footy dept looks well beyond that.

Went head to head with Jayden Hunt a lot in jnr footy...

Key players often sign deals whereby they partake in any future increase in broadcast rights etc,

Interesting to talk about the Demon spirit, taking less money than otherwise could be got and wanting to keep the team and staff together working towards the ultimate goal. Great message for everyone but particularly Jackson and Brayshaw, currently out of contract!

You will get a chance this year at the MCG. Even better :)

We had Frost and O'Mac and were the easiest team to score against.. Defence wins flags.

Good result for both parties

Distributing the ball from the back half is a key to our success Bowey was recruited to add to Salem's ball use

Saints will surely struggle after that game in FNQ ..

And yet Goodwin suffered under too much pressure as he himself has admitted.

It was an MFC Grand Final winning margin.

Curious as to why. He had 11 possessions? 5tackles was certainly good..

Nice work, thanks

Very under-appreciated for his pack busting, gut-running and swing man capabilities. So much of his work goes unnoticed by many on here. But he takes a gorilla backman each week and plays a vital role for us. Outstanding story of perseverance and not throwing the toys out of the pram when he was told to look elsewhere. Instead knuckling down and working on deficiencies in his game. Thoroughly deserves his 200 games and his premiership. Congratulations Tom.

Good job Casey Seemed like they had the goal. kicking yips as the senior did last week

And his uncle played for the Dees wearing no 29... Andy moir

Max is miles ahead of Nic Nat.

My thoughts after watching the replay.. Outstanding effort by our guys to win. The system and confidence they have in each other is a joy to watch. They never seem to panic. Umpiring was atrocious even though we got the better of the count The 3 marks to May that were not paid were outrageous and cost us goals. They tried to drag May up the ground at all costs and leave Smith one out. JJ was very fumbly Bedford did very well. Our kicking to the fwd line was abysmal. So many times we kicked to a pack or directly to a Hawk player. The defence was uncharacteristically out of sorts. Lever was very fumbly as well. Missed Petty big time. Hunt played well and made some great spoils Langdon being tagged was unusual and was quite a successful tactic by Mitchell Tom Mitchell got some very soft frees. Frost is a liability Hawthorn were very aggressive all day trying to niggle us and their supporters are tireless bores. Hawks played well off a short break and were running hard at the end. I suspect more of our team was not feeling well than reported. Max is a gun. Oliver needs more protection from the umps. You can't have a player at stoppages not facing the stoppage and instead trying to impede Oliver. Pathetic umpiring

They look particularly inexperienced in the mid area. Lynch newcomb worpel Omeara hasn't been playing v well. Mitchell not that damaging and Shiels is back from being dropped Their fwds have been playing quite well and their defence is ok if not a little flaky with frost Dees by 30

But do we have a Plan B? Don't need one...

That's not how I read that line. But the 'best ' news seems to be that nearly everyone has already had it And were on top of the ladder

Saw that today as well Half the ground done. Likely to be ready for action after it beds down in 4 or 5 weeks I would think.

There was a new broadcast deal in the wings, Freo was hovering, Farmer was offered big money and we had recently played off in a granny. Mistakes were made and if anything it shows how good our list management is now compared to then

A lot of truth in here. And a fair bit of revisionism in this thread.

Shows the importance of banking early wins and nailing close games. Given how we handled the last two years in the hub and 2021 I feel we have been very mature about rolling with the punches and just getting the job done
