A couple of years ago our injury list was almost as bad (not quite). I remember being told that they had to get some Casey players to make up the numbers at training. There was no sympathy for us in the media.

My son was playing hockey for his school and was hit in the head by a hockey ball. This parent (me) flew down the hockey ground, coat flapping in the wind, nothing was going to stop me from being with him at that moment. He was lying still on the ground. I would do the same if he was playing on the MCG only slightly slower getting to him. I can imagine what Tommy's mother was feeling at the time worse because she couldn't be with him.

It was telling in an interview with Jake Melksham after last week's game about how he feels about the game against Adelaide. His immediate response was "yeah, another away game" with emphasis on another. Everyone is feeling it.

sweet dreams (of a mighty victory and a hot snag)😄

Hopefully you are up to date for all the relevant vaccinations😀

I have a feeling that there will be a very high MFC supporter crowd on Sunday. It feels a little like we weren't there to see them win so lets make up for it on Sunday. I know a lot of people who weren't sure about going to now definitely going. Hopefully this might be reflected in unrenewed members taking the plunge (so to speak)!

Find it so interesting that not so long ago Goody had really sunk to the depths making Clarry "a tagger". Clarry was looking to move Clubs for a new start because he was tired of starting on the bench. This week Goody made a master move by making Clarry a tagger. No more talk of him wanting out of the MFC. The silence is deafenng.

Not my horse 😭

Sorry to disagree, but I thought generally all the players were around him when he kicked the goal. Your first comment about not running on to enable a handball was spot on. Is it game plan or just not fit enough to match GWS or GS.

Dig that knife in Caro.

Out paced, out rucked, out marked, out coached, just awful. I have this nagging feeling that we have been here before. Having said that I'll be there next week.

This to me is one of the most important issues both for this year and coming years. Watching the years of Richmond, Brisbane and Hawthorn winning multiple premierships, one of the reasons why was the team played together over some years. We have blooded 6 new-ish players into our team for their first game. To me they way they performed within the team, having played no real games together was one of the highlights of the game. They gelled well with players that had played many years together. The future, if we can keep them together, bodes well for future of our Club.

I think Trident members retain their seats unless they request a move and that there is a empty seat.

What about all the flops and calls for frees by TG (4) whenever he is touched by an opposition player.

As long as you have requested the scarf and stickers with your renewal, they should all be mailed out. The Club stopped scarf collections when COVID struck and haven't started them up again. If you have received your membership either on your mobile or card, you should check with the Club that you have requested the package when renewing.

I think this is to try and "develop" those defensive skills and push for more second and third efforts. He did take a good pack mark down in defense in I think the third quarter. How do you develop those skills if they are not just in your makeup to be aggressive at the ball. He will never be a Jack Viney (no one ever will). However to follow up a missed mark with a second effort is a given and I am sure that Troy will be talking to him about that aspect of his game today.

Sharp, Johnson and Langford for me.

Sausages?

I hope it is Viney because Toby will know what annoying Jack will bring. It wont be pretty. The only worry I have is the run-on that Freo seemed to have against us and GWS, looking at today's game, had in spades. We didn't seem to manage that against Freo. I know, I know it was only a practice game.

Had a quick conversation with Wheels at a Petrol Station just out of Cranbourne and he said that "Casey will be very good this year" and both Roy George and Mentha played very well. Campbell played in the ruck and he also played well. Just sayin!! Forgot also Spargo played for limited minutes and played well and also pulled up well.

If only.

How sad is that. We cant support our team because of the fear of being set on. Ask Nathan Jones Dad how that feels. Ask the young family that sat behind me last year who were taunted the whole game with the police playing lip service only. I speak to many MFC members who have said that they will not go to Collingwood games now because of the abhorrent behaviour of Collingwood supporters. As an MCC member I try and sit in the no alcohol section which weeds a lot them out.

If hasn't already been posted somewhere else, Foxtel have the replay of our 2021 Premiership on at 3.30 today Time to watch it again and feel that thrill of anticipation in readiness for a bumper 2025.❤️💙

Loved Gawny's rundown of Jack and the pace of Pup. How many more sleeps!

Phew
