Yes he brings a lot of pressure and mostly solid with his disposal, good overhead as well, fits in very well in the back half and deserves his spot every week.

Great win against that mob. The pressure that the young fellas in Spargo, Lockhart, Sparrow and fumbles Picket are bringing is great too see. Wow, our skills were great and it was so good seeing our composure and keeping possession in that last five minutes, just like good sides do. We are a tough outfit which seems a bit odd, I love it. Gotta keep this up is pretty obvious, but we are playing some nice footy. Clayton O is seriously going up another level. Go Dee’s Oh yeah and didn’t the umps give us a good ride, un effing believable ?

Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them. “Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”. After siren. “your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6” No reply yet.

I’m pretty sure they upgraded the rule after the Burgoyne tackles.

Gary Lyon just now “ I wonder if it was a big name player”! ? And moved on

Went last night and typically wasn’t confident, honestly cannot remember the last time I was confident of a win. I left at 3/4 time disgusted at our performance, can’t add to anything that hasn’t already been said. It was a Melbourne home game and an official(I don’t think he was a melb official tho) at the game told me it was our decision too only have 500 ppl at the game. Bit disappointed, and I don’t now who made the decision, but we demon supporters were seated one level up in a pocket while the bloody port dills were in the prime position on a wing. We got too see the dills warm up twice rite in front of us while our lads were down the other end. Not happy jan ?. I’m getting too old too get upset by these performances, but I do, I’m a die hard that’ll stay that way till my day comes. Go Dee’s....too hell.....still?

Melb decision about 500 hundred limit on crowd as the home team, I’m guessing because of costs at the Gabba. 300 of us and 200 of them apparently. Go Dee’s

Thought I’d effed up the ballot bs, just got my ticket, M33, very happy to b going. Might not be many of us so let’s b as loud as HELL DEMONS ??

We take the w any time thank you. The 1st qtr was great to watch, our pressure on them with the ball was the reason we took control ourselves and created more opportunities, together with Gawn and our centre dominance of course. Five goals too zippo, two more in the 2nd and then the blues started pressuring us and we just did our predictable thing, nothing! It appears we’ve learnt very little as a team, and that word “team” makes me very skeptical of our prospects going forward. Unfortunately I just don’t see the working hard and awareness for one another that is clearly in the good “teams”. We are still who we are and have been for too long, not very good. Go Dee’s.

Pretty confident we ozzies will get thru this, we don’t mind sticking together when it comes too community and helping one another in tough times, stay strong and well all? Our woes (for too long), as a footy team are pretty insignificant ?

I’d like too keep frosty and let him have a run in the middle or wing and give us that outside run from the centre. He’s quick, good overhead and agile enough at ground level, defensively been solid although erratic at times, he’ll improve that I hope, wouldn’t mind if he turned into a Bontempelli or like. Bit of size and strength in the centre. I think he would certainly attract offers but I’d like him too stay.

Well that’s an honest response Clint, I appreciate that.

I’m hoping May brings a bit more of the mongrel our culture so desperately needs.

Port’s coach has openly criticised his team for being unreliable, bucks has stated his team was soft and teammates didn’t back up one another......welcome to our world ?. I really wish there was some honesty and truthful appraisal coming from our coach about the way we’re playing as a team. Enough of the soft approach and molly cuddling these grown men. I as a supporter are seeing nothing changing, I would hope internally these players are being told how bad it looks to keep churning over the same mistakes week after week. FFS Goody tell it how it is, and own it, our skills are very poor, our defensive running is woeful, our team structure falls apart too easily and the chaos game plan is not working for us, it actually helps the opposition beat us way to easily on the outside. Sorry but I’m ova the excuses and so called it’ll b alright attitude I’ve heard for way too long. That One day for us seems so far away, just having a win would seem to be our premiership. So it was just the honesty of those coaches that bought me too this rant. I actually thought Goody was pretty honest in his post match interview against the brisso’s, and I no he wouldn’t and shouldn’t publicly berate Tom for the dropped mark, or Angus for the stupid handballs too????? or the countless other eff ups that we’re so skilled at.............. And now for the positives...............ummmmm, oh yeah max will b ok and Salem got off being hip butted by a geeeeraffff. All is good tho I’ll b back for more and I haven’t heard anyone from dland saying there gunna stop supporting the mfc, thick skinned lot we have become. Honestly how do YOU feel? I’ve gotten used to our failings as a footy club unfortunately ?

Fair dinkum, no wonder our skills are so bad after shooting ourselves in the foot every game on numerous occasions, we should just put the gun too our head and just end the misery ?......fortunately I get a laugh out of our ineptitude these days, I’m way past the anger.

Bit of reverse psychology Mr Roo’s? I hope it works!

What about the dropping the ball rule, if you take possession of the ball and don’t dispose of it correctly by hand (apparently you can throw it) or foot and the ball spills out because of a good tackle it’s not a free because the good tackle knocked it out, ffs if you possess the ball it’s your responsibility to maintain and dispose of it correctly. Games changed so much since I played with only 1 umpire running around doing a better job than 3 bozos doing it in today’s game ?

Said he would ease back in with managed game time, I presume at Casey.

Lever is the only player that should speak to the media, he talks well and sounds very adept at answering questions on the team. Maybe a future captain, certainly a leader.

Great too notch up a win against the pp’s. We have lots to work on. Some solid players too come back after injuries. I hope we keep improving. It’s a nice Sunday. ?

Unfortunately we only ever have small wins here and there DV8, then we fug it up the next week or season, so the majority of our supporters don’t no what a winning culture is like and their probably ain’t too many still around too remember the golden era. I will never turn my back on the club tho. ?

Groundhog Day, nothing’s changed as far as MFC suck at this game of footy. It has made me wonder why none of the so called experts, who all put us in the top 4, haven’t really sunk the boots in and called us for what we are as a team, hopeless turnover skill less bath water drinking clueless unfit little league downhill skiers............SO I DID HERE, outta sheer weight of disappointment ova the decades ? So that’s how smart they are in the media, keep building us up because they no eggsactly that the Dee’s will drink it as usual and so we shall fail again and stay the laughing stock of the AFL. Seriously where is our so called talent and leaders that we all THOUGHT we had disappeared too. Every other team looks so much more physical and skilful than us, sure we can look ok for a 1/4, maybe. WTF is going on at this club FFS. Sorry this rant was bought on by barracking for that team too beat the druggies today. I wish our team could play with that intensity and physicality and win and lose and I wouldn’t have to vent in this way. Boy it’s gunna be hard to watch our team for ???? Wow big text

I’m a bit confused at the centre bounces, why in particular Oliver feels the need to make contact with an opponent when he just needs to see ball get ball, just move too space and make them chase you, he clearly puts too much emphasis on contact with opponents at most stoppages, he’s also not the greatest pest either unless he’s just winning the ball, that’s when the oppo hate him and we love him!

I hope this isn’t the the ‘old’ untrustworthy dees wise! A great win and another hoodoo team, ground and buddy put too rest. The 10 day break will help with the injuries too the list hopefully. Credit too the coach and players for turning it around after the qrt and a bit that looked very familiar too our start too the season. A lot of good signs of things that can help us move fwd, IF, we can back it up.

Another game, ho hum, no confidence it’ll go our way.
