12 hours later plus a sleep, and I still think that was the best game of AFLW that has been played.

Yeah, yeah it’s only half way through the round but I’ll take it

How good was that!

Bloody hell they were keen to get Rivers weren’t they! Thanks for that walk down Memory Lane Nascent.

Well aside from Downie this is close to our best side. Will be really interesting to see how close we are

Now that both B Brown and Weideman are out I think Tom McDonald will be relishing the opportunity

Don’t be sad Jaded. Keep the faith All I saw initially was “Key Demon sidelined”. I was expecting much worse. Weed probably not in my top 15 of important players.

Bloody good speech. Collingwood is a far better Club for his tenure

Well that’s pretty exciting as the best of Charlie Spargo is pretty good.

Agree Ellie McKenzie is going to be a good player but then Richmond will have to put some effort into our #15 pick, Eliza McNamara who got 18 touches on debut and was probably in the top half dozen players on the ground. I would not be surprised if she ends up our first 100 game player. Go Dees!

Loving watching our jumper run around. Love the half time lead. Go Dees!

I think it is a bloody good thing. Players need to be protected, even if, just from themselves. Long term effects can be scary. They need time to recover. Having said that now watch Petracca suffer from a concussion in the final few minutes of the 2021 Prelim

Agree that Downie would be a big loss if she doesn’t get up.

When: Saturday 30th January Time: 2.10pm (AEST) Where: Metricon Stadium Weather: 28°, scattered showers, lightish breeze https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/853720/three-debutants-confirmed-for-round-1 (With apologies to Megs who posted the same article in another thread) It will be great to watch the 3 debutants running around this weekend. Bannon from all reports is a good mark but is also lightning quick for a 177cm tall. Was somewhat of a slider to overall 5th pick. Eliza McNamara is very small and light whilst Fitzsimon has been easily Gippsland’s best NAB player. Full team to be posted on Friday I’m very much looking forward to seeing the red and blue jumper running around again this weekend.

Project player? Kozzie is still in his teens! The kid had 20 scoring shots in 14 games in his debut year. If he had kicked 13.7 instead of 7.13 there would be no one questioning his value

Perhaps 58er was thinking of the well travelled James Cook. He definitely didn’t play AFL

If you’ve got 5 mins of holiday time this is well worth a watch. Brown is one of my all time favourite non Melbourne players

Brilliant to get Jason on the podcast boys. Really looking forward to hearing it. Thanks

With the amount of footy they have missed I’d be surprised if we see any of the new draftees till 2022

Shades of Earl Spalding. Both tall utilities and both went to (a) Wesley. Fraser the Duke Rosman

@Lucifer's Hero Do draftees get a 2 or 3 year first contract? Thinking it maybe 2 which would have Bowey, Laurie and Rosman needing to re-sign at the end of ‘22?

Yes I know, I know but his highlights remind me of a young Brent Harvey

Someone should do a Internet age MFC whipping boy timeline. Think Simon Godfrey was first of the alumni

Was there a theory on here re KK Jaded that if he stayed on the list then he qualified for medical insurance? His signing has obviously been a complete bust for the Club. It would be great to get a statement from them as to where he is at but I’m not holding my breath. I don’t understand why the need for secrecy

Agree. A friend who is a huge WCE fan says he checked out after the ‘18 flag. Hasn’t been able to climb the mountain again and any club who picked him up would be just feathering his retirement
