No doubt in my mind at all, we'll get up by a comfortable 9 goals.

'Shemons supporters'... did a 10 year old write that??

Think that was the year before, pretty sure we won that one.

I assume Daz was referring to the narcissism. Correct me if I'm wrong @dazzledavey36!

Thanks for the update mate, sounds like he's doing very well. Nothing like a bit of country footy!

I expect that we'd be very high in goals from rebound 50's too - most of the time it's not getting past that 50/40 metre mark thanks to Lever and Co.

At a fraction of the cost I imagine.

A slight aside but I was really impressed with Viney's work up forward yesterday. In previous times he's looked a bit lost in attack but when he was rotated forward yesterday he positioned himself really well and applied a ton of pressure, as we'd expect from him. He's adding some dynamism to his game that I was skeptical he'd find.

Four and Oh, soak it up!!! My standout points for the game: Jake Lever is a legend. BOG by far, stood up when May went down and his leadership was absolutely exceptional. Without him there, likely we'd have crumbled and lost. The improvement of lower tier players like Hunt and Neal-Bullen is having a huge impact on how well we are playing. Credit to those guys to finding some great form and credit to Williams (I expect) for his impact in that regard. Great that the umpires are finally penalising the throwing in congestion, good to see. If we hadn't dropped all those marks and kicked for goal terribly we'd have won by about 50 goals, no doubt.

Having an in-form Tom McDonald is such a huge boost for this team. Getting over the Giants at Manuka would be a great win but I think we're a very good chance.

Fritta will stand up and kick 5, mark my words.

Are you delighted based on just that insight or other issues you've had with the way he operates? Personally I wouldn't say I'm delighted but it's probably the right move. Best of luck to him.

5 years too late on Pig.

Disappointed to see Hannan go after such a great start to his career but it's probably a good move for both him and the club. Best of luck Mitch!

So pretty much everyone is off to Essendon then.

Personally I had no idea he kicked that many goals in a season. Has he had a role change? 38 goals in 2018, 22 in 2019 and 4 this year...

Glad it turned out this way to be honest. I didn't want him at the Dees, especially on a 3 year deal. Adds nicely to the Cats ageing list!

Very happy to see this and will be hoping with the entirety of my red and blue heart that he makes it to 300. He still has so much to offer to the club as a mentor and cultural leader.

Clarry and Trac are only going to steal votes from each other over the next half-dozen years.

I think he means when Miller left the Dees coaching staff for GWS in 2016, as his kids are with Pia in Sydney.

Great stuff from you too Chook

So damn excited to see Ooze back at the MFC. He was my favourite player as a kid and I think this appointment will surpass any player we might get over the trade period for me. He's going to have a huge impact.

Can't agree A F, Max is untouchable because he's more than just his value as a player (which is obviously immense). He's our most marketable asset IMO and as well as being the captain he's also the spiritual leader and is a real 'father' figure to a lot of the younger guys. His tenacity and attitude to training etc is invaluable.

Would be a little sad to see him go as he was one of my favourite players over 2017 and 2018 and was convinced he would become a key part of our forward line/midfield. Unfortunately though we do need to capitalise where players have value and if we can get a player that fills a different kind of role for us, it would be a win.

What about this? You sounded very confident Dannyz. Any update from your end?
