Well said Lord. Agree Dogga is a rare athlete and hard to put pressure on young Mac Andrew to try to copy him. Mac is very light and raw talent. Mac Andrew is definitely worth getting into your footy club but hard to justify top 4-5 pick on a youngster who needs development and the pressure of a top pick. Would love to see the young man stay in Melbourne and at MFC and have plenty of time to develop over min 3 years imv.

I like your thinking here 🤞Mac

Yes definitely more of an outside midfield runner. Like to see him brought in as a Rookie. Then get him into the Brayshaw household as another young Demon boarder. Even if he didn’t make it, the Brayshaws produce and develop fine young men and footballers.

Thanks Turner for the support and not the trolling. With the Dees premiership, I was hoping it’s positive energy on DL for the future. Usually a 70% strike rate. Actually as well the considered later picks Mansell, Ford and Winder looked ok in their AFL debuts this year. Got Salem over Freeman, Petracca over McCartin (who didn’t, yes the Saints) , Oliver over Parish. Liked Wines over Toumpas as we all did. Thought Gysberts and Lucas Cook picks were a (censored). Definitely got Scully & Trengove over Martin wrong (but they were the chosen ones). Got Bowey wrong (he’s a beauty and ok to be wrong. Saints were bleeding once again😢). It’s a guess work without interviews and all the backgrounds and full access that recruiters have. It’s all a bit of a fun, a distraction whilst we spend 5 months waiting for the action to begin. There’s no guarantees. JT is a legend and he’s been one of the keys behind our success. In JT we trust 🏆

Without knowing draft pick order and sliding doors, inexact science and using a cloudy crystal ball 1-10 Horne-Francis, Daicos#, Darcy#, Callaghan , Hobbs, Ward, Rachele, Sonsie, Gibcus, Amiss 11-20 Erasmus, Johnson, Sinn, Wanganeen-Milera, Draper, Goater, Andrew, Roberts, Darcy Wilmot👍🏻, Jacob Van Rooyen👍🏻 21-30 Campbell Chesser👍🏻, Butler, Motlop, Jack Williams, Zac Taylor, Fahey#, Conway, Tom Brown, Owens#, Knevitt. 31-40 Bazzo, Long, Windhager#, Blake Howes👍🏻, Connor MacDonald👍🏻, Isaac Birt👍🏻, Alleer, Clarke , Corey Warner👍🏻, Murley 41-50 Jackson, Lewis Rayson👍🏻, Banks, Willis, Burgoyne#, Charlie Molan👍🏻, Sheldrick, Lohmann, Dib#, Arthur Jones. Taj Woewodin - Dees father-son. Hopefully bid comes around post “37”. Use 3rd round choice for Taj Andy Moniz-Wakefield , hoping we can a Rookie NGA Pick

Lots of mid aged talent on the list and big Maxy has years ahead of him in combo with Dogga. Dogga, Riv, Kozzy, Jakey all with 10 years of footy ahead of them. Lots to enjoy. I’m sure Goody will want to stick around.

Exactly right

He’s not a boy anymore. But still only 24 and should now be entering into his perfect age bracket to break out. Potential. So much potential. A big preseason ahead. I’d like to see him do a SAS type preseason. Conquer his fears. Gym work. Get angry on the field. Positive belief. Hours and hours and hours of kicking for goal. Hours and hours and more hours of marking of the footy.

Learnings are happening. Connection forward of centre are happening.

That’s the moment

Agreed. Watched it and at the very end Daniel looks to his midfield teammates and asks “how am I going to stop that!!” He had three players running at him and was helpless to stop our avalanche. Daniel - the little man who thought he’d take on big Maxy … who’s laughing now !!! Bang bang bang bang. 🏆

Definitely. Get him through to end 2023 at least!!! He’s development work across the youngsters has been sensational. His word to Trac to focus and get the footy was a catalyst. Need to keep him and have Choco setting the standards and not having players relax with one premiership.

Absolutely a key part of our year. He played 20 games and his run and carry as well as defensive roles were part of our success. Love his pace to chase or burst clear. As soon as he got injured v Eagles, you could tell how upset he was. Hunt knew we’d be pushing for that premiership and his injury would put his role in that in doubt. Really sad he missed out. Still his enthusiasm when we won the GF was great. I think he’ll be in our best 22 in 2022 and be hungry for success. It’s a tough team to crack into but we will have Hunt and Tomlinson bursting to get in and the pressure for spots will be hot.

Bleasdale Wine delivered today. 6 bottles of 2019 MFC Reserve Shiraz. Premiers 2021 happy days ❤️💙❤️💙

Robbie Flower would easily get a game in today’s team. What a player he was. It’s too hard to compare players across 100+ years. Let’s celebrate they are all champions and enjoy the 2021 premiership team. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

That’s great. Love it. Made me smile over Brekky. 🏆🏆🏆❤️💙❤️💙🔥🔥🔥

Might be only 50 players drafted this year. Restricted year. Limited underage rep games. Tighter list spots.

I couldn’t find such content in my history of posts to reference “Matt Roberts unlikely to be drafted” . perhaps the context was that he wasn’t even eligible for the 2020 draft. Perhaps that helps !! The comparison to Heppell stands and he will be drafted in 2021 draft. @IvanBartul13 Please give your assessment. Also happy to hear your views on other players for critique!

It’s a cruel sport sometimes. Thought he had potential. Two years killed off by injury.

Stick it on a wall. Hmmmm. $1000. Stuck on a wall. I love the Premiers $295 print !! Booked it and I’ve got the weg and mark knight posters for a combined $70 spend but I’m also importantly spending my $$$ on… I love the tshirts, the hoodie, the key ring, the cap, the stubby holder, the beach towel. They’re mobile. Anything that tells everyone else that I’m a Demon fanatic and we are Premiers 🏆.

Magnificent Spine chilling Gets me pumped up every time very emotional when Clarry raises the arm and signals after the goal, that’s when I dared to dream that we’d win and we did 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 🏆

Great news !!! Petty really showed us what we saw glimpses of before his injury. Gotta love our future with such young guns who can keep improving.
