spirit of norm smith

Rendell, Terry Wallace, Lloyd, Robbo, Damien Barrett. Get a bigger tool shed. They are all absolute tools 🛠

I think it will depend on whether Melksham leaves or stays. If he goes, then I think Bedford stays on the list. Melksham would be in decent $$$ after his very good 2018 year.

Agreed. He’d take 3-4 years of development and gym work. Dees are perfect fit

Dees probably looking at about 4 draftees this year. Mac Andrew is going to be a chance but we will have to see if he goes top 20 and we miss out. Hope we get him in. With our picks starting in the high 30s then through to pick 70 ish range most likely. I’m confident JT and his team will again scout out our needs. Given our current picks and likely midfield depth priorities, I think some names to consider Isaac Birt - South Adelaide wingman. Strong runner and loves a goal. Blake Howes - Sandy Dragons. Athletic wing and half forward. Mitch Knevitt - Geelong Falcons. Tall athletic half forward and onballer. Rhett Bazzo - WA. Taller back with good mark, skills and run. Corey Warner - WA. tall mid with energy at the footy Lewis Rayson - Glenelg SA. Looked good in SAvWA game with run and skills plus good tackle and defensive footy. Sam Banks - Tassie half back. Great skills. Miller Bergman - Stingrays wingman. Running skilled mid. Will Bravo - Stingrays Bull. Cracks in and has pace to clear the contest. father son - Taj Woewodin NGA - Andy Moniz-Wakefield

Fantastic year from Bailey 59.24. Great contribution playing as a permanent forward. His Goalkicking accuracy was the key. Had lowest avg disposal count and avg marking count of his career but was so effective and dangerous. Vindication of his forward status and he’s not a half back/winger.

Absolutely. He was in the premiership celebration, well and truly

6 changes for me. retirement. Jones. Jetta delisted. Vdberg. Lockhart. Nietschke (r) Bradtke (cat b) Melksham Like him to stay but understand why we is chasing opportunities and perhaps a longer contract Bring in youngsters like Andrew, Banks, Rayson, Woewodin , Reyson, Moniz-Wakefield.

Good backup. Physically ready in case of emergency. And no $$$ salary cap impact. Smart move.

I’m still keen on youngsters with pace to compliment our strong midfield bulls. Some names include Isaac Birt and Will Bravo. I think we have most roles covered right now. BUT WE CANT BE COMPLACENT!!

Jake was unlucky not to be in the premiership team. Spargo kept on performing and just held his spot week after week. I think Jake is looking for opportunities and a 3-year contract. Dees probably would cut his dollars in his next contract at the end of 2022. I would like to see Dees retain him but understand why he is looking elsewhere.

Loved his finals series and really cemented his place in the team. Strong at the footy. Good tackler. Loved his composure. Kicked some key goals including the one on the 3rd quarter of the GF during the goal avalanche.

Agree to keep Mitch for another year. Break glass in case of emergency. Clearly we don’t see any other key position players available through draft , trade or free agency.

Jack Viney was a key player in our last win plus the 3 finals. He is the heart and soul of our strong midfield alongside Trac and Clarry. He has red and blue blood running through his veins. Champion player. Champion bloke.

Big loss. Thank you Burgo for helping deliver the premiership.

I have faith that the Dees will manage it. Salary cap impact is felt more for players like Melksham might have to take a pay cut on his next contract cycle. He’s probably looking for opportunities plus longer term and $$$ to be maintained.

Agreed. Seems the merchandise was pre bought by scalpers. Now selling on eBay to profiteer from our success. They should be available for members only imv

Lockhart. Very unlucky. Deserved another year. Vanders. Yes the pace of the game means he will struggle imo Bradtke. Never got the chance due to covid reduced cancellation of VFL Nietschke. Heartbreaking run of knee injuries. Jonesy. Thank you. You are a legend. Nev. Your intensity and bravery will be remembered. Question marks. Daw - I’d keep as Ruck depth if possible. Mitch Brown - probably will be delisted imv.

Peter Jackson Paul Roos Jason Taylor Simon Goodwin Darren Burgess Burgess should be counted as one of the primary appointments and reasons behind our success. Our fitness. Our resilience. Our reduced injury toll. Burgess has installed the physical belief in the team. You work hard. You get the benefits. Thank you Darren Burgess. Another of our premiership heroes.

Agree. It was relief. Amazement. Excitement. And we wanted it to continue. I went to bed about 1am. Been watching and reading everything over the last 24 hours. We did it. We did it. We did it.

Thanks Brownie really enjoyed listening to Goody and Trac.

Agree 17 wins. 4 losses. 1 draw. Top of the ladder. Minor premiers. Three finals. Three big wins. Premiers 2021 🏆 THATS AN AMAZING YEAR

The cup was the best guest. It takes 26 weeks of tough work by all the team. Very hard to get an appearance!!!

Taj Woewodin. Get him in.

Agree. I think Cerra really wants to come to MFC but we don’t have the bargaining chips in players or picks to satisfy Freo.

Daisy is the best special comments person. She has got coaching acumen. Clever and strategic. Dees need to move the footy. Be daring. Take it on. She was so right.
