spirit of norm smith

Hi all. I’m excited. I’m scared. It’s like we are all about to go on a rollercoaster together. A terrifying spiraling rollercoaster. It’s exciting but terrifying. You have to give your heart and soul to the Demons, to feel the hurt of defeat but the exhilaration of victory. We are so close. So close to that premiership we have dreamed of. All the dedication. All our time and thoughts. All the posts. All our potential strategies. All those trades and recruiting suggestions. This is what we do it for. To aspire. To dream to get the Dees that premiership. To feel the glory. It’s so close. Let’s ride it together and no matter what, we hold ourselves together and ride the wave. We might get dumped and we might ride the perfect tube and feel the exhilaration. That’s what we signed up for when we give our hearts to the Dees. Let’s keep the belief. 2021 is our year. The premiership we dreamed of.

Hi all apparently all allocations for MFC sold out I was just trying to reallocate My wife spoke to club membership line just then and they got message our allocation of tix was gone not sure of the number but probably over 12000-15000 tickets max

Got P2 barcodes if anyone has opportunity to go

How do we do that? Is it done by contacting the club to link up us to Dees WA supporters??

Backing in Goodwin to make the right choices. And Burgess to get May back on the park. I think Petty gets Naughton. Naughton gets up and back and leaps. Petty can nullify him. May gets the job on English to body him out. Smith Weightman Hannan are the dangers.

Believe it We are good enough it’s going to be a huge day

Bailey Laurie plays the half forward the role that currently Spargo occupies. His skills and ball winning are key strengths. Dees will give him time given he didn’t really play much in 2020 and was injured for most of 2021. We can build depth and give the kid time to develop. Still really optimistic about his future in red and blue once he gets injury free.

Agree mostly with this , except their backline cannot be taken lightly. Keath probably replaces Gardner. Cordy is a big bodied defender. Wood and Williams are hard and skilled. Dale and Daniel are excellent players who setup the play. Duryea just gets it done.

Yes in the last game I was screaming at the TV (as insane as it is) “who’s on Daniel. Goodwin wake up. He’s killing us” 34 possessions across half back. Sets up play. Maybe Sparrow plays as a defensive half forward.

Ouch. Dogs are winning all over the park.

Who’s in? I think no change. But tempted to add Hunt for his pace as the sub. Jordon probably gets the loyalty nod. likely v Dogs Their midfield is their absolute strength. Bont Macrae Smith Libba Hunter Treloar Dunkley. 7 very very good players. Contested footy and pace to run it. Huge huge huge midfield contest. Dees can bring it and are able to get it done. Trac, Clarry, Jack, Harmes, Langdon, Brayshaw, Sparrow. Dogs defence is very solid. Keys are Dale and Daniel across half back. They are skilled and run it. Anb and probably Spargo will have to stand up. It’s critical. They destroyed us in round 19. Wood or Williams also very good and match up on Fritsch. Rourke Smith or Duryea on Pickett. Jackson and Brown could be our wildcards and will be the Dogs headaches and have to have to stand out. Dogs attack is Naughton and Schache for height but it’s the pace of Hannan Vandermeer and potent Johanissen or Weightman. May and Petty backed up by Salem and Hibbo and Bowey and Rivers are well backed. Lever again will be reversed tagged by the Dogs. Gawn and Jackson v English and Martin. This is the Dees ability to win first footy and Jackson is the player who could be the youngster who can make a big influence up forward or in the relief ruck role.

Yes thought we’d have demolished Port. Much tougher v Dogs

Dogs are super quick. Good skills. Very dangerous.

Best pick from the 2009 draft. Was supposed to the draft to setup premiership glory. $$$cully pick 1 Trengove pick 2 Gysberts pick 11 Tapscott pick 18 but it was the big guy with the knee reco at pick 34 that’s the golden selection from the 2009 draft. He has become the captain and current day superstar of the Melbourne Footy club. Out of all the wasted picks, Barry Prendergast at least got us big Max Gawn.

Geelong is making enquiries about Grant Birchall. Perfect for their strategy 🤣🤣🤣

Huge game in GF for young Kozzzzzy. He will be a key to our chances. Love his pressure and energy. Needs to work on his set shot for goal just in case.

Getting better each week. Feel he might be a key in the GF. Has kicked the first goal in both finals. 10 pressure acts really showed his value.

Keep this thread going. I watched the 3rd quarter again this morning just to make sure it really happened. March into the Grand Final. GIVE EM HELL 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️

Joeboy has : Got it right Finally nailed it Year’s Best summary Thank you Joeboy

WE WERE RUTHLESS YES YES YES

Lyon still has such passion for the footy club.

Nathan Jones has been the heart of the club through bad times and been so loyal to stay the course. His influence last night was not in kicks or handballs but his presence and spirit. His embrace of his teammates and especially the young blokes showed his leadership and mentorship continues.

Picket Fence. You might be at odds with the views of many but we all should remember that you are a fellow Dees fanatic and just (hopefully) want the best for the Melbourne Footy Club and bring us premiership glory. Time to wrap our arms around each other and march on !!!

Can we fix Steven May? That’s the biggest question in the next fortnight. He’s so important to the team. A true leader on and off field.

Absolutely grateful that Christian Petracca came to the Dees. He has shown the superstar qualities both ON and OFF the field. A great footballer and a fantastic respectful young man. He shows his values on the field and through interaction with teammates and in interviews. It was huge that we chose him to be a Demon.
