HFF. Tigers finished 13th in 2016 with only 8 wins. Lost the round 22 clash to Sydney by 20 goals. From the round 22 team, 19 players played in their 2017 GF and yesterday still had 14 of those players in that side that played in the 2020 GF. They won 2017 premiership in a huge turnaround. How? It wasn’t huge personnel changes. Things are key standouts. 1- Injury free run 2- skills skills skills 3- intensity 4- strategy and 5- Dusty is an absolute mega Star

IMV Lockhart May Lever Hibberd Tomlinson Salem Langdon Viney ****** Melksham Brown Harmes Fritsch Weideman Pickett Gawn Petracca Oliver Brayshaw Rivers Jackson Sparrow I’d be confident with the right strategy, physical development, intensity and footy IQ, this team can match any going ahead. With a few smart additions, MFC certainly have the talent to get that elusive premiership 2021 ins +4 in trade/FA. +3 in draft Foot soldiers: Hunt Vandenburg Petty Hore Anb Jetta Jones Jordan Baker Bedford Spargo Smith Nietschke (r) Bradtke (r) kk (x) OUTS - Bennell Chandler Cwagner jwagner Dunkley - trade OMc Tmc hannan Preuss

Tigers - all the players, squad coaches , support staff sing the song. Demons - sing the song and miss 3 players including the 6’10 captain. Footy is about IQ and making the right decisions

1 Dees need to do an SAS preseason 2 Goodwin needs to watch and strategically spend 100 man hours working out this game 3 Tigers are completely beatable (they bleed) but clubs are too lazy to figure it out. Watch how they get the footy to Short and Edwards to link through. They are excellent kicks and had about 15 forward 50 entries tonight.

Sorry had to bump this. I thought this kid BALTA was going to be good. I am happy to talk to JT anytime

He was gone 6 weeks ago. Can’t believe he kept on going. Yes OMc might be a Cats option.

I am confident both can be achieved

And Gil shaking hands with the general public. Never thought that would ever happen. !!!

Settle down. No Community transmissions in QLD.

Cats need Cameron. Hawkins was a big disappointment in the GF

Sheppard- Norm Smith Medal- clearly best in ground.

Cher cover. Ffs.

DMA ? cub sport ? wolfmother ✅ overall ???

Highlight of the footy calendar. No. It’s definitely not. It’s another sad day and year that we count to say it’s 56 years since we won a flag. Now the longest drought of the AFL clubs. We see others celebrate and this year, have two clubs with multiple recent premierships. It sucks !!!!! Surely the Demons (and Saints) supporters deserve the chance to experience Premiership glory. One thing to always take from the grand final is the players that succeed in grand finals. They are not soft, light footballers. It’s the blokes who love the game. They lift. There’s no rebuild garbage left. It’s now. It’s 2021. It’s no excuses. It’s running through brick walls. Bring 100% intensity or get out.

Trade Harmes ? no no no and no Loves the footy club Just play him in the right position. Defensive midfielder or as a half forward (he’s a good mark and ok kick for goal)

Bank on a lions or power player. The rest will be well into the off season mode.

Pick 74 from the Crows would get it done for Oscar. And we would Pass on that pick and not use it.

Yes KK would be inactive and immediately replaced on the list by a rookie eg Lockhart for them to play

From another post, if JT had to turn sliders into diamonds, I’d go for #47-52 Rhyan Mansell, 20 yo running wing half forward from Tassie, SANFL WWT Eagles in 2020 #60s Patrick Walker 18yo (Tassie) yes another Tassie boy who showed in TSL senior footy - good composure and excellent skills, 188cms size. # 60s Ollie Lord , 18yo-(Sandringham) - project key forward. Trained with Dees over the summer and has makings of a AFL key forward 60s Will Bravo 18 yo (Dandenong) from the Stingrays footy factory, showed as an underager in 2019, his excellent goal kicking and pace and energy to forward group

I reckon we get Preuss - ***Giants future 2021 2nd round Tmc - *Crows 2020 #44 3rd round, Omc - pick 88 Hannan - **Dogs future 2021 3rd round . Brown - Kangas get Mfc 2020 #23 2nd round pick and the **Dogs future 2021 3rd round pick Phillips- ***Pies get Giants future 2nd round 2021 Isaac Smith - free agent Narkle - Cats get *Crows #44 2020 3rd round pick 2020 - 3 draft picks -#47,62,63 Turn sliders into diamonds 2021 MFC draft picks untouched.

I think Brown comes in if Tmc goes out. That’s where the $$$ come from imv

Assume primary list reduces from 44 to 42 , with Bradtke additional and retained as a Cat-B rookie outs. Cwagner JWagner Dunkley Bennell and probably Chandler Trade Outs. Tmc, OMc, Hannan, Preuss Retain KK (on list but paid out for 2021 season) Jones Jetta Nietschke moves to rookie list Trade ins. Ben Brown, Isaac Smith, Tom Phillips, Quinton Narkle Retain 3 draft picks.

2021 A Demons premiership and A covid-19 vaccine BRING IT ON

Mitch Georgiades. Tim Membrey. Shaun Mckernan. Jack Darling. The list goes on of blokes that made Oscar look decidedly 2nd rate. imv the club will look to offload Oscar to anyone who’s interested and maybe get a pick in the 60s or 70s or just delist. But it’s just imv

I still think Macrae is top 12-15. He should go before our current pick but obviously the trade period may throw up a lot of pick changes.
