  1. Yes proved his talent and value. Finally played in a wing/half forward role (as he had at Essendon). Not suited to the back pocket. I love his determination and long goals from 40-50 out. No backward steps. 21 goals was a good return. Proved that he can be a 2 goal/game player in 2018 which will lift us.
  2. Club now has put the Goal of the Year on the MFC Website. Happy voting. Again hope it gets a trophy on club B&F night.
  3. Ten talking points 1- Viney & Oliver in the precount fashion segments. All class. 2- Jack Fitzpatrick. Got his dream to go to the Brownlow 3- I hate Sportsbet & all that rubbish. Dane Swan is a total tool. 4- mark of the year ... Danihers was great. Howe’s was unbelievable and better. Deserved to win it (again) 5- Bruce Mac is very annoying. Dusty held his nerve. 6- umps hate Melbourne. Proven v Freo ... lost by 2 points in last minute No Votes 7- Daisy Pearce is a star 8- sure Martin was pick 3 and the Dees picked Scully & Trengove. But who wouldn’t at the time. We made draft bloopers but these choices were solid at the time. Unlike drafting Lucas Cook, Gysberts, Strauss etc 9- Matisse Stynes. Jimmy would be proud. She was very good. 10- Jonesy sure was BOG in the fashion stakes. Great style.
  4. We lost to Freo in the last 30 seconds and 2 points. Freo players got 3,2,1. Really fun)($d system clearly. Oliver still unknown to the umps
  5. Watts is going nowhere. Tell Eddie to flush himself down the gold porcelain bowl.
  6. Yes they tanked. But we lost to Collingwood. Simple. We lost it.
  7. Why are the Tigers now in the Grand Final? Sure it's the strength of Dustin Martin, the class of Trent Cotchin, the sheer nous of Riewoldt and the stability of Alex Rance. Its adding Nankervis, Prestia & Caddy. Its adding small dynamic forwards. But there are 4 other key factors 1- LUCK ... no injuries all year (really only Nathan Drummond, 35-40 "list player" who did his knee). Amazing. Clean health for 40 others. 2- FOOTBALL ... football football and football. The Tigers had 330 possessions (200 kicks, 130 handballs) vs Giants 390 possessions (210 kicks 180 handballs). This was virtually the same in Tigers vs Cats. Other sides like Melbourne overpossess the footy and lose the footy in turnovers 3- GOALS ... the forwards kick goals. If you are inside 50, run and kick goals. Not a further 3 handballs and finally 4- G&D... tough determined footballers. No shirkers. Blokes all put their heads over the footy.
  8. Agree buy as many tix as possible
  9. Anyone who has seen the Dragons this year must be impressed by Seb Williams. Has a lot of AFL qualities.
  10. Gun player. Likely top 3 pick in 2018 draft. But why post on Demons site. We have no intent on getting in a position for such a pick.
  11. It's consensus that we keep the Weid. Like a 1970s bob Marley party !! Eddie will be pi$&@d. If anyone mentions this again, then expect Armageddon.
  12. Wiseblood PMS etc remember my comment was a big No to a weid trade.
  13. Agree. Pies love romance of Daicos, Brown, Weideman names in their lineup. Like we do with Viney, Stretch ...
  14. Apparently Pies will ask for potential trade for Weideman. They see him as future Full Forward alongside Darcy Moore. I say No but if pick 6 was on offer then they can keep talking. Perhaps... Pick 6 and pick 23 for Weideman and MFC 1st round 2018 draft
  15. Need to find another tall ruck/fwd in rookie draft or late in main draft. Keegan Brooksby or Jack Hannath are only two players that come to mind. If Maxy went down, we would be fu&$(/d.
  16. Agree Liam Ryan is another to watch. Interested in how he and Jeffy would pressure the opposition.
  17. Lever and crows pick 35 & 53 for MFC pick 10 & 27 & 45
  18. Tim Kelly. Runner up in Sandover Medal. Quick. Skilled. 23yo. Exactly what MFC needs. Goal kicker. Ready to play. Rotating mid to half forward. Would be available in range 30-50.
  19. Great job boys. At least the red and blue got another premiership. Always a good moment in anyone's life. Enjoy
