leave it to deever

Good call. I have high hopes for this one. Hopefully it will harden his resolve and he bounces back even better. Get well soon AMW.

I can't wait for footy. I'm sure like most here, I enjoy watching other teams but nothing beats the joy of us winning Last year was so painful. Id gotten so used to winning. I hope we can bounce back. And prior to that....losing two double chances in consecutive years was a really poor effort. We really should have won that final against Pies. Selection was really messed up. Goody dropped the ball. No way around it. The sub had played a few games and then was forced to play in a huge final. Wow... Simon Simon Simon. And not playing Grundy too was strange. But losing Milksham and then Gus was just the ultimate straw. Even then we almost won. Given the age and injuries of all our fwds...the club failed also in not recruiting a big experienced fwd. I fear it may be the case this year. I hope it's not. Years of footy doldrums for us Demon supporters had lulled me into a almost accepting failure. So to be on top for so many years made footy a whole new ballgame so to speak. Let's hope it happens again and we play finals this year. In any case it's been a long time between goals. See you all on game day.

I think Disco is underrated. He's the tallest player we have in this fwd line up. I wish the club had pick up a very big bodied player with experience as I feel our fwd line lacks firepower still.

KP suspended again is a shame. Really needs to address this element if he's going to emerge to star status.

Thanks DZ. MJ in my book is still a complete unknown quantity based on the fact he hasn't played a minute of AFL. I hear others hold high hopes for him. I' ll certainly pay Turner and it's a big oversight on part. He's definitely showed enough that he's a real wildcard. He's very strong and plays bigger than he is . He's also a dead eye at goal kicking. Like Roo and Kozzie seems to have a have a little bit of mongrel in him which some of the elites have. Although it's a fine line with Kozzie. I think Fritta displays the correct amount of " controlled mongrel.' I most completely can't add Tmac and Petty into the mix like you have. Tmac has been quite outspoken regarding this and his body has supported his position. He's done very well returning to a defender and age doesn't usually allow the reverse of this. As for Petty, it's his body that has spoken volumes about his sojourn up forward. He's simply not strong enough and he's not experienced enough. Doesn't bring his skills of reading the ball like he did defending. Chin has showed cameos of brilliance but doesn't keep the runs on the board. Seems to start with a bang. Thought he was going to be a gun. Still some time left I suppose As for Tracca, he's required to play in the middle, especially if we play Kozzie in his best spot. As for the others Langford and Johnson, it's early days at a new club so I'll hold off. In summary I don't think its really a big stretch to argue that not a great deal has changed. In fact it's pretty clear to me and a few media pundits that this, with the one of the greatest midfield duets about having some issues, could cost us a final' s spot again. That's why a lot depends on Roo and Kozzie for me. But yea, again tx for putting Disco into the equation. MJ is a bonus player for me. No expectations but he could tear things up. I hope so. But in terms of improving and impact I'm putting my Euros on Van Rooyen. Also I'm really expecting a big year from Fritta. He seemed to be playing well below his best last year. I want more energy and intensity with a lot more chasing, tackling and other pressure acts. He seemed to be jogging after way too many players last season and it's not just poor playing, it doesn't inspire his mates. So technically while there is a good mix of some great talent, it's an issue of it combining and the coach commandeering the best from them all. Let's hope Goody and his staff have enough juice in them to get us another sweet flag. Cheers.

His success will play a huge part into us making finals this year Despite our recruiting I feel our fwd line is still suspect. I feel we need a really big year from Roo this year. Petty has the talent but doesn't seem to have the mindset to be a successful fwd. Also I don't think he is strong enough. If we had the luxury of playing Trac permanently and constantly fwd it would also make a huge difference. Same with Kozzie. All eyes on Roo. Maybe a fit and firing Spargo may help too.

I think I'll go around kayo and get a digital Membership from the Mfc. I used to have an interstate Ms bit let it lapse due to financial pressure. I think I'll get it again just to support the club even if I don't get to any games. It's not really that much.

For what it's worth even with the price increase Kayo is still pretty good value I share the cost of mine with my next door neighbor. I don't know if they have any proximity codes to stop this sort of thing but as of the end of last year, my neighbor could still log into my account. I don't know someone can log into another account in a location a fair way from another's. Thankfully my neighbor is a league fan and our viewing never crashes. Giving extra money to Mr Murdoch doesn't fill me with cheer. No apologies to any fans of him.😀

Thanks for that. I thought the Lions was cheaper but I could indeed have been wrong.

Why is the Mfc digital Membership so expensive? People buy it to support the club and watch Kayo. Times are tough. I've heard it's cheaper for other clubs.

I was referring to the nursery rhyme.

So glad I could return the favor. There was no argument...just a statement of fact. We recruited two incredibly successful players . So your wrong. The time element is immaterial. Nothing was flawed except of course your claim that I was. Can you just let it go. I'm sure others are tired of it .

Once, given the quality of the lad it was a great return. Actually I think it was two....Wight and Stynes. Wow. Plus it paved the way for others in different clubs. Give it a rest mate. It's getting boring.

I'm guessing as a spokesperson for Cotton on, he won't be raising sheep on his new farm. Sorry ET, I'll show myself out.
