Love the story. There will be some promising NGA recruits coming through. The Dees future ?? Langford Lindsay Throlstrup Turner McVee Pickett Windsor *Kalani White *Toby Sinnema There is a future!! Add a new coach at the Dees as well

Tom McDonald is only just doing alright. He's hot and cold. He started off taking a number of marks in our backline against Geelong and did OK for half a game. When the third and fourth quarters came along, he was beaten very easily by the opposition. This, particularly combined with the exceptionally poor defensive work by Harrison Petty opened the door for Geelong to do as they pleased. So yes, he does OK for a percentage of the time until he doesn.t. IMO he's too slow for the modern game. If you watch a replay of the game against North Melbourne, he wasn't even OK.

I can’t think of any player we have traded in that’s improved our team since the flag.

Longmire. Hird. Buckley. Simpson. Brad Green must be having a coffee with these blokes. Surely!!! If he’s not, then he is not doing his job.

Agree, never liked the addition of Jones, too familial, not dispassionate enough. Horrible decisions the club has made with he and Green. Roffey, a female touch who was a receptacle for team values snubbed. Green focusses on his 'stars' - team doomed

All these Forwards taking contested marks…. No wonder we are rubbish right now. Unbelievable!!

In our build up to the Premiership, the Dees recruited strongly. The recruits were players who playing AFL (not VFL) and at the standard. We were attracting players who either came home to Victoria or saw opportunities. Hibberd Lewis Melksham May Lever Langdon Brown All were players who were regulars. But since 2021 premiership… VFL grade only Dunstan Hunter Schache Billings McAdam Fullarton Sharp Campbell Enough evidence!!! As we watch the Hawks rise, they followed the recruiting blueprint. Don’t bring in players who are below par. Attract the players who are at the standard and make your team better. Memo. Cc Tim Lamb, Simon Goodwin.

every human in any role has a belief that they can achieve success, otherwise they wouldn't be there. he would not suddenly abandon his self-determination after a bad streak- because what we understand as a catastrophic streak is only relative to him. It's not up to him to stand down, but certainly he could ask what the club thinks is best and then talk it through

Omg I had the exact same experience - uncanny. Minus the rolls. I had a hot dog. It was identical to the G: barely resembling food.

Green is a club fanboy, he is as guilty as any of feeding the players egos. We need people who are discompassionate and stand for TEAM values. Kate Roffey was way better in that regard. It's hard to imagine how an organisation could make a swap like that when 1. they don't trade their star players and go all in on a successful 2025, and 2. at the same time bring in an interim CEO which spells transitional phase, who happens also to be a rather choleric fanboy

Who cares anymore Someone please just wake me up when Longmire is our coach Thanks

Umps getting North back in the game

I said it it yesterdays game day thread but it’s genuinely depressing how much Clarry has wrecked his career

I thought Tmac was pretty decent, definitely trying and some good intercept marks. Would have him anyway over Petty right now

Burgess had them ready for battle… Adelaide looks similar this year…

I'd be seriously offering essendon either Petracca or Oliver for our first round pick back. (I'm very happy with Lindsay by the way)

Can we trade Fritta for our first round pick?

1 word.......Burgess

The Brand should watch Dangerfield and play like that. Oliver should watch Rowell and get serious.

It's almost like we have a bunch of players who aren't playing well and a bunch of players who may not be quite up to it.

I reckon we are gone against them. You can just see the headlines written up already for that one.

I don't think at this stage Fullarton and Jefferson are the answer to our forward woes , however we need to send a message to our regular players who underperform. Fritsch,Spargo and Petty need to be dropped. Petty to play forward in the reserves as I feel that is a position that will benefit us eventually !!! . Pickett must only play forward. Rivers could possibly be sent back to the reseves as a mid. Sestan may fill his defensive roll. Adam or Tuner gets Petty's job back. Fullarton to play forward could play ruck for 20 percent. T.Mac forward pocket or is dropped.

Pressure should be mounting on the senior team with the imminent return of Lindsay, Lever, Tholstrup and Jefferson from the injury list. Good to see Sestan and Fullarton get a bit of form in the VFL. Laurie has been consistently one of Casey's best players over the last 2 years but had a down week and doesn't look to be an improvement in our midfield. I'd probably have him in the team over Sharp though. Wouldn't mind Jefferson straight back in but can see him and Tholstrup getting VFL time first.

I agree with all those comments except Viney play forward, He’s small, slow, can’t kick off either foot, nor mark over his head. Some forward.

Sliding doors moment that was never going to happen after 2023. I
