Which Dee has X-Factor?

Featured Replies

Posted

Other teams have players with X-Factor who can turn a game in a few acts (i.e. Buddy, Cyril - until he retired, Danger, DeGoey etc) - who is our player?

Maybe Melksham?

 

When Petracca realises how good he can be; you can add him to that list.

Petracca ( maybe )


Gawn, Clarry, Tmac, Tracc, Melksham...

If he doesn't already, its only just around the corner: James Harmes 

It's a different kind of X-factor, but Gawn is the guy. Remember the 2nd bulldogs game, which was pretty close until just after half-time when we got (i think) four straight goals from perfect centre clearances, every one of which started with a brilliant Gawn tap. We won the game in a five minute burst, and it was all because of a series of perfect hit-outs to advantage. 

 

I suspect Petracca is being named because he hasn't yet delivered consistently what we hoped for so we are now hoping for occasional glimpses. I think our X-factor player might be Garlett, except that I don't think he'll get a chance to show it. And that's possibly a good thing as it suggested we can trust the rest of our team to get the job done.

Agree here... harmes would fly right under the radar but always seems to brush off a tackle or two and make things happen 

In time I really hope it will be Petracca. I would have said Garlett in the past. 

I guess its ok for where our list is to not have a true X-factor player at the moment. Right now we've got a bunch of real honest toilers who have a bit of class.

Agree, Harmes has something about him that makes him very dangerous. The surprise packet of 2018.

He’s an opportunist who is just beginning to realise how dangerous he could be.

Oliver.

Im surprised no one has mentioned him yet. Perhaps because he is consistently brilliant. He does things that just takes your breath away

I think Oliver is a given. It's like saying the sun is hot. 

I'll have to say Fritch because he reminds me of a "ballet dancer" who played for us.

 

Hannan  is exciting to watch when he is on song!

Fritch


We take Oliver for granted. He does some amazing things in the middle that he makes look easy.

What we are looking for is a goal kicker close to goal. 

Oliver might become that, although I'm not sure he'll ever reach Dusty Martin levels as a deep forward, so he might often be the guy who sets up the goal not the one who kicks it. Petracca is the one who can turn an ounce of space in to a goal scoring opportunity.

I'd love to see Petracca one out in the square more. And of course a revitalised Hogan playing at full confidence. Until then we use Melksham as a medium and Tommy Mc as the go to tall. We're probably looking for that small.

Not sure about X-factor, but Hannan seems to have his eye on mark of the year at some stage of his career.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
