Obviously haven't had the best season this year, but similar things to your comments above were stated at the end of 2020 and the next year, they were both well deserved premiership players.

Write them off at your peril I say.

Both, but particularly T Mac have earnt their right to retire or play out his contract whenever they see fit.

Happy for them to go on if they believe they are up to it.

    McDonald is fine to go on in my mind, as his issues stem from lack of fitness due to foot trouble. Brown's knee is never going to get better, so he needs to just manage it and play as much footy as his body lets him.

    Hearing a few sources say we are still pretty heavily into Georgiadis.

     

    He does have a 4 year offer on the table from Port, but hasn’t signed on yet

    Cool beans Jayden. 

    My guess is BBB would be the more likely of the two to pull up stumps early, but I think he still has pleanty to offer us on the list next season.  Even as a depth player at Casey he's got such great footy smarts and character that he'd be a great mentor to someone like Jefferson.

    I'd also love to see BBB kick a big bag for the MFC and I recon it's still a possibility if he can get his body right for long enough.

    Gawn Dog, can you please explain if we're getting pick 5 and splitting for 7 and 11 (which seems like a potentially good move for us), where does pick 4 come from?

    GCS pick 4, which we take through a pick swap of our 2nd rounders and pick 15. Should give the GCS a net 400 minimum depending on what we put up. They’ll need to find at least 1000 pts somehow if they want all 3 academy players.

    Mitch Georgiades swap for B Grundy might get some traction. Win win.

    Problem with Mathieson is that he thinks he's beast mode as well, probably refers to himself in the 3rd person when he talks too.  
    NQR AFL standard player, West Coast needs a rebuild, not a re-tool.  Go for Devon Robertson.

    Mathieson has a bit too much of Angry Phil Read in him hahaha

    Really don't want to lose Jordon. He is one player I hope we lock in. I hear Harmes may explore options and all good - love him and thank him for his service but better opportunities might be elsewhere.

    Schache is a no risk tall extension imo.

    there's also far more demand for a number 1 ruck now than 12 months ago, Swans ruck has retired, Port cleary don't have any idea who they like/don't like any of them and the cats have missed the 8 and have just lost one of their two 33yo rucks to retirement too.

    If that was the case, he wouldn't have made it to FA and 8 years in the system

    Anyone who has even managed a single AFL game is a significantly better footballer than me, but in the scheme of targeting who to recruit, Rhys's disposal is ordinary, he's managed an average of 9 games per seasons being in the AF, never playing more than 15 games in one season. So, he still fits in that NQR category as an AFL player. He's a solid VFL player...

    West Coast won't improve by settling for players like Mathieson, oh and 'Beast mode' is a moniker that I'd attach to someone like Viney, Matt Rowell, Dangerfield (in his heyday)

    I would prefer we blood another midfielder with Jordan’s minutes. I don’t see anything elite in his game.

    We don't have one at VFL level unfortunately unless you regard TW, Laurie or AMW as midfielders

    I think Taj and Laurie are mids, but they're smaller than JJ.

    Laurie was a mid as junior and Woey a wing IIRC. Also we have ND4/5 coming our way - they need a spot to compete toward.

    Has Flanders re signed yet?

    Not yet. Would be happy to throw Freos second rounder their way if we don’t use it to trade up for another pick in the top ten. Flanders is AFL ready and performing well in the midfield now he’s got his chance. Can play inside or outside and form part of our rotation after our big guns.

    John Ralph hinting to Gary On The Couch that the Dees were meeting with Reid.  With North getting pick one it seams unlikely now though

    BBB getting his body right is a rather large 'if' given his chronic knee issue. Likely to retire for mine maybe with some payout for final year.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
