Time for Ken to go. Had his chances and they need a refresh. Hinkley to Bulldogs has been floating around the traps of late.

Is he actually a good coach? Which club is going after a guy who’s had 10 years and done nothing? If I was Port I’d be going after Leppitsch. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,540]

Oh well if nothing else, we should be in the 8 if we win by at least 2 goals given Port’s percentage has been smashed.

Waiting for the “ Lions will beat us by 15 goals next week on this form” posts.

 

 

We can't even beat them on our ground when we've practically been full strength.

We go in next week without trac and lever isn't  a definite. 

I'm not confident at all

[Demonsone 2,056]

Good to see Bedford, Jordan & Grundy doing well … 

[Deesprate 1,324]

Reckon before we worry about lions we focus on Nth no gimmee the way where playing. Definitely something wrong at the club that Fred loss was inexplicable. Supporters are mushrooms kept in the dark and you know the rest

You don't like Jesse Hogan?

No, he just likes whinging, criticising and posting the same comment week after week.

 

[Demonsterative 3,021]

Just a reminder to all Dee supporters. Here is the definition of Supporter
 

someone who supports a particular idea, group, or person:

 

Let’s get behind our MFC people. 
 

Edit, stop poo-ing on the club. It’s ok to not be happy at times, but too many continue to harp on and on and on, and criticise the club.

I do but we had no control in losing him 

[dino rover 714]

In light of our challenges forward GWS seem happy to just bang it fwd -easier to do that with Hogan and Riccardi there to launch and green to crumb

they don’t seem to be much “lowering their eyes” and I don’t see super leading patterns or much “strategy”

Sydney OTOH move the ball with great pace (which we can’t) and when the ball comes in that fast you don’t need a Gary Ablett snr to convert 

we have neither key fwds who can compete in the air or a fast counter attack and our scores attest to that

Incorrect.  We chose to trade Hogan, unlike Jordon who was a FREE AGENT.

who we still got a 2nd round pick for, which was about his worth

Gws have youth and speed. They dont tend to dawdle  ( i.e stop and let oppos sset up )   Something to ponder for us

Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

They are a lot like us in 2021 without being as good defensively. They will not win it this year nor any other in the foreseeable future. Right now it’s Sydney, Pies and Lions for mine. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,311]

Swans v Giants looks like the third thriller so far this round. We’ll have the blowout game for sure. 

[dees189227 12,509]

Has anyone been to gws's home ground? When I was staying down that way in Sydney earlier in the year I walked past it & it looked OK.

Im not in denial and have my head buried in the sand that our club has botched up the last 2 trades with spuds & given away players with taken for a bag of chips

Oh dear… just seen the Port score 😬😬

Can someone briefly fill me in? Were Brisbane firing on all cylinders and/or were Port terrible?

It's one thing to have an opinion but a different thing entirely to keep harping on about it and posting the same thing over and over and over and over again.  I think we all know how you feel.

Leaving that one hanging @Dee Zephyr - 😅 which way is the blow out? 😇

[BDA 23,048]

The Giants looked like world beaters early in the season. Their form drop off has been even worse than ours.

'Tis the season for funky results.

[At the break of Gawn 4,511]

If we lose tonight, the AFL should put up the poll of which top 8/expected top 8 team is the biggest pretender.

Geelong last night, who handed the baton to Port today who are now handing the baton to GWS who better not be handing it over to us.

Sure is. Other than Sydney and Carlton, we are the only other team performing consistently
