Dawes has done vey little in the past and considering he gets paid the most I put little faith in him. Frost is a better option due to his youth and can't expect him to be an instant success as a 2nd ruck man based on limited experience. Pedersen is only 193 cm which makes him a midget ruckman.

Lack of quality players and experience.

Michie has been in and out of the seniors many times in the past,he probably is a good reserves player.Surely we need a defender,perhaps White would be the go.

THe major problem is we don't have the cattle to produce a worth while defence.O.Mac eventually will make it. White showed promise last year. Trengove could possibly fill a defencive roll. Lumumba is past it. Dunn has lost the plot and Frost needs time,probably needs a rest. Grimes ,Minchie,Newton,Dawes and Terlich will probably be gone at the end of the year which means there is no point playing them in the seniors unless there is an injury. Matt Jones has gone missing,nothing to do with his form.

Perhaps we need to rest players from time to time,the new rotation rule may have be taken into consideration. Having said that N.Jones may need a week off this week,some supporters may disagree however getting game time into youngsters will be good for the club. Some players will be moved on at the end of the year.Once again fresh legs should help the teams win-loss ratio and prevent over confidence.

Years ago the Swans were a side that could win anywhere,they didn't select horses for courses. Once again Paul seems to be making stupid references to why we cannot achieve winning matches. The players in the reserves may not be much different than those that are in the seniors,making changes is like shuffling deck chairs.The young players need senior experience and inconjunction with another good round of draft picks the Dees will be a finals side next year.

Due to our pathetic loss the Dees may rise up the ladder because of Gold Coast smashing against Geelong

Suggestion anyone to be promoted based on a VFL game that hasn't began is a bit weird,yet I do agree someone must pay the price. Remember we can't expect the Dees to win 3 in a row no matter how easy the draw is. Any expectation would be considered un demon like. We need another good round of draft picks at year's end probably expercienced players.

Where is Matt Jones? seems to be suffering from terminal soreness ( a made up injury to baffle demon supporters )

I hope that Paul Roos doesn't mention how good we were in the NAB cup,I suppose any excuse is better than none!!!!!

NUTBEAN the Dees surely would have a back up plan by now if Hogan wishes to leave when his contract is up.

Prior to not winning against St.Kilda for yonks we beat them 6 matches in a row prior.

The way the Dees are playing Hogan is not the focal point,the club realises he may want to go home. Hopefully he chooses to stay and the fact Freo are crap that may encourage him to stay. Another good recruiting round at the end of the year will ensure that we will be finals material. Remaining spuds will be let go.

Next goal wins has it's problem,what happens if a player touches the ball but the replay proves different is it then fair for a team to be awarded the grand final. 15 mins times two halves with extra bench would be good and if still a draw the team that ended up higher after the home and away matches gets the flag.

When a team gets better hoodoos tend to get broken. The cats had the wood over the hawks then the trend reversed and once again the cats prevailed. The MFC have two straight wins against GWS and Collingwood.

Watts needs to be consistent and if he was at Hawthorn he would spend a lot of time in the two's.He may end up being a success.

Getting game time into young players is a good idea,so whoever gets dropped would be unfortunate. Hunt and Harmes were backup mids for Petracca and Brayshaw,oh boy how fortunate are the Dees. Hunt will win a Rising Star Award this year.

Dawes,Garland and Grimes no room in seniors at this piont in time.

Who ever gets dropped will be unlucky. It is nice to have decent backup players for a change. Getting senior games into the young players is also a good move by the club,not so long ago people wanted Wagner and Frost to be dropped. Great win.

Gold Coast who have the same colours as the Chinese flag should be popular in China. The way our pollies allow for the sale of rural land to the Chinese their flag will have another star on it which represents Oz. I am all for domination I wish it was the Dees.

We must be a chance because we are not favourite.

Does anyone know what is the height,weight and age of Keilty?Has anyone been promoted off the rookie list for Melksham and King yet ? Is Tregove likely to play this weekend?

Petracca is a beast and therefore should be released. We need to max out our beasts v Collingwood.

New comparison update Dees v Dogs v Saints (after beating pies)

Satyriconhome,i assumed that getting Crowley was not a good idea. He is tough and in the short term would be an asset,of course he will be exterminated but we have to wait until the cavalary arrives.
