Don't understand why Buckley would want to follow the Malthouse route and go to Carlton. Better off earning big bucks in the media, then coming back in 3-4 years at somewhere that isn't a complete basket case.

Infinitely better than he used to be. He used to write stuff like 'IF theres a better player than the Bont THEN there isn't'. Thanks for that Damo... Guy drives me crazy

Popularity contest. Coaches award has more weight IMO

Always loved Jack. But listening to this just reinforces why he never made it; clearly loved (and loves) the off field side of the game too much. Not sure how much of that was development and a lack of leaders and how much is just his personality. But I get the feeling he loves being a lad too much to ever really get everything out of a his career

Yep, this framed. And other than that well, it depends on what they release!

Only one not in a Dees jumper. He's gone....

Yeah, fair call. I was just looking for all the ways the AFL could help the geriatric Cats.

Think we'll be playing Geelong. Greene sent to tribunal, Green fractured forearm, Reid hammy, Cummings ankle. Hopefully it's hard fought and the Cats get banged up. And hopefully there is no bye between the semi and prelim.

While we're on Dees content does anyone have that website that is compiling all the interviews, etc? I can't find it

50th goal for the year for TaTa. Thank God he can kick

Saw a stat today that when Cemron kicks no goals, Brisbane are 0-3. If he kicks 3 goals, they are 9-0. They also had 5 guys kick more than 25 goals. Very nervous about their firepower.

Who have we got over 30 that's still playing a role? Gawn's the oldest in our team and isn't 39 til December . We had the second youngest team last week and are ridiculously young, a fact I think is often overlooked by commentators.

Free kick Geelong. 12-4 already

I thought so but when I went and checked the website it listed McClure

Jake Niall on The Age's real footy podcast made a crack about Dees fans trading in their snow passes for a trip to WA and got shouted down very quickly by both Caro and (I think) Sam McClure.

Given where Daicos will go surely they'll want a future first or a player need, otherwise they risk any picks being eaten up.

Scott said on 360 that Danger was 'sick', inferring he may have had the poos... Gawn raised this on the Gus and Gawny podcast. Said he caught Lever's eye, then they looked away so no-one would notice, then caught his eye just before he kicked it and knew he had a pretty good chance of marking it.

Parker asking for a long term deal at 700k, apparently. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/08/24/star-free-agents-contract-demand-to-stay-at-sydney/

Mentioned in the injury report. “He’s giving himself every chance and we’ll see how he progresses later on in the week" https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1007697/injury-report-smooth-sailing-for-finals

Goody would be a deserving coach, but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it to Longmire. Sydney weren't expected to be anywhere near it, where as we have under performed for years. Goody isn't really seen as a great coach yet, I don't think. That'll change should we win it all

Nic Nat had the fourth most clearances this year. I think his impact has been enormous. Gawn is a much better mark but has only kicked 11 goals to Nic Nat's 3. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Nic Nat as the starting ruck.

I don't think they'll pick May, although they should. Weitering or Andrew will get the pick with Lever, Aliir and couple others. Interesting if Gawn is starting ruck or on the bench.

I jumped on the Dyl & Friends podcast bandwagon last week. The interview with Max is well worth a listen. Interesting when he talks about being made captain, and that others have very different styles of leadership, including Viney who has a lead by example style. I think Max was leading by example on Saturday. Also interesting that he said he felt his job was to make new draftees comfortable, and wanted them to come in to a very different environment and culture than he did when he was drafted.

This may be my favourite of these now. But hard to go past Wattsy on Queens Birthday

God I hope it's not us. Terrible conditions, even with BBB in the team
