His mate needs to get a game first

Really pleased for Dunn _ an amazing transformation from a wasted talent to a core player and now a leader. Well done Lynden. Has also earned himself a solid new contract.

UNfortunately I have the feeling Robbos mate is correct about Chip. The times they are a'changing.

It is good to hear but at this stage the operation going well is a mere platitude. All it means there were no unforeseen complications - nothing can be said about the end result.

My main concern is how they are managing Jesses frustration and mental state around not playing. We already have seen what can happen. Sometimes it can be harder to handle an ill-defined problem than a more serious injury where there is a more predictable time course. Hopefully they are keeping him busy and engaged and making him feel a part of it all. It would be easy for him to get homesick in this situation.

Crapus muchus.

Does anybody see a similarity with Watts' approach to the game a Travis Johnstone? Travis was one of the biggest disappointments in my time following the Dees. A sublime talent but laconic to the point of laziness and i doubt if he every laid an effective tackle.

Watts needs to doigt alus extracta

Stability, commitment, hope - simple really. Well done JKH

Where's Dom Barry?

Dangerfield come on down.

Toumpas, Riley, Michie, Salem, Kent - midfield stocks rising with competition for spots

maybe do a preseason in Wolf Creek

Why Terlich often kicks in God only knows

rThe tackling was woeful - both for the low numbers, half hearted attempts and poor technique. You would think the coaches would be furious

If you said he plays WITH himself I think we could agree

Agree that overall it was an improvement however the 2nd quarter especially brought back bad memories

Would rather have Clisby than Terlich or Evans - has been in the best for Casey for past 2 weeks. Would be ahead of Strauss at the moment but good to see he made the bests

Ain't think there are a lot in the queue before him. Was reasonable today I thought. Think the backline spell may be at an end

Can't agree with Dunn getting votes - his worst game for a long time

Jack Viney was a positive - He and Chunk are the only midfielders that play with any intensity. The rest were asleep for the first half.

Despite winning the tap outs surely it is not too much to expect our ruck man to have more than 3 possessions and to take no contested marks week after week. As for Bail as well as keep his opponent down he needs to create with his possesions - saw none of that. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

Spencer 3 disposals -hopeless giraffe! Everything that needs to be said about Watts has been said - disgraceful. Players like Bail can't put 2games together. McKenzie- no future. Another big clean out needed

I've been a Watts apologist - no more. Softest game I've seen from anyone at that level.
