All those going on about the Lions midfield being one of the best around, where was that midfield during the: 70 pt loss to WC and 90 pt loss to Geelong, and 80 pt loss to Port? they have 4-5 very good players, then a bunch of kids, no experienced fwds and very little depth in their worst 11 out of the 22. no excuses

Jesse hasn't joined full training yet has he? From that video yesterday he looked very tentative. My guess he won't get through training tomorrow fully and will be a late out. Maynard for Viney

Slap him with a trout! wake up man! and get a haircut while you're at it

Viney cannot be rested IMO. if he is injured then he shouldnt play but if he is 80% right and there is no chance of further damage then he should play. he sets the tone for us in preparation and attitude and we have much less chance of lacking intensity and blowing this chance

I hope Brisbane come out attacking and have a crack. I'm confident we can get over the top of them easily. The bottom teams we have struggled against has been dour defensive games.

no chance from what ive gleaned

I hear he writes in the 3rd person too!

You're not even trying to keep your anonymity bro!

haha I wish something about building relationships? no-one has told me what im really going for. typical corporate BS its 40oC plus and horribly polluted where im going so should be good! ill bring my asthma puff

I am Matty Febey Me and Stinga come on here a bit (all the time) Go Dees

have to go to China soon and work have suggested the first week in September [FFS!] current flights have me arriving back in Melb in Friday 8th - does anyone know (assuming of course we make finals which is not locked in yet) what the odds would be of the Dees playing on Thursday night? I know there was some talk of it earlier in the thread If I missed our first final in 11 years I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I could possible change it to the following week but you know... then I might miss the next final **cough** not jinxing it ***

PULL THE LEVER! get him dees. our list looks very balanced when you add him in

hasnt played any good consistent footy despite being gifted 100 games. at 25 yo I feel his bad behavours would be ingrained (lack of chasing/tackling/contested ball) BenKen was worth a punt as he was 21/22 when brought in

was almost as bad as the Hawkins one. A tap to the chest/neck! wtf is going on

Thank god we got him out of the backline! he is quite good on the HHF. can shut down and kick long. I would suggest he has only played ~7 games fwd so 17 goals is very good happy to eat humble pie, I was certainly not a fan of his recruitment. forgive me milkshake

looking increasingly likely that Buckley will coach on in 2018 which is great news for all other teams, esp us as we wont have to deal with farewell. De Geoy Greenwood Oxley Pendlebury Varcoe etc. all injured/in surgery. they have put the cue in the rack

Freo beat Tigers - could happen Sydney beat crows - could easily happen Suddenly we are a chance at playing the Tigers in week 1 of the finals!! 95K at the G. bring it on

95% in id say. WC on the same % so if the above happens and WC beat crows and we lose to pies we could still go out on %. that would be killer WC will be at home and the crows might not have anything to play for

and he is only a few votes of being 3rd in the coaches award dead set freak

"I had trout in my bag too" classic! no idea where we get this rep from http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/ned-trumble-has-encouraged-more-afl-fans-to-think-big-with-their-footy-food-choices/news-story/720b080a6bef22dff437216db23b6ce1

Still young, will be a quality midfielder in time. Has great skills so it's very strange his goal kicking is so bad. One-eyed jack could be forgiven for missing on the weekend. Id go after him hard. Although saints lack class so they'd be crazy to let him go

Didn't look like much in it but perhaps the vision isn't great. The ollie wines one was worse and he got off

Wines is as lucky as Melksham was. mrp lottery

he's been out for 6 weeks and is not a first 22 lock so I just assumed he would definately need to get some match fitness/form at casey

Loved Jonesys game. Saw him on TV in the rooms before the game and he looked so focused and fired up. I know he usually does but there was something about his body language. He wants finals so bad and imo he was the main reason for our great start to the match and why he was BOG on the day, just ahead of Pedo.
