I'd prefer to target a fwd who can ruck. In the Tippett mould. Gawn, spence and kings are enough pure ruck depth imo

I wish I had your confidence, but I can sense a win for North coming. not sure why but North are due and will be fired up and its down in Tassie. what a let down that would be

Can't remember enjoying an away game more - standing on the hill with the ferals - the stuff getting yelled out was actually quite funny at times there was a decent turn out by Dees fans - and the Port fans went quiet by 15 minutes in as you could sense how the game would go. The Casino was pumping with delerious Dees fans after the match. the last thing I remember is a dude in a Dees scarf getting kicked out of the palace for falling asleep/passing out on a chair

its great that these 3 have come on but we still desperately need some more experience and leadership down back. Dunn and Garland not being considered anymore. If we get an injury or two to the Macs or Frost we are in trouble. Hurley can also play key fwd when needed which could be handy

yeah it was a late strike to the head. soft sniping effort. he'll miss a week or maybe 2

agree to disagree. those guys didnt star but weren't lacking effort. Pedos presence and contest in the air was good - its important to have a big, seasoned body in the fwd line. Harmes and VDB played their role and have some runs on the board as far as their application to the contest goes. VDB 6 tackles, 5 score involvement, 2 assists did okay IMO and Harmes was good last week.

We just beat Port away by 40. we had no passengers or poor players and everyone played their role. Unless there is a star player out of the side, or someone gets injured, no change so no change

He'll be off to freo. Pedo is a better player

5th for Clangers and 11th for dispoal effeciency. probably not too much of a surprise there on the positive side we are 3rd for goal kicking accuracy im just on the AFL website, not bad but not great either

we really did a number on that draft. almost like we picked poor players on purpose What could have been.....

Random stats for the week - wasn't sure where to post this: We are 4th overall for average contested possessions (150) this year in the AFL - behind Sydney, Crows and GWS 3rd overall for clearances behind Sydney and GWS 5th overall for average tackles No 1 for average hit outs (Obvs) Great efforts by the coaches and players. What a turnaround its been since 2013

Surely Hogan would sign for longer than 2 years unless the media attention really does not bother him. it started 2 years out this time, might start 3 years out next time which would be at the end of next year! sign on for 4 yrs plus Jesse!

I think we might lose this one. Port are rightly favourites being at home and having beaten us regularly. both teams and up and down and I think Port will be up and we'll be down. hope I'm wrong as Im flying over tomorrow prove me wrong Dees!

Agree Fidgey, they need to get creative that Little Hunt? J-Hun? okay maybe Hunty will do

Fyfe would be good depth for our midfield. im not agianst it

Viney should win it. he has been so consistent and Gawny had a quiet patch. Gawn will be second then Jonesy. then a fair gap great to have 4-5 worthy winners for once!

are people actually debating whether to bring in Hogan if fit? seriously he is our top goal scored and one of the first picked. He is in if fit. just need to figure out who to drop I would drop Weeds as he was fully knackered in the fourth. bring him back in for the blues

I'll see you there mate. ill be the other guy with a Dees scarf on standing on the hill hope we make it out of there alive!

The most pleasing thing from the win was how hard and tough we were. Mitchell I reckon was targeted - every time he went near it he was tackled and then crunched. we finally have confidence! fend off against hodge? a double fend off? We tackled like animals, in packs, led by Viney. I have never been prouder of the Dees. The Hawks resorted to sniper and cheap hits to try to intimidate us, which would have worked in the past.

I know he made some mistakes but he played a high risk high / high reward game. he broke the lines a few times and set up a goal or two. the players taking risks was the reason we won so I would certainly be keeping him in

was a fair bump. didnt get him in the head it was all the ducking by Cyril and the spear tackling that was disgraceful

The Weed came in for Hoges and should make way IMO. I was very impressed with Pedo - marking, bringing the ball to ground and general competiveness. We have a better chance of winning with Pedo and Hogan playing The only other change to consider would be Kennedy for Garlett

thanks GNF for the info. must be just petty jealously that brings out the nasty, pathetic remarks. Now idea why people cant just take your info for what it is and move on. hope you keep posting

Without doubt our best win in the past decade

good god. 7 years and 150 games!! will be so hard for us to even compete when you look at that. you can get away with some inexperience in the fwd half or even in the middle but not at the back. The hawks will smash us once it gets inside 50 it takes years to learn positional play, using your body, when to leave your man etc as a backman
