  1. This is what I don’t get! Every player within our team is a good enough field kick to place it within 1-2m of their intended target at a distance of roughly 40m, but when faced with the ‘goal’ they see the face of the goals as the target and accordingly they get it outside of that by 1-2m. It’s all coaching and practice, simply need to grab a bloody designated player and put him in the middle of the goals to kick to - just kick it over his head!

    Brilliant game of footy down in Geelong. So clean from both teams. Would love to get Riccardi out of GWS, playing a great game.
  3. Umpiring just makes this game so frustrating to watch let alone actually enjoy

    They’re poor because large parts of the ground are in shade most of the time (during footy season). Gosch’s paddock, as an example, is a beautiful deck and receives the elements all year round - plus all types of neighboring civilians using it year round.

    Can’t believe we lost to both these teams. (But then I can totally believe we actually lost to both these teams)

    I thought it was a really good interview. Certainly spoke very well and handled himself perfectly. He tried as best as he could to keep things light with both Tim and Gaz pressing him on what he was going to do first and you could tell they were wanting to press the 'Caulfield' queries as much as possible. Finally Gaz came out and asked "What is happening with Caulfield? What do you know?" Paul answered straight away "I know as much as you at this point Gaz". Then said he was looking forward to getting into the details and would be meeting people properly in the coming days. Seems weird that the club has let him do all this media and yet they haven't briefed him on anything yet. To me it looks like this has all come out earlier than expected and the club has just had to run with it. Lucky he's handling himself well I think.
  7. Heard on radio he was having concussion assessment
  8. Got 2 x Free tickets if anyone is keen, please DM me and I’ll send via text. Centre wing Medallion Club (basically just AFL Reserve I believe). Go Dees!

    Not really sure why there is buzz around LDU from North, maybe had a bad game but I only watched a little and the 4 or 5 instances where he was involved he made a meal of each one. Just looked selfish, but maybe that’s as a result of the losses stacking up and forcing you to think you have to do it yourself.
  10. If all was truly well and happy I dare say we’d still be in the game in most last quarters and be pushing to close down any 3 qtr margins, as I feel that’s what we did in 2021 when behind (will need to check that). Same as Collingwood did in their premiership year. It’s pretty clear that after the players have been pumping the ball inside 50 all day and generally equaling our opponents in that stat, they see the writing on the wall and say ‘what’s the point’ - it’s been this way for 2.5 seasons (if not longer) and the dam wall has broken. It seems inevitable when in this position to know that the other team will score easily against our constant ‘banging our head against the wall’. Most Dees fans have had enough so can we really blame the players?!

    Where’s Jeremy Cameron? So weird, thought he wasn’t even playing
  12. Essendon will get a good pick out of us come the end of the year.

    Who the hell is favorite if he’s at $15? (And what value is the watermelon?)
