Didn’t realise Dave Misson was Head of Football at St Kilda – is that not out of his wheelhouse a little for a ‘fitness’ guy? (Happy to be corrected)

Judging on those highlights posted earlier in this thread he is exactly what we need. Hope he can translate those talents from VFL to AFL and with a full Demons pre-season ahead at age 23/24 (or whatever) he could be a huge acquisition with massive upside. Or not, who knows! It’s up to the Dees to bring it out of him

Dogs only win one more game from here

Go Trac, bring it home

Their whole club lacks any sort of class, humility or intelligence - pure scum.

What an amazing quarter. Tough, smart, pure football. Go Dees!

Essendon look terrible. (How did we lose to this rabble?)

Reckon Ollie Henry plays as a forward a lot like Tom Hawkins (albeit 20/30kg lighter) - might be the succession plan

Watching via Kayo and 50% of the ads within the breaks are Sportsbet ads. I’m literally paying to watch ads that are enticing me to gamble with them. (Also every game ‘preview’ on the AFL website every week - with Richo and Browny - are produced with a Multi bet factored in that helps sell in their tip for the game). AFL needs to be better than this.

Bogans would eat steak with tomato sauce

The potential for Reid to Melbourne comes up in West Coast's write up: Ideal draft prospects: If the Eagles hold Pick 1 and Harley Reid is genuinely happy to go anywhere in the country to start his AFL career, the Eagles have to take him. A versatile 185cm star Reid is considered a generational talent – one experienced recruiter told foxfooty.com.auearlier this year Reid was the best prospect they’d ever seen – and would be hard to pass up if there was a genuine chance you could get him. He’s drawn comparisons to Dustin Martin and plays with an infectious attitude, yet he can play across any line — and win games from any line — with his power at stoppages, overhead marking ability, penetrating kick and knack for hitting the scoreboard consistently. Regardless of Reid’s preference, the Eagles still face a significant call on whether to hold their first pick or trade it away to acquire multiple selections and help accelerate their rebuild. Multiple clubs suggested to foxfooty.com.au last week the Eagles would be prepared to slide down the order if they could ‘guarantee’ they could still draft Daniel Curtin – WA’s top prospect who West Coast has strong interest in, according to rival clubs. For example, a deal with Melbourne (who currently have Pick 4, via Fremantle, plus 15 and 23) could work. The fact there’s a decent WA-based crop in this year’s draft pool makes splitting Pick 1 a more enticing option for the Eagles.

Geelong are playing as a team and play to each other’s strengths. We’re simply not in-tune with each other.

Have we won a centre clearance yet? (Without turning it over at CHF)

We just have so many dumb footballers

Umpiring is disgusting!!!!!

Mmmm in Dangerfield's interview with Whateley a day or two ago on SEN you could literally hear Dangerfield suck up air before he answered every question. And Dangerfield himself said he has no idea how long he'll be out, said he wasn't even letting his kids jump all over him like usual given the pain/discomfort, etc – no chance he was playing this week.

Based on the broadcast and hearing from Luke Hodge (old team mate) - Mitch has played 100 games and been sacked by both teams so he gives the medal to the losing team when they play off.

Feels like a pre-season game

I like this idea

JVR will make it, delivery to him has been horrible and virtually non-existent

Our players are so unaware of opposition at round them it’s baffling

Why THE.FRICK are we losing it in the middle?!!????? Bloooooooody hell Melbourne. Playing the Reserves here, wake up

Sorry Kev! While the invitation from the club to attend training was a very welcome one it was quite ambiguous with very little detail other than what time to be there and that there'd be free coffee and a briefing from the higher-ups. It sounded like it could potentially be a more formal thing with only a few members given the 'invitation' aspect so I didn't even bring my kids (even though they're on school holidays) as I thought they wouldn't be allowed given they aren't 10 year members (literally had my membership card ready if they were going to check!). Maybe silly on my part as it turned out to be a very casual affair and essentially open to anyone who wanted to be there.
