Love these media personalities who have no idea about list management coming up with deals.....

That is one strong VFL side....

The other way to look at it is, if the mids put on good pressure up the field the Power will struggle to bring the ball to ground with May, Tommo, Lever and Smith all intercept marking.

They were all broken.....

Oh yeah that's what I meant, just think I explained it incorrectly. I meant the discount applied to the scaling points, not sure why you need it.

Yeah agreed. Not sure why there should be any scaling for father son and academies? You already have access to them, why also get it at a reduced cost than others would pay. Doesn't make sense.

Not being able to pick a player inside the top 40 is one of the more ridiculous drafting rules they brought in. I can kind of understand the top 20 to an extent, but there is just no incentive to put any time or effort into the players if you lose access to them.

It will be interesting to see how Weideman would go with Brown back and TMac out. He seemed to be playing more the deep forward role, which is what Brown usually plays more of. Not sure he will have the running power of TMac, so not sure how they will use him. I really want Weid to succeed, especially given the amount we gave for him. Just think he is a watch still.

I think that's some Dlanders over thinking everything..... Wouldn't make an ounce of difference to how he will perform.

Would love to know if his favourite moment from his career was the qualifying final win vs Carlton? I still remember his goal kicked off the deck in the last quarter to but us in front.... or maybe that was up by 9.

I think one of two things will happen. 1. They come out breathing fire and put on extreme pressure working for their first win, or 2. It is the final straw and they collapse in a heap and we win by 50-60. Obviously hoping for the latter.

100%. But we seem to do that in every 2nd quarter we play. Stop over possessing and get the ball moving forward.

I'm pretty fu**ing [censored] off after that. We have that much talent on the ground compared to them and are playing a weak brand of football. Really disappointing.

Goody getting experimental....I like it.

Ok. If you're saying that a close contact gets a PCR and if Negative can then go out I agree with that.

It doesn't matter if I do a PCR or RAT. The rules are the same, I have to do a 7 day ISO because my gf has it and we live together. My other point was Ben Brown having to pull out as a 'close contact'. I just think the rules now are pointless.

My point is we've now had probably 60-70% of Victorians having either had or been exposed to Covid now, so not sure what the point of the current rules is.

Everyone is just looking at the 7 goals last week, but don't acknowledge Weid played a lot of the game in the ruck and further up the ground. In my mind Mitch Brown will only play as a replacement for Fritsch.

It is quite ridiculous that even now after 3 different vaccines, we are still making people go into 'health and safety protocols' for being a close contact. Do your RAT and if you're negative then get on with it. My gf currently has Covid, I've had it months ago and also did a RAT this week and was negative. But under the rules can't go tonight :(

I have no doubt he will sign on for at least 2 years. After that who knows, but by that stage he could be so ingrained in the Dees culture and club he couldn't imagine leaving.

Based on current output, Trac will win with a total of 66 votes.

Anyone who follows Trac on Insta will see how much work he does away from the club on maintaining his body. Not too worried about him early in the week, I think al the work he does mid-week gets him primed for the games. Oliver is the same.

Covid restrictions will mean I can't get there :(

I don't think he will play this weekend, but one guy I was excited about from VFL footage is Laurie. He looked really zippy and skillful in the midfield. Could add a nice point of difference in our midfield in future and I think is a watch at this stage. Howes also looked great and I'm excited to see how he progresses and JVR will be taking over from TMac in now time.

Weid has a two year deal as well, so doubt he is going anywhere unless we trade him.
