Can we talk about Kolt?
Anything related to management is not what I was responding to.

Can we talk about Kolt?
Barely a player on our list that hasn’t been written of by Demonland in their first few years- including players who have left the club and are player regular football elsewhere. ANB was a liability. Beford was not a ball winner. Jordon had no weapons. Don’t get me started on the impatience with Gawn, McDonald, Brayshaw, or the huge error of drafting Kossie over Weightman. Gameday thread in Petracc’s first game referred to him a a one speed ‘plodder’. Most kids take time; few burst out of the blocks and sustain it. Some will make it and some won’t, but two thirds of the way through their second year, following a massive injury lay off is too early to make a statement one way or the other. Of our many issues, Kolt ain’t one of them.

Jake Lever
Like Salem, struggles to return from injury. Was in excellent form last year, prior to injury; struggled on return.

The Luke Beveridge Thread
I don’t immediately like this idea. Has proven to make some odd, emotional decisions in the past when their team isn’t performing. In a similar vein to Goodwin, aside from his flag season, not sure he’s got the best out of the lists that he’s had.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I'd agree. I'm advocating for 'shopping them around', rather looking for a silver lining if they were to insist on a move. I'm glad we held Petracca and Oliver to their contracts, but if it comes around again, and the offer is equitable I'd say take it.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
If Petracca and Kossie were to leave and we were to get close to their value in draft picks, the rebuild is pretty close to done. Add three more Top 10 picks to our 24 and unders and you've got a decent core of youth.

Time to go Goody?
The players have spoken. Something is rotten in the club.

GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
Historically, the Dees thrive when expectations are low and, well… expectations are low. Melbourne by 25.

The AFL are treating us with contempt
Our 2021 fixture was bog-ordinary but I had a great time!
- GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Value Of Practice Matches
Practice matches for us have an added importance this year with GWS already playing in 'Opening Round'. They would already have had an intense game to build match fitness and practice their gameplan against genuine opposition. I think we ran over the top of the Bulldogs in R1 2024 due to already having an Opening Round match under our belts.

Team of the Century (so far)
If I disregard the 90s and only considered performances this century, my team would look something like this… Jetta May Frawley Brayshaw Lever Salem Bruce Oliver Yze Petracca Hogan Pickett Davey Neitz Fritsch Gawn Viney Woewodin Int: J.McDonald Jones Robertson Green Sub: Hibberd T.McDonald, Langdon, Johnstone, White, J.Rivers, Vince and Whelan all unlucky.

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
This is impossible - he was traded to Port Adelaide two years ago!

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 9th December 2024
You can only be ruled ineligible if you commit the offense in a home and away match from that season. Basically, only matches that count toward that Brownlow. You can be suspended in Finals and preseason matches and still be eligible for the Brownlow.

Draft Behind The Scenes - First 15 Hours as a Draftee
Great content! But it’s now clear, as someone who doesn’t like being touched, I never would have made it in the AFL.
