  1. Dawes changes the whole dynanic of how we play. As long as he keeps doing the 1% he'll always be one of the few the first named. He brings more than people actually think, his teammates certainly walk a lot taller with him about which is a bonus with a young side
  2. Tom Mac definitely starts on Franklin as he has consistently kept him quiet when played on. Id have a double team play on/off him all night like Macdonald/Jetta. Tall to spoil and Jetta to help then run off him. Backs have to be smart and not have 6 players all go for the panic spoil. Smarts to know when to run off there man to help if Macdonald need and good communication with other backs. Somehow this might be easier said than done though we are getting better with this and probably shows how good our midfield is as they cover lot of ground helping(carry atm) out our defence.
  3. Its too bloody cold. It would have been a sell out if played at 2pm
  4. We will not be trading much if any for Prestia. If anyone has to be traded it'll be a player from previous era. We are legitimate club now and hold the power. Roos has rewarded almost everyone who has bought in and wont trade out any young players.
  5. Pffttt.. Nothing wrong with the way Byron played the game!
  6. Agreed mate, although the dash looks good it needs to be more consistent however that isnt a knock on the kid
  7. Michie is doing the role asked of him and will keep his place. Roos gives new players 2 games minimum to cement place and find consistency. We have good depth with B+ players next step 1or 2 Agraders and foundation is there
  8. Gotta love Big Gawn getting in the ear of Sauce after the siren, love to know what was said but i bet the boys love his aggression... i do!
  9. We came unstuck because the dogs sat back and let us get first touch on clearance then created too much pressure but we also helped them out by not being smart and fighting over the pill. They always had that extra hand to receive because our extra man was fighting over the extraction with a teammate. Once we get a little smarter/mature with how we play the diamond setplay wil be very, very good
  10. Because there simply isn't a spot for him atm. Someone has to come out. Sensational depth through here...
  11. Dunn will have to improve his disposal i think this is keeping him out. This is what they meant by turnovers further up the ground instead of close to goal and being scored against. We've lowered our eyes now and want to hit targets quickly within 20-30 metres even Tmac has improved his. Also think his brother plays b4 dunn for this reason aswell
  12. Talk about paranoia lol.... Lets just deal with a bit of common sense, firstly.. Footywriters like Crackers and Langdon unfortunate to themselves just arn't relevant anymore as they've had their time in the sun. They make/say these comments only to be noticed. They make up headlines(its their job unfortunately) with the knowledge its impossible to be called out on B.S. I honestly believe there's no story here as he's been instructed to just play footy and enjoy. Remember, this is a completely different club now , massive list turnover, drafted astutely with bucket loads of talent and very good trading. We are an Elite club now and Jesse will be or come close to being AFL highest paid player when resigns with the Dees.
  13. I'm not fazed what he reports about regardless of immorality. What does bother me is he looked like a child ed infant when he let 2 coaches on live TV, basically tell him whats what. Who the @!#/ is running 360?? How can Mark Robinson ever be relevant again after breaking the story then cowering, backing away from the facts he reports. NEWS FLASH...... Slobbo is an D grade actor/jurno impersonator who allowed himself to be challenged, pushed around and beaten on his OWN show. The only story to come out of this is he must now know he will never get into this boys club....All jurnos must be cringing watching him go to water other night.
  14. They both tried to gang up on Robbo who pulled on the skirt when he realized he might not get into the Big Boys Club. Apalling, weak, can i join the boys ,club jurno who let 2 coaches belittle him and couldn't stand byhis reporting even though he was doing the basics of a job.....Reporting
  15. Because we had a shizanhousen coaching collective until Roos arrived. Before this 3-4 different coaches i think. Finally have a great coaching staff who within 2 years have got Jack to where he should be. Is alot fitter and has added strength to his broad frame. In Roos 1st yr, JW was pushed off to easily then 2nd grad improvement to now, 2016 can finally launch himself and how far is only between his ears as body is off AFL STANDARD
  16. U just missed an awesome team goal via half dozen or so handballs. The Melbourne of old would've completely messed that up. Great team play, they surely believe in each other!
