DEFINITELY! maybe

I recently attended an event where Trent Rivers spoke and I’ve got to say he was outstandingly eloquent and extremely personable for such a young man. i can see him following in the footsteps of Angus in the near future, with captain material in obvious abundance, and a source of pride for all true Dees’ supporters.

Yes, an impressive human being, and a profound loss to the club and football if he can’t bring himself to be involved again

When I started High School there was a ‘compulsory’ donation attached to the school fees that was directed to the building of a school hall/ theatre . 6 years later, the hall was opened, and I completed my matriculation ( HSC) just in time to never be able to take advantage of the new facility🤦‍♂️ With today’s news I’m replacing ending school with living long enough . 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

So you think he’s a chance?!?!

I’m certainly not necessarily supporting the President’s handling of the interview, but the last time I looked she wasn’t responsible for the deplorable goal kicking this year, and if some players, including Trac. had better accuracy she may not have to be defending the culture at the club

As Dee’s’ supporters we’ve learned to expect the worst

May - injuries curtailed effectiveness vanRooyen - limited growth unfortunately Salem - a downward spiral McVee - a shining light Petracca - injury defined club Windsor - cause for optimism Viney - extension wasn’t justified Lever - performance regularly hindered Spargo - injury destroyed season Brayshaw - career was destroyed Gawn - was rarely outplayed Hunter - just a shadow Oliver - at the crossroads Billings - recruitment wasn’t justified Langdon - maintained elite levels Laurie - showed little endeavour Bowey - merely marking time Melksham - only limited opportunities Schache - an inglorious year Tomlinson - performed as expected Howes - rarely showed out McAdam - another recruitment fail Rivers - a successful reinvention McDonald - a pleasing renaissance Hore - far from convincing Neal-Bullen - will be missed Fritsch - generally a disappointment Sparrow - progress was stymied Petty - persevered with inexplicably Pickett - disappointingly infrequently influential Chandler - tried but limited Brown - deserved more opportunities Tholstup - rough but promising Woewodin - rarely stood out Turner - some impressive moments Monitz-Wakefield - possibly unfairly maligned Brown - cruelled by injury

Too many incompetents

Yes, but his best mate Angus is sadly not playing 😢

Look out for a very handsome young boy running out with the team on Friday night … it’s my grandson Asher💪

Father was a Dees’ fan until moving to the Bulldogs as club doctor

Yep, obviously wants out

Gawn - true Demon heart Tholstrup - poor situational awareness McDonald - continued late renaissance Viney - amazing leaders game Turner - cause for optimism Petty - provided regular contests Rivers - useful, not outstanding vanRooyen - some impressive moments Neal-Bullen - great second efforts Bowey - kicking skills diminished Langdon - indefatigable running prowess Chandler - useful forward connector Tomlinson - steady and reliable Lever - far from convincing Fritsch - a leisurely frolic Howes - showing some promise Hore - looked at home Salem - defender of old Pickett - unsighted until last Melksham - some impressive touches Billings - just a plodder Sparrow - little before injury McVee - surprisingly rarely involved

Gawn - All Australian performance Viney - great first half Pickett - always looked likely Neal-Bullen - impressive connection game Billings - many wasted possessions Salem - impressive first half Langdon - needed more involvement Petty - had some moments Sparrow - not a tagger McVee - rarely showed out McDonald - held opponent well Chandler - was rarely dangerous Lever - just a shadow Tomlinson - effective not showy Hore - some inexplicable errors Oliver - lazy and inefficient Turner -?had little impact Fritsch - a wasted talent Howes - held dangerous opponent Tholstrup - regularly lacked awareness Rivers - a disappointing performance vanRooyen - couldn’t get involved Melksham - couldn’t influence game

It has spoken🙄

You still haven’t bothered responding to my request

Ok so you’re at it again taking pot shots at me. Let’s see your 3 word responses and show how many positives YOU can come up with. On reflection, and upon watching a replay the only ‘knee jerk reaction’ ( your words ) I regret were for Langdon who was ‘actually steady throughout’

Gawn - busted his guts Viney - had no impact Rivers - played with heart Sparrow - tagging failed miserably Bowey - has lost momentum Langdon - gave limited drive Fritsch - some impressive moments Van Rooyen - was rarely involved Neal Bullen - season worst game Tholstrup - out of depth Chandler - small man syndrome McDonald- frustrated and frustrating Pickett - has tuned out Oliver - was embarrassingly incompetent Lever - showed no leadership Howes - not a backman Woewodin - little to commend Turner- little to admire Melksham - age has wearied McVee - rarely found space Petty - was uninvolved again May - hopefully back soon Moniz - Wakefield - regularly amateurish disposal

I withdraw my theory .. the umpiring is as insipid as ever

It’s in the AFL’s interest for the Bulldogs to lose this week to open up the eight for a number of teams and subsequently increase revenue. it’s interesting that 2 of the most senior and experienced umpires will be officiating… just sayin’ If we’re finally given a good run by the umpires, you heard the theory here first if we win

Understatement

Many useless performances

Viney - take first options May - important but loose Lever - set no standard Bowey - another nothing game Langdon - gave a damn Rivers - reduced to average Salem - slow decision making Neal-Bullen - had negligible influence Petty - overwhelmed not disgraced vanRooyen - overwhelmed and limited Moniz-Wakefield - out of depth McVee - loose and disappointing McDonald - try him forward Windsor - showed some heart Sparrow - was he playing? Turner - little to commend Fritsch - a nothing game Chandler - needed more involvement Oliver - everything was painstaking Tholstrup - little spatial awareness Pickett - not on field Melksham - no forward pressure Billings - some innocuous touches umpires - on Dockers payroll

Just as a matter of interest, Clarrie is definitely looking ‘chunkier’ than last year… is it muscle or fat?
