13 minutes ago, GS_1905 said: I am starting to see this translate on field. The number of passes Kozzy and Trelly do by foot is astronomically more than previous seasons. It comes off a fair bit of the time as well.
On the contrary, I thought Kozzy missed a disturbingly high number of targets on the weekend

33 minutes ago, Ghostwriter said: Essendon fans turned out in force and they were on a 17-game losing streak, AND they travelled to Adelaide. Carlton fans, Richmond fans, they all turn up. Yes they have bigger fanbases but this is more of a reason for our fans to turn up to every match regardless of ladder position or recent results.
If I had a dollar for every time one of our players says they love hearing us fans I’d be a rich b!ttch.
It matters to them.
I love your work Ghosty but I have a serious question:
Who needs whom more to ‘show up’, the supporters or the players?
The players are paid extravagantly for playing a game, the supporters buy pies and hope for a happy ending

I agree about the replacing idea but no idea how anyone can know if he’s developing nicely .. sample size is almost non existent

Selection this week will be a real eye opener.
Will King be ruthless in a way that Goodwin rarely was, much to the supporters’ chagrin?
Will he hold firm on most of those that all supporters think have exhausted their use by date?
What message will it send to those who are retained , and those that are dropped , bearing in mind that there’s probably around 7 players we all have expectations of being demoted because of inappropriate form/performance ?
Salem, Mihocek, JVR, LP, TMac, Culley and Windsor must all be seriously considered for demotion… but does the coach bite the bullet now, or keep selecting the ‘nice guys’ to avoid the ripple effect?

Other point should be is where did Van Rooyen go after and 1 .
Must of already hit performance base in this year's contract
JVR has been MIA since it was revealed he has a mindfulness coach🤦♂️

An injured Bowey would be so much more valuable than Salem.

Just now, joeboy said: No, not spooky, but if you can lip read there’s pretty easily discernible coarse language and gestures… totally off the radar.
It’s not something you generally encounter from our supporters … I was so proud😛
Plus we’d just kicked a goal, which made the scene even more bizarre

So speaking of cheer squads, I was watching a replay of the GC game ( for the 6th time) and I was bemused by the antics of a young female who was seated amongst the Dees’ supporters and whose antics after Langford’s last quarter goal was to say the least , was quite a performance.
Have a look in the top right hand corner of the screen after the goal is signalled and see what you think

17 minutes ago, picket fence said: Um Petty has been good but Jeffoo and Kentfield offer so much more
Yes they do! Should have traded him when we had the chance!
That’s a different argument, and no they don’t

Just as 2 asides, Adams was incredibly listed amongst Casey’s best in this morning’s HS, whilst Billings kicked 5 goals for Footscray’s VFL side 😳

Steele - best recruit ever
Sparrow - career best game
K Pickett - prolific without dominating

Turner - great after first
Lindsay - regularly disposed impressively
Langford - needed more involvement
L Pickett - some important possessions
Mihocek - limited but valuable
Culley - same as Mihocek
Petty - in right places

Kentfield has all the ingredients to be a significant player for the Dees.
He’s strong, tough, versatile and can kick straight. I personally believe that given time he’s an upgrade on JVR because he seeks out physical contact and has the body size to cope, along with an excellent temperament for such a young man

Adams showing why he’s a mile from being considered for senior selection… his opponent has 4 for the quarter
