What do you even mean ? Disco is still a light bodied forward ..makes no sense to have 2 of them hence AJ in got that physicality. We also don’t want JVR throwing his body around too much just yet …I def don’t want Oscar Allen & his knees …

I love this . This is the time to play our young stars ..showcase our talent. It’s the first round (for us) they’ll be fit and hungry. A win is always important but I’m really keen to see how they stack up against a good team . Remember GWS are also playing young players due to suspension & injury. AJ to add physicality in our forward line & back up ruck ..Henderson a mature small forward (desperately needed) Langford mid/forward & Lindsay sub would be my thinking. I’m excited..Go Dees

A bit like goalkicking at training ..never miss. Come Match Day …🤷🏼‍♀️

Also ..I don’t like Richmond but compare the celebrations of their young players compared to Hawthorn.. I automatically loathed Hawks more because of the arrogance & the “me me” celebrations.

There you go …after a praccy match ..pundits were saying Pies top 4 .. Tigers won’t win a game. We all get sucked in by media on everything .., tonight is a perfect example of not listening to external voices .. just judge your own club

Win or lose ..Richmond is the winner .

I love the Deebrief ..in fact along with the Demonland podcast I think as supporters we are very lucky…

Gawn alluded to that ..said you become The Target ..& Kingsley has stated that they play with violence & sometimes cross the line …

It’s a praccy match. We would have trialled players in diff positions…diff game play scenarios anticipating maybe players going down mid match or responding to another teams play at the time. We def wouldn’t be showing the AFL exactly what we intend to do. It was also 35deg & very windy so let’s not get too in depth about it…

He had a back spasm so not through a game incident. Could get that playing anywhere & it’s happened before . Made a massive difference in how we had to restructure & we effectively played with 1 player short in very trying conditions..

Would never say after what GW cops but it’s pretty accurate (let’s see) Culley 4..Mentha a couple & Jeffo at least 1 ?

Fullarton kicked 6..?

Found it quite reassuring to hear Tom Hawkins say it took him 5 years to find his feet . He would have been a bigger sized player earlier but still took him 5 years …

“I said you will be in the hall of fame, and you are not going anywhere, and that is OK. “And he said back, ‘I love you, Greeny’, and that was it. He was happy.”

Brad rang him asked him “What was going on “ (I’m paraphrasing here). Told Clarry he was going to get up at B&F and make a statement that the 2025 midfield would be Gawn Trac Oliver & Viney. Clarry said don’t it’s not about me tonight but the players who are winning awards. Brad said no it’s not about you but about the members ..supporters who need to know this . He said I love you ..we love you etc etc ..Clarrie was emotional and signed off with “I love you Greenie “.

There’s been heaps of support on different radio shows with Melbourne’s stand. The general consensus is the players “have too much power “.

We had a terrible 2024 preseason ..so many players were either injured or sustained injuries & possibly made the team because we didn’t have a lot of choice . 2025 most players have done 80..% of the running .. late season ending injuries to McAdam & AMW ( depth players ) but no best 22 injuries that will impact their preseason

His treatment and delisting ripped the heart out of our club for a long time …

Loved the comment “ it’s no use putting your footy boots on until you learn to speak to each other “.

I sat next to Jeffo’s Mum & Aunty yesterday . His Dad was up close & personal with his camera following his son. Really lovely people ..nervous ..proud..excited. I loathe these types of comments ..where you write off young players so early in their careers. In conditions not favouring tall forwards he def showed some promising signs. I’ll also bookmark your comments,

It was an incredibly tough day for tall forwards ..actually talls in general. Jefferson was def not disgraced & so premature to make that comment … It was ok sitting under the trees but without that protection the sun & wind was brutal. What stood out for me was Melb’s fitness levels. We were still running and putting on pressure right till the end.

These 1000’s of AFL hopefuls trying to get on an AFL list. Players from all over Aust ..even overseas. There will be plenty of players that don’t get picked up for a variety of reasons just as there’s plenty who get picked up & for a variety of reasons don’t make it. Jack has an opportunity albeit through the misfortune of Shane & hopefully he does well. I think he’s lucky he’s come into a team with a pretty good list in the Premiership window ..he’s got his chance & good on him. I hope he does well ..to make us better & to fulfil his dreams.

Is the match def at 10am .?

Oh the sheer arrogance…

Bobby Hill is now the news as he has “parked” his contract with reports that he is keen to get back to WA. His contract which is not a big $ one finishes in 2026. Let’s see how the media covers this one …
