Spargo definitely travelled with the team.

Is this game televised on channel 7?

Fwiw it's Goody's 150th game as coach for the Dees. Definitely deserves recognition regardless of how we have felt with his coaching of recent.

I know it won't happen, but I would love to see Goody just mix things up today. • Bowey to a half forward and give us some clean delivery amd poise going inside 50. • Midfield shake up. Get Brayshaw out of there and get Salem in a few starting centre bounce set up. The only one with poise and smarts around the field. Throw Kozzie in there just to give us a bit of speed and flair. • Harmes to tag. Again, won't happen, but we're better team when he's fully locking down on their best mid whether that's Kelly, Congilio, or Green. Compensate for not having Oliver there.

Thanks for the updates @Rod Grinter Riot Squad and @Bitter but optimistic. History and evidence alone this year will say we completely struggle in the wet and fail to adapt to wet weather football. Let's hope it eases up before the bounce.

Harmes hasn't properly tagged since 2019. It also correlates why Harmes hasn't been the same player since 2018 when he became one of the top taggers in the game. His form has since been on a slow decline. Not sure why some think that this will all of a sudden change.. Goodwin has been on record saying that he prefers to back our system and method in the midfield so that we're not solely not focused on one particular player, but more so on a collective group of midfielders.

Interesting that Doggies and Power had wins today coming off the bye..

No different to when we drew with a lowly Hawthorn back in 2021 right?

There's one..

Where the ones who said the club made a mistake getting rid of Weid??

That was unreal from the Howe kick out. Never in the world have we ever attempted what he just did.

I need to inject some @goodwindees into my veins.

Where is there mention of changing the father son rule??

I wouldn't. Bar the Hawthorn game he's been incredibly poor this year. Absolute joke he was brought straight back in front of an in form defender where for once this year our defence was looking first class. He can earn his spot back just like Bowey had to this week.

I think this is how the ins and outs will pan out. In: Tomlinson, Harmes, Bowey, Brown Out: Petty, Jordon, Hibberd, JVR Sub: Melksham

These changes are genuine LOL's

Tmac is cooked lol. Will be lucky to play at senior level this year. If we're still relying on him at back end of the year then put a line through us.

Their playing syle is copybook text straight from the Damien Hardwick game plan. Just remember McRea was an assistant coach to Dimma during the glory years. They won 3 premierships with the exact same game plan the McRea is implementing right now which far out weighs the vulnerabilities because right now they're still getting the results. They're well balanced on all three parts of the ground and they're about to get a fit DeGoey back and also Sidebottom which will further strengthen their team side come game day. Not sure how you can compare their current style to ours of 2018, i mean its not even close. You talk about a team with so many vulnerabilities and that was us back then. Our defence leaked so many simple goals and it got shown out big time against the eagles come prelim. We were also pretty inconsistent at time throughout that year. Went on a 6 game winning streak but then lost 3 in a row with one coming against the lowly saints. Not only that, we were close to missing the finals that year as well. Collingwood are no way near close to even missing top 4.

I did. He was good that game but not great imo. His form playing for the Academy this year has been really poor and even when he's gone back to SANFL level he hasn't been as productive as that recruiters were expecting especially with the huge wraps he had. His previous SA game prior to the Vic Country game was pretty poor as well. He just seems way too much of a Chad Wingard for me who's very inconsistent and goes missing for too long of periods of the quarter. There are players that in the draft that are speeding way past him in the pecking order. If he doesn't improve his form I wouldn't be surprised if he drops out of the top 20 order. Just on De Mattia, I tok am a big fan. Tough midfielder who's also got a bit of class about. Thought he was exceptional against SA. I also liked Billy Wilson off half back. Reminded me a bit of Hayden Young.

No. His form has been horrible this year.

No he [censored] wouldn't lol. The dude isn't even on an AFL list and that's purely because he's not that good at all.

Yes mate, the boy from Shepparton United. Whilst their is still water to go under the bridge with most kids during their 15's and 16's year level, Onley is a kid with serious talent. For his age he's already quiet tall for a midfielder (193cm). Previous to this year he was alternating between forward and back before they switched into the midfield where he absolutely dominated. Certainly one to keep and eye on.

Just for [censored] and giggles.

That speak more volume of Oscar then it does on West Coast.
