Great report Powell. How was young Kobe Farmer and Deakyn Smith.

Can someone give a summary of the article please?

Did Davey get to 200 games did he?

My view on the leadership is this, Gawns year as a captain in my opinion was poor. But I think he needs another full year because he would have reflected and right now be working on things he can get better as a leader. Gawn unfortunately is too soft and not ruthless enough with his teammates. He wants to be everyone's mate, and I totally get that because that's his nature. But he needs to find that fine balance of separating that into being more demanding and ruthless with his teammates. I look at some of the best teams that have had great success in Brisbane, Hawthorn, Richmond. Hodge, Voss, Cotchin and even Nick Maxwell, are the four who just demand high quality standards through being ruthless as a leader. Its no coincidence the culture and standards they set resulted in sustained success. This is why I think Gawn needs another year. I look at Cotchin and laughed when he first got named captain, but he grew into his role over time and became high demanding leader who also found the balance of being the good guy but also demanding excellence on field. The one guy who fits all of that bill right now in my opinion is Steven May. You only have to go back to his post match interview the port Adelaide game to watch how much he was seething after that performance. He gets its, and the players respect him. He demands absolutely 120% from his teammates and he's not afraid to give it to them if they are not performing at a standard that they should be. Give Gawn one more year perhaps. But if I wanted a leader right now next to me in the trenches its Steven May then daylight. Oh and less gags on a podcast thanks Gawny and more focus in getting the standards right, we are highly impatient supporters who want to see sustained finals success.

I'd have May co-captain alongside Gawn.

I have just seen this. This one hits a raw nerve.. I am deeply saddened to head Mark has sadly passed away. When he told us of the terrible news that his wife had passed away i PM'd him and told him I was here for a chat if need and was thinking of his children who had just sadly lost their mother. I am now utterly devastated for his kids that they have now lost not only their father, but a beautiful soul. We got talking footy around the period and his biggest wish was to see the Dees back playing finals and hopefully winning a flag in his time. I engaged again a while back when he posted about his health battle and you wouldn't have picked it due to his positivity and just happy that he was still able to spend quality time with his kids. I just seen that he was only logged into demonland last Friday. To @Hell Bent I am deeply sorry for your loss as his close mate. To his family and close friends if they are reading this, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. To Mark, RIP old mate. It was an absolute pleasure that I was able to connect with you even if we never met. Time to be reunited with your darling wife.

I too have heard this similar description about Kobe.

Thanks Pit. What about when the footys are out? How does he go in that aspect.

Great reporting guys. I'd like to hear thoughts on Kobi Farmer. Is he a possible chance for a spot on the list just by watching his training standards?

Wasn't this one of the big reason we brought in Gary Pert back in 2018?

Wasn't aware of this at all.

He's been doing it for years so i don't have sympathy for him. Its disgusting behaviour especially some of the content that he was displaying. Glad he's been finally caught. Lesson for young footballers all around the country, you're not invincible.

Yeah I'm keen to see some evidence. He's had a lot more wrong then right imo. But happy to be proven wrong if he has hard solid facts.

Two more girls have now come out and said they've received inappropriate picture from him. There seems to be a Patton going on here. Thank you very much..

Jesus 58 a little research wouldn't hurt.

I'm in the boat and have voiced this quite strongly that I would only want him on the list if he's got the talent to contribute strongly in the future and not based on name. The fact some on here want him on the list purely on name shows exactly where the mentality we are as supporters and that's accepting mediocrity far too easily. In your time of watching him @Pennant St Dee what are the things he needs to work on from your point of view?

Not aimed at you at all @old dee. In regards to an earlier post.

We all knew it was Goodwin all along. Stating that he's been unfaithful is plain stupid on the base of no facts or evidence.

Stupid comment to suggest this is the case with the unknown 3rd coach.

Lol Andrew McGrath? You do realise Salem was a good few years older then McGrath.. Andrew McGrath is going to play absolute 0% in whether Salem goes to the bombers or not, 0. No link whatsoever except that they went to the same school.

Big lad.

Can have 30k at a boxing day test but can't have several spectators at a standard footy training session... On ya Dan..

Lol probably not mate but get use to it, its the world of social media. Daily Mail having an absolute day out on this story using bigfooty as their source of information. Now that's funny.

I've played Assassins Creed.. that's a good game.

Mate not one even said that at all. You're making up lies now.
