Rather poke my eye out with an ice pick than consider Jasper Pittard a target.

you could probably use one of his elbow's if he did land at the dees..

i'd've love a jack higgins type.. he likely? imagine jack in our team providing pressure and enthusiasm. JAYZUS

At the very least, i like the sound of a " Peter Jackson Boardroom" or something like that.

If it gets up he deserves a permanent mention somewhere in the building.

orrr, the club could launch a new range of smokes? 'pj premiership edition'. all funds raised going to building toilets next to the new training ground so that the players no longer need to defecate in the long grass of gosch's. lol.

the terminus in clifton hill seems to attract a few dees.. also the great northern in carlton.

just in time for finals.. thanks dikflop (neeld n sheehan)

don't listen to the footy stuff on the radio (already being on here is enough and my girlfriend would leave me if i started blaring that [censored] in the car), but i do tune in to afl 360 on occassion and he seems ok. lots more way annoying commentators than him. he's at least intelligent.

The calmest player I have ever seen.

If I'm one of those players that answer doesn't cut it for me.

have you heard tom interviewed? he'll play anywhere the team needs him. we are fine to move forward with these three forwards. sam is still learning and as others have said, injuries and form issues can arise. they can look for other opportunities and we can be concerned about retention after our second or third flag. which other team would they want to play for? its clear that MFC has the best chance of all clubs to dominate the comp in the coming years. they should be lucky to be with us (just as we're lucky to have them).

Still flies under the radar for opposition supporters    They all know big Max   but no idea of Clayton Oliver.

Will be  No 1 in the league next year    Go Dees !!

my essendon 'mate' hates him. reckons he's super over-rated and just racks up the possies with rubbish handballs. says that his kicking leaves a lot to be desired. i just laugh. i've about given up sending him highlights packages of him. just keep asking him how parish is going. LOL.

love that jetta (in particular) is getting so much love.. so cool that anyone could say any current player now and it could be accepted and acknowledged as legitimate. bit different to a few years ago!

i'd go for Brayshaw. Love his passion and love for the Dees, on top of his obvious talent. He's great to listen to on the AFL Exchange podcast too. Loved attending a training sesh at Gosch's a few years ago and seeing him kick a banana from the boundary before falling back (opposite of face plant style) in the deciduous leaves that had gathered around him. Angus is mah boy! 

This topic seems oh so simple, but who do we like? As a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam, I was perusing DL and realised I hadn't seen such a topic. Basically, who's ya boy? Who's jumper number would you get on your back after a 2018 flag?

geez the players looking to move from their current clubs would be finding the dees game style pretty damn exciting! i reckon the recruitment team have a few surprises for us all over the next few months.. as we don't have much to trade with, it could centre around a 3 or 4-way complicated trade situation with lower picks for draft points, etc..

I said a couple of weeks a fanatical bulldogs mate of mine reckons they’re tanking for the no.4 draft pick. Certainly looks that way! However they have had a few crucial injuries since the Cats game also

we need a headshake emoji.. NO WAY this is happening. 

just did the ladder predictor for the last four rounds...after a few glasses of talisker single malt. GREAT NEWS! we won't lose a game for the rest of the year *insert excitement emoji* i also found that i cannot tip against richmond and essendon seem to have momentum with them at the moment.. my ladder has richmond taking first spot by 3 games and essendon winning but still missing finals on percentage ([censored] me i would crack up if that happened).

Is it too much to expect a win to WCE and upsets in the other two games today? 

ha, maybe.. but its fair to say that we're all hoping for that to happen.

big game from this kid.. [censored] tat's, but such a hard, passionate player. definitely rather him in our midfield than someone else's.. lots of upside!

Rest: Hogan

In: Weid or Bull, both been good at VFL level, don’t think Pedo has he’s been playing as a defender the last 4 weeks

Id want Keilty to play too but it ain’t gonna happen

hogan definitely needs a rest. and maybe petracca too, but less so?.. fingers crossed trac's shoulder is ok. next cabs off the rank should be tim smith to play petracca's role and i'd be happy with either sammy or pedo to replace hoges. i am pretty sure pedo won't have forgotten how to clunk those forward 50 marks ? 

much more physical tonight. playing his role well. miss his laser kicks to leading forward from a few years ago though! if he can get those back, i'm sure he'll get a contract for another 2 years..

i weirdly have a good feeling about this game, despite our worst qtr this year.. i reckon we'll get the win in a canter. #insane #delirious

Just finished watching The Toiges and the other mob. Nearly 3/4 of the Toiges are " irrecognisables". Yet they play really well as a team. This reinforces (to me) that sometimes we are banging our heads and hopes against the wall in thinking throwing the Southern Stand for someone to come in and save us. Apart from our Senior citizens every player on our list has an upside 10 % or even 5% improvement in the ability to run both ways AND TO SEE THE NEED FOR IT would mean we would need a massive amount of flag poles to put all the flags. Look at the improvement of Harmes, ANB, Fritsch (1st yr),Spargo .JKH,SMith and Smith  The upside of Hunt Stretch, Pretty,Baker, Balic,Hannan, Weidemann,McKenna  and others unknown .

The nucleus of our list is top quality. We just need the link men .

Most important recruit would be a running coach or Strength & Cond person . Less money than a player and we keep our keepers, not shove themout the door because of Salary cap pressures.

notice how most of the tigers players can consistently kick to their team mate's advantage to? makes a MASSIVE difference. our players don't seem smart enough to do it?..

big and slow - not made for modern football

the new netball rules coming in next year may help the likes of him, but you don't need 'gorilla defenders' in modern footy with the way zoning defence works...or in our case, doesn't

you don't think one would be handy for when we play the likes of hawkins, ben brown, mason cox? ha.. ok.

[censored] hell.. i hate essendon so damn much. their supporters are so disgusting. way worse than the pies in my opinion. i hate to see them win and their fans happy. but.. it helps the dees.

Fascinating. I wonder if it's a comparable situation to Schache for the Dogs second round pick. Or in our case as they don't need picks, for a comparable player like Tyson

carlton wouldn't get rid of weitering.. he's gonna be a pillar and leader of their team one day. but, in saying that, i would trade tyson for him every day of the week. win-win for both clubs.

He's new to the role. He'll make a great captain in time IMO.

just to be clear, i have no doubt viney is passionate and will be a star of the comp once fit, i just feel that brayshaw would be better suited to the position and i like him better personally. each to their own. we're lucky we have both!
