Mt. Dee-Maaan

6 ROOOOOOO (mah boyyyyy)!!!!!!

5 Max (loved his tapwork today!!!)

4 Culley (great job keeping Saints defenders accountable - such a hard body and that leap and hands are soooo goood)

3 Windsor (run and carry, took lots of ground, great connection with the inside mid's)

2 Kozzy (lost a few points for being a tad selfish at times.. still insane talent)

1 Sharp (for that moment in the last)

Honourable Mentions: Disco, Petty, Miochek, Steele Salem.

Koltyn went ok in the end, but had a slow start.. Liked that he got more creative in the second half. He tried hard. Reckon the new gameplan will suit him. Not sure that I can see this athleticism that King and a few others have spoken about?..

Langford, Langdon, Rivers, Lindsay and Sparrow need to lift. Still veryyyy early days, so not too bad, but Langford appeared to be jogging a lot and showed very little urgency in attack or defence.
Not sure who to drop to bring in Moose. Would still like T-Mac in, but can see that they wanna get games into Howes, and CJ. T-Mac might slow us down a bit too much.

What a legend. Such a good citizen. Every club needs someone like Jack. Be cool to see him and Viney get going together. Still got a few years in his legs I reckon!

That's weird. Two of my comments were combined - first para was supposed to be against in response to your comment that 2 of your posts had disappeared.

Wasn't funny so didn't post.

Second was a reply to Brownie.

But on new music ive been loving cali band upchuck (think combo of the minutemen, early chilli peppers, circle jerks and black flag - would not look out of place in the film repo man).

And also loving Chicag/new york ban Water from your eyes. Not sure of a comparison but they remind me, more sensibility wise than sound, of erudite late 70s new wave bands like Talking Heads.

The Gnomes are a young Frankston band playing early sixties, Beatles style power pop. Great fun.

All three are playing at Golden Plains on Labor day weekend so probably playing gigs in Melbourne.

LOVE Water from Your Eyes.. Life Signs is a great track (and has a sick filmclip).. RMFC are touring atm and they are a great punk band outta Sydney. also been listening to a bit of 80s Arthur Russell past few days.

glad we have him on the list, but as BDA said, a risk of being suspended most games (which is fine i guess, but does impact the consistency of our forward line dynamic). if he, and someone like Heath, can take turns (not play in the same team) providing a forward half chop-out at times for Gawn, and then take a key defender, without getting in the way of our other more skilled forwards, then AJ will earn his spot. bonus points if he takes out a few of those Pies..

Hoffman is both a good human and a natural leader. He also communicates well. Good get.

pretty poor that the guys don't have access to a toilet nearby.. which begs the question, what do our girls do? it shouldn't be the way. not a big deal if they were playing out in the sticks, but they are a professional club playing on a major arterial road with fans watching.. not good enough :-/

...so long as he's not the Alpha in the group and the others head west to join him?

nahhhh, doesn't strike me as THAT guy.. seems like a lovely kid really.

as much as i believe that our forward problem has mainly been due to delivery by our mids/wingers and coaching style (surely!), i think that this led to our forward not leading correctly and also getting in each others way. a strong forward coach would have stamped that [censored] out from day one, but it somehow persisted in a professional setting.. fingers crossed something changes. i am hopeful as a hell of a lot will have changed since mid-2025.

some foot skills/speed if possible

Byrnes highlights look waaaaay better than Dovaston's.. He looks like his skills could translate to AFL.

watching from northern nsw last weekend i was super proud of the girls - especially that last quarter! love mick stinnear's passion and how close he is with them. great team. good range of skills and personalities!

the sniffers' drummer has also performed in a footscray guernsey fwiw

they're very much sons and daughters of the west

not quite

early days still, but King's energy is good stuff. love how he communicates. some humour, approachability, but also clearly demands respect. look forward to seeing him hopefully hand out the new guernseys on wednesday night to our new young fellas.

All White has done here has come in with a Sandra Sully comment... so that all of a sudden makes him a genius in your eyes?

We have all watched it happen with our own eyes and screaming for change 4 years straight now.

I like Jeff.. but he didnt tell us anything ground breaking at all to be honest.

he's been releasing stuff prior to this video.. he seems to have great insight and can unpack things for us punters. plus, he played at the highest level.. i'd argue no one has said anything ground-breaking about the Dees at this point. but what he has said in this video and in ruck-specific content before has been insightful and well worth the praise that he gets on here.

Cumming looks so much like an Essendon player..

i'd almost attempt to move up to take him.. most impressive player in my eyes. competitive, hard, skills.

he does things that dovaston just cannot do. do not see why dovaston is rated at all really. verrrrrry vanilla. LSP could be a great player, or not, but i'd rather have a crack. no doubt he wouldn't be boring!

said on gettable he is a dons fan, so do we have to get ahead of them, theyve got a spot for him in the guts with hobbs delisting, straight away goes past plenty of their other options too

a dons fan you say?.. well that's certainly a mark in the 'cons' column.

I’m surprised there’s not more love for Hibbins-Hargreaves, yeah he’s got a lot to work on but he has pure class. Good size, looks a good athlete, clean hands and makes really good decisions.

Obviously needs a thorough medical and will need to have his defensive game coached up but profiles as a modern midfielder who excels in transition.

i agree, i saw him as a mid-fwd, as opposed to a medium sized forward. good but good size too.

very unexcited by dovaston.. despite the need for a small, i don't think we'll select him. hopefully there's a better small in next year's draft. i'd rather get a few more mids. need foot-skills and speed and another young inside mid to grow..maybe a KPF/B if one is there at our pick and JT likes what he sees.

super exited to have him around the club.. generally happy with all the pick-ups really. love some speed though. we needed more in the back half and now we have it.

Wishing the suns a very merry miss the 8 next year. I’m sure their 9 fans will be disappointed but I can live with that.
