Mt. Dee-Maaan

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..

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).

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!

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

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?..

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.

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.

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!

as a player. not as a captain.

NEVER. IN. DOUBT. i see leadership potential in angus. not a fan of viney as captain. needs to work on his communication skills and still seems quite immature. tom mcdonald has also really impressed me of late. then we have lever too. we are blessed at the moment with so many young lions coming through. but as gus is my favourite player, i'd love to see him become co-captain/vice captain one day.

WHAT?! hawkins got off?! that is messed up..

two things: 1. surely carlton wouldn't get rid of weitering.. they know what they have. however, he was a dees supporter growing up (crazy bastard) * probably a basketballer too ? say we got him, wouldn't he be too similar to lever? i think that maybe with those two and hibberd, things might get messy? not sure though, i don't watch carlton play 2. there's no way may would come down to us. he's from darwin isn't he? his family would be all up north. goldy weather would be somewhat similar. why on earth would he move to cold and wet melbourne?! i reckon he'll stay as sole captain until the AFL finally packs that club in.

so do pillows..

yep. i'm not ashamed to say that i had a bit of a meltdown when tuohy took that mark and started to well up. once he kicked it and the cats were carrying on like porkchops it was like we'd just lost a grand final (sad in itself..i can't imagine how bad that would hurt). [censored] cried like a baby for about a minute. i rode that game so hard. heartbroken they lost. but it is just a game. and i'll be a dee for life. i really hope the players felt as bad as the supporters, but also that they know we are behind them (by & large) and only want good things for the team. go dees

why yes, i do like drugs, however, on the topic of JKH & O-Mac.. JKH should only be played against rubbish sides/if we have no one else to play. Personally, iId rather have Bugg in the team (or ideally VDB). I've never been a fan of O-Mac, however, I believe the calls for his head after this game are crazy. He wasn't to blame for the loss. The coaches messed up and should have altered our structure, or at least NEVER put him on a power forward. He is a skinny kid. Maybe quick between the ears, but weak and half-hearted as all get out. I feel he has a place in the team, but only as a third defender. Also, he needs to stop dumping the ball out of our defensive 50 'just to get rid of it'. in games of no consequence/shitty opposition, he has time and has good footskills. these all but disappear against decent opposition. so. depending on the situation, JKH I would say should not be played and O-Mac stays, but NEVER gets a power forward again. also, the coaches need to adjust their....oh why bother...

carn lions, do it for old Fitzroy!!

O MAC HAS TO STOP DUMPING THE BALL STRAIGHT BACK TO THE HALFWAY POINT!!!
