We certainly got a lot more than we expected with Michael Hibberd he has endeared himself with Dee supporters, unassuming even humble but what a great Premiership player he has turned out to be, still can’t get over how good and how tough Hibbo is, would love to see him play his 200th game this year.

Good luck Josh Schache, try and enjoy your first game in the Red & Blue at the G. Stay in the moment work hard, beat your man, kick a couple and open up the forward line for Fritta, JVR and Kozzie and hopefully stay in the team.!!!!!

DubDee BBB has been having back issues and will need to prove his fitness before coming back, plenty of time for BB.

I was hoping that Daniel Turner would have got a run in the backline, really surprised that Hibbo got up he looked in a bit of trouble late in the game skying kicks. He is a tough customer.!!

ANB is a culture driver, Premiership player and would love to see him play out his career at the Dee’s. The sooner the better I say.!!!

All things considered Andrew Dillon has undertaken a long Apprenticeship at the top of the AFL so would have invaluable inside knowledge of how it all hangs together. This will allow Dillon to hit the ground running and not have to learn the ropes and get tripped up by all the seasoned experts in clubland, etc,etc. I would have had my money on Brendan Gale, he’s been brilliant at Richmond but he may have some short comings that we haven’t spotted??

We are in a great spot with our list But as previously mentioned we need more outside class to compliment our AA midfield group, we topped up on talls last year this year has to be quality tall mids.!!!

Lol maybe they are wary of hiring people on a full time basis that may be hard to move on if they continue to be duds.???

Took the words right out of my mouth rjay, we could pick up three guns.!!

Thanks Kev and all posters difficult to get any serious training in with a five day break when coming off so much travel and a hard tough Monday night game.!!

Agree FB BBB always looks better when we get the midfield clearance and kick it long into F50, so does Fritta, we haven’t been as dominant out of the centre this year, particularly against Lions and Bombers. Need to focus more on centre clearances and if we don’t win don’t allow the opposition to waltz it out without extreme pressure. We have a lot of learnings in our first 6 games let’s hope we can get back to 2021 energy and team focus. We looked more like Melbourne after half time.!!!

Thanks DD so Trent Rivers and JJ the big improvers and welcome back Jake Lever and hopefully May and Gawn on the way back to their best.

I remember watching Kade after our Granny win hugging Jake Lever, he was crying and I remember thinking jeez this kid is really invested, he played a pearler in the Casey Granny and is now producing the goods at AFL level. If he can maintain his current form he will be an automatic lock in the 23, he is young and relatively inexperienced but you wouldn’t know it. He helped keep us in the game Monday night, really starting to like this kid. Go Kade Chandler.!!!

Layzie that is never going to happen we are to diverse and have different emotional chargers.!!

Try to enjoy the night and not overthink it. !!

When we walked back to the car we were all excited and happy, it was a great night the pre-game experience was moving and well respected. Both teams played hard tough footy and even though they got the rub of the green from the 4 adjudicators we still managed to kick 9 of the last 13 goals and were still running hard at the end of game. They took us on early and ran out to a 25 point lead and we took them on and clawed our way back to an 18 point win that’s a 43 point turnaround despite numerous poor decisions against us. Our better and most experienced players All played well, our second stringers all had a crack and our 5 kids all did themselves proud ( Bowey, Chandler, McVee, JVR and Laurie) and all in front of a crowd of almost 84K noisy excited fans, how good does it get.!!!! PS( The Anzac Eve game for those of us that have had family members who fought and were damaged in the Great Wars and those that are still representing us in the Military this game is an expression of our care and respect for all who have served.)

Best turn out of Dees supporters at a Home game in years we had the tigers covered and how good were we in the 2nd half.!!!

6 - Jack Viney 5 - Max Gawn 4- Christian Petracca 3 - Clayton Oliver 2 - Kade Chandler 1 - Jacob van Rooyen I gave votes to the two kids that kept us in the game and eventually won it for us. Lever, Brayshaw and Langdon all deserved a vote, a great team effort in the end it was an exhilarating and tense game to watch at the G and boy did we get behind them it was so loud in the second half.!!!

Great night great crowd and we are dishing up this drivel.😪😪😪

But if he kicks 4 goals instead of 4 points.???

Thanks KC and all posters very disappointing day for Casey I think that the 2.9 first half really killed us. You can’t doubt Dunstan’s endeavour and a lot had a crack including Harmes, Turner, Woey, Bell but I agree where were our other AFL listed players, they are playing for their futures and we are going to have to make way for a new lot of kids at the end of 2023.!!!

Enjoy your fish Mr & Mrs Picket, who knows most things are possible???

Thanks Andy another great interview Judd sounded relaxed and wasn’t frightened to talk openly with you. I enjoyed his story and was glad that it was easy for him to re-sign with the Dees he speaks so glowingly of the backline crew and the club. Another inspired pick up by JT.!!!

59,220 slowly climbing to 60k.!!!

DD I didn’t see TMac or Hunter as well.
