Big thanks to Harvey Wallbanger and Kev Martin for their training reports and all posters, as mentioned earlier that was a good pick up on Steven May. I think that losing AMW forced McVee to stay down back and Riv back to half back flank but with Bowey and Salem staying back it free’s McVee and Lindsay to play running half backs and Riv into the midfield. Glad to see Windsor in the side and TMac as well.

That should read whereas Bowey,

Thanks DD the team rating is heading in the right direction but the players ranking below 2.000 need to get a move on if they want to keep getting game time. Still they have 7 weeks to finish strongly and show us what they’ve got. Langford and Lindsay are showing their class whereas snowed, Pickett, Turner and Chandler our big improvers. Hope they can keep it up.👍

This is great news and I’d like to thank Ghostwriter, Redleg and DannyZ and all pro Judd posters, Judd is a key part of our rebuild and having Kalani coming to us is huge as well, two talented, quality kids.😁😁👍

Not sure where you are getting your info Garbo but up to R16 player ratings for 2025 were 1- Max 2- Oliver 3- Petracca 4- Bowey 5- Salem 6- Pickett 7- May. So people like Me base our writings on actual statistics not emotions and hubris and I thought disrespect.

DD I’m like the last of the Mohicans, I search out all the positive morsels and try not to dwell on our faults to much, I love a win as much as anyone. But I am now focussing on our younger brigade as we are in the middle of a rebuild on the run just need to be a lot smarter with our trades.👍😁

RIP Brian Dixon another of our Legends passed, condolences to Family, friends and the Demon Legion.❤️💙🙏

Should be a good game put your kicking shoes on Casey can’t let anymore games slip through [censored] kicking.👍😁

Comeon Judd you know you want to just sign the contract young man so we can get on with things that are more important than going home. If it’s more money comeon FD pay up, you know Juddie we picked YOU time now for You to pick US.❤️💙👍😁

Thanks Andy Binman and all posters, I had a listen on Tuesday night and concur with all the positive posters, another great listen on a game that really could have been ours. Really enjoyed your thoughts on the game nice to get a clear perspective on the why’s, wherefore’s and nuances of the game and strange how we were right in it despite Tracc, Clarry and Max all being well down on their average performances. It’s a bit of a shame that the negativity is outweighing the on field gains that we are currently seeing with our playing group, I hope for the FD and playing groups sake that they turn up for each and every game left in this unholy season. Thanks again.👍😁

Thanks SONS but are you suggesting that Clayton is only worth 300K a year, he is still in our top 5 and will be 28 next year. May has a year to go but could go again, Rick has strong leadership qualities that we need and has been cruelled by injury, he needs an injury free preseason to get back to his elite best. Melksham should go again but we need to clear some space in the List, we need to clear 6-8 spots and fast track Adam’s, Verrall, Kentfield and Seston if we are keeping them. It’s a tough gig SONS but there will need to be some hard decisions made going into 2026.

Thanks DD but I think our short game meant we retained the ball under little pressure for the first 1.5 quarters they had to restructure to get back in the game. They ramped it up in the 3rd but couldn’t shake us off, Lady Luck has deserted us.

Thanks Timothy Reddan -A’Blew, Luker is a good size and looks like a real footballer let’s all hope that he can continue improving, can Casey still make finals?

I really rate Judd McVee and hope that he stays with us for the rest of his career, he has a good skill set that currently suits our needs. We don’t know what is happening behind the scenes to cause his reluctance to sign a new contract particularly 7 weeks out from seasons end but I hope we can resolve his concerns.

Thank your lucky stars ANG13 that you aren’t Wet Toast.😁👍

You should take some time out to watch our games doomsday Dee, we beat Brissie up there, also Freo, Swans, pushed Hawks, Pies, GCS and Crows also pushed GWS to within a goal. We really aren’t that far off the pace but I guess that doesn’t suit your agenda. If the Team was lost do you think we would be pushing the top sides to within a couple of goals??

Based on who, Tom Morris….!!! bS.

We may have to cash in our 2026 1st rounder to buy a few 2nd and 3rd rounders to help refresh the list. I’m thinking trades not Rookies, so many uncertainties.

Surely there is a tall fwd on a list that is caught in a logjam at their club who would consider coming to the Dees, one of the Whitlocks for example. And don’t call me Shirley.

Another big thanks to Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters and special comments, greatly appreciated. Good to hear that Sesto is only a further week away and that Luker shrinks during the day (lol), good turn up given the atrocious conditions GW, you reporters are dedicated indeed. Let’s hope the boys set themselves for North this week.

Ha ha somewhere between 194-196cm.

Thanks GW we all hope that his self confidence continues to improve in line with his ability, did you ask him how tall he really is. lol.!!

Did we cop any injuries in Adelaide GW.

It’s pretty sad when you want your team to lose to get your own way, me I hope we win every game we play, I ride every win and loss with our team and hope fervently that we can arise again with most of our team intact and that we only trade in to cover immediate needs. ie a Back a Fwd and a Mid of some quality. I trust our coaches more than I do some of our supporters.

And yet they have 6 Keith Bluey Truscott’s, 2 AFL Coaches Awards, a Premiership and our only Norm Smith Medal between them. Jeezuz the worm turns quickly doesn’t it.
