Langford, Windsor, Lindsay and Tholstrup are our future, I think Windsor and Langford are closer to the pin than XL and Kolt from a fitness point of view but I reckon the club have high expectations for these Four.

Thanks WJ and KC some very good changes there for both Dees and Casey, looking forward to very competitive teams in ‘25.

Thanks Redlegs23 and Ghostwriter for relayed friends report, great reports with lots of detail, I can’t wait for next Sunday’s game.😁👍

Looking back to the last Gold Coast game our forwards performed rather well, we got some clean ball into the fwd50 Rooey lead to the right and Disco lead straight out with Petty just behind him splitting up their backs, worked well. The coaches work on building expectations and belief, we have the cattle, even a Bison, we are a week out from the start of 2025. Time for us supporters to stop handwringing and looking in the rear view mirror, it’s time to strap yourself in for a hell ov a ride in 2025. Go Dees.❤️💙👍

Didn’t really fill me with confidence.😳😳

Funny but by the end of 2024 I only watched the Front Bar. 😁👍

I love this inside stuff, their reactions who talks and moves when they are focussed and how they show care for one another, Gold.

I know this is a Fwd Line thread but I’ll tell you what I believe is a huge improvement on last year, our Midfield setup is looking far superior now that Jones and Radford have taken control. Some of our setups last year allowed the opposition to continually waltz the ball out of the middle with little or no opposition, cost us the last game against GWS. We really missed Adem Yze last year.

Yet!! Bluey, give them time to gel we have to work out who our best fwd’s are, ie, Rooey, Disco, Jefferson, AJ, Langford, Kolt, Tracc, Culley plus what mix of smalls in Kozzie, Chin, Sharpe, Henderson, Pup. We have a lot of options but need to quickly identify the best group going forward.

We really need to get a Demonlander on the FD payroll in an assistant Media Officer role, that would assist our Training reports immensely. What do you think DannyZ and Redleg. 😁👍💕

Big thanks Ghostwriter, Demons1858, Demon Jack, Harvey Wallbanger & Kev if you are there, plus all posters and special comments. Pretty light run today, great to hear that Rooey, Petty and Spargs are all in full training and Kolt is back training lightly in boots and hopeful that Jai isn’t seriously injured.👍😁

He was training in the gallery shots on the Dees website, looked fine, also the Kolt looked good running and kicking.

Huge thanks to BBB and his family for what they bought to the MFC, so important for us in our drought breaking year. Although I would prefer that Ben stayed at Melbourne there are clubs out there that need him more than us. Goodbye BBB let’s hope that you can reunite with us at a later stage in your career.❤️💙😪

44,047 showing today.👍😁

Thanks SONS that is further great news, Casey are getting back in the Groove and are treating our VFL side in a more professional manner. Hopefully as a result of our EOS Reviews. Success breeds success and vice versa.😁👍

It has to be a joke surely, homesick kid leaves his Premiership mates to go home, he’s not coming back.✋👎

We were out all afternoon and had visitors last night so I was just sneaking a look at the player stats during the game, I thought that Chandler and Disco must have been injured as their stats weren’t moving like everyone else’s. I watched the game when everyone left. Surprised that no one is mentioning Steven May, he was brilliant as was Salem, Tracc, Clayton, Mr Ed, Max and Spaz. Bowey’s turnovers really stood out as they cost us dearly, as did Billings lack of finishing skills, what was Fritta thinking. His job is finishing. Windsor, Lindsay, Langford, Sharpe and AJ will all be better for the run. We sorely missed Rooey, Petty, TMac and Judd McVee. Let’s hope that Jack Henderson can step up to the plate. The big takeaway for me is our fitness, we ran the game out in 32+ degree heat on the other side of the country and had 14 shots for goal in the last quarter but only managed 5.9. We won all the contested KPI’s and had 63 inside 50’s, we are on the way back. 😁👍

You really have to love Brad Green, not only a champion player (who could forget his brilliance against Carlton in that qualifying final in 2000) a great captain, a committed Melbourne person and now an inspirational, generous and thoughtful President. Bravo Brad Green.❤️💙

Not necessarily they are not like for like, AJ is Ruck/Fwd, to provide a chop out for Max. 😁👍

A big thanks to Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and Harvey Wallbanger plus all posters and special comments. Really looking forward to seeing how the boys go this weekend in our last preseason hit out.😁👍

Stop it you’re killing me ✋. Let’s fret when or if it happens. Freo and Weagles aren’t the Godfathers of AFL.

I was there as well didn’t we set a new record for poor attendance at Telstra Dome, exceptionally poor turnout even for then.!!

I think it will come down to how Jai continues to perform in the Casey midfield, but if he regains his former touch he provides coverage for our three big mids in Tracc, Clayton and Riv plus Langford. Virtually an Ace in the hole.!!

No I don’t think he is fighting for Spaz’s spot Roost it far, Tommy is smaller and faster and is now battle hardened and I am expecting him to get a bigger role going forward. Jai is a much bigger unit at 194cm inside mid forward, he is basically the same height as Rooey, Disco, Jefferson and Luker Kentfield, plus he is well developed after being on an AFL list for a number of years. If he can recapture his earlier form he and Langford could really boost our midfield group.

McVee, Spargo and McAdam will not be available for R1.??
