Thanks DC it’s great to see the numbers stick ticking over, could get close to 68k.👍

Thanks KC back at our Fortress let’s hope we get the win.!!

BB he mentioned that he has already put on 6kg so that is a good start and he is listed at 195cm 6’4” same as Shwarter. Well done Mathhew Jefferson and MFC sounds like the young bloke is starting to build nicely, another pre-season and another 6kg on that frame and watch out we’ll have JvR and Jefferson Ford running around with Fritta, Kozzie and Chandler then look out.!!!

We just missed finals in 2017 & 2020 and 2019 was our year from hell with surgeries and injury, also 2022 top 4 finish hardly a failure but compromised by injuries and we ran out of steam. Very harsh Cranky Franky.!!!

Personally based on what we need at this point in time, Petty needs a spell to get back to 100% fit, Tomlinson needs to stay in the backline and Schache should come into the side to play decoy forward Or bring Grundy back in to play that role. I felt sorry for BBB yesterday, he tried his guts out but couldn’t hold his marks or get to the ball drop on a number of occasions. I liked his little kick to Max for Max’s 2nd and he certainly covered a lot of territory but unfortunately it isn’t enough and there were a number of people around me calling for him to be subbed out, it was that obvious. Or do we play Smith forward and use Schache as the Sub?? We have options, playing an injured Petty or BBB shouldn’t be one of them.!!!

Thanks DD those figures show just how good the Crows were, their pressure and hard offensive running really dampened our effectiveness But we were still good enough to get over the line. !!!

Look forward to your Crows Dees stats DD.!!

I remember the exhilaration and ultimate disappointment of the John Northey era 87 should have been ours and his year but as pointed out 5 out of 7 winning years got us back in the groove. The Daniher 10 year span was something else particularly 98 and 2000 we got used to winning again and enjoyed going back to the G. Hard to believe how quickly the past 7 years have gone under Simon Goodwin and how we have changed, we now expect to win every game, 2018 so exciting to be back, 2021 we saw perfection for the first time in 60 years, Goody has built expectation and a strong culture back to our mighty club. Love Goody and what he brings week in week out.!!!!

I love what Mark Choco Williams has bought to Melbourne he refines them, lifts them up to AFL level but also keeps them well grounded so they don’t get ahead of themselves. A fair dinkum Legend of the game and he is ours for another twelve months at least.💕

6 - Max 5 - Tracc 4 - Jack 3 - Gus 2 - Kozzie 1 - Ed Very good team effort again we won the contested ball and held our nerve Again. Great game to watch both sides very good at different times.!!!

Wahbloody hoo what a heart stopper. Go Dees.!!!!!

Looking forward to this game today prefer the Crows at the G although 3:20 is a bit late and it will be very cold. May was a bit off last week but that may have been due to having a handicapped Petty not able to play his role after a couple of heavy hits. Hoping for a 20 - 30 point win but will accept any win, really need to keep Cats out of the Top 4. Good luck Thommo and Kade Chandler we could use a bit of extra zip around the ground. Let’s get in behind the team and make some extra noise to support the DA and our team, Milkshake mentioned the crowd noise in the last quarter let’s not disappoint them.!!!!

Really good players have a way of surprising everyone, they improve quickly particularly when surrounded by a great support team and supportive team mates.!!

Thanks Swannies.!!!

Thanks KC and all posters for comments on game, could have been a great win with a bit more accuracy in front of goal. Feel sorry for Dunstan and Schache, AFL can be a very lonely place when you are on the outer. AMW and Deakin Smith have definitely lifted their output over the last half dozen games and may be keeper’s, what are your thoughts on these two boys??

So true FD more a guidance than an interview, it’s like watching the news people read the news, no one ever questions the rubbish that they are reading , even when you know it’s [censored] they never question it. Where have the real journalists gone, so bland so insufferable mind numbing don’t rock the boat rubbish.!!!

Love JJ has skill, height and endurance he would fit straight in with most sides, I hope he stays but if he goes I hope he goes to a team in finals contention.!!!

Just watched him on 360 very confident young man interviewed well by Gerard and Robbo.!!!

Great to see it still ticking over, when is the cutoff DC?

Jared Rivers from memory.!! Sorry see above.

Congratulations Judd McVee so glad that you have finally been recognised by the wider AFL world, us Dee supporters have been admiring your immense efforts all year a real diamond in the rough.!!!

Me to Joeboy my first go to when I get home from the game before heading to the Votes, stats and post game thread.!!!

Brodie Grundy is too good an AFL footballer to languish in the VFL for more than a week or two and I back our FD to utilise his skills in a way that maximises the benefits for our Club. Barrett & Co the talking heads focus on negative divisive issues, they love failures it sells papers and headlines. Brodie Grundy will help prolong Max’s longevity and get enough game time to keep him interested until he takes over from the great man. In the mean time we can focus on recruiting that Key forward, silky tough midfielder and tall tough defender to keep us up with the pack.!!!

Looks like we are going to receive a fair price for LJ after all, 5 & 23 plus Matthew Jefferson is much better than any of us had hoped for, even 7 & 25 is still reasonable. Gives JT & TL plenty to work with and we all know what we lack.!!!

Well we nearly bought the house down in Trinity Park on Friday night such an exciting game, one critical play after the other, 24 down just over 7 mins on the clock, bang, bang, bang , bang and each goal remarkable in it own right we were yelling and jumping feeling edgy and excited, the crowd noise at the G was coming through loud and clear. Jake Melksham’s desperate acrobatic mark and time delaying kick seemed to take forever and then that joyous exhilarating feeling when it went through is hard to describe. Rick saved the day then lots of talking watching interviews and then the Boys singing the song. Then pack our backs clean up ready for our 10:10 am flight back to good old Melbourne.!!!! That great come from behind win topped off a fabulous week in Cairns, love Nth QLD.💕
