That’s just rubbish and clearly not correct. There has been a clear change in personnel, structure and game style over the last 3 weeks. I can also tell you that in a very positive exchange recently between Goodwin & some senior players, the Coach was asked to be “a little harder on the same players making the same mistakes repeatedly”.

Really smart post.

I believe they will be flown to Qld to quarantine for 14 days so that the team will either fly up to Qld to meet them OR they can then be flown to NSW to be with the team without having to quarantine again.

It will be shortly announced that the Dees have decided to take all their fit players to the Hub so they can train as a full squad. The harsh lock-down measures in Victoria was making it too hard for the players left behind to train.

Congratulations to you Pinkshark for having the courage to own up, very rare that Posters on here do that. I have never posted negatively about Jack as I couldn’t bring myself to do it, however, I understand that all of Jack’s issues were on display against the Tigers and that led to some over reacting. That said, the reality is that the List is terribly unbalanced with inside bulls who don’t execute well so there will be those that suggest the Club will have to give something to get something we need, so Viney & Brayshaw will certainly be thrown up again before season’s end. Even more when you consider that Sparrow may well be another of that description that could come in and play that same role. With no first Rounder and a raging need for two with real outside pace & execution plus a genuine key marking forward, some hard decisions will have to be made.

All the Frost haters would have found Nick Riewoldt’s comment interesting about him being surprised they let Frost go because he thinks he’s a good defender. He also mentioned they could’ve had King with the Draft Pick they gave for May

In Josh Mahoney & Jason Taylor we trust. What crap.

Very difficult team to play as a forward in, With atrocious supply from midfield, however, Hunt was clearly the most ineffective player on the field. I like Rivers but he has had a taste and must now go back. His poor kick across field which resulted in a score against, plus his rookie mistake of not taking the body which resulted in a goal, just followed up his shocker against Geelong. I thought Tomlinson was our 3rd least effective player and is looking just like the plodder that many thought he was prior to his recruitment. After those 3, I thought that there were some disappointing players, however, I think Lockhart is being played out of position and Viney whilst being so very poor with ball in hand really did battle away and despite some courageous selection calls, I can’t see him being dropped anytime soon. Out Rivers for O Mac Out Hunt for Bennell Out Tomlinson for Weideman Out Lockhart for Nathan Jones (Providing Nathan is 100% fit & ready)

Spot on. Some fool on here will blame Joel Smith for the smother goal, however, under no pressure Oliver handballs it on his shoelaces and the defensive forwards of Richmond thrive on that type of error.

Has Lever even touched it yet?

I can tell you for a fact that AVB is playing.

Why would I sooking it when you’ve been clearly exposed as a fool. Can’t believe all the fools who bagged Smith against Carlton. You’re just unlucky I chose to name you but there were plenty of others.

Are you seriously saying you would drop Hannan? I can’t fathom what you would expect from a mid sized forward that hadn’t played any footy for about 18 months. I thought everything taken into consideration Hannan was very good. We had two very poor players today, AVB who looked so underdone and Rivers who just looked out of his depth today, and remarkably you come up with a Hannan & Lockhart. Staggering!

You can’t have watched the game to suggest dropping Tomlinson.

Nobody takes any notice of you after you wrote that Joel Smith was disgusting and played the worst game you ever saw against Carlton. He was good against Carlton, even better today. This from an athletic player who has hardly played.

Well played Joel Smith. Stuck it right up the no nothings on Demonland. No idea, NoSoupForMe.

Many self professed experts at Demonland were ecstatic at his recruitment. Where are they now?

Lack of pace, lack of run and a non penetrating kick is what has had an effect on Nev. They can’t keep playing him on opposition talls so as to hide him from their quick smalls.

I’m surprised that most of the absolute pessimists in this thread that say the list is really unbalanced & we’re a mile off, are the same ones that keep sprouting, “ in Jason Taylor we trust “

But the point is that if last year’s Pick 3 isn’t in our next Premiership side, either Jason Taylor has stuffed up again, or most of us will be on the wrong side of the daisies.

So you don’t rate Last years Pick 3.

Or, you’re simply wrong. Your comment in an earlier post that Smith was deplorable or disgusting Last week and it was one of the worst games from a Dee that you’ve ever seen was embarrassingly stupid.

What an absurd & stupid comparison. Gawn & Trac were Draftees that we recruited for nothing in precisely, or in perhaps an even better position for us than what they were predicted to go. As opposed to having to grossly overpay a 3rd tall defender to pry him out of his Club. Look, you were a well known supporter of the Lever trade and you are soon going to have to realise that he is just a good, ordinary 3rd tall defender that you Draft at around Pick 30 - 40 and you pay $400 - 450k pa tops.

And many others were critical of paying so much for a 3rd tall who’d already done a knee. No hindsight, critical at the time.

And all those other Clubs would be regretting it based on his output with us
