Backs well and truly against the wall tonight. Win and we still keep hope alive. No more chances.

Had a mean streak at times but was still the greatest. Wicked sense of humor.

I know we shouldn't win tonight but I betting we will. Dees by twenty seven.

And sky ( cough).

Sorry about the double....I've started early.

Sorry...wrong thread.

I was going to quip that someone had put vodka in your water bottle "again" but then had a closer look. Yep you picked the wrong week to give up the old Metho. Don't worry, what you spend on Liver tests is offset by the savings on beers you make at Marvel these days.

It has me puzzled as well. Oliver and Lever were our best. Oliver gets votes for me. But in a game we almost won( or just lost), it was hard to find votes for our players.

Last time we met, Tracca,May, Lever, Max and Tmac were in cheat touch with 50 marks between them. Chandler was in scintillating form as he is at the start of seasons with three sausage rolls and even Bbb kicked two Oliver played his best game of the season. The drive from our backline we had was immense then and something that Gws recently showed us up in.

Yep. You can't lose most of your close games and expect finals.

Well this came around fast. Win this and we have a sniff.

Waverly was a challenge. I'm surprised at the numbers they actually got at times . What a terrible location and design. Perfect for the Dees supporters snowmobiles as the car park mud was a nightmare.

Time for the Dlanders who ran over a black cat to fess up.

Right leg been acting up something awful No but we do seem to have their measure. From the famous film the Castle... " It's a vibe" Plus less than half our players fronted up against Gws and we almost won. So if we play 10 per cent better footy we've got this

Still think we can make finals. Beat the dogs and Port and we have the momentum and motivation to win the last two But how long we last in finals is a different story. Hopefully enough to change the narrative of straight sets.

Usually tell people off for these sorts of posts. But calling the only team to win a flag in over fifty years a disgrace is going way too far.

This is a must win. I actually like our chances. Mind you I thought that about the Giants. Out... Woey and perhaps Bowey. In ...young Brown and maybe Sparrow( slim pickings if I'm honest). Turner to get a full game so not sure which from the ins or Laurie to sub. If we lose it's still possible I guess to sneak into the finals as I believe 13 wins will qualify. At the end of the day I just want us to kick cwoods ar*e even if we are not a chance to play finals. I mean that's the real win. Let's not lose perspective here😃1

Lamest one yet.

Top post. Yes for many there are real impediments to getting to games. Health ... absolutely for some. Logistics..... surprisingly high number of Dlanders live outside Vic. And money.....in these challenging financial times it's a fair excuse. But as you say those who don't go for protest reasons are shooting themselves in their kicking foot and the club as well. I was surprised at the crowd numbers on a game that we could have one( and almost did). A game when finals were on the line. Alas the weather was iffy but that brings to mind the expression of fair weather supporters. I do think we can do better than we did. Thanks to all of you who braved the elements and rocked up. Well done.

Yes to Rivers and maybe Mcvee. But certainly for me Lever was well and truly overlooked. Our second best after Oliver.

From the best midfield in the comp to one that's clearly struggled this year. Jack Viney had a ripper season last year but has been well down on average disposals this year. Oliver whilst showing signs of his old form faltered in the last quarter despite being our best player. Even before Tracca was injured this year looked sluggish at times and would often take two quarters to reach top gear. Sparrow well his season is summed up by his demotion so I don't include him. So yes we need some new blood. Rivers has been great but needs more fitness. Kozzie is needed up fwd. I have hope for AmW to have a crack as with maybe young Brown. We clearly won our flag from the three horsemen in Jack Tracca and Clarry. The Gws goals from clearances reminded me a little of the bang bang from the gf.

And there is a great deal of truth in it. Rivers and Oliver clearly ran out of Puff And por Max looked like he was struggling from some ailment.

Thanks ElDiablo14. So it comes back to licence fees to the Government. I should have known😃

Umps seemed to blow the whistle and give giants a free just when we had started to build momentum. It's like they were often doing whatever they could to slow us down and stop us from scoring. Obviously I'm a bias Dees supporter but I did watch the replay ( well half of it) and there were definitely occasions when Gws were paid some very iffy frees when it looked like we had arm wrestled some control of the game. I know it's a tough job in real time but honestly the umps either have an agenda( which is very hard to comprehend) or are they are simply just incompetent. I think more training is required and certainly more experience. We need to raise the standard of umpiring as I think 2024 has seen the lowest grade ever.

Agreed. He's hardly had whole games and he was fairly good given the amount of game time he's had. Some positive signs from the youngster for sure. Bowey on the other hand is a worry. Since he came back from his shoulder injury he has been nowhere near his best. Windsor characteristically quiet despite one or two classy acts. AmW still going ok and like Windsor I predict a big future. Jvr didn't get going and had a disappointing day. Mcvee is traveling very nicely. A shame Disco didn't get a full game as many of our fwds didn't do much.
