Brownie

I've never felt so flat about a 4 point game

Imagine how much worse we'd be this year without him

We were lucky, that was a terrible pass to Harmes

Just put Petty back and take Omac off the ground for good.

Born in 1966, lifelong Dees supporter and member for the past 10 years. Last season has just made this season the worst I've endured. Yep, losing passion for the club too.

Totally agree. Almost choked on my beer when Campbell Brown said the good news is it's any easy fix to get the connection and delivery into our forward line working! Not for us

Just finished watching. Why has it taken so long to play a natural forward like Fritta forward? Great game by him and Clarry. Short 1m Handballs to each other are like watching kids pass around a s@#t wrapped in newspaper and set on fire. My favourite was a handpass to a team mate laying on the turf. I reckon Preuss should be given another run. He's a good backup for Maxy who looks stuffed both physically and probably mentally. Petrecca just seems too slow for the Gil and Hocking touch footy game they are introducing

Umps are just ruining a great game. That was woeful.

Yeah I think players would just try to engineer more stoppages to try and conserve energy.

This is spot on. No such thing as incorrect disposal now. Also, it drives me nuts watching players tackle someone to ground and then pin the ball into their opponent. It's effectively holding the ball by the tackler. Can't wait for boundary umpires to be paying frees as well. So over officiated. They should go back to two central umpires and just put their whistles away. The NRL and soccer must be laughing at this. Hocking is a [censored]. Our game is becoming a joke.

Our forward entries are like a 15 year old boy trying to pick up at a blue light disco

Get ready for 16 on the field

Agree, Clarrie was the only one worth watching today. He's a shining light in a pile of poo.

Have a big fat weisenstaphaner and a schnapps for me @ProperDee first time in a long time I won't be making the two hour trip to the Gabba. I just can't be sure what they're going to dish up but here's hoping we've got the wheels back on. Looking forward to more beast mode from Viney. Go Dees

There was some contested footy in the centre square during the third where he crunched 1 Freo player bringing him to ground, tripped a second Freo player over with his head and then got up and brought a third player down with another crunching tackle. What amazed me in that skirmish at the end of the third was after decking Walters, he had three Freo players come at him and he didn't even raise his hands up to instinctively protect himself. He just kinda came at them and roared in full beast mode while they tried to rip his Guernsey off. You can see in the photo, his hands stayed down the whole time as if egging them on to throw one just to make him angrier. He's just brilliant to watch when the red haze comes over him.

I watched him take a blokes legs out with his head in the last then get up straight up and lay a tackle. Great game by Viney.

Still bombing into the forward line. I bet we won the f50 entries again and lost the quarter as usual.

Lockhart has had a brilliant quarter

He's awesome

I wonder if Rawlings pushed for Fritsch forward. I hope he gets a good couple of games in the forward line to prove himself. He's a natural up there I reckon

I hear he had a promising pre-season and is looking ripe for debut in the JLT series in 2020

Geez I hope we can hang on to him. Great to have Jade back in a senior role. It wouldn't hurt the club to throw good money at him to keep him in as a 2IC to Goody. He's not a bad plan b if Goody can't turn things around by mid 2020.

Years ago I saw a keynote by Lawrie Lawrence. His talk was all about preparation (and practice practice practice). He told an amazing story about the 2000 Olympics. The one athlete with more weight on their shoulders than any other was Cathy Freeman. She was expected to bring home the gold in athletics for Australia. The pressure on her was immense. Lawrie said that the reason she did this so successfully and that the pressure didn't crush her (I.e. don't think about it) was preparation. She practiced and practiced her whole routine so often that by the time she walked into that stadium, she was on auto pilot. You must be prepared at an elite level. So you gotta wonder why we are taking this so casually. If this is match day simulation, then they should be putting blokes on the mark and simulating the whole thing over and over until it's just a routine on match day. And.. coaches are there to correct and coach along the way. We seem to be more Krygious than Freeman

The Matildas. They go harder and have mad skillz

We don't need a map? I'll have a look at it cheers. Sweet country by Thorton was pretty cool too
