damn. i want her back at the dees.

Its the off season, its midnight and i cant sleep and got suddenly curious as to how we all became dees. For me it was my cousins who were up the road who are all mad dees and that was 35 years ago and the rest is history. So how did you end up a dee?

Thanks @WalkingCivilWar. Not great to hear there are problems though. Hopefully it all gets sorted before next season.

Did you go WCW? This is a bit off topic but a mate and i were chatting last night and we both felt like something happened in the group with about 2 or 3 rounds to go in the season (obviously from the outside looking in). So i guess I'm wondering what the vibe was like etc last night or if my friend and i are wildly wrong (which i hope we are)

maybe not secret plays but id be disappointed if they arent practicing the game plan, which is hopefully new and updated.

Imvho sparrow can absolutely be a grade and also a potential leader/captain of the club, thats how highly i rate him. Look for him to go up a level or 2 this year

They were good fun

Clarry is a fellow redhead. We dont perform well in the sun

Its interesting Richmond are at the bottom when i actually think its a deliberate strategy to slow their opponents attacking. And the dogs give away the least so that speaks to discipline?

Between maynard flattening brayshaw and davidson playing a violin over an injured player and then both winning flags, karma is officially dead in footy.

Yeah ive had a mare here.

Well we previously had a heap of jacks on the list ($cully, watts, trengove, grimes, Fitzpatrick) so its about time we moved onto the next letter of the alphabet

im sure the MFCSS will kick in soon enough

i get far too optimistic reading these reports haha

Petracca is a dreamboat

Lever is 194cm White is taller than him 😳😍

this is good. the Jiath boys have come through Xavier too, after moving up from gippsland.

we won a flag with jackson, pickett and rivers in the team as 2nd year players (and all under 20) + Jordon, sparrow as 3rd year and spargo and petty in their 4th years.

and i suspect he better get up to speed sharpish if he wants to be in the team 😂

https://www.afc.com.au/news/1412354/mcadam-to-miss-eagles-clash McAdam had a quad strain, got back in the team then injured his cheekbone in august. this shouldnt have impacted his off season work though - but may explain why he was a little behind fitness wise?

honestly i feel like we could go either way next year. this year we lost 9 games and 7 of them were by less than 2 goals, and another was geelong in geelong by 15. we won 4 by less than 12 points. next season we could drop off and those losses be worse or equally we could win 2 more of the close ones and finish top 2 on the ladder. i also think if we had any of a fit melksham, brown, tmac (clearly not fit), or Petty for finals we win some finals last season. id almost be tempted to put brown on ice until round 20 next year to ensure he is fit for finals if needed.

More than that, most people have us missing the 8 entirely

most of that profit is just what ive spent at the club shop i have a problem

we should have a young White in 2026?

I'm a little worried about our lack of ruck depth. Max is obviously amazing and hopefully Fullarton can be the 2nd ruck/forward. But after that it seems weve got verrall who is obviously very young and raw... and thats it. Last season max was injured for 6 weeks and covered well by grundy but who rucks if that happens again? Fullarton with shache playing fwd/ruck?
