Deemania since 56

There really is a good deal of ...'need to do(s)'... in this; it does ask a great deal and outwardly seems crucifiable; however, I'd agree with it all if the subsequent recruiting and/or required developments were all successful. It certainly is worth a shot and will emphasise the need to undertake extensive professional mentalities and core developments. The players that we have let go over the past two years are sorely missed and may well, had they been retained, have filled much of the 'gapping' that is now apparent. This observation would only be temporary, most likely. We need a motivating 'head' to oversight and factorise the remediation; in my mind, that ain't Goody alongside a team of alleged facilitators. As supporters and Club members, we must also be patient; time will be the key for positive change to emerge from consistent endeavours.

Dysfunctional it was - he still had a 'go' despite the odds.

But the deck chairs have woodworm!

Trac has worked his way through many things and in particular, he is our best player as a consequence. Given that our season is virtually over after the KB game, we cannot hope for a speedy recovery, let alone a worsening of his physical condition threatened by an attempt to see him on the ground again in 2024. Best wishes to you Christian, and whilst we wish you every comfort and appropriate recovery in this part of the season and what may follow, we have few demands for your onfield return in 2024 - so rest easy...

Agreed

Realism.

Nothing inspiring, nothing new, no specifics upon which to outwardly analyse options, no direct comments at all other than well-deserved praise for ANB's tagging role, no exploration of key remedies for performance. Notably, we no longer attempt to look into Goodwin's post-game pressers; fuddle-duddle, non-specifics. Particularly after a loss but also, after a win (that appears to be as random as his 'explanatory and sandy intents'. We linger on, once again.

Fully agree, most of the games I've seen in the past two years fully emphasise this tendency - and we all thought that the long bomb era should be over by now. We do not have the cattle to receive this way; in turn, it just doubles our opponents' rebound opportunities, pressurising our backs and leaving our midfielders a return run of around 120metres every intercept, leaving the midline almost open to opposition progress.

Distant Monarch, mother-in-laws cooking = Far King Disgusting. Pathetic planning for this match.

It would be great (if he has the disposal skills and confidence) to re-kindle in our team some of the (lesser onfield crimes) attributes of Rodney the Grinter, the poise of a younger Gazza Lyon and the ... 'take 'em all on...' effectiveness of Neeta. We have been waiting, after all.

If it is a question, Ol55, then my impressions are that all three may well develop into power forwards - time is an incredulous thing where initial abilities are present.

Pleasing words of caution there, Nascent.

We may have an increase in 'mongrel' (long overdue) for next season should he bulk-up, reach peak fitness and study Viney's attitude.

Phabulous!

Inconsiderate cause of enormous anxiety for those who support the Club.

... and it is another thing to (at the opportunity) to break free for receives, and with his booming kick, hit his target in the Dees' forward progression of the ball. He's done this, recently, without sole focus of defending against an opponent outside of their goal zone.

That is a fact, Tomlinson can out-mark the smalls and finds space to so do.

Just focus on something - that's the key issue of the round - it might be improved linkages, goal kicking, teamwork, speed and delivery, whatever - but I think Matthews has a point - footy can be an emotion-packed game to true supporters and we have deep feelings about the occurrence, the reviews, the outcomes; should Random Thuggy have a bad day then it is an emotional retribution and nothing more. It could be motivating, assisting the Dees to come together, win the game and grab the lollies dangling on the slate. Mongrel is mongrel, maiming opportunism is something else.

We should have retained and groomed Yze.

I retain some faith in Chandler and perhaps, Tomlinson; Petty may well surprise all of our 'naysaying' as he can turn it on.

Selection for this week against the Filth is critical, delayed, non-communicative. If so many players being considered that minds and fitness cannot be related at this point (Sat), it looks like another loss coming up perhaps.

Yep, great album.

Seven out of five ... it made you feel as if you were part of the Premiership team; Max really put you there.

Onyer, Vines. Mongrel Man, you made us all proud - several times over the years, but this was the icing on the cake. I insist that Goodwin shows this to the boys pre-game, the entire incident. If our whole team stood up for each other like this, the flags are ours! No speeches, just silent vision of the moment.

Do you feel like I do? Same thoughts...
