He is bad news. Keep well away Dees!

Just got back home in Brissie after taking Sons and Grand Sons down for game. Being an ex Vic boy and been 20 odd years since at the G I could not ask any more from this team. We had an absolute ball amongst 80k Dee supporters at the G on Friday night. They bring the same intensity against the Hawks and clean up our entries into forward half and kick straight we are a big chance. It was unbelievable walking down to the G from our accom in East Melb. I reckon it must have been 3 to 1 Dee supporters out of ground and seemed about 10 to 1 in the ground. What a night.

He has to be selected and give Max a chop out in ruck so Tom Mac can stay up forward. Then it is up to him. He has failed with the opportunities he has had in the past. Must win game for the team and Weid must deliver.

The delivery at times is ordinary however Jess struggles to get in right position and when he does win the ball his kicking for goal is poor. This holding the ball and moving it left /right etc before kicking is not what should be done. Just hold the ball and run straight at the goals. I hope he can become a first class KPF but must start taking strong pack marks, lead more often and kick bloody straight. Still a youngster so here's hopeing.

Of course he will return to Perth. AFTER he finishes playing for the DEES.

And it must be working well as we have given teams hidings since he went to bench. Have talked to him a few times when he has been up here in Qld and comes across as a terrific fella that has time of day to chat. No doubt he encourages and supports the players plus constructive feedback when needed. From all accounts he is a very valuable member of the coaching group and for one I am glad he is with the Dees.

Concur. Tom Mac is a must and he can play most positions whereas Lynch is basically a 2nd or 3rd tall forward of which we have a few like Weeds, Smith etc. Not forgetting Hogan also. Doubt Lynch would fit in at all. The other thing is Lynch goes missing allot in games and we have enough of those. Gaff I would take if reasonably priced to cover Vince and Lewis when they retire. But keeping Mac is a no brainer.

I'm sorry and I hope I am very wrong but my view is other than the 1st qtr he was running on the spot. Has no pace at all and like most of his mates turned the ball over. Happy to give him another chance as it was his 1st game but he really needs to find some pace somewhere to burst out of tight situations. Many times he seemed to be standing still when opposition just ran past and from him.
