Docs Demons

Our forward line are missing a few but I'm still bullish about those we will put out on the paddock. Also reckon Swannies backs are not that good. All depends on the mids. We win the pill and at least deliver it into the forwards a bit better than in the past we will win this.

All good to keep having a go at the Schach attack and Tomo Werridee but try and be positive every now and again. Maybe they are our best alternatives at present and we need/have to run with them unless you have a better plan? alternative at the moment.

Concur with all the sentiments on here. He was a great player and is a great Dees man. As Pert mentioned I hope he stays with us in some capacity. Maybe an assistant to an assistant coach. Whatever he does going forward he will remain one of our favourite players and bloke. Take care Gus and trust you stay well and remain around the club.

IMO there is no middle ground here. We either come together as one BIG unit or we fall away big time. Let's trust it is the former. Adversity can bring unity if all buy in. Time will tell.

I'll be putting a few greenies on that!

Whilst we have wasted the last 2 years we should have won more finals particularly last season. We proved we are as good ,if not better than all other sides. It's well documented what our issues were up forward. Gawn stays injury free, Oliver gets up and about sooner than later and with the newbies I believe we are well and truly right in the hunt again this season and next year. After that not to sure.

Get him right and we will be there for the flag again.

Agree he will most likely go end next season hence we need to get, and keep him fit this coming season and it will certainly put us in line for another flag.

Gives us additional incentive to win the flag again in 24, 25 and 26.

Maybe Chook we could also throw in a Davey.

If he has the guts and determination of his old man then I will be very happy and will be a great addition to the Dees.

Gee WCW will be disappointed at the ground. This is not good for the women and club in general. Maybe Goody should get out of the box.

Reckon we have this one but next week will be tough.

Yep and this is a BIG IF. If he can get fit and has a decent run at it I reckon he's a lock for best 22. Guy can play providing his body stands up. Good move by us.

Reality check. Maybe we aren't as good as everyone thinks. Crows with big bodies and some classy players showing us up at the moment. Need to reverse this real quick or it could get ugly.

You can have King, Wade, McKenna and Hudson in our forward line and still wouldn't kick a winning score. King just a youngster starting out whilst Wade had Goggin then Krakouers, Mckenna had Price etc hitting them up on the lead whilst Hudson had the whole forward line to himself. Until our current Mids learn to lower eyes and deliver correctly then no big name in our forward line will get us to the next premiership. Would prefer mids with elite disposal and awareness and stay with Petty JVR etc. Give me a Guilden like player and I'd be happy.

I think Kent is taking the Mickey !!!

And I do hope he had some stern words to himself for such a poor performance.

I reckon we have 1-3 years left at the top with the current list and that's not counting on a few coming through from Casey plus McAdam and other new recruits. Basically plenty of kicking drills in the off season actually changing our style to lower eyes and kick to someone in a better position. To many times we have spare players all alone in the forward half and basically ignore them. Simple task to fix IMO but it seems no one at the club wants to do.

Reckon it's ripe for the Lions taking. They should belt a banged up Blues and will beat Pies or Giants in GF.

Reckon he makes the whole back line look better and more balanced.

Really need ALL players to practise their kicking skills, learn to lower their eyes and hit up our open players. Do that and this years cup would have been ours. Then another one is for Goody to not make silly selections like last Friday which has been flogged to death.

Only one way to fix these [censored] and that is to make the big dance hopefully against the Pies and beat them by 1 point. Then watch Eddie and his sons have a cry and say they were robbed. Wouldn't that be nice.

Then more so when we knock the Bears off in Brissie and just maybe have our turn the following week against the Woods. First things first and go hard at the ball (all players) good disposal to our own players in a better position and kick bloody goals please on Friday and an easy win will eventuate.

Gee, all this stuff from posters that we are going to get tough and hurt players because Maynard got off is laughable. Who in the hell from our team other than Viney will show any aggression. Fritta maybe ? Your joking. He doesn't even spoil Quaynor or block a player in the goal line when a goal was imminent. We haven't a hard nosed player in this team other than Viney and even he can't come up against the likes of Maynard. Maybe we can turn to Langdon, Chandler, Laurie, Spargo, BBB and the likes. Wouldn't worry me and I'm 70 odd. Let's all just get back to reality and hope in hell we can bring our A game on Friday and live another day. Just maybe a win then another against the Lions and get the Pies in the GF and the just play the ball and win. Wouldn't that be nice!. Firstly we have the Blues to get over.
