The Swimming Dee

Agree with all that you are saying...but Ratten had a fair point. I watched a bit of the game last night and in the second quarter there was approximately 2 minutes of play when the Saints should have been rewarded maybe 5 times for holding the ball or incorrect disposal...the umpiring was a joke

I seriously don’t understand it

The umpiring was terrible. Another example was in the second quarter when Salem took a mark. He backed off the mark in a straight line and was called to play on...completely mystifying

He is a seriously unlikeable bloke

I wasn’t implying that you did and I’m not keen for an argument...all good mate

I’ll agree to disagree then...I thought he had a good game and I’m pretty certain he won’t be dropped ?

I though Sparrow should have been picked instead of Harmes but IMO Harmes had a great first half and played his best game for a while. This whole thread is opinion based though because as stated I was clearly wrong last week with selection

His first half was very good...go re-watch if you missed it. Sorry if you think I am overcooking it...I thought he was very good - hope that opinion is ok with you

I can’t agree with that. Harmes had a fantastic game

Oliver huge! TMac huge! Brown huge! I love the win that is a grind...well done lads. We deserve to be premiership favourites now...not that I give a crap about odds

Brown is a gun!

Sparrow was BOG by the length of the Flemington straight. I’ve doubted his ability to make it before but what I saw in that game made me believe he has all the tools to be a Midfield regular at AFL level...he was excellent! Not only was he hard at it and great at the contested ball but his evasiveness and foot skills were very good. He comes in before Harmes IMO

? I knew what you meant but couldnt help myself sorry. Amazing that both of these blokes have signed on along with Salem and Max...no stuffing around...be sure of one thing - they absolutely believe!

Oh no I never knew that...I can’t believe he resigned

This unity is what brings premierships...I’m really starting to believe that 2021 could be our year. Internal belief by players with such huge value on the open market speaks volumes of our club. I’ve doubted Goodwin as recent as last year but the important players have the belief in him...I love you Tracc

Well said TU. I believe an appeal is well worth it in this case. He is such an important player for us

Have to appeal

I don’t disagree with you. Just think the bad outweighs the good at the moment. It is a tough call. I see Spargo as the guy who play a similar role and plays it way better atm in my opinion

And was directly responsible for north goals due to taking the easy option. Zero defensive accountability or hunger. Flies for the hero mark and goes to ground way too easy for mine

Sparrow could become one. Harmes was for a few months in 2018. Brayshaw is also good depth although he was real bad today

Sparrow is the answer in place of Viney. I watched him the other night for Casey and he was a class above...dominant. He is hard at the ball and has good defensive pressure. Sydney will be a tough game. I thought we looked lethargic today and might be due for a loss. Melksham should get dropped. Taking the easy option in every contest and trying to take on the tackler all the time is infuriating. I don’t care how good a deliverer you are if you cannot provide any defensive effort...his half tackle, half bump thing is stupid...sorry for the rant

Absolutely gutted for him. He is shattered

Salem has been very good again
