The Swimming Dee

Have you seen him play? Who cares what he looks like? When he was at Adelaide he was selected in the All Australian squad and was playing as an elite intercept defender...probably the best young defender in the competition...and you want to talk about his complexion. Maybe you prefer the Brent Moloney types, tanned and with big muscles. I for one cannot wait to have Jake back in the side. He is going to be a very good player for us for a very long time.

Spot on Onion, they are similar in many ways...power forwards that could dominate but don't. I hope those words don't come back to bite us on Saturday.

Walker is and always has been an average footballer. I’d be more worried about Tom Lynch he is a gun!

Viney is a very average footballer at the moment. IMO he is also not a leader. I’d love to see Lever get the gig in a year or two...he is all class

Don’t even look as though we are trying. This is disgraceful

Hopefully he gets a run at it DV8. He has been very unlucky until now. All the best to yourself

Simpson is all class imo

Yes he did - aggressively. Good Captain’s act

I agree that Smith provided a good target. Hopefully he is available for selection next week, the poor bloke just cannot get a clean run at it

6 - Gawn. The most dominant ruck game I have ever witnessed live. He destroyed two ruckmen, both at the coal face and around the ground. Sometimes I think we do not celebrate his greatness...he is a special player! Maybe the best player we have had in the last 10 years 5 - Hunt. A revelation as a forward. He has resurrected his career at the MFC and I am happy for him 4 - Hore. A very good intercept defender. He reads the ball so well in the air and has real courage. Has cleaned up his disposal also 3 - Harmes. Becoming our most versatile midfielder 2 - Oliver. Messy but provided great forward drive and I love the bloke. He will get better. Easy to forget he is so young 1 - Frost. A flawed genius. The chase, tackle on petrucelli, followed by the kick out of bounds sums him up. Great effort though

The most risk averse player in our team. The stalling is momentum killing especially as he is used on the wing which is a link position

In - Jake Lever

Good stuff Pennant. Go Dees!

Yep it’s cold here tonight that’s for sure...much colder and more dewy tomorrow night also...looking forward to it. Agree on Preuss

We excel at going ugly inside 50. The challenge is to get it in quick enough so that the forward line is not clogged up. Ball movement needs to be quick off half back with run and carry through the middle of the ground and getting the ball in deep entries. Shallow entries and the boys will see the ball flying back over their heads quickly. We need to play a high risk, high reward game with Frosty as the sweeper. He has the pace required. I can’t wait to see Baker, Petty and the game plan we bring

This is what I think it will be too. Also think this is the best case scenario

Agree Moon, thankfully Barrass won’t be playing though...injured

6 Oliver 5 Salem 4 Jones 3 Hunt. The move to the forward line has reinvigorated Jayden 2 Gawn 1 Frost

What the hell just happened

Season over

OMac no intensity again

Viney absolutely rubbish

Not sure I’ve seen Brayshaw play a worse game...he has been terrible

Stretch is no good

Viney has done nothing
