The Swimming Dee

We are in strife here

Corey Wagner take a bow

Petracca playing the best quarter of his career. Well done young man

Gee KK is miles off it

What the [censored]? No system at all

We may as well play no defenders

We are all at sea

Just watching Derm talk about Petracca. Is there anyone that talks more turd than Derm? He is so unlikeable

Bloody nervous about this one. I hate essendon. Please get your game together lads!

This! Can’t believe everyone is so down on their selection. I thought Corey was pretty good round 1 and was unlucky to be dropped. His disposal looks clean which is something we lack and he was hard at it. Josh looks inboard a lot...we can do with more of that too

Being a Friday night game does the team get announced today or tomorrow?

Looking at the injury list one of the guys we have really missed imo is Mitch Hannan. Has speed, smarts and can play forward or roll up onto a wing. Wish he was closer to fitness

He needs a stint in the twos. Needs to learn to be a team player

Get it done - long term deal! i have absolute belief that Goody is our next Premiership coach

May > Hogan

This is a excellent article about May’s journey. He seems like a quality human. He is going to be huge for our team and the club as a whole. Steven May is the bloke who minds the huge forward that we haven’t had for so long. If he was at the club this year we wouldn’t have lost in Geelong and probably not against Sydney or Port either. He makes us a hugely better side even taking into account the loss of Hogan. I really believe that we are one of the best three teams in the competition going into next year along with Richmond and WCE. May adds that surety we have lacked. I can’t wait to see our backline when they are all fit. Him, Lever, Hibberd and Jetta working together will be magic to watch. Some serious hard nuts!

Chook in Perth has always proved to be a reliable source. I met the bloke after our win against west coast last year and the bloke loves our club. I wish he was wrong but get the feeling g we are best to lose Jesse for what we can get. Whatever can facilitate the May deal and a little bit extra will do

He did live with Mitch Clark for a while if I remember correctly

Something doesn’t seem right here. Surely if this was true the Melbourne based media would be running with this by now. Doesn’t add up. Basil and Bell know each other well from their time working at the same radio station 6PR. Plenty more to play out me thinks

Those traits will be taken into account by possible suitors

Also one more question - does Hogan have go in him? Sometimes I am unsure

Many said they won trade week. My point is you said that you want us to be tough at trade week and many thought that both of those teams were last year. All that matters is we improve our list. Don’t get fixated on the one trade. Mahoney and Taylor have proven themselves very astute operators.

As I said we will have to agree to disagree. For me it is about winning premierships not trade week. Remember who was touted as the big winners of trade week last year - Port and Essendon. How’d that work out?

We will have to disagree. It is about the list being better next year than it was this year. That is the only outcome that matters. Proving you are tough in trade week doesn’t win you premierships.

Agreed but will not be a direct swap
