Got here mid way through the first quarter, and all I’ve done is watch Carrie and Hogan. I swear Hogan has run faster and further than Clarrie. Unfortunately to date I’ve seen nothing from Clarrie that says we made a mistake letting him go. He just doesn’t get out of a jog - just follows the ball from 30m behind. At this stage of the game (half time) he’s a shadow of his former self. Admittedly it’s pouring with rain but that hasn’t stopped Jessie. I wish he was still ours.

I’d be dumbfounded if Petty plays in the forward line @DeeSpencer - not when all pre-season he has played back. I’d suggest he starts at full back and TMac on the bench - or perhaps even Turner playing some time forward (as he did last week during the two minute rule).

Haha OD. Your pessimism levels have just about hit an all time high.

Happen to be in Sydney this week and just been invited to go see the Swans - GWS derby on tomorrow evening. With so many ex Dees players playing who wouldn’t. Hogan is my favourite, but I also have a soft spot for Clayton. @Ghostwriter , I’ll pass on your best wishes to Clarry (if he still remembers you) and I’ll add that I hope that he finds contentment at his new home.

Haha, GW, it didn't even occur to me that it was a typo. I honestly imagined Ross licking himself clean.

Hope you haven't just realised this Demonsone. I'm mean, its not like it hasn't been talked about, much. Hopefully you won't need to say the same words in 2027.

Now you have just gone and taken all the fun out of Sam’s post.

im watching it now on kayo.

Does anyone know who was acting captain yesterday?

I agree he had to go but please do not wish any further trouble on Clayton. Hopefully we gave him his wake-up call and he welcomes it with open arms. In the long term, I hope he is able to look back and thank us for this new start.

I don’t believe Kentland got any votes today OD. But Kentfield sure did.

Have to disagree with you ado. I thought JVR was pretty good today - showed great athleticism and leading patterns I thought. Very different looking player than last year. But do agree re Windsor and Jeffo - but need to rethink their commitment to get the ball. However, Kentfield impressed me. He looks a mile ahead of Jeffo.

Sorry Picket, but I'm seeing so much more in Kentfield than Jeffo.

I thought Heath really struggled with the boundary throw ins. The throw ins are all short, yet Heath has been behind Xeri every time. Needs to be smarter i think

Interesting to see who they name captain. Lever? Rivers? (Probably not if his game time is to be managed)
