I seem to remember 40-odd points not being enough lead last year at 3/4 time against the saints in the ones. Surely it couldn’t happen to Casey as well!

don't agree re Hogan. He is not slow and probably does more km's than Oliver in a game. Please don't lump him in with Oliver. I was at a GWS Swans practice game a couple of weeks ago and spent my time watching Oliver. I reported he was always 30m behind the play. He is slow and looks unfit by his performance that evening. He looks no different to what we saw the last couple of years.

... not that we are advocating betting....

You know what? I have NFI what the status of our new home, and our possible temporary home, is. Conflicting reports leave all of us trying to figure out who is correct. And it's doing my head in. So i'm not going to give it another second of thought until an official announcement is made.

Happy birthday GW - may there be many more ( and if you are only 21 then there should be!). Hope your birthday wishes come true.

If anyone is interested, I have released a six-pack EP on Spotify and the other platforms earlier this week. Album called "Words One", Artist's name "Words of the World". Never done this before so would be very interested in what DL'ers think.

i don't get a choice - I'm told they belong in the fridge

If a move to Waverley doesn't affect the Caulfield project, then I am all for it. Why shouldn't we take the opportunity to have our own facilities, rather than sharing, being disjointed (admin) and playing on a paddock? It also becomes a fairly decent fallback if for some reason Caulfield falls over - until we find something better.

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)

Did Picket write this?

..or...........?....
