I like @picket fence and find him an amusing poster. But if Matthew Jefferson makes it as an AFL footballer then I’m the Dalai Lama.

I mean this in a less narky way than it sounds, genuine question. What are Ricky Mentha’s strengths supposed to be? Cos he’s been done for pace a couple of times already and whenever I’ve watched him appears to be an iffy kick…

Bloke hasn’t even played a game and people are potting the club for not drafting him 🤣

Cal Twomey said the other day that even with the academy players, it's one of the weakest drafts he can remember.

Haha yes I’m wondering what ideas you have for the “something drastic” you’re threatening!

What are we talking Picket?

Mine too!

We just lost to the runaway leader of the competition by a point in a game where we were the better side for long periods of time. Is there stuff we need to work on to get better? Absolutely no doubt. But posts like this are just hyperbolic nonsense.

And 96kg. Have you watched him play Greg?

Brown’s a few rungs above Derksen. Would be a great get. Just goes to show GWS’ embarrassment of key position riches…

If you’d told me at the start of the season that after 11 rounds we’d be 5-6 but I’d be feeling as positive about the club as I am, I’d have suggested you got your head read. Just have to keep this momentum going Dees.

Yep the deebrief guys are always complimentary about demonland, don’t think anyone does or should see it as a “rivalry”.

Because he’s shown next to nothing when he’s played from the start mate. His energy shines through when he comes on for a quarter when the opposition’s tiring.

If Jack’s not ready it’s Tholstrup or Hendo for mine. Would like to see Hendo get a chance while we’re playing some decent footy unlike the ****eshow of the start of the season when that position was an absolute graveyard.

Totally agree that we’re moving past the point where we can have both Oliver and Viney in the same midfield. But it’s not Oliver who’ll find his spot in jeopardy. He can do everything Jack can do but to a higher level. Because of everything you say about getting minutes into all those others, who all make us better, for me Jack has to re-invent himself as a pressure forward if he’s going to keep himself in the 22.

I was pretty disappointed with the way Christian handled himself towards the end of last year. But credit where it’s due, he’s put his head down, bum up, gone to work and re-invested in his footy club. Congratulations on the milestone Melbourne’s only Norm Smith medallist, may there be plenty left to come 👏

We’ve got one of the best member to attendance ratios in the competition you peanut.

I spent quite a bit of time with him as his partner is the Mum of one of my good friends. Just a thoroughly decent man who made you feel important every time you talked to him. Interested in you, listened, asked questions. Usually with a twinkle in his eye. No longer in pain. RIP Wallsy.

How old Dazz?

Yeah Robbo said on the DeeBrief a couple of weeks ago that Greeny’s kid is very much one to watch in a couple of years time…

Jeff's separated with the mother of the boys, so an upheaval would be complicated...

Onya Sandra Sully!
