Deesprate

Great post totally agree the level of disrespect for the reigning premiers make the mind boggle. A season is like the Melbourne cup. Pace yourself and time your run. Dees are sitting snug behind the leader and will unleash the shackles come September. If they do the collective brain trust of the media will be eating humble pie

Would there be so much noise about Fritta if he had kicked the goals. Kevin “Hungry” Bartlett made a career out of burning players. Yes it look bad but equating it to to the demise of our season (as per David King) is ridiculous. The best thing out of the weekend is just how quickly the pundits are burning us. Cats are evidently unbeatable even though we played poorly and were within a kick of them deep in the last quarter at Cat park. Goodwin must be loving it. First crack had us on the same level as Collingwood. People seem to underestimate we have the best full back; intercept mark; midfield, ruck duo and crumbing forward in comp. Cats are having a dream run with injuries so a lot can happen before finals. I guarantee our boys will peak when it matters. Yes Dees have a tough run home but nothing will battle harden a team more. Despite the piffle if we have a decent run with injuries and play to our potential no one can go with us. The fact that our recent form has been patchy has blinded many to the multiple levels of class in this team.

Great assessment. Was an awesome win in difficult conditions.

Melksham u rippa

Melksham Bedford haters suck on that rippa

I know be pessimistic is a right of passage on this site but OMG Kossie is so far the best little man in comp

If Dees win this game some people should re read their posts. Pathetic. Just to repeat we don’t play Grand Finals in July. Winning ugly is all we need. There is massive upside to how where playing

The home town umpiring helping Tigers. Eagles on a role and pathetic free kick against Nic Nat. Totally destroys momentum of game. Dusty off injured.

Great win Dees. Gutsy effort by BBB clearly sore but played his part. Weid competed hard and clearly sacrificed his normal game to help the team. The sniping on this site of these two pathetic. They both played their part something the snipers don’t want to acknowledge

The lack of quality ruckman huge factor. No Jackson or Gawn any team would struggle. It one of those 4 points games we have to tough out. Crows at home no easy assignment but a loss here will hurt season prospect big time. Damn injuries

Petty is a seriously good footballer

Lever doesn’t have a head

Playing poorly but some woeful umpiring. What really give you headaches is soft frees to them eg Daniher, downfield then blatant mark play on. I know I have red and blue goggles but we get shafted week in week out

Do we ever get a bone from the umpires. That free is paid yet the earlier push in back ignored. Pathetic

May out hurt but that last quarter was predictable. There is enough talent so can only conclude it mindset

Brayshaw outstanding but that about it

So many questions for the AFL or is this all window dressing with the club/AFL being forced to deal with it due to the imminent release on social media. If they were genuine they would force the player to answer questions under threat of extreme sanctions. Such as when did the club become aware of the issue; who supplied the drugs; are other players involved. Whenever these things arise it is the stock standard regent mental health issues and a pledge to do better. Two week later it all forgotten and the drug use just rolls on

Umpires caused that flare up. Complete failure to protect the player in the marking contest. We all know they are going to get a soft one next quarter. Great quarter Dees tough it out

It not the two points it the manner of our play

Pathetic clear50

2 goals 2 free kicks unreal

Brown underlines how good our depth is. That marking decision was feeble.

Just watching replay. The constant barrage against Melksham and Dunstan hard to fathom. They are depth players not world beaters. Both solid contributors some people need to take blinkers off. Dees are getting fair share of injuries post COVID but still undefeated. Building pole position for another crack at flag. That a fact despite some rampant negativity on this site.

I can live with Chandlers being pinned and driven into ground is about as dangerous as it get. The feeling as your pile driven and helpless is sickening. Whether it deliberate is beside the point he need to learn to tackle differently. BUT that one week for Ryan is stupefying. His actions were premeditated and deliberate. If you compare the two it is much worse. In our courts manslaughter ie death without intent is less than murder with intent. This decision is simply astonishing and appalling. It is pure dumb luck Bowery was not seriously injured. The MRO said it was careless it wasn’t it was premeditated hit. Get downgraded to careless why other than he a well known player and Chandlers a no body. The AFLis a freakin joke

Underwood also had Brayshaw packing his bags to join Freo. Embarrassing commentary
