  1. Sorry your delusional. Maybe this site wouldn’t go into meltdown if we had a club to admire. It not just Goodwin it culture. It stuffed
  2. Sorry if u think there is anything positive in that game your kidding yourself. Playing a team who hasn’t had a top draft pick in 20 years. 3 goals in 3 quarters pathetic. We are a huge chance for wooden spoon
  3. And people are surprised. Lever weak as pxxx
  4. Absolutely agree. Who owns those decisions. May is the laziest footballer and Lever has no impact whatsoever. It has assigned us to another rebuild.
  5. This club was stuffed the day Roos left and anointed Goodwin. Absolutely appalling
  6. Thanks for the clarification. May and Lever set the club back years
  7. Can someone explain why we recruited Lever. Monstored
  8. Normal transmission resumed
  9. This season is a raffle. A real Smokey could win it
  10. How the hell was he allowed to go to Ireland
  11. Pretty average comment whether it true or not. I think we need to judge Lever after a full season. Sample size is to small at the moment.
  12. I like the look of this should stick with Jackson over Smith. Only other change Vander forJones sorry but Nathan is on his last legs. Sad to see
  13. Bin man that why Bennell is so important he hit targets. One of his passes was sublime yesterday. Connection is impossible with poor kicking. Saw Bennell interviewed after the game he seemed settled and happy. He and Pickett give genuine reason to be excited.
  14. Posters might well be right that it mean nothing but this club has a habit of lot of little issues. May drinking; not wanting to do pre season camp, Covid-19 breach, singing the song without the captain. Can you imagine Tigers doing it no way. Little thing matter and poor leadership by Viney let face it Max is hard to miss.
  15. Appear completely disinterested. During the half time break was wandering aimlessly while Goodwin spoke. To drop form like he has seem to point to other issues.
  16. Interesting toured the Lions facilities. That say it all not having comparable facilities is a major impediment to enticing players. It indictment on the AFL that the club is so disadvantaged in this area. Yes the club has a responsibility but Queensland clubs got there through handouts. Level playing field is a myth.
  17. Putting aside the technicalities if you win two premierships in three years there is no way you should get a first round draft pick under any circumstances. The whole free agency process debases salary cap and the draft. The rich get richer and you know the rest. The Tigers getting Lynch was beyond a joke. Good luck to them but once you reach the peak there should be restrictions to bring you back to the pack. Other than Tigers who built from nothing it is why we see team like Cats; Pies; Eagles; Hawks just rotate grand finals and premierships decade after decade. You finish top 4 say two years in a row there need to be some handicapping to even the playing field.
  18. I totally agree with your sentiment. What a litany of disasters those recruits have been. No wonder we are so putrid. The Dees have traded to get players but the jury is out on Lever and May. Our progression is heavily linked to these two. Let hope they fire because if they don’t the club has been set back years. Brisbane traded to get Cameron and Neale and look at their impact. Richmond have plundered the Suns and got Lynch and Prestia these two were instrumental in getting to the grand final. Just how Richmond got Lynch is still a mystery. Just show the impact of top end talent and why Lyon reckon Dees should stop recruiting mid level players and go after A grade talent like Whitfield. Let develop a strategy to trade our top draft pick for a gun as I have no confidence in untried talent.
  19. 76 stick in the throat we were on a serious role. More heartbreak.
  20. I watched the merge documentary on Bears and Lions. As bad as it is for the Dees we at least have our own footy club to follow. Watching the Roy’s supporters seeing their club become extinct was pretty sad. Is it better to follow a basket case of a club or no club. I keep reminding myself of that when we lose.
  21. Yes agree a bit like Toby Greene not getting rubbed out after Dogs game. The AFL did bank roll ROOS & Jackson but that only happened after we embarrassed their brand.
  22. I was lucky enough that my ability to understand footy crystallised in the mid 60s just after 64. The team from mid 65 through 69 was as bad as anything in the following decades. Finishes were 7th; second last; 7th; 8th; last. Think yourself lucky you missed this embarrassment.
  23. Geelong are an ageing team. They have eight key players over 30 next season including stars like Dangerfield; Ablett; Taylor; Hawkins and Selwood. They will also lose Kelly. They have not had a top draft pick for a generation. If Melbourne don’t go past them next year with a number two draft pick and a soft draw for being the second worse team this year what hope do we have. It would be an absolute indictment after years of rebuild if Dads army are better than us.
  24. Your making me cranky cranky. May kick a few out the back against soft team but absolutely no future with this guy. Certain delist IMO.
