Not the world's biggest beer drinker but i'm sure i will pop in one time soon!

I've heard lots of things (about) "brewing" from a former Dee (Please realise this is a joke post lol)

Could be worse, i remember in 2005 when then club captain of Manchester United went on a infamous rant on the club's TV channel following a loss. The club had the video "deleted" but he went on quite the rant Criticized the keeper Called a few players lazy and said they didn't know their roles called out a player for thinking he's a superstar cos he played a good 20 minutes against Tottenham Said young players think they've made it but they havent criticized older players for not leading standards He didn't play for the club again but he was right with most of it aha. Roy, had very high standards and if you weren't matching them you'd know about it. He walked out of the Rep. Ireland WC squad just before the 2002 WC over preparations (diet and conditioning), strategy and the manager's competence. Gave a 10-15 minute blast of the manager too if you are to believe what is said.

If we had Ben Keays the club would need to employ a barber for him and Fritta

Wonder what our final home crowd will be. Will both sets of fans be checked out?

its the least they could do given how its played out so far.

I think he'd play a role in the first team, even if not every week. Worst case - adds a mature-body to casey midfield which theyve been devoid of all season.

Makes sense instead of going for Viney. If the trade/price is right i'd still take him even at that age.

Hate to be all Ted Lasso but i'd just tell them go out there make the supporters proud and have fun aha. I get its not super professional and very juniors-like but what else is there to do at this stage of the year. I'm anticipating quite a few changes to the list and gameplay next year so these 2 games are a bit meaningless.

Sorry meant he's stuck a bit low in the pecking order at GWS and wouldn't have that queue here. So we'd be able to offer regular first team footy etc

Definitely less of a queue for him at the Dees compared to GWS, think St Kilda also sniffing about

What exactly is the hand injury? I know the finger was dislocated in Feb/March but as someone with no medical training - anyone able to shed some info here?

"finally has surgery on his hand" - that was from late March wasn't it? Quite the delay! Lad has been in the wars this year

Ultimate clubman to his #1 club, his family.

Can they return him now plz

That’s not ideal or not great timing by life has a way of doing that surely top 3 in the b&f this season. No takers previously thank the lord as helped us win a flag.

They're still missing a piece of the jigsaw in the final 1/3rd

What about TRAC bound by conTRAC

Whilst admitted they haven't been vocal, which may or may not be a good thing depending on view point. I do regularly seeing Roffey at the player gates on the field after games, so confirming she is visible.

We've gone back in time!

Well seeing he won it, is it a continued curse of norm smith?

Been stress reading this thread all night and forgot to cook dinner, pizza on the way at least!

athletes have a shelf life and we signed up players when looking at a dynasty. Think it’s completely normal for an elite athlete to be frustrated if success appears to be getting further away from them. Whatever grievances he has will be compounded by the fact he hasn’t been able to play the second half of the season. Nailing this off-season is integral to getting back on trac (pardon the pun)

Given their injury list it'll be an interesting one to watch I reckon

Wish i had 8 mates who went for Melbourne! I only have 1 close mate who follows the Dees but he lives down Geelong way so doesnt come to many games.
