Go Dees!!

Nibbler speaks SO well! He is a great communicator. He illustrates the mind set of the group really well.

Yeah, nah......

Great report Picket! We have all missed your calm, unbiased assessment of how the boys are training. Very glad that you are back from your holidays! 👍

We now have a midfield that easily rivals the most recent unstoppable midfield of Cox/Judd/Kerr/Cousins....but we will go deeper with Gawn/Viney/Oliver/Petracca/Sparrow/Jordan......and you can throw in Brayshaw/Langdon for good measure! These guys have the chance to be remembered by the AFL community for a long time as being one of the best engine rooms ever! I hope they achieve it!

I play golf at Woodlands, which is in Mordialloc, with a Glenn Boland.

Thanks Picket.....another sensational report. Much appreciated!

Good point! I had overlooked the mid season pick ups. I haven't heard that either of those guys had been re-signed as yet. Is there any word? If Declase can make it at AFL level he would apparently give us a lot of versatility in the positions he can play.

I don't disagree.....we are probably in a similar age bracket as I also had reached the stage of thinking that I would never see another Melbourne Premiership. Now, having tasted that sweet nectar again, all I want is another taste! I'm hooked! If a Melbourne Dynasty is to happen one of the ingredients for that success will probably come from this batch of recruits. So, whilst I'm definitely reliving this Grand Final by having the replay on high rotation, I'm also looking for another taste of that sweet nectar of ultimate success. Let's enjoy this long awaited Premiership......but let's do it again!

Don't worry....I'm definitely enjoying the moment, but if you think Jason Taylor and his crew aren't already hard at work working on next year's list you are crazy! We need to keep evolving and already have 6 list spots to fill. I'd definitely like to see some young ruckmen & KPF's come onboard. Give them some time to develop like we did with Gawny.

I'm obviously a VERY happy Dees supporter - as we all are. No longer is my favourite part of the footy season the trade and draft period. However, we need to keep evolving as a footy team and a footy club. So, what do we need to achieve in this off season?

No worries about giving Maysie a rest. I'm actually surprised a few other guys weren't "managed".....particularly a couple of the younger guys.

So, why was T. Mac sent for scans today? (Wednesday)

Yep....good point! ?

Lol.....Re-signed.....it's good news, not bad! ?

Resigned last week! ?

How good is this?? This is the kind of signing that keeps the recent snowball of significant signings rolling and growing faster and faster! Extend Kossie, LJ & guys like Rivers, Lever & S. May even further than they are signed for already and a new Demon Dynasty can be born! Go Dees!

Great reports! Much appreciated!

It'd be a Heartbreaker if he's not!

The Pies had some really good players come back into their team this week....Pendles amongst them.....our guys did a superb job from start to finish! There can be no resting......no over the top patting on the backs of anyone......keep the attitude....keep the desire.....when the opportunity presents, KILL the opposition! How long has it been since we have had 3 x 50 point + wins in a row? This is a good sign! We don't seem to be taking our foot off the gas right now when we get a lead....we seem to be hungry to make the lead bigger! Long may it last!!!

We know that it's very rare for all the players in the team to play where they are named. Does anyone really think that Rivers will play CHB? I think we'll see Tomlinson there again, ruck duties to be shared with LJ & TMac with around the ground support from other talls (at least TMac has the tank to cover some ground). C'mon folks.....this is tough going for every team....fitness right now is paramount! Teams with run in their legs at the end of each quarter, especially after half time, have the best chance of winning. How about we trust in our coaching staff and our fitness staff to put the best team we can onto the field. Get behind our boys in these really difficult times!

I can't believe the amount of Demonlanders who would like Fritsch dropped.......he is our leading goal kicker so far this season! We all know that we have struggled to kick regular winning scores so we don't need to drop the guy who has kicked the most goals this season so far. Sure, his conversion rate could be better, but this can very quickly even itself out. He is regularly getting the ball within scoring range. Give us a few more that do that and we will start winning!

Tragic news for the young fella! Let's hope he gets through it and becomes a player!

We do seem to miss a lot of set shots for goal, don't we? It would make a huge difference to our results if we could improve in that area!

Thanks for the reports, guys. It would be great to see AVB keep going in that direction. Love the sound of Petty looking good up forward - he could really help to take the pressure off TMac & Weid......or be a target for us if the opposition concentrate more on the other 2 blokes. I'd also love to see J. Smith catch a break and have an injury free season - he could be great value!

No probs, mate.......appreciate all the work you guys do......just really interested to see the boys go to the Christmas break in fine fettle. Hoping for a big week on the track before they take the break!
