Seriously I would rest 5 and 13 for 2026 out of respect to our recent decade long champs who deserve this respect for their role on us becoming a premiership team. There is no doubt we would not have won that flag without them. Lita treat our players once retired or traded with the Royalty they deserve. I will be interested to see what others think and childish salty and “ fed up” fans need not reply. Don’t waste your ungrateful breath. Thanks Trac and Clarry a decade of wonderful achievements and performances. Always welcome at the Dees as true greats.
You are determined to cheapen this selection lorn. Why not look at the pluses ? 29 yrs still playing good footy at Saints but just been relegated in their pecking order by younger types like Darcy Wilson and Nas. Has been traded due to his experience to “ teach and mind” the kids. Harvey Duke Kolt and X plus any mid recruits. Would be a natural VCapt and Leadership Group member now that Trac Clarry Gus etc. are no longer on our books. Although he is not fast he still will be valuable as an inside midfielder just not when JV is in the middle though. Not sure what other positions he can pinch hit in but will be surprised if he is not a one trick pony. Time will tell. Actually wanted to come to Dees rather than try to stay at Saints at this stage of his career. With their recent recruitment that is a big plus. So he is a very solid citizen who I think has attained AA stays in the 20’s.
You didn’t correctly read his post previously. Said he would not take any WA kids to avoid heartache later.
Very bloody true Bubs
Thats what our new CEO can do write a letter to 57,000 members but make it as if it’s just to you. His ability to communicate through the mail and social media plus make it simple and meaningful is elite and already he is proving a very good choice as CEO. We know Paul’s history and CV in the business world so it is no surprise he is comfortable in communicating with our membership, Some of the D/Landers saying it is not necessary and didn’t tell us anything we didn’t know are churlish and salty and shouldn’t even be worthy of receiving mail from our recently acquired impressive leader of our administration. Stop whinging and get behind the Club as it fights to return to respectability and relevance in the toughest sporting competition in this land.
That was a Goody philosophy that has hounded us in selection and game style and put us back 2/3 years. We are trying to bridge that gap in fast pace and so knows some of our new selections plus our youngsters may still provide some Demom Spirit that makes thst happen. Every new player we get in tongue Club are like gold. They have no baggage. King is working overtime in moving on and it just may be the master stroke that turns our fortunes around. By golly if we could just snag BH tonight I honestly believe our prayers have been answered.
It can’t it’s for 5 years get used to it that’s why we have moved so steadfastly on this track It won’t go away.
It could be worse it could be that grub Maynard !!!
The very time when we need all the support for the bect season you are weak enough to pull the pin. Thanks for your support I hope we make the Finals and you miss out. I don’t accept that automatically we will struggle in 2026. We are not a 14 th side and can turn it around firstly by playing more aggressive footy and winning the close ones. Secondly our youngsters have to improve and existing older players reach form and confidence. I think Kings coaching could be quite a revelation. Let’s wait and see. Get your ticket to ride though it will be a great journey to see the outcome without the fickle ones!!!
You gave no understanding of this financial arrangement. It will be $600,000 per the next 5 years to pay off at least half of his salary as he is on $1.2m per year. Sorry to advise you of this but it is a fact.
And exactly what position is CJ going to play if not HB? Wing might also be his position but only either HB ( partly his Hawks best) or wing might be a good fit. He may not replace Howes or Salem or Bowser or AMW at HB but his mission must be to get the ball by hand or foot forward quickly and cause some chaos. We have tried slow chaos disastrously since 2022 so how about some speed from the centre with The Duke and CJ and the young onballers class. Some precision from Kossie Riv Culley and more disposal errors from JV and Sparrow. We need our mids to take advantage once and for all from the advantage of Maxy1 and new boy Maxy2 Heath who I am really bullish about. He will surprise up forward I predict bring a beast who can kick goals.
Really that is the most bizare prediction of a future forward line I have seen for a Club that would be going nowhere. It’s a look like Werridee on steroids would include once a new player came into the Club. Trying to justify being all players are in their correct roles so that is a valid line up is almost sickening. Then adding B ???? With Kolt and Lindsay and a tall player is even more crazy. A mix of from JVR Mihocek Heath Kentfield Fritta Langford Kossie McAdam Mentha Jnr and Chin plus Jeffo if he develops would cause the opposition to start really worrying. I don’t really care what “their best position or role” is just the mix makes it exciting to contemplate. Naturally the connectivity with the mids and defenders would have to improve for the team to benefit from greater scoring potential. Accuracy as well.
What are you whinging about Lasso. We are not privy to all of this by play and each trade has its own life expectancy. If you gave up every time a Club said NO initially you would never ever get that player. Chances are Melb want a player and if Humphrey is not keen himself the deal is off. If he is keen as he is indicating with recent evidence of some back to Victoria home issues and wanting to return then it alters the landscape immensely. In addition if BH is eventually counted out then Walters Read Rogers are possibilities for consideration. It backs up our trade package to have a player and pick as a desire for negotiations. Not just 2 picks. That’s in GC head now so becomes a less of an issue in talks required. The tan pictures were obviously a quick on the run chance of a meeting to set things going and it was sprung by some fluke photos. All is well may just end well if we are successful. Lasso that does not indicate we have had discussions with GC yet on options but merely an offer/ suggestion of where GC sit. Where have you seen as a result of discussions we have reacted.? I have not seen that possibility at all yet. You don’t appear to understand the posturing that has gone on. Also Demon Forever seems to be on the case. Instead of formulating your own critical description a read of DF before you doctoring might be more realistic.
