58er

McAdam not mentioned.

Yes I would give Clarry a go up forward so he doesn’t have to run all day and of course Trac as well if needed. He finds goals when forward of the centre like kids find Easter eggs on a hunt. I hope McAdam can get into the team with his fitness. Billing’s prob a sure cert now In final 23.

Yes it’s Schache time. JVR and he might just click!

Finally over his injuries etc.

At last some sense SWYL . Where are all the vultures criticising me now. All I wanted is a move during the game to help us. ie Tmac off in 3rd quarter and Schache on. This is a variation of starting with Josh instead and the whole Gawn issue ( non issue IMO) has just been ignored now. And to think we had closed this book about 2 days ago. The Grundy issue was unfortunately a fail and there were no winners in 2023 but now in 2024 let’s see how things play out. Also to worry about Dermott Brereton tips of Pies and GWS in top 4 he has always favoured GWS as was an Assistant Coach there for 3/4 years in earlier days and also played a cameo year or two at Pies. He had never liked us sat all. We simply have to stand up and again start with injuries up forward incredibly so P- Man who would have you got on the off season other than Fullarton to bolster our attack and ruck to also help Gawny. Like you P-Man I will be there in Sydney on Zero Round still believing that Billingsand McAdams will help and JVR and Fritta who is flying can get us over the line. I think our system will be better this year also. Let’s hope Petts BBB and Tmac and Fullarton can all get back and give us some depth for our attack in 2024. We deserve some luck after last years Finals but it’s up to us to rectify. Go Dees

And you don’t win them by not being brave and making moves.

Too many what if’s Macca thinking if the worst, courage and free thinking are needed to win. What ifs and afraid of losing are symptomatic with lack of success. We have a choice and give me the first any day of the week.

Gawn coming off would be for a rest ( or he would have had to stay out there at FF. If not very fit) If he has had this broken toe for a month or similar this Was the first time any Sub cover was provided!! But to not use our 23 players IMO was much more positive than being caught with only 22 or 21 eligible players for a quarter or less say. Goody himself at the forum for supporters said all we needed is another goal in many games. Well Goody you had a chance to try and manufacture one but didn’t have the bravado to try by using your sub. So Macca you won’t convince me any way about this.And I have the result to back it up. You only have Negative and complicated suggestions of not trying to win with no action attempted to make a change because you are afraid of losing. We always had 23 players and never had any less than 21 for any of the last 40 mins of the game if a risk was made which could have been a game changer.

Gee Macca you have just about shot yourself in the foot now. Tmac I have never suggested at half time but in the third quarter say 15 mins in. Whatever happens from then is the unknown but a positive move to get some forward scores and give Gawny a rest is made. Or Max rests in the Forward pocket and Schache rucksxand changes forward also. Remember Ted Hopkins bit different but Barass never would die wondering. That’s my point no bravado Goody seems to afraid of losing and the team can play like that often. Macca you want or like something real well I’ve offered my real solution, better the non solution offered by our Match Cttee and Coach. Let’s please leave it there and move on to now. We might have the same situation in a months time if we keep getting injuries.

Absolute rubbish Jack.

We use Schache. That’s what he was lined up to do. Ruck and forward.

Actually when posting previously I eodeted if that may be possible as Casey is used most frequently, big day on 18th it is a good move under the circumstances. well done DSHop.

Exasperated by the Mess there concerts have caused the Club . Must be some compensation for such a raft of inconvenience at this stage of season.

Yes Macca but if we had a full list it all changes. Imagine if we had 6 defenders out with May lever and Salo say plus 3!others ? Defence would look pretty poor. Don’t agree about your Tmac comment as said before you will never know of you don’t give it a go. Can’t believe you are wrapping up OD. He never makes or hardly ever makes a positive comment about the Club. He is a total shocker with many of his throwaways comments that are just off the cuff dreadful and so negative. I often pick him up on such comments that are of no benefit to our Club or admin or else. His pet subjects for constant criticism are Training ground publicity Too many Dees fans now at Dees games and the fixture not like old days plus the transport arrangements. Never how well we play or praise for players or other things positive. Sorry Macca but it’s all there in his posts. No 21 st Century solutions either.

Whoever runs and whoever located the Demon Shop where it is have no idea of business principles. they should have negotiated and got a demountable ( one exists near Gate 3) Surely they could have one located near the MCC members. Just seems as though they are taking a holiday as it is too long a break. Will they open up for replacement time like a Sale afternoon to get more merch sold? Also why didn’t they let fans know about it weeks ago so they could cash in before the shut down? Too much effort ? Can’t believe MFC have to move from their office spaces. That’s ridiculous. What about $$$ compensation from the MCC also to Admin and Demon Shop? Rant over but Pi.. off back to USA Tay Tay.

Rubbish Should have played from halfway through 3rd quarter instead of Tmac. Agree that injuries also contributed to our loss in both 2023 finals with forwards missing. In 2022 it was our fitness and many players unable to play a full game out due to their poor fitness and carrying injuries. Roost it Far is too harsh. The major reasons are our fitness in 2022 and injuries and poor forward work plus Sub not used in Semi in 2023.

ANB should be in the pocket and Kolt on the bench. If McAdam is fit he replaces Spargo and Trac replaces any of the mids/smalls as necessary.

Seriously OD is one of the most negative posters of all D/Lers. Posts that he believes Clarry is not going to be if any or much help as he won’t be fit and we will get b all out of him in 2024. Never a thought to welcome him back and let him know especially we( Ie OD himself) are behind him and wish him all the best. I can’t recall him re the flag in 2021. When did he make the call ( When Fritta kicked his 6 th goal). Sorry but I am bullish and if you like to go through my 2021 posts I was bullish and predicting a good season from pre season on not once but a dozen times in differing p osts. This year yes injury to our forwards is our biggest worry but even then we could develop our game plan and connectivity to win and kick straight. So good times ahead still I believe . Top4 and luck with injuries and we can win it.

Great photos thanks 6💙❤️

Duke is far better and goes so well with “Kolt”!

Surely Disco if not injured would Benin the mix for the third defender also on his pre season form and final game last year on the SCG vs Swans.

Why exactly please explain?

Go to some Adelaide replays/ highlights in the last few rounds last year when he was kicking goals.
