    Thanks Daz. ( I am from Qld but ex Vic of 27 years.) Is SFL like the old Federal District or SEFL.?

    Yes that's correct he did say that.

    People are muffed by the expectations of Petty for us (from many in D/L ) either in defence or attack saying pretty negative things about him! But I am certainly extraordinarily and completely amazed by one or two D/L ers with a desire to recruit Marley Williams. Not only dies that make it his third Club he butchers the ball Even more than any one on our list but is rather error prone. I would compare him even unfavourably with Josh Wagner!!! Whats SFL ??? anyway,
  4. DeeTox look at my post re goals on the run and IMO I think Ben is at least as strong as Weid Tommy Jesse Bailey and Maxy. I would say I think May and Lever are slightly stronger marks but it's the overall total taken that's important after alI. I suspect your misgivings will be erased Both in strength and style of goals.

    Will be a once in a generation player like NicNat Trac or Clarry May well be our best outside mid by this time next year!!!

    Surprising how much depth you need during 22/25 games in a season. PlanB can be sufficient but often Plan C is needed like in 2019!
  7. Jumbo A Coleman Medallist Indeed? Last Dees winner Neita!! Was he a gun footballer you betcha!!
  8. DeeTox Brown had injury and personal family issues which affected his form. Dont remember Lockett or Dunstall Getting any more than 25% of their goals on the run! Far from it. Will give other forwards a lift as well as get 45/50 plus I think.
  9. AF Whats wrong with Fritschy? He has been our best forward fir last 2 years even with poor kicking fir goal And underwhelming forward line coaching and development. If he puts on more weight it will help his body strength in marking and tackling . Also his kicking is mainly in his head. He needs practice and confidence plus bring taught the smarts ie not leading to pockets. Will be a major strength of our team once these issues are worked on.

    Where does this leave our future star Harry Petty? CHF or CHB ? It will be interesting to see what happens in training in Early 2021. Hope Goody and coaches have an open mind and don't label one or the other categorically like he has Joel Smith. I would be quite happy to have both as swingman as Tommy Must be a reserve ruck also it looks like.

    RDB and Kent We didn't recruit Jacko to be a full time wingman Mainly ruck forward and around the ground with some Forward play fir goals, Very occasionally as a mid.
  12. Sort of thought that a bit thanks DC but I some times don't have time on here to have to decipher some D/Lers humour vs serious comments.
  13. Because Daniher was always going to Lions .... ..
  14. No improvement from our youngsters and the Ben Brown effect?

    Haven't you heard ? Mike has retired about 3 weeks ago when Gerard and Robbo from AFL360 interviewed Mike in a final hour show on Fox 504.
  16. was probably Round 22 Last round before Finals in 1998 I think.
  17. Great postWells Sensitive and positive and Like every Dees supporter I can't wait to see Ben strut his stuff with our other forwards on the G in 2021. If Bayley and Sam and Jacko plus the rest of the forwards have not started Walking a foot Taller already I'd be surprised. A sort of Restart to our 2014 journey This time with a final chapter and happy ending in a year or two!!!
  18. That's like some people ruling Tommy Mac out of playing AFL this year. Each season a team or player starts From scratch and can train and play practice game/s so well that he Can't be ignored. Yes Harry will do well to play Round 1 but he would be desperate to No doubt. Deep down Tommy likewise Imagine if the 2018 Tomny returned with Harry and BBB at full forward how good would our chances be fir the Top 4???

    We have recruited a smart player with ability. Long May he lead our attack!!
  20. 2021 STARTING ROUND 1 B Lockhart May Hibberd HB Lever Petty Rivers C Langdon Petracca Baker HF Salem Jackson Fritsch F Pickett B.Brown Weideman Foll Gawn Oliver Viney Inter Brayshaw Harmes Hunt Tomlinson Emerg Melksham T. McDonald Jones Sparrow. Others Van den Berg Hore Neal-Bullen Spargo J.Smith M.Brown Jetta Jordon
  21. Kent and Gawndog Jetta is cooked didn't you see the last 2 games played in 2020? courage alone no pace. Lockhart in BP Rivers HBF Salem to wing or HF. Much needed pace In team.
  22. Sorry ODee Whst plane didn't you come down on??? All those players had warts or potential problems they magnified them fir the salary recap to fit in DeGoey snd others. Also Bucks was the messenger with trumped up reasons. They needed scapegoats and Treloar Stepho and Phillips were the easy ones that they exaggerated their '"sins" and who were clogging up the salary cap. It was easy then to throw Jaffa's grandson off the list to make more room. Hsd nothing too do with revitalising the list !! As planned by Ned Guy.

    Why isn't LockhartOk? He was just not played by Goody near end of 2020 and that wasted an opportunity for him to get games into him. Jets is really at end sadly and Jay is the best small Forward minder On the list. Agree with nearly all of rest Though.
