58er

The only members forwarded info on the game are Qld based members as other states can't visit at moment due to lockdown etc. Did you ask the Mship Dept if it was only Qld members Rodney? Wed is the day gen public can get tickets through Ticketek. I got a complementary one ( as I am a 2020 member ) and got 2 other tickets for friends to sit with me on Monday at $30 each Good luck and go Dees

In all of this most people querying Jacko are vastly under estimating his ability to be a utility. That is a mobile ruck, utility, handy versatile, forward or around the ground plus a fantastic X factor. Indeed Jacko has the potential to be a once in a generation player viz Barassi or Jesaulenko or Matthews or Buddy or Brereton or Hudson or any major player of the AFL/VFL in the last 56 years of our history. Also examine the record of teams With above 80/120 goals or Coleman Medallist's and very few have saluted in GRand Final day. 3 or 4 years out of Stephen May could be enough to win a flag ( or two) with say Petty his successor. Look at GWS today and they are struggling at present and we could join them on 3 wins by tomorrow night and who would say our list is the potential of their AFL gifted amalgamation if talent! Please keep some faith and sensibility about trading and its irregularities. PS Seem to recall a guy called Lockett and he hasn't ever hung an AFL medal around his neck. Also another quirk is that Brian Lake win a "Normie" who would have thought that plus Chip Frawley kept Josh Kennedy to a handful of kicks in 2015. One trade decision does not prevent a premiership !!

Don't worry Satan with such a half glass empty attitude we don't have to look fir any "minuses" in the fixture when you are in the job! You have obviously forgotten the AFL mantra of being agile and flexible! FFS just accept the scheduling etc. as it is about the only way we will finish the season before November or the virus completely knocks footy out of The equation. Just remember whoever wins will have competed in the hardest and possibly most confronting Season ever and it will be judged as CB one of the greatest flags ever!!!

Contact Lions possible ballot For gen admission tickets ?

Sorry Kiddie means Kossie!

The fact is that Trac is now an impact footballer Get it in his hands and we benefit big time ie goals assists and team play with class (Don't know why he had a 40% efficiency in kicking as he did not seem to be under any more pressure ) Our big task ( or Goody's more to the point )is to get Clarry JackV Gus and Harmsey Up to speed say 75/80 % lime Trac is and to do what Jack and Clarry did compose themselves and make use of the ball. No doubt if This problem Can be solved or improved we will be a 20% better team and our forwards will benefit no end. Oh and Gawny must practice that quick handball and short kick to open up the play instead of his high looping kicks down the line. And actually all players need to get composure and skill in disposal like Harley. Loved the value of Mitch Hannan who had a very good team role and result orientated game As per a good half forwards. Kiddie is generally a good 10/14 disposal team player and will hit the scoreboard regularly very soon no doubt. So many potential positives out of Sat night but many a work in progress. How far we develop those Disposal skills and team play will determine a near finals berth or anywhere between say 8th and 4th!!!

Sorry DRev Oscar is at Full Back and agree re Letting Jake Find form. No forward line just fine let him start in the scratch matches up forward and he will earn a spot at some time Don't think he is bad kick or nothing he can't improve on. Could be great X factor move.

No it's not interesting BW511 To insinuate Jonesy has been gifted games while at Melb over his career Is cruel, Unforgiving and downright insulting. Since 2006 until now when has he played poorly enough that he would have been dropped for players such as Bartram Mat Jones Kennedy and James Magner. Did Nate keep out Bartram Kennedy Mat Jones or James Magner for instance to get to this total. NO so your idea has no Sense or merit and quite frankly will make most Demons fans feel sick at your Suggestion. Sometimes better not to say ( or write ) something if it' s not nice at all.

Careful what you wish for OD You would not be able to contribute your meaningless negative based comments each week No doubt giving you great satisfaction To your miserable life. Please go and barrack first the .....???? And not waste our time. Also as an older person it's typical just "Yhe world isn't the same any more type comment ". Let is barrack without such false opinions as yours in peace PLEASE.

We are wasting prob about $3/500,000 y Th his year with Richo Whose Saints game plan was hopeless also.

Yes but it would appear that he fought fir change and not surprisingly had been given his match in orders IOW Goody dies not want alternatives to his plans!!! That appears to be the trouble as there is no one else near him when the TV goes on him! Yes phones but no Macca down at ground level either !!

Totally agree NNN !

Totally agree CB. Henir any of his match day lieutenants (if any exist) don't seem to react on match days or even in training. When suggested that Smith be included up forward I now agree that his X FACTOR could be the additional piece in our forward puzzle. He could be a revelation and take much planning away from Tommy Weid and Fritsch. Plus Bennell and Kosi. Liked Hannan's game last week also. Goody seems to stereotype players and put in boxes and not look for the outside the box solutions. Hence no changes on Sat during the game. This must stop as it is foolhardy and nit positive to our Club. The assistants must fight fir this to be altered and msybe this has led to Jennings and McCartnry being changed and out of favour! its a start today with Weid and Harley and hopefully better forward days in the sun!!

Or Nev minding a 200cm forward like McKay of Carlton

Agree Clarry will be BOG or if not him Gawny.

He (JV)fellover about 6 times and lost the ball or passed under hurry so he wasn't caught . No poise or skill displayed.

Harmes !!!!

No CHB is Mays spot and he will attack from there with results. We will have heart issues probably with Oscar on King but as a goalkeeper he knows his job and so I also hope he takes the game on. Look for Lever to shine also now that 3 talls are there and Smith won't get in the road of everyone!

Well AF we haven't hit a great deal of time. The Coach must admit his Plan is not working and be flexible. He must swallow his pride and admit it and change. Right now he appears to be unchallenged and limes it BUT look at our system and plan and results. In addition we look horrible on the field no one will watch us if we play like against the Cats. Jennings was a master tactician and would get credit from our 2018 form and success. I would back him in and if Simon doesn't change and results don't come it will be too late as our young players will want to leave. Yhe fact is I believe EVERY Dees fan knows we are not 17th on ability but are bring destabilised by a selfish and stubborn Coach who should be given 2020 to solve the problem Or resign. And please take Alan Richardson with him, as he is a yes man I suspect and failed at the Saints with his plan which our plan also resembles with forward line shambles and accuracy.

Unfortunately Josh epitomises the Melb mediocrity Is Willing sort of hard at it but not greatly skilled and very average disposal. Has been lucky to survive this long on our list . Grest trier at best but not to build the future on.

Agree but also please Make changes when we are down. Prob needed at half time last Sat or even late in 2nd quarter.

Funny about that ODee the AFL are not sharing your get rid of the Dees quick quit scheme. Your negativity is no doubt based upon years of disappointment but your life is full of events that don't Go The way you like. We are at rock bottom the way we are playing and our players and Coach and game plan are not in symmetry but It can get better or we make big changes to ensure that things change. Forecasting the finish is foolish inaccurate and a waste of time. Our task from this week is to Improve and get together and solve the form and skills disaster. There are some good footballers on our list and it's up to them to start playing up to their ability and fir the game plan and selection to be more realistic. 2020 is nowhere near lost yet and anything can happen in this strange world we are in at the present. Show that you have learned from life and look positively not dismissively on our situation please. Us oldies look silly not learning life's lessons and having a half empty approach as it is not going to happen in the AFL much and all as you keep wishing it to eventuate.

Very good summary Poita especially the Goodwin summary.

Sorry it is a lack of confidence that leads to bad decisions as doubts creep in the more we fail. Of course intensity and concentration and physical presence create this lack of confidence coincidentally!!

Both are not school age But more pre school I think !!!
