CB You wanted AFL acclaim ? How ? I have responded about our fico not the AFL's.

Brown was not that bad 3 goals from sniffing and competing the ball. Did ANB do thst no! Spargo promising Defence Don't agree Thought Lever did well early then dropped off and came again Hibbo By far the worst of the defenders and wasted the ball! Oscar's opponent got a point !!!! Lockhart will be and was a good contributor and was busy. Looked positive kicked well and broke game open on occasions Well done Harmsey Quiet by his own standards I still think he is best on ball and resting forward

Sorry CB it's on the AFL website in a prominent position not far from Maxy's Captaincy announcement. Fies Gill or Shocking have to promote it ? Thats our job and the Club's!!!

And what spots don't you want HB to pop up at DW. Maybe the NBL ? He was just asked to train when Stephen May and he were at a game prior to Xmas with another player Nev Jetta I think. But tough he has done everything right and if you believe what you see in the doco then he is more than all in and totally emotionally involved. Your comment was really not necessary IMO.

No it's not a new way. Our Women's team have given up 3 possible years of Finals football by wasteful and haphazard forward line displays featuring inaccurate kicking like on Friday night. Each previous season had featured us clearly the better team but being wasteful and clueless on how to knock goals. Dame problem and if Mick doesn't get it right the same result will happen ie We will finish with nearly enough wins or be out of the final 3 on our Conference. Over to you Mick and Ladies fix it or fail!! And if you don't you should fall on your own sword Mick.

Did he know that this would be in the Series? You can't necessarily pick and choose if you want to show it warts and all. Do you really think Nathan Jones and Tom Mac will organise a rebel meeting in protest? Thry are so relieved that the Club has moved on and are mature enough NOW to cope with this ground breaking Series which as most people now admit is one of the best decisions and productions in our recent history. Thats despite some petty talk about the title which was really "a little storm in a teacup" by some nit picking comments!

Profound apologies OD and Wiseblood. Perhaps I should catch up With DL a bit earlier in the day. Hope it's great season Go Dees

Trump you are still crapping on with fake news like your counterpart Perhsos a 14 day quarantine might rejoice the positive vibes for the Dees

That's why they have the 4 year Plan Rodney!!!

That is a ridiculous statement Why have a leadership group then? OD not much knowledge gained in your many years ! Wiseblood time to change your name to Not very wise blood ! Seriously guys good Leadership groups set standards and maintain them. Have a big influence out on the ground if they do their job properly. Poor old Luke Hodge Ron Barassi (and Stephan May) must be wondering what Leadership is. in good Clubs it makes a big difference. Perhaps last years Leaders efforts have dulled your judgement and memory after watching the Dees

Mach 5 is like Poita and a couple of others on this site. They criticise most Club decisions And are negative By and large. Only offerings are over the top generalisations, and comments not backed up via any source or detail. Basically all fake news and unsubstantiated opinion!!!

Are you serious 64? In sport athletes have to train and prepare! What else Do you want Pete season to be? sitting around the centre circle playing poker or maybe two up?

Most Eagles games are betw 50,000 and 56,000. in 2019 From memory our crowd was about 51 500 odd. I would expect about 53,000 Or certainly no More than 55,000 but it is an opening round. Good luck Whoever goes and enjoy the game snd day They are by far the biggest whingers and biased crowd in the AFL do if we Knock 'rm off We will have earned it.

No I don't think it's that simple Dr Their Etihad/Marvel Staduim deal has hamstrung them for years. (As has Bulldogs and Kangas) but it's o lot more difficult to get supporters to go in numbers to Their stadium than the G.But fair is fair and we have been at the G for a lifetime and when big Clubs play us or we are firing hosting bid Vic Clubs we can draw large numbers as 2016/17/18 showed. Plus we have I believe a more engaged supporter base. (2019 did not show that in attendance as most of the 52,000 stayed away (about 30,00 to be honest) in droves once we were in our malaise of losses and no longer looking like succeeding as expected. But Saints are a rare beast and seem to cobble together a team and Ability to survive irrespective of their teams results or ability. But when dies judgement day come to them!!! $12 million in debt!!

So TGR you have researched the Cats and come up with 2 INS and 2OUTS. Remarkable Selwood and Hawkins in the draft and lost Kingsley and Riccardi Surely that is only a small summary of the movement in personnel. HOWEVER let's compare on this flimsy base !!! Dees IN Langdon Tomlinson Brown ( at least as good as Kingsley) and not even considering Harley!!! PLUS Jackson Kossie and Rivers PLUS Injured most or whole of season Vandenberg Sparrow and May OUT Lewis Frost Stretch Garlett. Reckon it's about Even (or we are ahead ) as long as you consider Selleood snd Hawkins as recruits in Year 1 and not the finished product of today. Further pluses for Dees Well documented Surgeries and near worst horrific injury list which resulted in lack of fitness and compatibility of team cohesion virtually all season. Pluses For Cats I Must add that many of their existing list was comprised of players that emerged that year as once in generation Geelong (And AFL ) greats. Improvement is necessary in nearly all our 21-26 year olds if we are to contend as in 2018 but most Demon fans would back Trac Angus Weid Jack V Lever Salem Harmesy Fritsch ANB and Clarry to all have better seasons in 2019 than 2020, based on fitness (and availability) alone. 2018 showed more than a glimpse of our potential if we are fit and have a good run of availability. FWIW I am confident we will improve considerably in 2020 but a Premiership yes it's a chance so let's go all out and get that 4 year Plan underway as successful as possible.

Ridiculous ! Aims are Finals snd one Flag! 5-8 could be 14/15 wins for season ! better than 5???? bloody oath

MD you are overlooking that it is ALL levels at that City End . Virtually all the Ponsford Stand other than the MCC members part . Also we do have our members area in the Northern Stand to the left of the MCC which we have had for years for members.Hopefully we will need more in future years.

Would we be able to get Admin space in the new plan for the Great Southern Stand? Even Social Club area.Allocation ? Oh and train for closed sessions and special occasions on the G snd still use Goschs and Casey? And lastly Relocate the Demon Shop from its absurd almost underground hidden site! Now that's within walking distance of the G.

Please provide your posts indicating your opinion last year in pre season Drysdale Demon that we would have a poor season. BTW prediction for 2020?

This doesn't happen at all really unless it's basically a last year situation. Negotiations are held and the monetary side of the contract is worked out to both parties satisfaction.

Really PD I would hate you to be a Judge if I was being tried. Seriously short of Swearing on a stack of bibles what Harley committed to he has in every way kept his part of the bargain. What more could he do ??? Hope you believed your teenagers as they traditionally answer off handedly and without a lot of conviction. Please it is irrelevant how he sounded as his actions are speaking louder than words, as the last 3 months and the Club giving him the Opportunity. Talk about a Doubting Improper Dee!!

Not 65 years but 55 !!!

Bails was a scrubber good honest player better in heavy going as pace was his Achilles heal! Goodie would have loved him For his inside work in the packs.

Absolutely Dee.eee OX was great especially in the games in 1994 prior and During finals We're Wayne Careyesque. Have no doubt we might have snagged a flag betw 1994 -2000 if Ox had been without injury. Yes he would have been a candidate to be in Our best 5 ever players up with RDB Robbie Ivor Warne Smith Don Cordner Smithy Beames Mueller Jimmy and Maxy and Clarry after they retire.

Well it's already a fait accompli I reckon Brown and Harley have been offered list places for 2020. The injury rule for long term is another avenue which we will have to consider very soon I would think. A ruckman or Ben Sokol perhaps.
