  1. That's the problem Dr we LOST BY 8 POINTS no cigar !! Us vs Eagles Crows Pies and Dogs these errors and disposals and other minor errors have cost us these games The coaches have not improved us one iota really this year Name other than Salem who really is playing better footy this year than last ?
  2. I love Trac but to ignore his woeful set shot record for goal from about 40 metres out or closer is unacceptable. The opinion is spot on and the Coaches and Trac are in delegation of duty on this one. After Maroochydore I asked ( very wrongly) after training when Trac was high fiving and signing autographs how his kicking for goal was going. He abruptly said "how do you think it's going" so clearly he has a phobia or is well aware. But the fact is it has not improved this season so when is it going to?
  3. He cannot turn The Queen Mary turns in less arc than Frosty and we already have enough wasteful players in the mids and forwards at goal kicking! Petty to go forward please and May a possibility in desperation. 13 goals wins this game !!
  4. Really what you are saying SPC has great merit. Its all about intensity and physical aggression to make himself the best footballer mentally as well. Once all these skills kick in he will as you say go to another level. Really impressive game last Sat and he didn't make the errors of pre bye rounds.Looked confident mature and kicked that goal fully in control of his task. Along with the re set of the team, very necessary tweaks to our game plan the team looked more assured and performed at times accordingly. Any one who says that the Final 9 rounds do not matter and that the season is over does not know anything about competitive sport. 2019 will not be a wasted year if we can salvage say an 11/11 result and get more games into Baker Lockhart Petty Hore Dunkley Lever May Preuss Maynard Weideman And Tim Smith. Sparrow won't get time due to injury disappointingly. One last observation Take a look at Frosty's last quarter especially Remind you of any one ? You bet Jeremy McGovern! Before you laugh look at his mark and play on through the centre which resulted in Tommy Macs last goal and line it up in style with the Eagles match winning style in the GF. Not that much difference eh? Well the recruitment of Stephen May and fitness of Jake Lever will enable a freed up Frost to play that gunshot style which will break lines and get our forwards moving with daring moves. Ill be very surprised if our defence (which since the Richmond game has been pretty frugal but still brittle won't be a significant factor in our long term revival over 2019 and beyond. Watch this space!!!
  5. Ring the Club Membership Dept. There are often 2 or 3 areas in the ground that visiting fans sit. Mostly it is at the Vulture St end ground level or in the top section at that end of the ground.
  6. Criminal No doubt that decision framed Joel's season. And you can understand his father being upset. Does not look like anyone has paid a price yet!
  7. Fourth tall defender Harry Petty
  8. No you shifted the goal posts Dockett!
  9. Just because you are lacking spirit don't deprive kry players a chance of playing snd contributing to a possible win in a marquee match!
  10. And repeat the Jack Watts performance!!! Ridiculous suggestion
  11. Thanks a lot Rusty seems a fair sort of ranking with the results you gave pretty realistic. My question re the Defensive Coach was tongue and cheek but the last 5 games since Richmond the defence has been pretty good considering injuries with today 5 first choice not available. Agree that other parts of our game ( and the game plan also) are well below par. Mids and forwards have no connection and most players are well behind 2018in form due to pre season ops fitness or feeling the pressure of expectation maybe. Hopefully the injured will mostly return so the last 10 games should be much improved. Much appreciated your kind response Rusty and Go Dees.
  12. Correction seems as though he is focusing on handball! We have enough of that already who overuse it and complicate a simple game plan!
  13. Prey Rusty can you tell us all what Oscar's 2018 and 2019 rankings are? Also our Defensive Coach how's he been going the last 2 years!!!
  14. Looks like NO expectations McQueen!!
  15. That's the problem we need something better and more exciting plus potential for the next decade!!
  16. FGS Pedo was getting old and time to move on Yes great servant but please our problems this year are many but missing Pedo has not had any effect on our 2019 performance!!!!
  17. Sorry for my ignorance but who is Sideshow Bob a mythical full forward?
  18. Sorry meant AVB not ANB and man on man not man in manMeant!!
  19. One of the best full forwards going around. Has his weaknesses as best man in man not in packs but it's all about getting good forwards in the six positions with the defenders taking the one two and if needed three talls. Brown is accurate, a good to very good mark, but is not good on the ground. Tommy Mac can still play his role and IMO Weid would still be able to play most games or Pruess swap to give Maxie some rest. Its all about options and depth and 3 quick smalls (crumbers and runners) to choose between (Like Tigers or Eagles) plus Trac Melk Hannan Lockhart and ABN if fit gives variety and depth. Would need to pay Brown $750,000 about to leave but for all of Jesses potential and fluster this would be a quick fix worth looking at plus a new forward Coach mandatory in this plan.
  20. I happen to think he is a very good coach. as we have had to endure the 17 consecutive losses from the Kangas mostly from his coaching I have thought his irganized he team was and hard to stop momentum when they played well. Really they ate up teams like our 2010 on versions till 2018 when we finally had too much ability and a game plan! Its as much as the Clubs admin and recruiting that this situation is reached.No superstars topping up a good average list since the four oldies were discarded. Maybe Brad should have gone with them! Would the Dees be any better under BRAD than Goody? I tend to think YES because he would have lost patience with the skill errors and lack of team acts plus our mental fragility would be a bit more bruised I think. I also think that the Kangas would be a whole lot more exciting with Goody as Coach than under Brad. Dream on Maybe he could be one of our Assistants next season handling the mids!!! Or forwards!! Or defence!!! Scott will no doubt gat another gig not sure it ircwill be as Senior Coach though. As I Live in BrisaVegas ( but never ever considered switching to Lions even in their 3 peat heroics) Brad And Chris would be night hand players fit the Dees I can say. Brad for his decade at Roos 7.5/10.!!!
  21. Get Ben Brown To the Demons ASAP
  22. 5 pm I think
  23. You could easily find out Perts achievements on Cwood site or maybe Wikipeadia Pert was CEO for Pies for a decade or more and wasn't sitting on his behind as theurcmenbership more than doubled. aThey upgraded their headquarters at some stage and Pert could have had a say in that. Dud PJ have the quals to do the same job ? Not sure but he started the investigation to get us the training and admin centre. This is not a normal communication from the Board/CEO with much being done in the background usually to consider locations etc, etc. Dont feel so underprivileged much has changed in communication in 50 years!! When the time is right the members will be informed and jumping up and down will not necessarily speed up or facilitate the result. Concentrate what we are best at and there supporting our Club at a very important gsme on Sunday. The bigger picture will be revealed to all in the Clubs good time!!
  24. Petty will be part of it and hopefully Fritsch is up forward !
  25. Emotional debut for a Qld draft prospect finally able through fitness to get his long promised and wished for AFL chance. Will fit in at the G in front of the MCC and Club members in the Northern and Members Stands with his dash(speed) and red hair delivering to our forwards and hopefully kicking goals. Could we'll be one if the pieces in the puzzle of our future team adding that "Isaac Smith" style dash we need. Promising debut and as his Dad said in perhaps the most emotional debut speech I have heard just have a go! Oskar did just that and he will already be a fan favourite this week and we'll beyond. Sad I have to wait till Queens Birthday to see but let's keep the form up and nail those opportunities.
