Deep Midfield Issues
Which mid would that be ? Pray tell.

Harrison Petty
It’s killing a team of potential and spark. You don’t score you don’t appear fun to watch. Too much preservation over 5 years has worn us down and no confidence to attack for fear of failure.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
Many said this against Windsor ( and Robbie Flower). Yes physical development is necessary but not the only requirement for AF L selection. Jeffo has already commenced that this summer and put on about 6 kg. What he needed to do was start going in and flying for the ball plus following up on second and third efforts. He is doing that now and many here are lauding him for it also eating large doses of humble pie. The facts are if he plays another 5/6 games and converts etc. the surely he can be tried as say at half forward or even as a KP third tall to say Petty/ Disco L and JVR with Fritta as mid plus smalls around those 4. There is no log book saying like in races max. Or min. Weight. Ability and good timing in a career for both Club and player should not take a backward step if it won’t harm him in the long run. ( This up to the Club to not do another Jack Watts, of course and we have learnt that lesson the hard way. ) Who would you like in Round 17/18 say to debut? Jeffo Kentfield Fullarton as our third tall if necessary? I lean to Jeffo if Luker does not hit the ground running T Casey or Fullarton has kicked goals galore there also.

CASEY: Rd 10 vs Coburg
On yesterday’s form you should add.

CASEY: Rd 10 vs Coburg
Gee Thsts a big back flip Laze. Whilst I am disappointed that Casey can’t seem to win I actually believe that more players will be discovered out of this. Doesn’t make for team footy either sometimes but the good ones will survive and succeed quicker. AMW must be getting nearer. As always our armchair experts won’t promote home unless he removes a couple of smaller flaws. They never learn nor does Goody with some development in recruits. They are inconsistent especially in poor team. Would prefer AMW to be tried as a half forward or wing however as possible career more opportunities there. And we need anyone who can show goal sense, I suggest.

Key Forward Wanted.
How many games did Podsiadly win for Cats?, and when he went off in the GF Bartel was a match winner in 2011. Melksham if available is our Pod.

Key Forward Wanted.
King is not necessarily a better prospect than Naughton. What is he better at? Marking ? Splitting Packs ? Versatility ? Accuracy ? Team Play? Really not much between them and Aaron can play back as a possible champion. But Naught’s is not available in any case.
-
AMW!
What are his good points? Why is he getting high possessions then? Think of his good points not his not so good. Please respond.,
-
AMW!
Train him to excel at half forward along with Kossie and Shane. Than we can ha ve him and Kossie in cameos or longer in future in the ball and up forward.

Welcome to Demonland: Shane McAdam
Footy Clubs pay on results and not on lovefests. As the resident gatekeeper to all players coaches and occasionally others you don’t have to defend every person let alone pull the good bloke and adoring players card. ICYHMI most Clubs are full “of good blokes and of being adored” by players. But in a W and L world results are paramount. And in this regard Staff has failed as a forward Coach. I won’t even attempt to list to support this fact our troubles are legendary despite nearly having our full list of forwards plus back man who I rate highly as potential or possible savours no visible improvement has occurred over 3 seasons. Perfect opportunity to change with new coach McQualter and get a different plan. But no another trick Goody has missed or will do too late, or as a reactive decision he is so good at. We all know the definition of insanity……..!!! WCW coming into this forum in your position does not mean you have to defend every person who you like to us others who don’t have inner contact or relationships. Our position is clear and I for one don’t doubt that 98 of 100 Dees players officials etc. are good blokes, ladies etc. They know they are in the public forum and despite that still put their hand up to do a job. The AFL Tribunal may excuse them ( like Clarke again!!) but as paid employees they are not paid to be good samaritans but successful coaches and players. If they don’t succeed on results they should be subject to criticism and their position based on merit. Staffs claims as a forward player are underwhelming and his coaching of our forwards leaves plenty to be desired. There is a time frame and it’s run out and the FD and Goody are dropping the ball on this one. I now expect your inevitable reply playing good guy to Staff and bad guy to me for my point of view but I am thicker than you and can cop plenty of criticism. But I am certain this one is a winner and what is needed is a mid season coaches draft change as necessary pronto!!

Welcome to Demonland: Luker Kentfield
Really that’s a useless injured one legged kick half forward who played at two unsuccessful clubs at the time and frustrated supporters and fans alike. How any one on the limited highlights could liken Luker other than name ( and part joking) to the most disappointing and wasteful half forward we ever recruited is beyond belief and in fact disgraceful. He is a completely different player a KPForward not a flaky flanker and if his CV is truthful plays a bit like JVR crashing packs. Good luck and welcome Luker to the mighty Dees.

AFL Mid-Season Draft 2024
Your priorities are misguided Recruiting in the MSD is not for Casey in the short term but MFC either short or long term depending upon needs. Daniel Turner was sort of both terms and most others have been short term.
