  1. Paxy is still our best player who is generally ON from the start! Not after 1/4 time and always in the thickest plays to benefit the team. It's usually tough possessions and they look just fine with no panic or risk. Would be still irreplaceable now but halfway into next season development still with Westy Liv Tayla Hanks and some part time mids May change this. But has Karan earned the right to decide for herself when she retires or moves to career betterment ( not possible really) at another Club. We await the next report whether this has any legs.
  2. Thanks a lot KM very helpful.
  3. 1,2,3,or4.!!!!!!! Any other questions? How many Flags will he play in at Melb. ?
  4. Fritta (59) nearly a Normie Fritta (55) 2023??? 60+
  5. Good luck Matt MJ Jeffer etc Can't wait to matches start and see you develop in the miighty Red and Blue. All the best.
  6. Definitely don't rule out MJ being the equal or better than Cadman. They both obviously look like slightly different players but both mighty fine prospects for the next decade and a bit.
  7. Have a feeling Magor is a JT type!
  8. Ta Macca He's in good hands with our mob down back. Love to see a reel playing forward at training or prac match once he settles in at Demonland.
  9. Agree rpfc but great upside In both boys who both look fine footballers with plenty of skill xfactors and appreciation for their respective roles in those very important key positions. Can't wait yo see their improvement under our/Casey system.
  10. That's what I (we) call a highlight reel!!
  11. Thanks Macca. Do you concur with most D/Lers on Jeds future and ability? Better than Davies with his upside? Or even or better than Busslinger?
  12. Completely different to similar recruit in 30's our much loved Harry Petty. I picked Harry out from his first highlights package (for our AFL backline KPD) which featured some great one on one work and tough body contact then kicking and disposing in good style. We all know the result after some injury delays as Petts a premiership player and a mighty fine back man and lieutenant to Maysie and Rick. Reading above a summary of Jed's footy journey last season it highlighted his great value off the field and ability to get the backline in order ( in true May and Lever style). A fast tracker I would say and plenty of team ethos with Disco Jed snd the other AA Backs in the Backline Club. Reckon Riv will find another level with a WA boy there to help. Oh and Jed has already done some cameos up around Full Forward with some success. Remind you of ??? ( Tmac JVR Petty and even S.May!). Exciting times ahead as Casey will provide an early grounding along with pre season for Jed's experience and development from the 2021 Masters of Defence and Coaches. Fascinating to watch!!! Bring it on !!! Welcome Jed.
  13. Jed and the Dees will have the last laugh when ( not if) he finally replaces the great Stephen May as our full back ( or CHB). Wonderful selection with JT written all over it and makes our "battle" with Freo in trade and recruit selection an early success. PS Remember FF Matt Jefferson utilised No 13 our pick from the Dogga trade back to Freo.
  14. Tmac is not 33 ! Just 30 .
  15. So where in highlights do you generally see a fight? Hardly if ever.
  16. Only ONE( 37 ) or 39 as it is of now selection we are going to do tonight and neither Barnett or Keeler will be available at that pick. Have to trade up possibly to be any chance.
  17. If and when you are able Mr Slart can you look specifically at the young 2021 and 2022 class and check if their physical size has improved ( or reduced) and any height improvement. AMW wow what a start to pre season done a lot of work to base his season on and almost a new recruit again but much more AFL ready in size! Players like Laurie D.Smith Taj Van Rooyen Bowey McPhee Disco Riv and Kossie even. For eg. I thought Laurie looked much slimmer in the training photo last week, even though it was a funny angle and not at a completely convincing angle. Thanks.
  18. Good summary Kev. Was unhappy at 1/4 time but 5 mins in the second we neutralised their mids and took over. Great team effort by the girls and we gutsed it out from then on. Too tough in and under (Westy Hanksy and Liz Purcell) got on top and kept going. Great last quarter by all. Lions underperform vs us as their list needs a couple of hard at it under girls like Westy and Livy. All one style are their girls very skilful but need a couple of grunt players to get down and dirty. Ticks 2,boxes seeing 2021 in Pert and now the girls in Brissievon my home patch. Need a Melbourne fix in 2023 for both.
  19. See the email last night from the Club to all members I would have thought.
  20. We have Riv whose form ( mainly due to racing back into the team too early) took half a season for good form. Riv Will star in 2023 but another flanker of size is still a good option but this year I would concentrate on forwards who can kick goals especially finishing ones!
  21. And Kossies record is right up there with Cyril in stats and his effect on the opposition despite what you will say in reply. No he hasn't got a Norm yet but time is on his side.
  22. Won't happen Poita Plenty of prime again to give Club ability to maximise its sponsors And how come you don't care !!! About The draw easy or hard. Everything on your terms so it seems nothing for the Dees!!! After many years of just making numbers up we deserve the spoils of a top Club and games with tension and atmosphere of big crowds.
  23. The JT second drafts like Riv JJ Tommy Sparrow Plus Bowey as a late 1st rounder and JVR are all good as well
  24. And most likely mid season or next year you might well regret this move IMO if our forward line does not improve. Let's get Jefferson if we can and make our attack with JVR the envy of the AFL.
