I have a question! I only got to see the first half of the Suns game and I was perplexed how badly Viney played. Every thing he touched, apart from one handball, failed. Did he improve in the 2nd half or is the option of dropping him unthinkable?

I think the inclusion of Melksham is all about assisting the forwards on field (And we all know they need it) We will look better with two generals down back with May and Melksham up forward. My question is why the hell is Langdon in the middle?

If anything schulz should be fined for a dive! Pathetic.

Mindfulness has a focus on the present. Go Dees in 2025! PS We no longer have Gus, Spencer, Hibbard, and Neal-Bullen.

In that Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! clip Jackson only had an influence in the last Bang! Just saying

The commentators are doing their job, drumming up excitment for this 'skills below par' game. Gives me hope for our boys. From what I have seen so far without seeing the Collingwood/ Essendon game, our next game is a shoe in.

From my observation of the incident Collingwoods captain walking off , with no more than backwards glance, after heavily smashing his knee into an opponent who was clearly badly injured. Says it all about that club

Hunter-More than expected Pickett- Brillant brillant brillant

Oliver preformed some magical hand balling for a guy with a sore mitt

I am loathed to comment on this topic as I never listen to the man in question but the reference to us being out in straight sets has so much to do with bad luck in 2023. Thank you Maynard. And the only reason he was on our side in the later half on the year (I have to take your word for that) is we are a bloody good team.

Exactly! We finally found the game through TNT English broadcaster. A very excited Aussie couple barracking for Melbourne joined us half way through. Just fly in from Egypt.

Demon fans traveling in Turkiye. Me and my die hard son. Managed to find a bar in Istanbul to watch the Dees and Maggies. But now heading into more rural areas. Can anyone suggest a way to watch the Carlton dees game on our phone? Would appreciate any help. Go red legs!

At the end of the game Tomlinson was fighting back tears for Melkite. Said it all.

I agree with your post about the ins Binman, especially the point about JVR. to enhance his development as a player and maximize the likelihood he is fit, firing and in ripping form come finals. I listened to Goodie just after the the GWS defeat and even though Fritsch was injured Goodie indicated, with a funny smirk on his face, that JVR was still 'learning'. It was obvious early in the week JVR would not be playing against the Saints Dees to win easily with the goal kicking yips to be put to bed!

To me the vision shows he does slide up the shoulder of Smith and make contact with the head. He will be made an example of necessary stricter head contact rules. Time to stop using past outcomes as 'a get out of jail free card' and take this action out of the game. Apart from that - Wonderful game Kozzy. See you in a couple of weeks!

Agreed. Let it go. Petty's display as a feeling adult and show of integrity is enough said

The Dees will heading into the finals winning these last two games easily as their goal kicking clicks into 'finals' gear. We are playing ourselves into impressive form in the middle. Brisbane was lucky to win last night. A sad display of King's goal kicking yips a reminder to us the importance of a healthy mindset.

Great win Dees against an inform team with more to loss and good to conserve your energy in the last dying minutes when the game was won. (I think?) As for Melk's run down, good to see him keep going even though my own grandmother could have kept up with that Port player

I feel strangely calm about tonights loss. Good time of year to shuffle the deck chairs and see what works (or not)

I would love to see all other clubs following the respectful acknowledgement of Indigenous name changes during the Indigenous round as The Narrm Demons have done. It's a great way for us all to learn some First Nation place name history. Well done Narrm!

I thought the emphasis on the rules were protect the head at all cost. Feel for Chandler. He walks his dog in the same park as me and he is an upstanding fella and could see how shock he was over the incident. But just because Bowey is 'rubber man' does not justify Ryan's 1 week suspension. That action, which the AFL is suppose to be stamping out, would have knocked most players in the league.

We all got the virus and my 21 year old sporty son was hit the hardest. It took him a month to get over it. Its very unpredictable. I hope Oliver has already had it!

I for one am happy with Weeds pick over Tom Mc. He is taller, younger and finally getting close to the bulk and strength of Tommy. He is part of our new generation.

It interested me that even though we were beaten in the last quarter by a lesser team, those that were interviewed after the game, Petracca, May and Lever all stayed positive and focused on the win. In the past the 'disappointing last quater that we can learn from' rhetoric would have come into play. The mindset of this team is all about winning, not percentages. Go Dees!

Agreed! Smith was impressive in the finals till injured. Not many at his hight can run along side Charlie Cameron. I think he is worth round 1 selection.
