We are 3-0 so you would expect the fair-weather supporters to start to surface. The capacity is 75,000 but I doubt we will see that. 50,000 maybe. 25,000 Dees and same for Geelong?? I wonder how the memberships are tracking.

bummer you need to sort out a kayo subscription for yourself

Frost to Langdon is a brilliant piece of list management. Well done recruitment team.

Salem is a very important player for us. A very reliable kick. I hope he re-signs again soon. Kelly has been in the doldrums but when playing at his best is A-Grade. I've no qualms about the trade and perfectly happy with Salem but i reckon Kelly is the better player.

Funny reading back though the thread about Frost. I loved his big heart but his defending was a liability. Our defensive unit is so much better without him. I wonder how he'll go today against Geelong. Did we turn the second rounder we got for him into Rivers? Huge win if we did.

North are a cautionary tale for any club that refuse to face reality. Hawthorn not in as bad a position but as you point out, some of their recent trading has been woeful.

Nothing wrong with his game last night other than the weak effort to tackle the giants player in the back-pocket which led to a goal for them. He'll nail that tackle in future. We're fortunate to have the perfect environment for him to develop and grow. He has May, Lever and Tomlinson as the senior defenders who'll mop up or cover for a mistake. Hibberd has his work cut out trying to win his spot back from him.

I think it’s a mixture of MFCSS, confirmation bias and self-serving bias.

BB and Weid to come back in so set shot conversion should improve. Delighted with 3-0 as well. Can't wait to take on the cats.

Elocution lessons?? Her diction is fine. You've spent too long in France mate. The French snobbishness is rubbing off on you.

I kinda see where you’re coming from but this is a very harsh assessment BC. I don’t think our effort or application was at fault at all We have not shown a ruthless streak yet but we’ve definitely taken some important steps to being more consistent and reliable. GWS challenged hard early. We responded which we haven’t done in previous seasons We’re on a journey. It’ll be one step at a time and hopefully this team will eventually become a champion team like Richmond or Hawthorn. That’s where we should aim for but its too soon to expect complete performances just yet Keep the strong opinions coming BC. Just think you’re off the mark with this one.

Part Cyril, part Michael Long, part Aaron Davey (I think Dermie compared him to all 3 last night). Steven May has competition as my favourite player.

Just watched the full replay. I’m absolutely stoked with that display. Not a complete performance by any means but without doubt we again displayed a level of maturity which has been lacking the last few seasons. GWS asked the question and we answered it. That’s a game we’re coughed up previously. I hope they get their players back because if they continue to play like that they will beat teams we are competing with for Top 4. Toby Greene will cause problems for any team. Great player. Best games of the year for LJ, Hunt, ANB and Fritsch. We are getting contributions across the board. I think we all need to remember that you do not get to play games of AFL on your terms all the time. Talk of percentage boosts before the game were ridiculous. People disappointed we’re not winning by 50-60 points. You’re getting ahead of yourselves. Big test next week against the Cats. They are so street smart and know how to win by fair means or fowl. I think they will play like GWS last night so we really need to work on creating separation this week. TMac was crowded out every time (I’d persevere with him by the way, he has credits in the bank from his first 2 games). I think it’s a 50/50 game. Win it and i'll really start to believe.

Yep. final played following weekend 16/17, no break. Venue dependent on who gets through. How are things in the emerald Isle? Everyone fed-up i imagine.

Who is playing well in the 2's?

I think he just out manoeuvred him, read the flight better. Got to the drop zone and managed to hold position.

Next Saturday. There's a 9 hour difference with Ireland now so 5.10 am in the morning Irish time (if you're interested in watching) After earning a break in Week One of the 2021 NAB AFL Women’s Finals Series, Minor Premier the Adelaide Crows will host Melbourne in a Preliminary Final on Saturday, April 10 at 1:40pm local time (2:10 AEST) at Adelaide Oval.

Because he's a great footballer. If he was playing for any other team he'd be lauded as one of the best in the comp. Super player.

Not sure I want to get into a back and forth with you on Gus. He played his part in a very good win. Other players contributed less imv. If someone gets squeezed out and it happens to be Gus I won’t be organising any protest marches.

We won a game that in recent seasons we would have lost. I'd call that improvement.

Jeez Nev, you give Gus a hard time. I thought he did his bit tonight. Manned his wing, tough in the contest and took his goal well. One of our better players.

Give it a rest. I think you'd complain no matter what DeeS

Pickett Hunt Fritsch (Can't believe the lack of love for his kicking tonight) Gawn Langdon Viney

We ticked a lot of boxes tonight Make no mistake the giants came to play. Superb win It's time to skin some cats

You look like you're dealing with with some severe MFCSS Big Fez. The Dees winning games is the only known cure!
