Side looks good on paper, but I think leg speed will be a problem against tigers. And they are the no 1. Team in the league when the ball hits the deck so going to tall could cost us especially in a night game. I'd expect Weid to throw his weight around when the ball hits the deck, his a good tackle for his size

If we could take our chances in front of goal we'd be 5 goals up. Just tidy this up and the 4pts are ours

Beat the Hawks first

Try calling the club, I called today. After waiting 25 mins I got through because 2 of the 4 memberships I buy for the fam haven't arrived

Likewise this season things seem to be different, the boys playing for each other is fantastic to see. He has to become a leader now and help drive us to a flag

This is the biggest change this season, finally all this talent is starting to work together. Still a long season ahead so lid firmly on, from here we should aim for top 4 if we roll the Hawks il start beliving the players are grounded enough to not get ahead of themselves.

If it's the Melky of 2018 I agree with you, if it's the Melky of the last 2 years id rather get games into younger players. The no chasing and tackling down hill sking we saw of Melky the last 2 years sets a bad example. I hope the group is beyond this now

And il add the players wages are paid by the loanee, so wouldn't work with salary cap in Afl

Agree, and most teams loan out players to different leagues around Europe.

Viney will bulldoze there midfield to pieces in turn Clarry and Tracc will dominate them. Dees to be 5/ 0 heading into a massive Anzac eve match in Jonesy 300th

I agree here and im a big fan, but he has to clean up some off his kicking

Go Dees, I'm watching the replay now as I was at dinner with no foxtel :( just saw bits and pieces on a mates phone. So we are finally a mature group not dropping games we should win. 4 /0 is possible next week

Best game I've seen in a long time from the Dees. To be challenged in the second quarter... and the response was very pleasing. best game I've seen from ANB as well Keep it up Dees

Potential vice captain alongside Max next year, with Viney, Tracc in leadership group

You have go to be kidding, Oliver is a contested beast and only getting better, his outside game will come with experience I have no doubt he can be in the top 5 players in the comp and alongside Trac can take us all the way. Must keep these 2 boys 5 years +

My Round 1 team RIVERS MAY LEVER HUNT TOMLIMSON SALAM LANGDON PATRACCA ANB JONES JACKSON PICKETT FRITSCH TMAC CHANDLER GAWN OLIVER HARMES I: BRAYSHAW VANDENBERG BOWY JETTA Only pick players 100% fit and I'd pick experienced players over young ones in the early rounds try to get off to a good start and build momentum. Also wouldn't mind swapping ANB and Salam see how they go and T Mac and Tomlinson we might find a bit of flexibility to the team. JONES JETTA VANDENBERG get games because Viney BB Wied and Melky injuries. Thoughts thanks?

I have to disagree if your a forward say a half forward and push to 60 meters out your opponent can sit back in the hole and leave you free, or man you up leaving a gap for a forward to lead into. it's basic, creating space and every other team do it

That's definitely been the case for a long time and hasn't been fixed we can all see it, who's responsible? AFL players should be able to hit targets even under pressure. as you say we have no one taking contested grabs so we congest our forward half making it harder to mark. We need to create space for leads

We had our 'full list' for all off last year, I have never really bought into Goodwin as a coach I just hope I'm wrong because this club needs stability to thrive. I think he is coaching to save his job rather then take a risk, where has the forward thinking gone, didn't he invent the diamond wings running through the middle before 6.6.6. Was introduced. We need something of a similar nature to spark the group

Does our game plan bring the best out of our list? This press trying to keep the ball in our attacking half to create forward half turnovers isn't working for us, it creates congestion helping the opposition defend. Our talls think bringing the ball to ground is a "win" then we get smashed at the ground ball. Quick turnovers against us and we are out of position, the opposition score easily. With the best ruckman in the comp. A young talented midfield group, and a back 6 as good as any we should be spreading the ground making it hard for opposition to score and opening up our forward line especially considering we have injuries to key talls. Put Trac in the goal square open up the 50 with Fritsch and a rotating Gawn and Jackson leading into space and we can kick a score in the early rounds. I fear if Goody is stubborn on his Game plan especially with a underdone midfield we will at best be 1 and 4 season over by round 5. He has to adapt to whose available I can just see it loose to Freo first up and the wheels will fall off.

Couldn't agree more, if we don't bring this attitude and win in round 1 we will loose members and we can forget signing Oliver if we have a bad start to the year. Time to be that ruthless footy club we keep talking about. Atm were as ruthless as my nan knitting a scarf

We need to get this done before round 1, Trac, and Gwan aswell will have a big impact on memberships and team moral

3qts of that game was like a training drill for Melbourne, if we can stop in game lapses we are a top 6/8 side. And playing at our best can have a real crack at the flag. That should be the aim, imo no way we miss finals next year and n ok way Oliver goes anywhere

Click on the videos icon, I watched Bartlett,Pert and questions videos Hoping they put up Goody and Burgos

That's the thing with Harmes in the middle, he was able to nullify a opponent and still get the ball himself and have influence in attack, surely we can rotate 4 or 5 mids in the middle and half forward next year.
