Roost it far

If our worst problem remains whether to play Melksham or Sparrow I’m a happy man. I would of given him a week at Casey but I’m a furniture maker not a selector.

Weideman played a chunk of good footy last year despite the obvious difficulties. He’s 6-8 weeks away from finding form after an injury. One bad half is hardly reason to start bagging him out. Chill folks if he and Brown can get up and about we’ll go deep

I thought we had the best VFL forward line in the history of the game

Would you call it a jumper or a bit of fitted plastic?

I’m not playing Melksham till he’s showed something more like his best. He’s got 2 years of poor footy to pay us back for, he can start that journey at Casey

As opposed to Rivers who appears to be a very solid defender for the next 12 years?

Could one of Bowie or Laurie replace Jetta at some stage?

I’m leaving Jetta in, one poor game is hardly a disaster. I’d take him over Lockhart any day. Let’s wait till they’re banging the door down. Hibberd needs some game time as does Melksham. The first change will be getting Brown or Weideman into the team, possibly for the Richmond game if one of them can have 2 good weeks.

Seasons should coincide

Dees by 42

Demons by 42 points

Hawthorn need some young talent, constant trading of their picks is seeing them slide further into the abyss. Good riddance from mine

Brayshaw was great. He’s learning to play the wing better each week

Hibberd perhaps over Jetta if fit cant see why you’d take Sparrow out TMac needs an 8 mark, 4 goal game to get his confidence going. He’s playing average to poor football for so long his confidence is shot.

I’m of the mind it all comes down to our performance this year. I truly believe we can go all the way. I think at a minimum Oliver and Petracca are expecting a very tight Prelim as a minimum. If we do that they’ll stay, anything less and we’ve got a fight in our hands

Collingwood have their plans set on someone. It’s going to be very hard to pry Oliver or Petracca out of the Dees if we go deep this year. Premiership favourites rarely lose top end talent

He’s more than holding his own atm. 300 games is a monumental effort and he deserved the contract extension after his loyalty, leadership and efforts. Hats off to him and the club #at the time I thought he should of been cut

Dees by 37 after a tight first half Premiership favourites don’t lose these

Jurrah could of been anything. Once he learned the kind of physicality needed to play AFL he would’ve torn the competition open. You could run him in the middle when fully fit

We’re Premiership favourites for good reason

Boys trained like Premiership favourites up and about, plenty of talk and sharp skills.

He’s one of the main reasons we’re now Premiership favourites

Fritsch doesn’t have the tank or the game to play in a wing. I’d leave Brayshaw on the thin side and let him be. He’s going alright for a guy who missed the preseason.

Time to go hunting for the best in the world
