  1. That’s worked really well for Dodoro and the Bombers

    100% Agree

    Personally I’d love the club to bring in Jason Akermanis as an assistant. Success follows him.

    So because the Captain suggested something to the coach which then went well the coach is actually no good, the players alone won us the flag. Ok got it.šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
  5. I wish we’d got JCameron
  6. If Jefferson makes it, which although looking ever so slightly more promising atm, is still a fair way off he’ll play forward with JVR and Turner. Petty, May and Lever go back The reason we still want a key forward is Jefferson still looks unlikely. Waterman isn’t the answer IMO.
  7. For a guy who's played 12 good games over his career
  8. Thanks for writing that, I was thinking it but couldn't be bothered with all the typing.
  9. Imagine the straits Carlton would be in if Cripps went down.
  10. If Petty is to go back next year then Turner needs to play forward. I'll call him Disco when he starts showing some more moves.
  11. I don't disagree but with Rivers and Mcvee slated for the middle, May looking not far from done our backline looks cumbersome.
  12. This.....We've been missing tackles for awhile now which I find very frustrating. Clearly our confidence is way down and you and others have pointed out we look fatigued. Couple of concerns for mine remain....our continued over reliance on May and Gawn. I'm just hoping Stephen May can get his body right but it's a massive worry relying on that. Oliver needs to spend the preseason beside Petracca. He don't get 6 weeks off if I'm the club. We all want more mids, myself included but Maxy needs some back up and JVR needs to play forward. How do we make that happen? Or is JVR being groomed long term as a ruck/forward because that's what it looks like to me. It's going to be a fascinating off season because we need to bring in youngsters from the top end of the draft but I'd hazard a guess there's a few other clubs thinking the same.

    Our ball movement is slow because he set us up to be a contested beast and won a flag doing it. We’ve then been top 4 and if it weren’t for injuries last year we’d have 2 flags and likely still have Gus running around. After the Carlton final I would have sacked everyone but this year has panned out pretty much how I expected. He’s now getting the talent together to speed up our movement. The unexpected positive is the quality of our youngsters. I think 25 will go ok.

    Stick to your team sheets, they’re easier to ignore.
  15. You’re being overly dramatic
  16. It’s called confidence, they’re running on air we can barely run.
  17. Terrible umpiring
  18. Dee’s in a thriller, lead changes, heroics, stars on show…..the game of the season.
  19. We’re going to have an awful lot of half back flankers.
  20. Brisbane I think
  21. Sure but……there’s several buts that make this a risky deal. I’d be chasing high draft picks before putting big deals in front of NQR’s but that’s me.
  22. For the money and length of contract it would take I’d prefer we chased others. You’re right though, someone’s paying overs for him
  23. Roost it far replied to Lucifers Hero's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I have as well. I think he’ll cost overs. I’m all for the 2 top 10 picks. I’m guessing future firsts and a solid player will be required to snare the second of those, don’t see a player on our list to pull that off.
  24. Roost it far replied to Lucifers Hero's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    So you want Houston and 2 top 10 picks this year? That sounds great to me, can you run through how we’re pulling that off?
  25. I’d take JVR, Fritsch and Petty(and he’s a backmen) ahead of Waterman. If he’s chasing a 5 year deal at 900,000 tell him he’s dreaming. My feel is he’s trying to extract more from WC but we’ll see
