comparing apples and oranges, contact is allowed in football. is prohibited contact which resulted in a fine. If this happened in the workplace you would be fired. are you saying that Pickett should be removed from the AFL?

.

he hasn't had another offence this year!

I'd be [censored] off if someone jumped on my shoulders or tackled me too. It's not a work place

God, there was nothing in it. A fine is what it's worth! The AFL should have a system now that if he was to do it again, it's a week! But if one of our players was rubbed out for that id be furious.

In: Hunter Out: Woewodin Windsor to sub. Petty does need to show something or he is in big trouble, but i honestly have never thought he was a forward

100% we should look at Lobb. As long as we aren't paying too much for him he is exactly what we need in our side!

This is a٪^&%#%^ disgrace. Did we train in black and gold jumpers this week?

Kolt was fine, he is going to be a good player. He is used to being bigger and stronger than his opponents which shower with him trying to push them off. When he fills out he will be much better. The first 5 min of the game i recon he was tackled 4 times for a ball up which doesn't show as a stat on the scorecard but they are important touches none the less and shows he is in the right spots. He will be fine and i hope he gets another couple of runs this year!

Very good player, would be a great get. And compliment our midfield perfectly. Not sure where out salary cap sits, we get off the books Brayshaw $$, Tomlinson*, BBB*, T-Mac* as well as possible someone like a Spargo leaving for opportunity. Just depends how it fits into our cap and if we can afford him. *possibly retiring or de-listed

Hey guys. Not all doom and gloom, i think we maybe drank our own bathwater after the SA trip. I do have worries with Petty though, i understand he is a necessity forward atm but, I have been saying for the past 2 years that his good performances as a fwd were either against average opponents or when he was swung forward in a game and it was a bit of a surprise factor. He is a great mark and is actually usually a very good kick, but i think he is a very good defender and the perfect replacement for May when he retires. He has to stay there now due to our tall forward stocks but is Petty as a long term forward sustainable? I'm not throwing the baby out with the bath water over this game, was set up for Brissy to win. But after the bye we better come out breathing a bit of fire!

one of the few having a good crack

Dropped this week after starting sub and being subbed. He is a very good footballer and silky skills, Goody spoke about how in 2021 he killed us in every game we played them. Would be a very good player to get. If he requests a trade then the Dogs have 0 bargaining power, and they haven't been playing him so they can say he is a gun. Thoughts?

Haward has almost played 100 more games than McAdam, which I would argue means his starts are much better. not to mention the professionalism. Im not 100% sure about the mid class, unless it is uber class. The perfect mids for our team would be a Merrett, Dawson, Gulden type player. otherwise I don't think they are worth chasing with our core mid group. McLuggage is a free agent and could be that player!

Can't wait to see this kid play, recon he has a lot of early years Petracca about him.

It's a week, I think the Dees would be fine with this one. The hard tackles and bumps are what they wouldn't like, as they can only end one way. This was a reflex move that is now illegal, this is almost the exact same position Kossie was in last year with B. Smith and he shoulder charged instead. So he has made a change, we don't won't him to lose his edge, we want players to fear him and wonder were he is in the fwd line and shank a kick or bomb down the line to Max under "Perceived Pressure".

Hayward would be a great pick, he is a much better version of McAdam. Medium fwd that can chop out in the midfield, the only issue with paying him $$$ is that I think Tholstrup will become that player too. But if its to get a player that will get us to that last day in September in the next 2 years then that doesn't matter.

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend if you are looking for a nice meal head to Juan's Torta Cantina in Brompton, Mexican sandwiches that are amaizing. Fresh ingredients with those lovely Mexican flavours. Also some great cocktails!! If you do go say hi to Jon the chef and owner and tell him DT sent you!

1 goal assist and 3 score involvements, yes he needs to be better than that game. But he doesn't waste the footy too often. Having players like him, Langodon, ANB and Windsor all in side make it very had for an opposition side to keep up

Billings as a wing rotation and his foot skills are important to us. Ha stays in, no one in our reserves has the polish he does. Also gives Langdon and Windsor a chop out and keeps our run fresh through the game

Great win, great win! Being a South Aussie Dees fan, if would could make it 2 from 2 this week against the other SA side, ohhh that would be bliss. big question is load management this week, BBB has been important to our structure, he is going to have quiet games and we need to realise his performance isn't graded on stats or goals which is quite obvious by his leading patterns. He is quite obviously taking his man away from the hot spot and creating space, and we use him if it is the best option. He is going to need a rest at some stage, if May is back then Petty will go fwd and we might be able to manage Browns minutes that way, but i think he needs whole game rests not in game rests. What is the best way to manage him?

i love the nick names haha, maybe we need a key at the start of each training post. just more work for the amazing people that do this for us all

Whilst this is great news, id still be tempted to give him managed minutes in the VFL. In a perfect world we do play him and be 60 points up halfway through the 3rd v the Hawks and we could sub him off.

More of this please !!!! haha
