John Ralph hinting to Gary On The Couch that the Dees were meeting with Reid. With North getting pick one it seams unlikely now though

I think this would be a great option. This kid has shown plenty in his restricted career. Port have not played him correctly either. Straight swap for Grundy would be a fair trade IMO.

i hadn't seen the forecast, totally agree if that's the case

In: T-Mac Out: Schache Laurie or Smith to sub. Would be tough to put smith sub as he played an ok game, but he is just so perfect as the sub. Liked what Laurie did, not outstanding but needs a chance not just straight out!

Id probs go by the AFL Journo.

Clarry was like that before chocco rocked up, he is only 22 has all the tools. The behavioral thing is a beat up, he just got caught. Don't tell me over 50% of the comp haven't "enjoyed" their time off in the off-season. (I'm being very conservative with 50%) Haha, i'm sure if he was one of "our boys" we would love the hair

Has been cleared up, we would not be paying any part of his contract. unless it was on top of what Collingwood are paying. Nothing changes for Collingwood they have agreed to pay X amount over X years, they have to stick to that. John Ralph reported this weeks ago on "on the couch"

I have long been an anti Melksham person, but i think he is crucial now and has to be part of our team going forward even with Fritta coming back, What's the panels thoughts?

Those three are above that level, Smith is a 22yo that has hit elite numbers already. the 2021 final series he was outstanding. How many of our midfielders couldn't kick before Choco came along? This Kid would compliment our midfield perfectly with his speed and line breaking.

SEN reporting that Bailey Smith at the dogs isn't happy with not getting midfield time. He is out of contract at the end of next year. If there is any truth to this we should pounce, this kid is a superstar and would be the perfect rotation for Petracca and the pace our midfield needs.

Interesting game, hawks came with a plan that was working, but after half time we made a plan for their plan and strangled their ball movement. Good win with our stars having quiet games. I watched T-Mac in the VFL today and think we need to have him in. we cant have Petracca, Sparrow and Melksham taking ruck contests in our forward line. T-mac played very well, lead up and presented, kicked 3 and took a few marks. Played the exact game we need from him at AFL. Does he come in? The only issue we have is when Fritta comes back we can't have T-Mac, Fritta, Melksham and smith in the same team

6 - Rivers 5 - Lever 4 - Melksham 3 - Brayshaw 2 - Sparrow 1 - Gawn

yet another slow start

Tough loss, bit of polish let them down. Dan turner was outstanding and close to our best on ground. Spargo was creative and a good link up player with limited options forward. T-Mac was great, and had he not been playing we lose by 5 goals, he led up well created contests and took some important marks as well as 3 goals. Grundy, he is a ruckman, but unfortunately we have to play him forward because if he is to get into the AFL side that where he will need to play. Dunstan was his usual self just a great depth player Woey had some great moments and some skill errors, is leaning and developing well. Jefferson is developing well, he will get his marking and physical side of his game later but he is going to be a good mobile CHF i think AMW had a quieter game, but is an exciting 19yo Verrall is another one i like how he is developing, especially for a young Ruck. he was soundly beaten by Fort who is an AFL lever ruck. but that was body work, his tap work looks good, once he learns how to hold his ground and position with a few pre-seasons in the gym, i think he will be good.

Has been one of our best. our only forward presenting well and has provided a contest all day. his footy smarts has shown at times too. He and Spargo have been very good

it's his second game. plus been back in full training for a month. they will know

And had a couple of poor tackle attempts. was very good in the first though.

3 tackles, the second highest for the dees. has been fine for a tall forward

Turner has been outstanding under pressure

We have been very good in transition off deep turnovers. but Bris have tightened up this quarter.

yeh he physically isn't at the level. but goot to see they are building up his aerobic game, which is his strength

Will see what we need in near 3 quarters

T-Mac looking solid, id expect him to be taken of in the 3rd and rested up

Recon these jumpers at to much of a clash

Great transition there!
