Mostly agree. My take: Trade - Lever, May, Sparrow, Spargo, Viney, Fritsch, Salem. If there is interest in these guys Cut: T-Mac, Melksham - Purely looking to the future. Target - Flanders, S. Walsh, JUH if possible, H. Reid, CJ(Hawks), Reeves, L. Aleer, Windhager Depth - O. Lord, L. Ryan, Derkson, Pedlar, Wehr, Hobbs, Tsatis, Perkins, B. Scott, W. Phillips

Flanders isn't depth, and someone we should be looking at!

Sweet, not sour

I can no longer defend him. I understand what they were trying to do yesterday, but there has to be a point you lock down. Could we somehow jimmy Uze out of Rich? Get all his Dees buddies in his ear ASAP. Other than that, I like Buckley, Horse, and Ken. Worsfold might be a good coach but he just rubs me up the wrong way.

Who cares

I usually can find optimism in most games, but that was disgusting. Im not defending Goody here at all. But that is on a weak and insipid playing group to not hold onto that lead. Pathetic

He is a 23 year old number 9 pick. he is a good replacement for Billings and hope we can get the best out of him. he will be cheap and there is potential there.

Clearly? Mate you have lost it, how many current fwds have kicked 60 goals in their first 50 games? Il give you a tip, you can count them on 1 hand. Let alone playing with the fwd delivery he is getting. Hasn't had the best year no but is only 22 and has kicked 6 in his last 4 games. He isnt even close to his peak yet.

Sorry dont agree with you at all. Trade out those players and we absolutely bottom out! Trading JVR is crazy talk!

players i would like us to go for, not big names, but some depth and potential. Archie Perkins - Can't get in at Ess, high draft pick. Has looked ok in the games i have seen. Ollie Lord - I really like him, Fwd ruck, has looked good in the limited games he has got for port and stil developing Derkson - Dees obviously keen, swingman which is always handy. although we already have a couple of these. Liam Ryan - This guy is classy, think we could get him cheap. would be a good fwd replacement for kossie to allow him to go Midfield fulltime. is also related to Kossie which will help both settle in the vic life Is obviously some guns we could target, but these guys i just like for cheaper options that could have impact over the next couple of years and beyond

Hi Gents A game of 2 halves....again. People won't agree, but I believe this shows we are on the right track, we show what we can do. but that first half was diabolical. I have three major issues that have bugged me all year (besides foot skills) and wonder if the panel have noticed them as well? 1 - Forward handballs that are so loopy they put the receiver under immediate pressure or turn it over directly to opposition. 2 - Corralling instead of tackling, teams this year have gone hard at the player and trying to knock the ball out as they do, putting on hard pressure and forcing a quick decision from the ball carrier. we seem to sit back and try corral often to the wrong foot (which at this level is unforgivable) and allows the opposition territory. 3 - Our tackling in general, we do not stick important tackles and often barely lay them or get broken easily, needs to be addressed. I think Thulstrup, Windsor, Lindsey, Sharp now need to go back to VFL for a big chunk or possibly the rest of the year for form and also manage some workloads of the young guys. Give Laurie, Sestan, Mentha a look now. Persist with Jefferson, we have nothing to lose there, he took a couple of great grabs but overall let himself down, but i think dropping him now would do more harm than good. Also, anyone that thinks Xerri was 100% suspendable and May isn't, has red & Blue googles on! Whilst May couldn't do too much different, what he did was the one thing he couldn't do, was going to be second to the ball even if he was making a play at the ball. made contact to the head, id say that's 3 weeks as well, or 0 with the AFL system which is crazy. Petty into defence now please! Dees fans, stick it out! That first half was unwatchable, but the second half was good! And if Oliver got that holding the ball like it should have been, well who knows.

On cue

Max can't buy a free

What a joke

Extend his contract!!!

Ffs, we are dominating. They will go down and score now

Dumb Lindsey

F%$@@ng pathetic. Thats disgusting

Bowey, wtf are you doing?

They are defending him a fair bit

Not sure what he can do. But the one thing he couldn't do is what he did. Very simmilar to Xerri last week. He knew he was going to be second. Unfortunately thats where our game is at now

Well that sums it up

[censored] poor defence

I'm losing faith in River's, I dont think he has the touch to be an A grader. Will still be a 150-200+ gamer. But just a solid footballer i think

Think i agree, go and get Ken. And a skills coach
