Adams got away with one there, but horrible kick, was very lazy

It's a Father/Son parade out there

Listening to the guys on "Gettable" there is a 2-year deal on the table, Dees very confident it will get signed. McVee has not looked around and is not talking to any other clubs, both Cal and Riley expect him to sign once the coach is sorted out. "There is no pull to WA"

I dont want to get everyone excited but I present to you.....Latrelle Pickett, yes Kossie's cousin. Made his SANFL debut on the weekend and kicked 4. He has also kicked 28 goals from 17 matches in the SANFL reserves and in the SANFL annual youth game (u18 v u20) he kicked 3. Was overlooked in last years draft, and is a late bolter this year. But has to be turning heads now.

Sounds like a good move from the Dees, an offer we are happy to give, and he is welcome to explore if he wants more $$ or opportunity elsewhere. This is the type of player that we don't need to be chasing after. Offer his worth, and no more.

He is the not only the greatest Demon of all time he is the greatest ruckman of at least the AFL era, and probably ever. Once he actually hangs up the boots this will al become clear as day.

We don't have a coach yet, I'd be waiting too

How to you figure that? That. They need 44 for a normal AFL list. And they will get extras as well so min 50. You take 50 players out of the draft and what are you picking up? Yes they will get players from other clubs as well, but that them means you lose more depth and going to the draft sets you back in development

Good win! Kolt - showing something and also showing why he just needs to play consistent footy in a team with the same role. Billings - just a VFL specialist I think Johnson is what we need in our AFL side, for now. Kentfield - coming along nicely, not a great game but kicked 3 somehow Sinnema - showed more than enough Mentha - just needs to be a little harder but that's just nit picking Laurie - I can't understand why he can't translate this to AFL, he might just be another Billings Fullarton - has made himself as a backman(VFL) Spargo - Keep doing that and you will force yourself back into the AFL Brown & Woey - same every week Jefferson - interesting game, not horrible but we need him marking

Gee Poor Laurie there, was out and free

What does the panel think, I have a feeling that Chaplin went back to the old Dees a bit. We have been ok going fwd the past 5 rounds and the stats prove that. this looked like the old bomb it in. maybe it was the Hawks pressure, but we seemed to always be kicking inside 50 from being hemmed in around where the 50 meets the boundary, meaning they were all just high balls to big packs, which made it easy for Hawks as the ball can only go to one spot. Even the commentators mentioned it a few times how we would get the ball around the point of the square and go outside (to the boundary) rather than come back central and open up the 50. I have made the point on the pod before but going to bring them up again: 1 - our handballing is horrible, even to the point where we are handballing the ball back in play to an outnumber that the player knows is there, when we have the most dominant ruck in the comp, just take it out!! 2 - our tackling is [censored] poor, and has to be a focus over the pre-season 3 - we just cannot transition when we turn the ball over, May had a bad game, but how many of those balls also hit Gunston on the chest, hard for any defender. End of the season, players probably have checked out with everything going on, so let's get through the year, maybe beat the filth and keep them out of the 4.

good hit up from Kolt, that's what we drafted him for. Casey starting to link up nicely here

yes, but my point is the draft picks we will get for them won't be of value. They are worth more than picks in the 40s and beyond.

its a bizaar match up in the first place

what is a drop punt? I follow Melbourne you see

My List management: Next up Trade Delist FB: Lever Petty McVee Laurie May Hore HB: Rivers Turner Bowey Fullarton Spargo Billings C: Langdon Oliver Lindsey Campbell Salem Henderson HF: Chandler Kent/Jeffo Petracca McAdam Viney FF: Fritsch JVR Melk Johnson Sparrow Mid: Gawn Langford Kossie Verrall T-Mac Int: Windsor Howes Culley Kolt Woewodin Sub: Mentha Brown Emg: AMW Kent/Jeffo Adams Sestan

One thing i hope our list management team is looking at (and some demonland posters realise) is that with Tassie coming in and possibly another team a few year after that. thats 50(depending on exceptions given, but im guessing Tassie will get extra list spots) new players for the competition. This means that what we call player 22-30ish now become starting players and those beyond become very important depth. Players like Laurie, Culley, Mentha, Verrell, Sharp, Woewodin and Brown who some people may think we should cut, will actually become pretty important and valuable i believe. as they will be the right age and have afl ready bodies, this will happen to every club and if you cut too deep and get stuck topping up with kids you will get exposed at the bottom end. Just a though I had during the week, rem when GC and GWS came in how many "mature age" players were drafted, be smart to get ahead now

ohh if only, sounds like there must have been some truth to that. So, you would hope we are digging very deep into it. Don't know how we get the deal done though. dont want to be trading too many future picks away with Tassie looming

They will 100% flick him if they don't make finals, he almost got flicked mid year when they were struggling. they have a very good list and are underperforming IMO, they have mids, Defenders and Forwards, and at least one Elite player in each area, including ruck. If that was us we would be furious of missing finals.

Yup very sad, Seed is coaching part time at my old club in Adelaide (Walkerville). and he has mornings where he physically cannot get out of bed, literally his brain isnt speaking to his body and he can't move, take him the whole day to get moving. Very hard to be employed and commit when any day could be like this. real nice guy too. Not that that changes anything.

This makes me feel like they are just throwing it in there to bulk up the story, is no other information other than he is linked to WC and Geel. There is also no way he makes a call before the new coach is announced now. Why would you.

just enough to make sure we knew what we were getting.

here come all the stories about Clarry and Petracca leaving that just sit on the Journos desks until something happens at the dees

Clever by dees, getting Kalani to tank this year so we get him for cheap 😉

Of course they did, but the media won't say that, as it doesn't make for as good a story. Absolutely no way either of them didn't have a big say in this.
