My 3 word player analysis V Hawthorn
That was right in front of me and i had perfect real time view. I will hate anyone for life if they wrong a Melbourne player. May was flying back like the clappers at an angle courageously, Chol had every right to do what he did.

For those over 5 that went to the semi final and heard those scumbags chanting COLLINGWOOD while Brayshaw was unconcious there is only one answer

Targeting Max
It's pretty clear the roadmap to beat Melbourne this year has been paved and it's bump, block and harass Gawn at every opportunity. In 2021 when we were at the peak of our powers if Oliver or Petracca were being tagged they would strategically just let the other one get it. We were making a mockery of defencive midfields. How do we protect Gawn away from the ball? Our season depends on it.

POSTGAME: Opening Round vs Sydney
I've always backed Goodwin and never written a negative thing about him. I think the game plan works as evidence by our continual top 4 finishes BUT if he doesn't find a way to support Gawn getting smashed off the ball my support stops. One game i can forgive but if it becomes a trend Goodwin has to go. Greasy conditions didn't suit Gawn but the rosdmap to beat Melbourne this year was well and truly written. Demonlanders don't think Laurie has a standout strength to make it. He is not big, he is not fast, he is not a penetrating kick etc.. I think (hope) his strength is being an elite link player. When he is involved in a chain i see it time and time again he makes the right decision and nails the handball. Watch Widsors goal against Carlton in the prac match. He will always look bad when our midfield is loosing and we are not creating chains moving forwards. In a team that normally dominates inside 50's i think he has a place. Oliver - used to be maligned for handballing too much now its because he just bombs it. The greatest demon of them all making the greatest comeback, lets get around him

Where will the Dees finish after round 24?
Top 2 Our midfield will still be the best contested. Our backline has an aging May who is still close to peak but others around him improving. Our forward line has a couple of need based recruits that can only improve us. Alot comes down to Max but i'll back in the only bloke who can captain us to a premiership in 50 years.

Top 10 Dees of the 21st Century

2023 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn
That touch on the line of Olivers goal from 55m out on the boundary could have cost us the premiership. Unfortunately and unfairly i'll remember the great mans season for that.

Moves the Club Should Make in 2024
Holy Grail Goodwin finished the season in the top 4 on the back of this and other necessary decisions. Injuries to key forwards crippled us in the finals nothing else.

Maynard must get at least four weeks
If the AFL were serious they would bring back unduly rough play. Captures any weird incident like a flying cannonball smother that isn't otherwise deemed reportable. No room for technicalities.

2023 Player Reviews: #6 Brodie Grundy
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan
