Welcome to Demonland: Lego
As a Lego Star Wars fiend, and the recent inheritor of a very large technics collection (cranes and industrial vehicles), this news has absolutely made my day, probably this year! Lego and the Dees have been on an equal footing in my brain, which I know is almost unforgivable in this space, but they have been compartmentalised to be fair. Now I have legitimacy to be as emotionally fulfilled as the moment attending the 2021 GF, well maybe slightly less ... but nonetheless, they can now reside equally without favour and people can roll their eyes as much as they want when I segue from the Dees to Lego and back to the Dees ad nauseum. Huge signing, and massive potential in attracting kids to the Dees, as some have pointed out.

Ed Langdon the (Inside) Midfielder
If the move happens, I doubt we'll see Langdon on the field 100% of the time. Surely his light frame isn't suitable for the role suggested?

Melksham set for 2025
I admire his body work in out-positioning his opponents. Makes it look easy. Something I wish Fritta was able to do, or more precisely learns to do.

Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread
My understanding of any review process is that the outcome is decided and agreed to beforehand, and the review process outlines the significant work completed to justify, and implement the outcome.

PODCAST: Rd 22 vs Port Adelaide
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Melksham being the sub this week. I know there were late changes, which may have had an influence, but it seemed a very inflexible choice. My own view is that to have a deep forward as a sub is counter-intuitive to the opportunity afforded of a tactical sub. Melksham's 'freshness' was seemingly wasted in the overall team objective. That freshness might have been better served by a midfielder where we were always going to struggle against Port.

PODCAST: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne
Devil's advocate and left field thinking ... but would using Clarry as the sub help him and the team, so long as he understands and is on board with the why? An eager Clarry released at halftime might just give him the opportunity to be fresh enough to impact heavily and gain his confidence? The risk is robbing Peter to pay Paul no doubt.

POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast
Psychologically we werent at the game. That's the only "why?" I can come up with. Everyone knows we are capable of great things, but it doesn't happen without everyone's effort. We are brittle when things go awry (fumbles on last line of defence, injuries to key players). Few take accountability for their disposals. positioning or loose opponent (blasting the ball into anywhere, handballs into the air, opposition with acres of space), and The forwards need strong experienced leadership on the ground, like we have in defence. The beautiful connection between Clary and Tracc that we used to admire is non-existent. Viney hasn't been the same since the incident with his shoulder a few weeks back. These are issues I see, and not specific to the WCE game, but it was a difficult train ride home after the game.

2024 MFC Indigenous Guernseys
This might be slightly off topic, but only recently I noticed and was impressed with the Dockers Indigenous Walyalup club logo. I haven't really thought about any improvement of our own Narrm logo since it was first unveiled, but is there room for indigenous artwork in our logo?

What do you do following a loss?
I stew for about 24hrs. Then look to the next game with optimism until Goody makes changes to the lineup which I rarely agree with, but he makes me look stupid most of the time, thank heavens. I was never a player or coach so I've done Aussie rules a huge favour.
