Can hear the desperation in your voice Andy, mirroring my own.

Now that is a fair Whack! Well done whoever.

Headline I’d like to see in 4 weeks. “Selection Dilemma for Dees. How to Fit Max Back in After Schache Finally Realises Pick 2 Potential.”

Damn logic! The much vaunted twilight GF. Probably also applies to other finals.

It’s the word assume that the AFL should be concerned about.

So as the rule stands, in a grand final with 5 minutes to go and 1 point difference, if they can’t come back on the leading team wins. Might want to look at that rule.

Viney really off - presume will be better for the run, same with Fritta. Harmes not so flash. Time to consider our forward line for the future. Obviously lost the game on clearances. We were just off tonight, it happens. Last 11 minutes were kinda fun.

Working on special comments

Skills are poor aren’t they, I’m not imagining it.

Hoping there are no motorbikes, country roads or that song from Frozen Joey must like.

Salem always takes 2 or 3 games to get back to his best when returning from a break. I would be inclined to have at least one Casey outing for him. Really need Fritta back in for goal power with Kossie out. May leg injuries worry me. Has to be absolutely 100% or rest again. Imagine Viney will be back. So Viney and Fritsch in / Kossie and Laurie out Also think we need to play JVR early in the season to keep motivation up. He has apparently been “close” for a long time and hit preseason in prime condition. Resting TMac’s foot seems logical for this.

Look out Brisbane, Clarrie’s not going to like only getting 2 votes in “His Award”

Hope Kossie takes note. Grass is not always greener.

Pies will need to be fit to sustain that all season. Hope they’re not fit.

Martin starting to think he can fend like Harmes.

Don’t like this trend of big forwards marking given Dogs forward line.

Weelll! At least the footy’s back on. That’s something. Young worth watching.

Obviously too hard to limit to 5 but my go would be 1. Ron Barassi - he just was footy 2. Robby Flower - pure graceful skill 3. David Neitz - just so good at both ends 4. Jeff Farmer - a reason to go to the footy 5. Clayton Oliver - like others have said, will surpass all Special mention to Hassa Mann because his wife taught me in PS and our family had business dealings with him.

I take very seriously any warning of evil intent from someone called Demonic.

Did Dusty play? Or more correctly - Which of our players took Dusty out of the game? No mention in the commentary.

Brisbane crowds love it when Country Roads blares out after a Cameron “rev rev” goal. Cringeworthy indeed!

From a MFCSS perspective Headline 2024. “AFL Responds to Pickett Trade Fiasco - From 2024 Where A Nominated Club Has Insufficient Trade Capital, Priority Picks Will Be Given As Compensation.”

I do wonder if he wants to stay what would the holdup be on just signing a contract and having it out of the way given he may dislike attention and constant media harassment. His management would have put what they want long ago, the club would agree or counter offer, negotiate, agreement reached and all done. Only possible reasons I can think of: 1. Wait until part way through season when great form increases value but this is offset by possible bad form or injury. 2. Negotiators on one side or the other can not read or send emails. 3. He genuinely does not know if he wants to stay or not - seems unlikely by now surely. 4. Club holding off announcing for a maximum impact time - increase members sign up - seems cynical manipulation. 4. He knows he wants to go so will wait until end of season. I cannot think of any other scenarios so fear he may be gone next year.

Looked on Kayo. This is cool, almost like watching footy

Thanks once again for the reports, it really helps make it real up here in QLD. If the club really watch DL then they should realise what a valuable resource it is and do everything they can to support it, the work Andy does and the podcast as well with regular guests. if ever fit Joel Smith would be an ideal sub. Plays tall and short at either end. Again thanks
