  1. Great to see Billings slot one. Also great to see the boys show a bit of aggression after that late bump.
  2. Whilst this week is by no means a write off, I'm really excited about next week. If we can get through today without any injuries then next week we could have a fit and firing Kozzie, Melksham with a game under his belt, Lever and May back together. All signs point towards a better showing
  3. It was a joke my friend.
  4. I was going to leave this one and just listen in but after what I've just seen I felt the need to post. Just saw a video of some demons supporters hurling abuse at the Dees as they walked off the ground. WTF Dee's supporters? We are better than that surely? I know we saw a bit of that in the dark years but I honestly thought we were past that. I'm Sure no one one this good forum could possibly be so dense as to participate in this behaviour. I understand frustration at losses. Believe me, I didn't love that game either but to hurl abuse at the players who looked completely heartbroken at what had just occurred left me feeling sick. Obviously things need to be fixed, possibly things going on to affect their performance also? There is more to life than footy. Get a grip!
  5. Would just like to wish you all the best. I feel like this one could be brutal.
  6. Did you watch today's game? I have contempt for us at the moment. Doesn't surprise me that the AFL does as well.
  7. Is there an award for making it to now before turning it off? That's just embarrassing effort. I can handle losing. I can't handle complete lack of effort and no desire for contest.
  8. Welp, I've seen enough for today. I get it's a pre season but this is very disheartening after the long summer of talk. I just wanted to see... Something? Not this. Fremantle are just too quick. More of the same whenever we play them this year.
  9. 1st and most important question, Andy, how was the weather? Looked amazing. What was that big bright thing in the sky? What a fantastic game by the Dee's. So satisfying to watch after the week we've had. How do we beat the pies? Traditionally we cut off corridor and smash them with pressure. Is that enough? Has their game plan evolved or is it pretty much the same as last year, must admit I haven't been watching the pies as much this year.
  10. Well, just saw Port vs Sydney. I'm scared.

    I live 2 hours south of Perth. My private jet is in for a service and I absolutely refuse to fly with the commoners. I'm sorry but I have standards.
  12. Hi guys. What is it specifically that has turned Fremantle into our Kryptonite? Seem to get the better of us over the last few years. Coaching, personnel, plan or are they just too good? As a WA based Dee's fan, I'm very keen for us to get a comfortable win against them. I will, however, happily admit their supporters are much better than the eagles. A much more pleasant game day experience.
  13. Do you think we free Lever up a bit more against the bombers? I think he gets exposed as a 1v1 defender which is where he seemed to find himself a few times against the Eagles.
  14. I would like 30 seconds dedicated to Binman just saying "I told you so". Much better game. Our contest and defence is back. Pressure was amazing from the first bounce. Obviously very disappointed with our 4th quarter fade outs. Assuming it's fitness related and not Goody trying to put the game to bed defensively. Is it too late in the season to correct this? I would have thought most of our loading periods are done, the demons of '21 where just hitting their stride in the 3rd and 4th. It has been asked before but have we possibly messed up our fitness program for this year or is it more related to the huge amount of young players who just don't quite have that tank yet? As well as the interrupted pre season for a few.
  15. Get a grip man. We lost by a kick to a team that everyone expected us to be completely flogged by, including most of our "supporters". Won't take much for Binman to find some positivity because large parts of our game were good. Ran out of gas in the last and lost a close one. Game is looking much better and several players showing improvement. Kept a team who has averaged about 130 points the last few games to sub 90.
