great to see the boys live and even though it was a praccy match it was nice to leave with the win. havent been to princess park since the nineties

kozzy isn’t available for our match against the Swans in opening round . how will we cover his loss in the forward line and who takes his place ? I haven’t been overly impressed with any of our small forwards in the 2 praccy matches with the exception of kynan brown but he wasn't given much of a chance to put his hand against the blues .

any chance that Clarrie might play a quarter or two ?

thanks for all of your efforts this season boys . i only found this podcast midway through the year but it became a staple for me each and every week . i'm a little bit concerned about our straight sets exits over the past two seasons and i'm a little bit worried if we are still genuine contenders for the flag and i just hope we don't drop away from the pack . are we still in the premiership window and are we in any danger of dropping out of finals contention in 2024 ?

the 10 billion dollar questions this week is does tmac come in to replace the injured Melk ?

the Melksham injury was devastating . he has been a huge part of keeping our decimated forward line together in the absence of Fritsch, Brown, McDonald & Petty and i just feel gutted for him even more so given he missed out of 2021 . given the recovery time and his age i can't help think he may now hang up the boots . just a week ago he would have been a lock to go around again next season .

one of my favourite players is young Jakey Bowey but I can’t help think he’s a little bit down on form and confidence in the past few weeks . his usually a great disposer of the ball but has been panicky and turned the ball over a few times which is very uncharacteristic of him . one such instance was at the beginning of the last when his handball missed the mark resulting in the Hawks first goal just seconds into the quarter bringing them back to within 2 goals . in the 3rd he showed indecision and a complete lack awareness resulting in getting tackled and pinged resulting in another score for the Hawks . by no means am I calling for him to be dropped , rested or replaced but something is NQR . Love the poddie . Thank you to you wonderful people for providing a respite for us Dees fans from the bleating sheep in the mainstream media .

what is it with the Dees and wet weather footy ? Lost 5 out of 5 this season on a wet slippery deck .

kudos to our small forwards this week . they really lifted this week and got us back into the match when needed . 3 goals a piece to kozzy, chin and nibbler was just what the Hobart doctor ordered .

6 Petracca 5. Pickett 4. Gawn 3. Brayshaw 2. Viney 1. Hunter

6. Gawn 5. Petty 4. Viney 3. Petracca 2. van Rooyen 1. Melksham

what a fantastic win . can’t wait to listen to this podcast . i know he’s still a few weeks away but can we play fritsch and melksham in the same team . melksham has been huge this past month .

really loved last weeks poddie fellas . you did an excellent job of dissecting the thrilling win over the Lions so thank you . would be interested in your thoughts on Maysie taking the kick outs . that howler in the third could have ended up costing up the match . i really dont think he can be trusted with it unless he kicks long down the line but that might give away where were going . also i think it was Thomo who twice placed the ball on the ground before hoofing it into the middle . not sure how long we can continue that without telegrapghing what were doing . keep up the great work guys .

6. Viney 5. Gawn 4. Chandler 3. Salem 2. Brayshaw 1. Pickett

got to say im disappointed we didn't get the 3 hour podcast we were promised

not sure it will be in our hands . james might leave to pursue a starting midfield role at another club .

6 . Gawn 5 . Petracca 4 . Melksham 3 . Viney 2 . Brayshw 1 . Rivers

Jake Melksham was the definition of Clutch . the mark and the goal . nerves of steele . i could barely bring myself to watch the shot on goal . i would love to get the panels thoughts on him and his role going forward . obviously he remains in the side whilst Fritsch is recovering from his foot injury , and this might be too soon to call whilst we're basking in the sweet glow of his match winner , but does he have a role to play once Fritschy returns ?

the audio is working nicely for me. thanks for the podcast. loved it.

can the panel please discuss the Kozzy situation ? can’t help but think he is well down on form and perhaps confidence due to his lack out possessions and output . seems to be disinterested in chasing at times . never would have thought this was even something we’d have to consider but does he need some time at Casey to find some form and spark ?

thanks for the shout out on last weeks show . I have a question for our upcoming game against the giants . Toby Greene often causes us some headaches . who do you see as the ideal match up for him? Hibberd ? McVee ?

if the Whisper that Thomo will be dropped in deference to Petty is true are we so sure that Petty will then replace Thomo down back and not play Forward as was Goody's preference for him ? perhaps they thought there was no match up for Thomo down back given the wet conditions and are deciding to go smaller down back . Bowey comes in . Use May and Lever and Hibbo and Rivers on any combination of Hawkins , Cameron , Rohan and Henry . It's a risk but so is playing Thomo . i agree though that he is stiff considering the game he played last week .

THANK you . GREAT podcast .

bit nervy about this game. we need to kick straight firstly if we are to have a chance to win this one. i cant go this week so will be watching at home with beers.

probably going to tip Port, Lions, Freo, Tiges, SUNS, doggies
