Young Angus

Canary in the coalmine was us losing to The Eagles. I don't care if you're on the road, anyone properly in the race for a flag doesn't let that happen.

We sometimes have decent kicking skills when we feel like showing up...we need that sports team psychologist to show up and see what's going on in the players heads...something ain't right.

Dropped so he can go train and get match fit...looks to be nowhere near ready, he hasn't done anything but give us false hope so far. I get that he was thrown to the wolves etc. etc. but most other VFL players would have offered up more than he has so far at AFL level he's added nothing.

JVR and Jeffo need to click, help us Jeffo...you're our only hope. McAdam needs a rest, Petty go down back and Tmac up forward. Can't wait for Milkshake to come back and Jeffo to get up but without our mids none of it matter.

Dees are [censored], I'm embarrassed, can't the coaches and players see this is just like the players in Ted Lasso THEY HAVE THE YIPS!!!! Only explanation, we need the psychologist from Ted Lasso (or an actual psychologist not an actor) and all players must attend sessions get your heads right or let the VFL team play the season out, they couldn't have done much worse, at least they'd show up. Hang your heads in shame Dees you are a disgrace for squandering the talent and experience you all have, shame on you all.

We will need him, he is just part of the next generation.

This!

Surely the couches would rather Petty go back to defence than go to another club...is that what is likely to happen to him if he goes elsewhere to end up in defence again? Is that his preference does anyone actually know?

Yeah we can really do without the speccy tries every single time, looks dumb.

Some games he is...1 in 5 games or so he seems to deliver, would love it to be more consistent and I'm sure he would too.

Surely not Laurie, he is good at VFL then goes missing at AFL. AMW or Kolt ahead of him for sure.

Jeff will be gold but would hate to rush him, green banana analogy a good one, he comes in when the time is right he is a long term prospect and will hopefully be great alongside JVR. McAdam needs to get better or Milky will easily take his spot as soon as he's fit and able, oh can't wait for him to be ready that'll be delicious!

Great to see the mids back in form even if it was against the Saints. Kozzie awesome too. Shout out to Hunter, he looked great and just made us look so much more solid I thought, he adds great experience and he looks like he means business. I'm all for keeping him in at the moment thought he shored us up nicely. McAdam hopefully better with more time, same with Petty I'm sure he does plenty and is great but hope his foot isn't a bad injury, I'm sure we need him even if not as obvious to some. Loved Tomlinson, hope we can keep him in somehow even with Lever, he looked bloody awesome, love to see him have a good game and get the interview after the game too. Tmac just fantastic too, in great form, loving seeing him play well and his kicking has been great (someone else pointed out too). This team looked much better! Max is amazing, we are very lucky. Having JVR and Langdon back made us soooooo much better too. We need to absolutely demoralize the Eagles when we play them next!

Petty is pretty hopeless right now, he has a good game every now and then that keeps him in the frame but he's not doing well. Jeffo coming along very nicely, glad to see it, can't wait till he's ready to go!

Hehe...

I agree...looking forward to seeing them both at a good AFL level working together.

Pretty sure I'd like to see Hunter come in but I can't see Billings getting dropped against his old team, even though he should.

I agree, he needs to really be screaming for a spot through performance otherwise what's the point...I'm just excited for when that happens.

I just want to see something rather than nothing...this whole "trust the system" line is tired and guess what, it didn't work! Please think on your feet and do something different because the results are saying we need to do something different, even if just to get the players a bit more excited about life and footy, they just all look flat and tired...like this "system" perhaps. Mix it up coaches!!!

Yeah that comment really was complete BS wasn't it...we should all get on some of that though we'd feel better about where the team is right now. Still excited about Jeffo...would be more excited if Harley Reid came to Dees in a couple of years though!

Of course he is, just being silly.

It's the least he could do after missing that last game.

Haha that's funny...really Fritta doesn't wear mouth guard? Geez he's asking for trouble isn't he, thought he would have learned from Jackson getting his mouth all smashed up.

Hahaha funny thread...agree with Moniz and Kolt though

Another danger game I reckon, after this one just gone, Saints beating us would be the icing on this rancid cake. Whatever happens just try something different for god's sake the other stuff obviously isn't working very well...and get that midfield firing properly I mean what the hell is going on there with those guys they are meant to be some of the best going round!!!???
