POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
Turner looks too good in defence, especially when we have JVR and Jeffo who's job is forward, hope they step up. Rivers at Half Back for me, he's so good there, just keep him there. Not sure about Windsor but we had lots of issues yesterday but oh my the goal kicking was dreadful. Put everything into fixing that please, we should be better at that. I really don't want to see AJ in the team again for a while until he can kick! Not his fault, but his kicking seems to be the worst of the bunch.

Time to go Goody?
Goody isn't the problem...its the goal kicking! Fix that up and we win yesterday by a country mile, even if we didn't look that flash the rest of the time, this was the difference.

Jake Lever
Turner is probably my favorite defender right now!
-
POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
He should imagine there is a running team mate sitting through the goal posts and he will nail it...such a good field kick, can't kick a set shot goal, I bet he hates himself for it too.

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
21 points. Not winning games doing that now are we. We need to get better at kicking goals this has been a long time ongoing issue and it costs us games. As much as we didn't look as good as the Saints yesterday, we still got it in there and had lots of scoring shots....but 21 point my goodness that's just unacceptable and you won't win.

Jake Lever
I would rather see Tmac in there for Lever, back line looked much better with him there instead. Shame, we love Lever, but he just doesn't look like he used to right now. I remember Tmac had the same issues after injury, spent a while looking ordinary and not up to it...then came back the next year and looked awesome again! Just might take some time.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
Would assume Laurie sub if Sharp not, was keen to see him get a full game but that is logical I guess.
-
PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
SHarp has to be sub still he's been a great sub. Proven. Laurie would just be an emergency which is exactly how it reads at the moment. I think selection is very good!
-
Jordan Lewis
He doesn't get traded for anything, and I reckon he loves being a dee and hopefully wants to stay anyway. No picks are worth that guy, no way you find another like him. Get Jackson and keep Kozzie, done and done!

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
I think having McDonald there able to rotate the older backs is a great option when necessary, will be great with the option to rest/manage the older very important players there. I agree, don't mess with the midfield, I like Spargo but I think Viney brings something else that would not be a bad thing.
-
PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
EXACTLY!! Can't wait till their both ready, but no need to rush them back we did very well in that game without them, let them build.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
Don't touch Disco, he looks awesome and fast down back, we need him there. Makes the back line much better! AJ not sure, as said in other thread, but obviously brings something and the team seem to do well with him in it...he can't actually kick, or mark, but he does some other things that make all the difference in some moments so I kinda like what he brings. Wouldn't get him out unless someone like JVR is really knocking down the door but I like him as second ruck. Viney in for Spargo seems good, Sharp played well but I reckon sub is between him and Fritsch at this stage, loved what Fritsch was doing though so keep him in for sure. Hope Viney is fit and firing, love to see the old guard back in the middle in top form doing their thing. Then Lever...seems like he wasn't quite ready, and really I reckon Tmac is in way better form right now, both very important players so happy to rest Tmac because we will likely need him but his form is great. Happy for Lever to keep his spot and build if his ankle is actually ready for it. Time will tell.

POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Love those photos the team seems very united and having fun and just enjoying their footy, all parts of it. Good vibes about this team and what we're building. So proud of the boys, still not sure about AJ he seemed like a liability in a lot of ways and skills aren't there like others but he does seem to bring something and if he frees up Max and the other big fellas from having to ruck duties then that's a good thing...hey he's been in the side two weeks now and we've had two very excellent wins, so something is working. Very enjoyable win, and loving seeing the big guns back to their best especially Clarry when he kicked that goal that had to be right up there with my favorite footy moment for a long time, both our teams reaction to him and the crowd, just love it so much joy and support for Clarry it really spoke volumes.

We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
Well isn't this just lovely and unexpected, we're playing well and we have much more than a pulse now which is a great feeling to have back. Whatever happens, we're playing damn good footy and still need to tighten a few things up but good footy is good and we have a really amazing group of experience and youngsters that are working well together and that is important. Loving the coaching, doing very well, and its great things have turned around a bit for now and vindicated the club which is really my favorite part. Love the group, lots to be excited about, then imagine adding Jackson to that list too wouldn't that be lovely .
-
PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
May and Tmac both excellent but older too, not the worst idea giving one of them a rest, although I'd be nervous not having them in the side. I think May and Lever must be keen to play with each other by now.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Really do believe JVR is part of the future here, and he seems to be invested. I reckon his form will pick up, he's just a kid.

POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Milkshake so important to our team, love that he's impacting so much and god he's a great "round the corner" kick for goal, best guy to take those kicks in my opinion! The only other one I remember that I was that confident seeing line up for one of those was Ben Brown.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
So proud and such a great well deserved result...great for the club, great for the players, great for the fans and great for Goody!! GO DEES!!! So proud and such an important win up there against reigning premiers. Hope we can ride this wave for a bit now, looks like good things are happening.

KOZZY A DEMON FOR LIFE!!!
Great to read that, and speaks volumes about the relationships and how much everyone seems to get on with our coach. Yesterday was awesome, and this to me says "guess what, our culture is actually pretty good" so hopefully it shuts up the haters like Kornes and he finds someone else to kick while they're down. Hell I'm all in on our coach, he obviously knows what he's doing and guess what, the people that spend the most time with him seem so really love the guy, so perhaps its time we got on board and just let him do his job and realize that there will always be ups and downs in sport because guess what...you can't win all the time...but damn its sweet when you do :)

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
I hope he proves everyone wrong, I like a lot of what I see with him but he doesn't appear to be filling anyone with confidence. I hope that changes, would love to see him and JVR as our twin towers but I am an eternal optimist.

TRAINING: Friday 9th May 2025
So keen to see JVR and Jeffo (especially Jeffo) get another game together, very interested to see how they go. I've warmed to Harry Sharp too he just seems like he's got such a good attitude and he can run and has some skills so as if that isn't something that we need!!?! I like him as the sub, he seems to be a pretty good sub and has been pretty effective when he comes in.
-
PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Huge bummer about both Viney and Melksham they are big outs. Glad that JVR and Jeffo get a go but those two outs were a big reason we’ve been winning. hope they take this chance and light it up, would love to see both of them have a great game and help a great win…we can hope :)
-
Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
I reckon in Jackson's eyes we are a "big club" to him...he won a flag here, that means more than all the other BS.

Please ask him about the rooftop sign he did when he kicked that goal!!!
