In the final quarter, we were completely overrun by the Giants' swift and efficient transition game out of defence. Their last two goals were generated from deep within our forward 50, yet they managed to move the ball end to end with alarming ease, ultimately sealing the win. What was most concerning was the lack of pressure in our forward half the Giants found space, linked up cleanly, and exited without much resistance, exposing our defensive structures. Adding to the concern, it seemed like we simply ran out of gas in the final stages. Whether it was due to conditioning, the oppressive conditions, or the intensity of the contest catching up with us, we looked second-best when it mattered most. Was it a structural breakdown, a fitness issue, or simply the Giants executing their game plan to perfection? Keen to hear your thoughts.

Any inside info on the severity of Maysie's injury?

How good was it to see Clarry back to his blistering best for. Loved that he slotted through 3 goals. The last one was my favourite. Will be a weapon for us this year. Bring on the real stuff.

Of this I have no doubt. If Collingwood or Carlton had access to early picks I do not believe Christian would be a Demon next season. Now the hard work begins to get Trac the support he needs to rehab and get back to playing at his best. The club also needs to get to work and be a better run club top to bottom.

Can I ask you why you believe Trac was silent for 19 days while the MFC was trashed and roasted in the media for that entire time when the whole story could have been put to bed straight away?

Bloody great news. Now to work on supporting Kozzy and getting him to stay in the red and blue.

It's surprising how worked up people are getting over an email, as if they don't already receive hundreds of spam emails every day or week. Let's put things in perspective: it's just an email, not someone showing up at your house and digging through your personal belongings. You have options—delete the email if it's not your cup of tea, or take a moment to open it and read what a passionate Dees supporter has to say about the current state of our club. Are you genuinely satisfied with how our club is being managed at the moment? If your answer is "Yes," then I have to say—your indifference or lack of concern for the club's future is contributing to the very issues we're facing. But if you think everything is fine and we don't need an external review, then let me tell you, you might as well prepare to see your favorite players wearing a [censored] Collingwood jumper. That's the level of complacency you're endorsing.

The information was from 2 weeks ago. I didn't know this thread existed until today. Mate is OS now but will see what I can find out. Don't know anything about the crown land stuff. Mate doesn't work for the council. Works closely with them on various projects. At the time he claimed the info was solid. No idea how this news of a board spill effect anything.

Have a very good non-dees mate who works closely with the local government in the area who reckons this deal is all but done. He doesn't have any details on timelines or costings though. I have no more information and can't vouch for the veracity of the information only to say that I trust his word implicitly. Understand that I am just an anonymous person on the internet so use what ever amount of grains of salt that you need.

Always liked Tomo. If not for the ACL he might have been a Premiership Player. He has been stiff in that we have some solid key backs and always performed admirably when filling in and unfairly dropped even after solid games. Cannot begrudge the guy for seeking opportunities elsewhere and I wish him the best of luck. Thanks for your contributions Adam and good luck wherever your footy career takes you.

Who is the Pickle in the media that Garry is referring to?

Sparrow is our latest casualty in the midfield. Surely this means Judd McVee will get some more midfield minutes this week. Andy Moniz-Wakefield racked up 35 possies in the 2s. Will he get the call up this week? Any other changes for the Pies? Can’t see Benny Brown getting a swan song even after 6 goals in the e 2s considering the 10 goals from our key forwards against the Suns.

So our starting midfield next season is Sparrow, Rivers & Laurie.
