  1. When is kicking not kicking? [censored]!
  2. Another great pod …... both insightful and entertaining. Thanks guys.
  3. Great question @whatwhat say what I’m thrilled with the win, but reluctant to read too much into it at this stage (a touch of MFCSS perhaps?). I think R 0 vs the Swans handed us a considerable advantage, as evidenced by Footscray’s last quarter fade-out, and (imo) their lack of pressure, especially in the second half. Love the pods guys. Thanks!
  4. Very even team performance, which is exactly what Goody would have demanded! 6. May - outstanding all game. We would have struggled without him. 5. Gawn - showed why he’s the best leader in the game (and the best ruckman) 4. Oliver - what a game in the circumstances. Just makes me so happy! 3. Petracca - just did what Tracc does best! 2. Billings - great game. Confident he will be a great acquisition for our team. 1. Chandler - great turnaround from last week. We are looking good!
  5. My red & blue heart ALWAYS says the Dees. Not exactly sure what my head is telling me this morning, but I’ll attribute the lack of clarity to last night’s red wine and cognac. Dees by 11 points!
  6. I’m a bit baffled by the squad, but gee, I hope Tholstrup makes the 23.
  7. Thanks guys for another insightful and entertaining Pod. It erased some of my negativity about our Dees for at least another week, and believe me, that was no easy task after the Swans debacle. Well done!
  8. McAdam hammy. Not expected to return before R5. (Source: J. Gabelich, AFL site)
  9. I thought our small forwards were very disappointing vs Sydney. Kozzi will be back against the ‘dogs, but will (hopefully) be spending around 15% of his time around stoppages, where he adds an important point of difference. IMO we definitely need another small crumbing forward, who can contribute on the scoreboard, and apply front half pressure. - do the panel agree? - if so, who gets the gig? (have ‘Pup’ Brown or AMW earned an opportunity?) - if so, who do they replace?
  10. 6. May …….. by a whisker from ——-> 5. Viney 4. Fritsch - our only forward 3. McVee ……… by a whisker from ———> 2. Tomlinson 1. Bowey ……. very good until injured Credits to Howes and Windsor, who showed a lot more than some of their more experienced team mates.
  11. Some old and bad habits return. Grrr! Bottom line is we were beaten at what we do best, especially in the last quarter! However, I have every confidence that we can and will improve enormously on that effort.
  12. I’m more than happy to go in as the underdog, and come out smiling! 😀 Dees by 20.
  13. I found Sparg’s inclusion a bit mystifying, but this early in the season, I have 100% confidence in our MC.
  14. Great listening as usual guys. Thanks! I reckon Bin nailed the Brownlow prediction 😄
  15. What are the chances of Blake Howes being this season’s Judd McVee? 🤞
  16. Great news that these two seem to be progressing well, but maybe not so good that they will have to wait 3 weeks before having a legitimate hit-out in the VFL.
  17. Good comparison Bin. I reckon the Duke has longer strides, but that’s probably just a sign of the times.
  18. Another fantastic Pod guys. Thank you! Really fired me up for the Swans next Thursday, and the season ahead!
  19. I’ll enter the quiz and suggest Steven Stretch (but he’s probably before your time).
  20. Based on the Richmond match sim, I thought that Pup Brown might be a good chance. What does the panel think? ps. I was disappointed that he wasn’t given more ground time against Carlton. Could this be an indication that our Match Committee think he’s not quite ready?
