Vale Jeff Hilton
I remember Jeff as a real ‘goer’ on the footy field. Incredibly sad to learn that he is no longer with us. Vale Jeff.

Which hated player would you love to love at the Dees?
Toby Greene by the length of the Flemington strait. The epitome of love him but hate him!

Very poor representations imo. Both R’mond and C’wood have teeth, just for starters.

VOTES: Rd 21 vs North Melbourne
6. Gawn: fittingly, the ‘supremo’ in ‘Ruck Round’. 5. Petracca: the ‘dynamo’ with the power to consistently change things up, when needed 4. Viney: continued to carry our midfield on his broad shoulders in the absence of Clarry. 3. Brayshaw: love the consistency he is providing as a mid. 2. Pickett: the magic is still there, and the gameday ‘influence’ is returning at the right time of the year. 1. Neal-Bullen: the usual ‘Nibbler’ work rate, with 3 goals to boot. Very, very unlucky: Hunter Very unlucky: Chandler

What a mockery. Are the AFL serious or not?

Buddy Retires Effective Immediately
A true legend, who captivated lovers of our great game with his on-field feats, regardless of their team allegiance.

PODCAST: Rd 20 vs Richmond
Context: Hibbo has played excellent / consistent footy for Casey since his return from injury, and was a regular strong performer for the Dees before that. Further, Goody said in his post match presser, that he’s been playing “outstanding footy and will get his look”. Q1. Is Hibbo’s potential return likely to be at the expense of Tommo, and if not, who? Q2. Can Hibbo effectively play the third tall defender, to free up Jake Lever to play his key intercept role? These questions assume that Petty won’t be returning to defence any time soon. Love the pods guys! Keep up the great work.

6. Gawn - a Colossus again. What a leader! 5. Viney - behind Max, but another outstanding, ‘lead from the front’ performance 4. Petty - 6 goals and only 4 votes. A revelation. 3. Melksham - getting better by the week since his return. 2. Neal-Bullen - a consistent work-horse who plays one of the hardest positions on the field. Doesn’t get enough recognition. 1. Lever - just typical Jake. Plenty of others who I couldn’t squeeze in including Riv, Lingers,Tracc & Hunter.

COACHES VOTES: Rd 19 2023
Yes. It will be interesting to see how many Brownlow votes he polls, both for the Adelaide game, and over the last 6 weeks.

COACHES VOTES: Rd 19 2023
Me too! Jack was good for most of the game, but practically dragged us over the line on his own broad shoulders in the last quarter. Surely that counts. Amazing!

POSTGAME: Rd 19 vs Adelaide
Adelaide were decent, we were just better for slightly longer. Another game where guts, grit, determination and a ‘never say die’ attitude got us over the line. These are outstanding qualities to take into the finals, but gee, there remains plenty to work on before September. The dream lives on!
