  1. Gross miscarriage of justice.
  2. Iā€™m outraged by this call. It is just so wrong! I thought one week would be tough given Mooreā€™s complicity in the accident, but when the word ā€˜concussionā€™ came into the equation, I was half prepared for that outcome. However three weeks is completely beyond the pale. Itā€™s outrageous and totally unjust! We simply must appeal!
  3. On a night when there were very few shining lights wearing red and blue: 6. TMac - very reliable in an undermanned defence. Capped off a very solid year, after many of us thought that injury and Father Time had caught up with him. 5. Gawn - leadership by example is what weā€™ve come to expect from Max, and thatā€™s what we got, from the start to the final siren (I loved the passion / determination in his eyes when he addressed the players immediately after the lightening break). Another AA coming up, together with prestigious Demonland Player of the Year. 4. Chandler - often maligned, but I thought this was one of his best games for the club. Has made good progress this year imo. 3. Salem - solid game, but spoiled a bit of his good work with uncharacteristically ā€˜iffyā€™ disposal. Having said that, he probably chose some more difficult options with a view opening up the field for our boys, and, in the circumstances of the game, you canā€™t blame him for that. 2. Pickett - a typical Kozzi ā€˜live wireā€™ game. Our only forward who always looked dangerous when the ball was in his area. Unfortunately, it didnā€™t get in there often enough. 1. Rivers - got a fair bit of the ball, but ā€˜butcheredā€™ it too often. Still a solid game from a player who is still learning the trade
  4. A win against that filthy mob will be a delight of the highest order! The icing on a very rich cake, would be Tracc in the circle as we belt the Grand Old Flag for the last time in ā€˜24, and announce ourselves for ā€˜25. Bring it on Dees!
  5. Another outstanding pod guys! Thanks for all your efforts in delivering a ā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļøā­ļø product each and every week!
  6. Thanks Dannyā€™s. If thatā€™s the case, itā€™s pretty clear that Adem Yze liked what he saw of Staff at the Dees.
  7. Your best post ever WCW, and thatā€™s saying a lot, because you set a very high bar. Thank you! ā¤ļøšŸ’™
  8. Benny has not only been a great footballer across two clubs, but from what Iā€™ve seen and heard, heā€™s a gentleman of the highest order and an outstanding human being. This is a very rare combination of personal traits. Huge thanks Benny, and all the very best for whatever path(s) you pursue in retirement as a player.
  9. 100% agree Deeminion. My questions for the panel: Is Disco the long term KPF we have been craving? Is a forward line comprising JvR, Petty and Disco an important part of our future?
  10. Well Perty made a statement on SEN this morning, and our leaders confirmed it inthe Gold Coast this afternoon! We move forward together into Collingwood at the G next Friday, and then into 2025. ā¤ļøšŸ’™

  12. Well Iā€™m very proud of our boys tonight. Severely undermanned, but we took it all the way down to the wire!
  13. Where has that forward half pressure been in the last 6 weeks?
  14. Our horrible performance against the ā€˜Scraggersā€™ has given me nightmares all week, so Iā€™m choosing to go with the dreams I had before the ā€˜wheels fell offā€™. Dees by 3 points. ā¤ļø šŸ’™
  15. @Demonland, @george_on_the_outer and @binman. Iā€™m not sure how you guys managed to put together another enjoyable show amidst all the gloom and doom, but you made a great fist of it! Thanks and well done!
  16. Thanks as always WCW! ā¤ļøšŸ’™ From your vids, the intensity seemed very ā€˜low keyā€™ ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ reminiscent of a captainā€™s run, but with very little enthusiasm or chatter. Was the (seeming) lack of intensity typical of the whole session (?), or was it just a symptom of the bits you picked up on film?
  17. Sadly, none of our boys were in the top half dozen on the ground, but they deserve some recognition on here. My take on the better Dees: 6. Rivers - did nothing to harm the plaudits heā€™s earning as a future high quality mid in the competition. Needed more support. 5. Gawn - on one leg, but attitude and leadership under duress were testament to what weā€™ve come to expect from Max. 4. Langdon - busted a gut, and ran up and down the wing providing options all night. We needed more like him. 3. McVee - again showed plenty of composure and touches of class under pressure. 2. JVR - showed enough to confirm why heā€™s widely regarded as a future star KPF and back-up ruck. 1. Sparrow. - solid return to the ā€˜big timeā€™. Dulled the influence the Bont in the second half.
  18. Tipping with my heart ā€¦ā€¦.. head wonā€™t come into it! Dees by 10 points.
  19. Another great pod, amongst all the gloom and doom. Thanks guys. Love your work!

  21. Thanks for another fantastic episode guys. A very balanced perspective after a horrible loss. Great work!
  22. Casting votes today is very similar to my Year 6 maths exam ie. aImost impossible!! All of our boys lowered their colours, in a performance I seriously want to forget, but here goes: 6. May - under immense pressure all game given the amount of ball coming in, and the complete absence of our hallmark ā€˜team defenceā€™. Battled manfully, and won or halved some contests. 5. JvR - worked hard, whether ruck or forward. Commendable effort against huge odds. 4. Petty - clearly not a ruckman, but battled hard all game, and contested marking around the ground (especially in the second half), was a worthy effort. 3. Langdon - ran all day (again!), and should be commended for his work-rate. 2. McVee - solid in the face of insurmountable odds. Showed his usual good composure when he had the ball. 1. Rivers - little influence as a mid, but improved considerably when he went to HB in the second half.
  23. I donā€™t like it one little bit, but I can accept being out-played. However, what I find completely unacceptable, is being totally out-worked. Iā€™m gutted!
