  1. Thanks Danny’s. If that’s the case, it’s pretty clear that Adem Yze liked what he saw of Staff at the Dees.
  2. Your best post ever WCW, and that’s saying a lot, because you set a very high bar. Thank you! ❤️💙
  3. Benny has not only been a great footballer across two clubs, but from what I’ve seen and heard, he’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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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. ❤️💙

  7. Well I’m very proud of our boys tonight. Severely undermanned, but we took it all the way down to the wire!
  8. Where has that forward half pressure been in the last 6 weeks?
  9. Our horrible performance against the ‘Scraggers’ has given me nightmares all week, so I’m choosing to go with the dreams I had before the ‘wheels fell off’. Dees by 3 points. ❤️ 💙
  10. @Demonland, @george_on_the_outer and @binman. I’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!
  11. Thanks as always WCW! ❤️💙 From your vids, the intensity seemed very ‘low key’ ……… reminiscent of a captain’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?
  12. 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 he’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 we’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 he’s widely regarded as a future star KPF and back-up ruck. 1. Sparrow. - solid return to the ‘big time’. Dulled the influence the Bont in the second half.
  13. Tipping with my heart …….. head won’t come into it! Dees by 10 points.
  14. Another great pod, amongst all the gloom and doom. Thanks guys. Love your work!
  15. 6. Oliver 5. Rivers 4. Viney 3. Lever 2. Langdon 1. McVee
  16. Thanks for another fantastic episode guys. A very balanced perspective after a horrible loss. Great work!
  17. 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 ‘team defence’. 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.
  18. I don’t like it one little bit, but I can accept being out-played. However, what I find completely unacceptable, is being totally out-worked. I’m gutted!
  19. Goody said during the week that we are a ‘different side’ to the one that capitulated to Freo a short time ago, and he is spot on! Some different personnel, an injection of speed and excitement, a more cohesive forward line, and now playing as a galvanised unit with a game plan that is more adaptable to meet whatever the opposition and weather throw at us. This is another ‘statement’ game, and I reckon we will be well primed to make a statement, as we close in on the pointy end of the season. Dees by 9 points! ❤️ 💙
  20. 100%! It’s a beautiful thing!
  21. I don’t have high hopes for him, but he certainly earned another crack at it after his game for Casey on Sunday.
  22. Great work as usual Bin, and loved the new segment! Thank you!
  23. An outstanding win, highlighted by the character and discipline of our boys, the continued emergence of our younger brigade, and a coaching masterclass by Goody and his cohorts in the coaches box. I found it very difficult to narrow it down to 6 vote winners, but this is my crack at it: 6. McVee - showed great temperament, vision and polish under pressure. A future AA candidate, if I’m any sort of judge! 5. Langdon - back to his best, which is very, very good. The perfect link man, always in the right spot at the right time. Another 16km+ game? 4. Rivers - continued to build on his recent run of very impressive form as a mid. His strength and power in the contest stood out to me. 3. Pickett - provided energy, pressure and a regular ‘spark’ when we needed it. Continued to add to his very impressive highlights reel. Great 100th! 2. ANB - again showed his enormous work ethic and discipline to keep a potential match winner fairly quiet, while getting plenty of the ball himself. 1. Windsor - pace, vision and ball use were fantastic. Such a mature head on very young shoulders. Too many other strong contributors to mention them all, but May, JvR and Clarrie warrant special mention.
