That would be madness. Take a look at Clarry, JUH, Naughton, Mac Andrew, DeGoey, Hipwood, Max King and a host of others since they got the big money, none of them are anywhere near there earlier form.

We have lost all our lst quarters, we will see.

Thanks Danny, I am glad to hear at least someone in the FD agrees with me on where he could/should be playing. Some like Dazzle and Supreme Demon on here also agree,.but of course we are just fans and everyone has an opinion on everything. Plenty on here want him delisted and say he can’t play. It is unfair imo to put a player where he possibly isn’t at his best and then judge him as a player on that. Plenty did that to JJ and Bedford, just as recent examples. Clubs and supporters continually make mistakes on players, but the more successful clubs limit the mistakes.

Few more happy Dees fans today:

I still think Howes is a mid/half forward.

Wish we still had Yze.

Clarry has had one kick and eleven handballs. Obviously been told not to bomb away. Pity a few of his handballs have been shocking and have cost us goals. He needs to lift big time. Hope Turner is not concussed as he would be 3rd key defender out.

24-6 with 7 minutes to go. Just like us.

With the Pies it is pretty simple. About 8 - 10 very skilled ball handlers. The best player in the game. A brother also an excellent player. More AFL experience than any other side. Total buy in and selflessness by the players. Pace to burn. Reasonable goal kicking skill. Well coached. Ability to recruit players from other clubs. To a lesser extent, huge support which probably leads to favorable umpiring on nearly every occasion. Can you see the 78m penalty being given against the Pies or the soft free to McStay for a goal, or the ridiculous DeGoey free where he dropped an opponent not in play, all paid at crucial times. A bunch of mates in the MRO and Tribunal also helps.

Pies were given a 50m penalty that was measured at 77.7 metres. That is a massive mistake. Then McStay gets a goal from a push that wasn’t there. I find it funny that bad mistakes by umpires in Pies games, seem to nearly always be in their favour.

Maynard his usual self. Love to see him taken out in a game.

Or payback from other issues?

As you can’t delete posts on DL anymore, I was thinking of going completely radical and editing posts to just leave a -

The old bloke AJ is 23.

I have posted several times, we are killing JVR by rucking him and it needs to stop now.

I don’t think Viney had one positive possession, not one, he was actually a total liability. Clarry wasn’t too much better. Tracc again was poor with his disposal but slightly better than the other two.

That might be the way it’s heading.

“AND loving it” as Maxwell Smart would say.

Think I am there already.

Wish it was.

Congrats guys.

Trying to delete a post, but not knowing how to do it, without an edit leaving only one letter or character.

Today’s result will be interesting. A hope for a revival or possibly season over. Membership numbers could be seriously affected too.

Since 2021 I would guess we have kicked far more behinds than goals and far more behinds than our opponents. We know it cost us probably 3 of our 4 lost finals since 2021.
