  1. Today’s result will be interesting. A hope for a revival or possibly season over. Membership numbers could be seriously affected too.
  2. 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.
  3. Don’t think we should categorize Kentfield yet, as he hasn’t been AFL match fit since he arrived. This year may not be enough either, as he started so far behind. He is a big boy and if he can play enough VFL and gets match fit, we will be able to evaluate him then. Adams, Sesto and Jeffo are starting to look ok now in their 3rd year with us.
  4. Great players are great players and they find a way until they physically and mentally can’t.
  5. Darcy has got another opponent out of the game early. Not lethal, but knows how to contact players.
  6. It's a light column with a bit of fun and actually spot on. 6 months and we don't have a new CEO and we do have plenty of problems.
  7. Remember last season?
  8. Still have to practice taking out the pencil and paper from the pocket, holding it at arms length in front of the body and adding a stroke for a score. Then putting the paper and pencil back in the pocket and looking like you have achieved a monumental task.
  9. But if Max gets injured, we will have only one tall, or in JVR’s case, medium tall forward. We need a key forward with BBB’s height.
  10. I think we will have to go and buy a few farms in Caulfield.
  11. Well that would have to be the responsibility of the Board. In that regard they have failed for quite a period. PS: I am hopeful of a positive Caulfield Training Base announcement soon.
  12. Well that’s the question, why are players saying no to us?
  13. Looked at the two sides tonight. Can anyone point out since our flag in 2021 a Rankine, Dawson, Keays, Cumming, Keane, Peatling, Cameron, Smith, Stengle, Danger or Henry etc we have recruited from other teams. I will add Nibbler as he has set up 5 goals in the first half. That seems to be a big issue for us, as Sharp is the only one I can see in our side from another club post 2021 and once again he is not the quality of the players named above and they are only two of our opposition clubs.
  14. Don’t think Jeans ever repeated it. He had plenty of his own original sayings. I think he was famous for saying “there are three stages of football, we have it, they have it, or it is in dispute”.
  15. That was John Kennedy Snr.
  16. The luck in footy. Lever goes out for 2 months, for what we thought was a 1 week ankle injury. Stewart returns against us, to control the Cotton Ons backline and then pulls out tonight sick.
  17. Redleg replied to Dingo's topic in Melbourne Demons
    That's true, but you have to at least try and have some selection integrity. We have players in our forward line who are in terrible form. He kicked 5-2, missed two sitters and dropped a mark 20 out straight in front so should have kicked 8. We went after Wade Dersen last year, who will be 24 in two months, is 7 cms shorter then Fullarton and hasn't played a single AFL game yet.
  18. The 3 mus”cat”eers JUH, Smith and Stengle.
  19. Could he bring his Coach with him?
  20. The media has gone mental on Tracc showing emotion after the Cats game, imagine what they would do to us if we got JUH after the Smith, Tracc and Oliver sagas.
  21. That is not really fair, to call the Coach a liar over Lever's injury.. Goody could have been told he was hopefully right to go. Lever could have still had discomfort and it was decided he couldn't push through it, or it would be a problem continually, or he needed surgery to fully get rid of the issue, or a number of other scenarios.
  22. As I said to mates before the season, if we have good luck with injuries, we should have a good year. Yep.
  23. So what happened to Toby Greene tunneling Owies, flipping him over and landing on his head? As dangerous an act as you could see and enormous potential to cause injury. Not a word anywhere and no penalty.
  24. If we were 0-12 I think plenty would be gone. I like every Dees fan, is hoping we start a winning sequence this saturday.
