  1. These are the elite footballers in the country. It is their job. They practice and train for 10 months a year. There should be no excuses. An occasional miss ok, but not the [censored] we are seeing regularly.
  2. He has said it and never denies it. That is not the issue with him.
  3. Sestan was drafted as a forward and yes has been playing back for Casey. I would imagine he could match Fritsch with 4 possessions and missing two sitters with his boy 2 kicks last week.
  4. I am not sure what Fritta can do less, than his miserable latest games, to get dropped. Simon does have favorites, no doubt. I would have played Sestan for Fritta. Sestan needs a chance and Fritta needs a message.

    Well this should absolutely get me a job in the media. Here are my scoops. Jackson will come back to the Demons or he won’t. Kozzie will stay with the Demons or he won’t. Oliver will go or stay. Goodwin will be sacked soon or he won’t be.
  6. Ok, Hunt went for 52 a third rounder and I thought about same for Woey, but agree we may get nothing.

    I am sure we would help mum find work and accommodation in Melbourne if Kalani joined us and she wanted to be here with him.
  8. It won't go past the No T$ no BS thread though, which has been going since 2011, nowhere near it.
  9. That is probably correct, as many in the AFL are calling Kozzie a superstar, which is not the same description for Jacko. Long term however I see Jacko as a bigger need for us, as his type is much harder to find and I see him having a longer AFL career than Kozzie.

    Get him in red and blue, a couple of pre seasons and 10 kgs of muscle added and we might have a good player. He also has a couple of younger brothers I believe and we know that the younger brothers are often the better players.
  11. I agree, but if he was traded to the Eagles, like Hunt, I think he would be just about a regular best 22 atm. He therefore is worth something at least, which can be part of a trade involving several moving parts.
  12. Agree with you, but I think that Jacko is the bigger need and imo without of course any knowledge, have the feeling that barring injury, Jacko will be playing a lot longer than Kozzie. I think Jacko’s size and role will allow him to play longer than Kozzie, who will eventually lose some of his pace and magical ability. Anyway, if both boys want to change clubs, I am pretty sure it will happen.
  13. That is possibly/probably going to end up the case. He has family and friends at Freo and in the West and while he obviously loves the Dee’s the pull may be too much for him. I would start to look at what deals we can do and I would be getting in Treacy’s ear to find out if he would like to return home. We could add Woey to Kozzie for example and someone/something else to get deals done. This year could be a list changer for us.

    I was on the Jeffo train, though not in first class like Pickett Fence, but I am worried it is pulling into the station to be replaced by a newer model. I think Jeffo has this season and if we are still undecided next season, to prove himself. Hopefully he can have that breakout game which starts him off. He does need to get more aggressive at the contest, that is a no brainer. He seems to have the other skills needed to make it. We will see.

    Absolutely. I used to coach my juniors to take off if they were clear and either bounce or dispose at around 15 metres. They were never to slow down and bounce in the first few steps. It is amazing senior footballers do it.
  16. I am a supporter of Jeffo, though not as fanatical as his number 1 fan Picket Fence. I must admit I am getting a little concerned. If he gets another chance he needs to take it.

    Crow’s full back reported for light kick to Finlayson. No injury. Crows play the Pies next week. Hmmm!

    We are talking about a CEO not a footballer, aren’t we?

    Losing games and not having a new modern facility being announced, will continue to cost us recruiting good players from other clubs.

    We have now possibly reduced our major issues down to two: We can't kick a football accurately and We can't play four quarters.
  21. It's an FU Dees.

    Viney would have been good to use on Newcombe.

    That’s 24-11 Dogs way at 3/4 time. No surprise.

    They all don’t need to train at the same time and they were talking about the Perth teams and only one here on a weekend at best. So 1hr session easy to accomodate on 2 ovals.

    Another use for Caulfield. Umpires also need a home.
