One of the signs of a good club. The good thing is we can now bring in more players who are not terrible. Incidentally I thought Joel Smith was playing really well until injured. He can’t take a trick.

As I said earlier in the thread I was really impressed with Deakyn Smith. He is very balanced and composed and sure with his ball handling. I think we have found another player.

Did you notice a new found aggression and a bit of nastiness as well?

Yep, 2 games in a COVID mad year and some nearly write him off. He has definitely improved and significantly. IMO he will be a better player than Spargo and ANB long term. He has some real X factor, that I also saw in Shai Bolton when he was playing VFL and couldn’t get a game with the Tigers. Time will tell.

Good luck this season Dec.

Watch the Casey game on Kayo and you will change your opinion on that.

Watched the Casey game with an emphasis on another kid I have a lot of faith in and he was great. Toby has pace as we all know, but he now is an aggressive pressure player, who doesn't allow easy possessions to the opposition He now has very good disposal skills, as well as the ability to make a goal from nothing. IMO he will be a regular in the AFL side sooner than later and with Kozzie will prove an absolute handful for the opposition. I also thought Deakyn Smith was very good and looks a player. Rosman also looks a likely type and Bowey's disposal is superb. We now have significant depth.

We all knew it would happen. I would tell him to stop playing.

It is not just the advertising, the music is far worse.

Have now passed it on to 2 contacts in the media, Sun and Fox Footy. Will see if something happens.

And obviously “deaf “ barbarians.

I have contacted the AFL and will see if anything happens.

I am contacting the AFL over this. Maybe the threat of litigation for impaired hearing and voice boxes will get some action.

Is anyone else being driven mad by the constant barrage of deafening music being played at the footy? It is played right up until the bounce starting each quarter and is so loud, you can't even hear the person next to you speak. People are screaming at each other and it is destroying the experience for me. If I want to go to a concert I will go to one, but this is footy, so at least turn it off 5 minutes before the bounce, so we can soak in the atmosphere of the game. It is a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do people keep talking about trades when discussing Free Agent's?

Who?

I would have voted for him.

Think he meant GB.

4 to this point.

Plenty on Demonland wrote off Hunt and wanted him delisted. Plenty said Lever was a dud and May was a bad deal for us in his first year when he was injured. The examples just go on and on.

May’s likely opponent Mitch Lewis out suspended. Lessens the blow for us a bit. Can’t see BB being risked yet. Needs more match time in VFL.

Did Caleb Daniel not get weeks for his pile drive of a players head into the ground? Most dangerous tackle so far this year. If he escaped it is unbelievable.

Just got to love this guy. Hope it's worse than it looks and no socket or eye damage. Get well soon, we need you back Steve.

Loved the way Tracc and then Fritta in their post match interviews emphasised “team” and playing like one. It is clearly their theme this year and the results are coming as a result of it.

You get weeks for causing a concussion with a bump. What do you get for an intentional or reckless swinging arm to the head, which breaks a player’s eye socket? Also what if the player has form for this type of incident? My guess nothing to see here.
