The problem to my thinking about finding a May succesor, and indeed we do , is that May didn't become the beast he is in a just a few seasons after his draft. Given time frames i doubt anyone in thisor next seasons intake could possibly take on that mantle. Im a believer you have to go shopping/trading. .. just me perhaps.

You possibly raise an interesting idea. Is it the mood or general take on where the 'typical' Dee supporter finds themselves currently is not quietly ( or otherwise) optimistic but notably anxious. I know that sums up my situation.

Can someone get the number for those Wigs !! Fwd to MFC 😉

Out of interest is that "negativity" spectrum related to the Reality Measure ? The denotion of anyone with a counter view being negative is both patronising and borderline elitist. We all have different views and different starting points. I think you should leave it at that. Cheers

We were fav v Port v Dockers Went well. Admire you're optimism.....don't share it.

Don't be silly 🤣

Sadly I wouldn't put a dime on any of those games. They're all going to have to ground out wins ( if indeed ) On percentages... probably agree..6-7 wins. Which ones who the f k.. 🤷🤷🤷🤷 Friday will be very interesting Go Dees

Reckon therell be more than 20k bluebaggers.. Maybe not after 3/4 if getting dacked. Find out friday lol

You had me at tempo. Yep ...yep.. yep Using appropriate tempo is THE key . All the best teams have employed it. You get to control the game ...your way.. you give your team mates time and space to get to or create position. It creates uncertainty in the opposition. Shame we have none......

We're natural targets.... deservedly

Season rollicks from.. something...to something... Gods are speaking....

Doubt it .

Butyou come willingly to the threads tat you must know..., because you're not stupid, that WILL be vitriolic...should it warrant. Please. Give it a rest mate lol

Just alternative thinking. Do we use our currency to trade in talent ? That has impact.... you're dealing with known entities. Yes some might be available through FA. There will others you need to horse trade for. We've gone down the path of hail mary fishing before.....

I sort of get it... However if we lose Friday.... there's NO winning on KBW

You think it possible to beat Collingwood after we lost to Carlton....... very interesting 🤔🙄🤔🙄

Trust..... a somewhat precious commodity. Hard earnt, easily lost. Club needs to work harder. As an Engineer it's not whether a cup is half full or half empty.... it's simply been over-specified for the job at hand. Do i trust us currently? I'm not inclined to wager anything of value on the outcome of our games . Last year i made enquiries about a seat at the big dance. Not worrying presently.

Ill let you know lol

Elementary....it's self evident. Sadly Goody thinks he's right. I dont blame him. He should. Regrettably and respectfully... he's not.

Daz, Not to be dismissive of that fine post.... but to go to the heart of the matter....the question posed.... i.e what is the actual fundamental cause.... well look no further (imho) than those 2 quoted sections above. To me, everything emanates from this ^^^ Why indeed 🤷🤷🤷🥴 Cheers Go Dees

Certainly stuck in 2021......

Unless you're 30m out directly in front...a strong maybe then... but otherwise...agree

Im reminded by this thought when looking at market trends etc. Its seldom whats happening on the surface....though that is what you see and is often the relevant S.P. etc.. it's what's causing it... the ebbs, the flows, the depth to bids/offers... the volumes etc. They create the substructure upon which it all revolves/evolves. So too in a sense a game of footy. Much about a game can be causal and that happens before the ball is bounced. In market parlance ....we're trending down... we'd be a "sell"

Towards the end of Paul Roos tenure a new assistant came on board. He came up with some quite maverick ideas and gamestyle inventions. Quite the breath of fresh air. First he got to try out some ideas in the preseason then later got some time in the sun. Our game changed. We became quite unpredictable. We played with these ideas and Roos' blessing . We started going OK there for a while. That assistant was of course Simon Goodwin. Whatever became of him....or rather...whatever happened to the invention ?? I do miss that bloke... current version.... not so much. Our game has to change...either with him( by him ).. or without him bye him.

Should be... but won't be.
