Yes and No... imo Yes...as to the ideas of why... No ...as there's no substantial expansion to any of that. It's all.. it might be this...might be that. You see.. nothing has actually been communicated. Nothing. A lot of 'nudge nudge'... followed up by "crickets". We had...announcements that announcements are forthcoming....and then the afore mentioned ....crickets !! Anyone who has ever dealt with any developments knows the nature of the hurdles.. but i can tell you if this were just another Commercial development with any of a number and type of stakeholders there WOULD be updates... be progress, because thats what it's actually about, progression..I.e.. building the building. If there was neither the project managers would be fired and replaced. The notion that no news is acceptable is a nonsense. There may well be constraints but these are not covered by the Secret Squirrel Act. If this is all subject to X Y and Z then a competent management would explain the who, the why and relevant timelines. Thats how it should be done. Then we have the MFC

It does beg the question, for mine, is what we have currently actually 'broken' ? Is it so dire it needs 'fixing' ? Or does someone just want it all warm.and fuzzy ? On first announcement that we might entertain Waverley I thought this might be a resoundingly good idea , as an interim 'solution'. But upon more reflection I just don't see how we're particularly any better off. Got me flummoxed to be honest. If only interim until a possible 'Caulfield ' what ( again) is the real benefit ? If there's no Caulfield then we could be selling ourselves a prime position up Schitts Creek.

I am intrigued as to what, if any, is advantageous to using Waverley ( ostensibly) in any interim. 🤔🤷

Bugger

Then you will remember the roar when the scoreboard showed the Roy's had gone down. Im not thinking well end up in the 8 but we could. Reckon we'll knock on the 'traditional' door at 9th. Had forgotten about the silly new finals 🙄🥴

I agree re depth. Neither imo were leaders

Not sure writing off is quite the intent but it might be the observation. Many have suggested you can't really play Steele and Viney at the same time. Imho.. that's the key. We went and got Steele. Wonder why ? 🤔 We knew Jack has a horror of a history with his injury...... and we went and got Steele. 2+2=

Mate....maaaaate... To date you've been brilliant but this is sublime.. You just juxtaposed two of my great loves... The Dees...and Queen !! ❤️ Let it be known...yes we will we will Rock You... Buddy playing on the street ...or the wing... will make a big noise .. Go Dees

I like people that have eyes 👍 Good call

In the news.. oh yeah.. Think about it My God... are you that dim ? Daz...tis the off season.... time to grasp at straws mate. Disregard the noise... it's fugazi !! 🤔🤣🤣🤣 ( the irony eh )

To emphasise a point... And yes...purely observational.. and derivative of reports.... I get the impression King's thinking is when you're out there your mind needs to be concentrated on the game... no let up. It's not nearly about you being the very best forward, very best mid, very best back , very best any ducking thing... but it IS about being in the game, in the moment, switched-on.. Mindsets often beat presumptions. 18 blokes moving as a team.... playing with one...ONE.. method... They'll prevail. Classically.. a champion team.beats a team.of champions. That said... now revisit our trading and drafting. Penny dropping ?

F M D.. what a beat up... Kingy wasn't planning on Maysie at all If...OK.. if no bigger Apparently a hand has 7 fingers 👉 😉

Nupp

Something strikes me about Kings standpoint. If your mind isn't in the game 100% Then 100% you won't be in the game

Wendouree... yeah nahhh

My obs. He'll very much engage when he feels fit. He'll stop things and reset. He'll explain what he means and how to do it. He'll bollocks a player if he feels warranted He'll sidle up later and take a player through 'whatever' Make no mistake, King has empowered his delegates ( coaches etc ).... but this is HIS show.... Further... I think he knows what he's doing Further to the further... I sense the players think so too. There's a vibe.. We're ON !!

Take it we can Texta in 26 for a flag eh 😉 Go Dees

Maybe not 😉 An idea for many... disregard 25 26 will be different.... better... Emphasis on DIFFERENT

How would Deakin be involved with us ? 🤷

Its not about punters financial literacy. Mine's fine, thanks for caring. This is, never was about money.... that grows on trees and is accessible when required if..IF ...the deal stacks up. We obviously don't have that deal. Thats the problem imho. We have intent, a few nudge nudge winks... possibly a backroom "well if you do this we'll do that etc".. But there is an impediment... I sense it's not just a what but more a who. This isn't that [censored]hard... not really... its a [censored] oval or two and a warehouse with a glorified atco hut attached. We can't be anywhere close.....or they'd all be lining up to chirp. This has been derailed. I wait.

If anyone can post the latter bits... marvee 👍 Reading what I could did prompt the little grey cells.... particularly about 2 things but they in turn nudge a 3rd. The writer was a little surprised that Windsor is progressing well now through the middle. Strangely I'm not. Recent vision seems to indicate he's more than ready and ought to do well. We'll need it. 2nd.. The Langdon conundrum. A valid insight. Im wondering if we didn't see Langers as a negator purely as a result of the footy brains trust running out of methods to curtail oppositions ? I much prefer seeing Ed in full flight. He can be a very good and dangerous user of the ball. This then leads to how King will instruct our game. Are we going to back ourselves play an attacking style and make them.worry more about us... or go all negative Nancy? Without wanting to dredge up much this is i think where we started to come unstuck. The brains trust ran out of ideas or ability to keep OUR game flowing so we concentrated on stymiing them !! What I've seen so far suggests we'll attack games... I'm truly very dubious about stats . The notion that Kozzie doesn't seem to rate 'high' on defensive tackling to me is bordering on illogic. He is elite in attack... his role is to attack not defend. You invariably only tackle as a forward if they have the ball. This isn't the reality of Kozzie imho. Im happy for him to have 3-4 goals ... 3 to 4 assists ans sfa tackles. I.e... the opposition is trying to get him and thats the way we want it 😉

Is the door even revolving..... or is it closing

Whats the current demeanour of the MRC now a change of folk 🤔

I'm inclined to 2nd most of this especially the idea that we may actually be better off without Trac and Ollie. Have no doubt this will be a bitter pill for many. But just for a moment I invite people to look at our games, remove the emotion, remove, the bias and just critique the games via effort and effectiveness. ( because thats really all you ever really should do ) . There were any number of reasons we failed over the last few seasons. They pivot about thee two metrics ( above ) and then they're either tempered or expanded by a third. Cohesion. Tbh.... saw sfa of that last one for quite a long time. What I've been gladdened to see is its creeping back in ( if training is any guide ) This will be what brings us back... cohesion. Not about playing one particular style of footy..... but playing with one shared mindset. Go Dees
