old dee

Still a very good question Mr. Leg.

Spot on PD. Sadly I don't think he will be a match winner a good player but seldom in the "Match winner" class.

That is gut feel, as yet there is no physical proof like actually winning one of those games. When we win a couple I will believe you.

The point you are making will have little impact on the lunatic green lefties CBDees to them a tree is a tree is a tree. God help us but that is the world we now live in, it is all about warm and fussy and has little to do with the real world. Yes I am pessimistic this plan will fly.

Thanks dc you just made my day, I will have a smile for at least the next hour.

Of the teams currently in the eight we have only beaten North who are clinging to eighth so there is nothing to show that your statement is accurate.

Spot on BB sadly we are a 7th to 10th side still, there is no game killer in our ranks and our last 4 of the 22 are barely above VFL standard. More recruiting is needed and as we have no top picks in 2018 we will need a near miracle diamond find amongst the gravel of lower picks.

I actually like all three of those, no guessing which comes first!

Lots of early picks don't make it Steve. While I don't think he is a wash out he is far from a match winner and IMO I doubt he will be. From my view he is not fit enough seldom sees out a game is usually nacked in the last quarter. I don't think he has yet realised that talent is not all you need at the top level. Lets hope he improves his fitness level for 2019.

Spot on RN. With the exception of north in eighth we have not beaten one side in the eight.

How Does he hurt the opposition Ernest? I don't see you particular talent at AFL level

Eighth or if we are lucky seventh, I thought at the end of Feb this year that is what our talent level would supply And I have seen nothing against the better sides to suggest otherwise of the teams in the eight we have beaten one I.e. North who are eighth. We are just not good enough in 2018.

Spot on rjay and I doubt he ever will be a champion however a player in the 50- 100 range will do nicely.

Trouble is MR it involves using public space and cutting down trees. For those two reasons alone I seriously doubt it will fly. Sadly we will have to be happy with a location outside of Yarra park and the MCG. As for a social club does more than a few members care? The days of social clubs being big money spinners are gone. Just win games and play in GF's regularly over the next decade that is what is required not a training ground next to the MCG.

He does not hurt the opposition D11. I don't see a major skill, can you tell me what it is please?

Stretch is a symptom of our problems Ernest. He is a VFL talented player who cannot cut it at the higher level.

Who gets dropped to Casey?

Who then Wiseblood?

After a great trip jr I have come back to cold weather and the Dees of old. However I am very relaxed about our football team they are about where I expected at the start of the year. I still think we will finish Eighth, that is about where our list talent is at.

We are going to disagree on that one jr.

A VFL talent Mr. Leg AFL level against top sides he aint

On reflection beating WCE was no big deal they only made the eight because of our inabilities in the last week and Adelaide have since shown they are average. I don't think we have improved against the better teams, we need to beat Geelong in a few weeks time any thing less and you can book holidays in September.

Spot on bobby I think it is a little better at our bottom 4-5 however same problem and yes it is definitely over rated. Petracca is a good example not enough stamina at this point to be a top 100 player.

I think you are confusing "want" with "don't have the ability" SF. We don't yet have a list good enough to challenge the top six sides.

Spot on Mr. Leg. IMO our last four that make up the 22 most weeks are not good enough, against the bottom sides they play ok but are found wanting every time we play a top eight side. Changes are need again at the end of 2018 as this list wont make a GF let alone win one.
