DEE fence

Bennell, seriously could the club stop the BS and tell us whats up,? on one calf he is ahead of: Spargo, AVB, Brown, Melk, and Hannan. That said I think Petracca is a much stronger unit that Fritsch, a'la Dunstall, and like the idea of him at FF.

Rewatch the Dees whip Adelaide in NT in 2018, he was one of the reasons we got going in that game. Keep in mind he's come back from injury. We all give HB a pass and are super excited, let's give Lever a chance as well, stop being obtuse.

I saw Tmac at more contests as a presence, I felt like he was getting to the play more. Would I like to see 8 contested grabs and 4 goals, of course I would, the point is their is improvement. There are a few sides with rust it's a call for 3 more games before we get properly snarky about the coach. I'd like to see a little more fire and brimstone, sometimes it feels a little to millenial the coaching. Also I don't think he would naturally be like that, his style seems a bit forced and without passion, I want passion from the coach too. Deh, yes they have won 3 games, your point being? Lever this season or ever? The problem with a loss is all the flaws just seem like one big issue an inch from your nose. Breathe in your own time, take a step back and look a little more calmly. Lever has for instance shown he is capable of playing...

God that was tough to watch. 1, Tmac presented way more, this is a positive. Brown in for Melksham, Fritsch to fwd pocket. 2, Poor bastards are out of touch, is this the coach or two serious games in 10 months, breathe folks. 3, Goodwhen is like the anti-Neeld, he needs to find a compromise as the pendulum has swung too far the other way. Kudos to Waynewussel for calling for calm, but I just really would like to see a 'run' option game plan that uses our so called Burgess fitness. Or something, anything, this rabbit in the headlights instinct the players have developed terrifies me. 4, I really don't care what the whole footy world thinks, they can GAGF. These Einsteins thought the Sun's would be the spoon. Our list is not that bad, it is just about buying some belief, (could you tell me where it is for sale please?). 5, Lever needs touch, his 2018 was like this as well, he gets another game.

I hope the club could own it and fix it, this stuff always comes out in the end. I always thought the way Gary Lyon put his hand up as part of the problem was decent!

Roo is going to regret putting his head up last week after the game against GC. Media is going to hunt him now, Adelaide is the equivalent of chum 5 miles off shore from Port Lincoln...

Jacob Weitering has been having a stellar season and added another scalp this season, Tmac has another 2 weeks before going back....

Scratch match at the G curious to see what that tells us...

You can imagine every EFC player is allergic to testing. So [censored] off... I was looking forward to this game big time, I was confident, and I hate these cheats.

Can't be worse than Titus...

I always thought May was bought in to compete with the Franklin/Kennedy/Lynch types to replace what Chip gave. I don't think he's had enough, but by the end of this season we'll see. His age is perfect for that position, you need a heavy weight. Lever, I don't get the wailing, after Round 2 2018 Lever was in our best almost every week until a knee injury. Showed exactly what he can do, he has another likely 6 years. Able to become part of a flexible back 6. Totally worth the investment. The fact that he has improved his time trial is nothing but a positive.

I signed. I find it hard to split Kochie and Eddie though, more interested in perpetuating generational hate with Collingwood, as I have noticed some personal back sliding (an admiration for Buckley and Grundy/Pendlebury (he played basketball you know?)).

I thought the same. I think we look good in match ups, surprisingly so. Anthony William Watson McDonald-Tipungwuti - Is he playing, he's the only bloke on Essendons' list who I think can torch us. Last I heard he is injured?

AVB not the right horse for a wet track. Goody does have some insights about Essendon, he should be able to work out who from Hibberd/Melksham/Brown might have a bit of extra spark from the prospect of playing their former club. But I would prefer Melksham and Hibberd out of the team. With it being wet I think ANB's run is critical, he stays. Jones, my beloved, his time is not up, but needs a rest a'la Ablett, he is NQR and he deserves a go on the ball in a scratch match to find his mojo. I think Tmac is close, one more game before being dropped, I like his work off the ball. Brayshaw, one more game before getting itchy and ..... Picket and Jackson in/stay. SO out: Melksham, Jones In: Kossie, Lockhart. Smith forward, Tmac back.

Adelaide = AAA farm team

Hmmmmm, let me think about that..... NO Very tongue in cheek, and a comment on the forum not the poster!

Not enough of a sample size for 2020 yet - Before you all stick the boots in, he copped a big hit yesterday from McKay arriving late at a pack, initially I thought he was playing for a free, but I reckon he was out of it after half time.

Brayshaw copped a late hit from McKay, was surprised it wasn't a free, near end of 2nd I think. I don't think he was right after that.

So basically we are an Italian motorcycle looking for a German mechanic? On a serious note, no finals this year and I would seriously assess who is available as head coach, and not be troubled if the club said no thanks to Goodwhen.

Are people just jumping on a band wagon out of frustration, or is there some sort of covert campaign on his behalf? I see more people name checking him in various posts and am curious. I know nothing of Yze as a coach, it seems a pretty big call based on not alot of evidence. That Yze was a top flight player is not in doubt, although I remember him going missing more than once as a player. I look at Richmond and Collingwood who stuck fat with their coaches when everyone was losing, I'm not ready to bin Goodwhen yet and think it would be a backwards step, we're not losing players, I like our recruiting and our style was forced to change alot with 6/6/6. Yes I would like to see the magnets move a bit more. I actually thought the team changes for this round were fair considering those tossed were all guilty of bombing it. So anyway can one of his boosters please explain why Yze is some sort of messiah, or it Bruce or maybe Robertson?

Loved all the shoutouts he gave, his Mum, Ross, his agent, beyond I reckon what he would be taught to do, sounds like honest appreciation, suggests he is a quality bloke beyond being a brilliant footballer. Also just by the by but Ross always had wraps for HB as a bloke and a footy player. If HB had been able to get up sooner I reckon he'd still be coaching.

This thread could have many better titles, the Waleed Ali thread for instance, whats that loud ticking sound I hear??? Like the crocodile in Peter Pan... Why it's the mods about to shut it down, I can feel the fingers quivering.

Maybe, but Demonstone is a Border Collie to your Pekingese.
