Fabulous kick Chin But again we are looking a bit of a rabble. I hope we have a lot of learnings from tonight's debacle
-
Tall key forwards Petty BBB JVR - one solitary disposal to half time. Add Frittata - 2 disposals between them
-
Well at least, finally, this absolute joke of an AFL "support development competition" will get some games played.
-
Huge chance Dees to make a huge statement. One change only - Kozzie will be missed but the excitement of a new Kolt may almost cancel that out. Certainly looks as dynamic and as strong as Kozz. Will he make Kozz earn his return for ANZAC Eve? Backline settled and working beautifully as a UNIT / TEAM. Midfield always prepared for good hard go and a forward line working with better structure and some smart delivery to space by the likes of Duke Tracc Spaz ANB with Frittata slipping unnoticed out the back often enough. And Clarrie at 70% is so much better than many others at 100% - just wait, I must add JVR's back up ruck work is very good for one s0 young who is not a "natural ruckman".

Thanks for posting that, Chook. It takes us all back a long time, into the Dark Ages, but Tom has certainly been a stayer. I seriously wonder if anyone, Tom included, thought that he would be such an important instrumental player in 2024 after the disappointments of 22 and 23. A tribute to hard work, guts and determination, and perseverance. Well done Tom. PS early in the clip I saw one of my old favorites, not known for his skills but for his hard work and endeavor, our previous redhead #13 Jordie McKenzie.

Standing still ain’t an option - full kudos to the entire club from recruiters, fitness staff, specialist and line coaches as well as Goody of course for the way our club develops talent these days. We have had some fantastic newbies since 2021 - Bowey, Chandler, JVR, McVee, Howes, Windsor etc (humble apologies for any I have missed) . Just hoping that the naturally slower developing talls Jefferson and Adams and Verral are all allowed time to make their mark. Exciting times for Dees supporters.

I have heard rumour that there are already multi multi million class actions in progress that could break the AFL, and even affect the bonuses of the directors 😮 . . . and that the “events of last September” may have even pushed these harder.

DB - as has been pointed out, play those bits at 2x speed or jump forward 15 or 30 seconds. Surely the Grand Old Flag would be a more appropriate tune. Though the Bohemian start above was pretty promising.

It is the inconsistency that pi5535 so many of us off. Greene not even cited, because had he been it would be worth4+, and the other guy (can’t remember who) who got the same penalty for a much more serious hit. It is no wonder that there are conspiracy theorists about, and that there are some who suggest that the AFL is a corrupt organisation. Incompetent and inept are perhaps better descriptions.

spirit - you mean they don’t just talk spin and bumf to please the media and the donors. They tell the truth. I will take our Demonlanders every day. A long time ago but weren’t there proper nouns (capitalised) and common nouns though it probably now regarded as elitist or classist or colonialist or demeaning to use such differentiation.

Imagine how Soligo would have gone had Kozzie not had such a medium impact on him 😮
-
MC is not the sharpest tool in the shed it would appear. When he used to present his adjudications on tv he never seemed to follow a coherent pattern.

Poor bugger has never had an injury free run. Prior to the season he would have been next in line - now the resurrection of TMc and the reemergence of Hore has him way back in the queue Good luck Disco.
-
Maybe they are reserving “low impact” for a Moloney Bartel near miss?

Agree 100% that Kozzie needs to get this out of his game but in what world was that impact “medium”. How could it be anything other than minor as the guy played straight on. The impact levels are frankly pulled out of that inept Collingwood / AFL apologist Christian’s back side in a semi random manner - semi random because it does actually depend on the offenders club. Would that be “medium” were it Cripps or Neale or even #4💩? No way. It ain’t paranoia when everyone really is out to get you. 🤗

In 2023 he amazed me with his calmness In 2024 he amazes with even more calmness and unbelievable mature thinking and disposal to advantage, under pressure. He is becoming a leader of the backline and it is hard to believe he has played just 30 games and is only 20 yo. Lock him in for a decade
-
Nobody knocking the door down at Casey because the brilliantly conceived and managed feeders comp AFL seem so happy about has had another bloody bye for all teams - and three poor unfortunates are going to have another in a row the following week. For a billion dollar industry its involvement in supporting its clubs (sorry, licence holders) is absolutley third world standard. Obviously just doesn’t generate enough money to boost the executives’ bonuses. Killing a dead kangaroo doesn’t make you a big game hunter. It may make you think you anre until you meat a real opponent the following week.
-
Have any of the junior watchers seen anything of Doherty or Pyke? Are either showing any forward tendencies as well as their ruck work?
-
Disagree with Laurie next in line for Koz. If not now when for Kolt or Pup, or even Sestan? Billings could go for any of these three also.
-
Agree, except Koz not composed. The stupid likely suspension aside, he also could easily have had Petty’s mark reversed for a silly meaningless late bump. Well who doesn’t? Leadership need to have a long hard lack to him. Could cost us a big game later in the season if he continues this. He is NOT a thug but let’s himself and the team down. Susa an archetypical Frittata goal. ❤️💙❤️💙 Maybe stunnicity at its bestest?
-
Needs at least a few weeks at Casey -
Scheduling, plus (in retrospect) poor player management, almost cost us
-
And the schedulers can stick it in a dark unpleasant place too
