    Max Gawn, in my mind, has the rite too captain and lead this club forever, if it were possible! After listening to tracca in the interview for his 200th I feel like he’s ready and committed to help lead our Dee’s into the future. Maybe the big fella and his gold nugget vc step aside and make our million dollar boys Capt and vc.

    Apologies if it is thought provoking (it’s the heat in Agnes W) but I laughed at the thought too, but here, I’ve put on record.

    How good is it to see the Dee’s playing good cohesive footy again albeit with too many mistakes at the moment🤙❤️💙❤️💙

    Several users have reported issues when trying to post from their iPads. However, I haven't yet received specific details regarding the age of their iPads or whether they are running the latest software updates. Older iPads often stop receiving software updates from Apple, which classifies them as 'end of life.' Consequently, these older devices and outdated software versions may encounter compatibility problems not only with this site but also with other websites and applications. Unfortunately, resolving these compatibility issues is beyond my control.

    So like myself my iPad is old and can’t b updated…bugga🤪

    Agree it's been hard to watch our style over the last few years, but those wanting Goodwin to change to a more attacking style without player personnel changes are going to be very disappointed with the result. Yeah we might score more, but we are going to get routinely smashed.

    Our style has been matched to our playing group. We are slow and we do not have many good true contest winners. We've lost 2 of them in Hibberd and Brayshaw, and now probably have Gawn, May and Oliver (at his best) who can win those contests that genuinely decide scoring opportunities (McVee and Rivers show signs of being able to out point opponents when they get exposed in contests where they don'thave numbers to help them out). Freo, like Collingwood, have smacked us by exposing our weakness in aerial contest by moving the ball through areas where we don't have numbers advantages.

    If we want to go more attacking with this playing group, they are going to need to bust their butts applying pressure and creating turnovers around the contest, and getting back to help our defence after we turn the ball over (and we're going to need to acquire some better contest winners). We have fallen so far off in the pressure department that it's just really hard to see this happening. 

    Good post rufus and you’ve got a better footy brain than me.
    Lots of hard work needed in the off-season

    My take on this tracca saga is pretty simple. Our brand of defensive footy, that won us a PREMIERSHIP, has become too easy too beat. Tracca’s frustration with it was on display in the Alice against freo. They walked all over us that day, it was embarrassing, and then repeated it again in WA. 

    Goody, I love ya pal, but ffs let’s attack the preseason with an offensive game plan, we still have the defensive power with May, Lever and co. Our skillset need’s a lot of work Chocco.

    Tracca to Goody-Our game plan sucks mate let’s change or I want out.

    love ya’s all demon family.

    No enjoyment in that loss, no enjoyment in the way we play, no enjoyment for the players who should be able too enjoy what they do, play footy. A premiership in “21” where we played some of the best footy I’ve ever seen played by any team, pure enjoyment it was. We’ve come nowhere near that level of footy since, unfortunately only sparodic enjoyment. I have no idea, but that mob we played today seem to no how to enjoy their footy Goody! I hate being negative towards our players, coaches or the mighty MFC. I hope there’s some enjoyment ahead.

    Geez we now have a lot of WA’s talent on our list, is it possible we are looking at a future trade for, possibly, the best midfielder going around. I’m still dirty on LJ going home, hopefully Harley wants too come home to his mums cooking too. Delusional, maybe, but having bargaining chips up the sleeve would help if my delusion came too fruition. It’s medicinal b4 you ask😜

    Overpowering them was always going to happen. We just had too much class all over the ground. That said the disposal in the first half was a bit shocking.

    Max, Lever, Turner, Rivers and May were great.

    Viney looked like he was going through the motions. Petty and Chandler very disappointing. TMac's kicking was back to 2014 levels!

    Brizzy dee I think said, Drop T Mac, deetox said, his kicking 2014 level, really, he wasn’t alone kicking badly and I reckon he’s been solid every game this year. Pretty sure Goody won’t be dropping him on his current form. It was certainly ugly in the first half but as usual our Dee’s just keep on going for 4 quarters, and that is why I can trust this team, brilliant or ugly.

    Such a great win for the team, club and us supporters. In hostile territory away from home against a good team, no May and definitely not favoured to win. Our game plan just stands up under enormous pressure, credit to Goody and the coaching staff and off course the lads for executing that plan. Stats mean diddly squat with that commitment and execution to a game plan that works. Even tho JVR didn’t have a great game he still made his impact felt for the team and ferals, I thought he was great relieving gawny. And how good was bbb and fritta sticking it up em? The boys certainly amped up the grand ol flag in celebration too. And too the dee army, although small ova there understandably, I could hear ya’s on the box plenty of times, well done💙❤️. Congrats JV your a legendary warrior for our mob.

    Caleb Windsor is one of the best talents I've seen come through in years. He's going to be an absolute star.

    His rundown tackle was sublime. There’s some familiarities about this kid, just the way he moves. Caleb and Judd Mc are silky smooth with skill and time. ❤️💙

    Nearly 7k down on this time last year is a fair chunk to make up.

    Not sure our marketing's been very inspiring or prominent enough since the flag TBH.

    The off field stuff might have impacted somewhat also.

    Quick can we hide these figures from the media🤪

    Days of old where revenge would have been swift, on dog acts on the footy field, have long past for the better of our game. I would hate to watch any of our boys try too physically seek revenge on that f…ker, a waste of energy and it means their not concentrating on what our team does best, play good footy. I’d like to see no acknowledgement of that f…ker at all from our boys, no hand shake and only a cold stare into him, and of course within the rules of play make him feel the anger we Demons have of his dog act on Gus. ANYBODY who’s played footy knows that hit WAS with intent. Geez I hate that team.
