i doubt he is a contender for a small forward role. It's wing or bust for JKH

Fourth means nothing to dees.... This means nothing to dees... Sung to the tune of

Agree with bolded bit. We looked awesome in that first quarter once we ramped up our contests. I think two factors played a part in our drop off in that game. The first is that after half time we had 4 or 5 different players come on the ground, most of whom were young or inexperienced. This impacted on our synergy and quality, whereas the tigers pretty much kept the same team on the park (you could see how well they knew each others game by the way they moved the ball from defence). The other factor was we decided to do hard training session in mid 30s temperature only a few days beforehand (something we wouldn't have done if the game was for premiership points) which must have taken a fair bit out of the players - particularly the bigs (who all struggled).

Disagree with much of this. JKH was dead unlucky to get dropped late last year. Runs and works hard. Is a neat kick and stays in the contest. I actually thought he was one of our better players against the tigers in the JLT game. Most on DL seem to agree that our recruiting team and football department get most things right these days. A view i certainly share. So it is safe to assume the club rate JKH as they saw fit to offer him a one year extension at the end of last year, on the back of what this article notes was a 'strong end to the 2018 season', something they simply would not have done if they 'saw little upside'. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-09-28/dee-kennedy-harris-earns-new-deal-after-strong-end-to-year

Fair dinkum where the [censored] are young men's' heads at? How immature do you have to be share videos of your 'conquests' - not to mention being a complete disrespectful [censored] to do so without consent. Happy International Women's Day indeed.

Great, now you can seriously get on it for a few weeks.

Just blame it on issues with the audio

Effectively a social club. Great atmosphere. Build us one dees!

I was there. The room was buzzing. If i recall correctly players were there too. We all premiership cups twinkling in our eyes. Talk about counting you chickens......

The other issue is that there is huge difference between use and abuse.

I think a key benefit is that it takes the control of the supply away from the evil mofos who currently control it - in Victoria hat is mainly bikes and of course organised crime. But i agree it is wicked drug. And i don't mean in a good way.

Fair enough. You have personal experience on your side of the argument, which is a pretty good start.

You will. But that answer will be that ice is small change and the impact of the ice 'epidemic' is blown way out of proportion, that the crazy ice head going ballistic in ER is largely a myth (though can happen) and that far and away the biggest drain on their resources and the most dangerous drug in terms of people going ballistic is alcohol.

Yep you're probably right about like Hodge on the talent front. There is a pretty good objective measure for 'greatness'. Any player picked in the hall of fame can be considered great. Hodge for example is a certain hof player

Largely agree with much of this. Wells pretty close to great. And perhaps also Elves. Not sure quite there though. In my time,the only unarguable great' has been flower. I reckon Gary hardeman, who was an out and out star, might also be close. This lack of star power not only has meant poor performance but is also a huge factor in our low membership. But things are changing. Blind freddy can see Oliver is destined to be a great. Gawn will be the best ruxk of his generation. A definite great. Brayshaw might be in the mix. Viney probably not on talent but perhaps through sheer force of will, leadershipand desire might be considered a great after his career finishes. A bit like Hodge..

It's not relevant how the AFL executive perform? Great they can relax. Chill. Snort some coke before they organize next year's fixture. Again. Oh and the exec are on way more than the average player so can afford all the coke they want. In any case if the issue is performance what about those players who perform better because some mull helps them wind down one in a while or a pill in the off season dancing at a festival.helps their mental health?

Because he is lippy And tells the umpires when they have made a blue. Often. And with conviction. And he gets stuck into opponents. Scraps and pushes and holds tbem down after tackles. All of which dees fans love. Tbe umpires not so much. I backed him for most brownlow votes for us last year. Was shocked that Brashaw won it. But shouldn't be. They love golden boy Brayshaw. Clarry not so much

Fair enough. He definitely won't hold a candle to neita as a dee. You would have to say that despite contributing to the dees history will show he was not fully invested in the way neita was - and still is.

Is that hassa manna?

Not sure the connection to Oliver but I was definitely one of those people. How do I feel now? 100% confident I will be proved correct. Why wouldn't I be? Neita is a true mfc great and one or my all time favorites. games record holder. Fantastic, inspirational skipper. Great team man. But if truth be told was not an A grader as his modest AA record attests. Early on had 1 great season whete it appeared he could be anything. Good but not great thereafter. Went through a period where he couldn't catch a cold. Jessie has had an incredible start to his career. Suoer consisyent. And if he keeps focused will get better. And be a level above neita

As i have noted before there there is no way Frost gets picked ahead of Oscar. No way. One i don't actually think they are competing for the same spot with Frost really in competition with may and smaller HB players. Secondly, and more importantly Frosty's kicking is simply too unreliable, as was on show yesterday. We have enough poor kicks in the side without picking one we have other options for. Also on show yesterday was that Frosty really struggles on on one in terms reading the flight of the ball and being out positioned. Both Frosty and Omac were pretty average yesterday but Omac was better than Frost. He is comfortably ahead of Frost (who by the way i have a lot of time for).

Was thinking much the same dazzler, particularly about Keilty. I liked what i saw and that mark also stood out for me. It cam after a bit on error so good he kept at it and reddemed the error. I love that. Seems thinner than i recall? Drunkn has he lost some weight?

My file is bigger than yours

Just got back from being out and watched all the races ii missed. Flemington looks like it is fair to all. No real leaders bias which is good for the racing, not so good for my selections. Marked Mr quickie but went with a leader Mr Ash (should have had a saver)/ Impressive win by Schabau. The oz stayers cannot hold a candle to the Europeans. Areal worry and i can't see it improving any time soon. Good win by She's so high. good price too, starting at 2.30.

Interesting day. I'm playing flemington for somewhere between a leaders bunn and suit on pace and made my selections accordingly. If I get that right I'm confident of a big day. My best is she's so high. Race 3 no 7 flemington. Will be too good for a small field and good value at 2.25 fixed atm
