Your not wrong, Geelong all over them.

SEN played a snippet of an interview with Pert from a week or so earlier today and he said he anticipated a crowd of 45 to 50 thousand. It was in relation to some people wanting the Essendon v Hawthorn game shifted to the MCG and our game being moved to Docklands. He clearly said on the weekend a crowd in the mid twenties, obviously after pre game sales were poor.

This will be some win if the Swans can hang on and hopefully Essendon lose by a point.

We won and beat a team we needed to if we are to make finals which is great but boy do we still have some worries.

Four goals up at quarter time and apart from May we have been garbage lucky Fremantle have been worse.

Yep they should, not sure it will be fun when they play us though.

Carlton are definitely on the up, they may miss out on finals but they are going to be battling the likes of us for a spot in the eight that’s for sure.

Great goal.

A few surprises in there for mine. 1- Mick Malthouse still has a job in the media. 2- Mick Malthouse didn’t have the Dees for the wooden spoon. 3- Surprised any expert picked us to make the eight quite frankly. Just a much better and safer option to pick another team. Don’t get me wrong I think we can and should make the eight but I am certainly not putting any money on it.

There’s only one player on our list I am worried about losing this year and he’s not a free agent. If we have another garbage year and Oliver leaves that will be me pretty much done and dusted I think.

Sorry I can’t recall the exact use of the word, but it definitely sent a shiver down my spine. Other than that I liked the sound of him, he wants to carry on wearing number 50. I really hope it works out for both him and the club.

Just interviewed on SEN, the word learning was mentioned he’s going to fit right in at Melbourne.

Just curious if you can explain the long game part at all. Does this mean where trying to free up salary cap space and target free agents or looking at bringing in more draft picks? Given the club has been so bullish on our list over the last 18 months, I am interested in what this plan is.

The clubs being pro active in anticipation of Oliver leaving next year.

There’s know doubt finances have played a big part in the outcomes of the review old dee. One of my worries is what happens if we don’t make finals next year, how can Pert sack Goodwin and not go himself after his review has clearly identified there are major issues with Goodwins coaching. Next year is the biggest year I can remember for this club.

DeeSpencer I will give you a little support on this. While I wouldn’t be trading Weiderman out for a second round pick I would certainly be open to put him in a package to get another top line on baller. I mentioned it in the Zac Merrett thread that I would look at Weiderman and a pick to get him with Brown coming to the Dees and I would still do that. I am really scared with our coach and a forward line consisting of Brown, Weiderman, Melksham and Fritsch how quickly we’ll organised clubs will have the ball rebounding out of our forward line.

Well I am certainly not surprised by the results of the review but I am far from impressed with the outcomes of it. I mean at what point does a coach in his fourth year on the back of three years of a succession plan by a premiership coach feel the heat. Improvements in game plan, performance consistency and skill execution all seem to fall under the coaches watch all with an improving list. I have no faith in anyone making any important decisions at this club.

Travis Boak won the Port Adelaide B and F in 2019.

What a goal what a freak.

My picture was no good on 107 then turned Foxtel off and much better on CH70 on free to air.

Have you got it on CH 70?

I will be very surprised if Mahoney is at the club next year and I will be questioning if we need to review our reviews if he is.

Cats v Tigers what a sickening outcome, who do I want to see lose more Hardwick, Lynch, Jack and Cotchin or Dangerfield it really is line ball.

While I want Brisbane to win, Geelong are getting screwed by the umpires.

Well your one step in front of me old dee, I haven’t received anything like that yet and I think I sent my letter off a couple of days after you. I hope the review is completed soon. I for one am very uneasy that where coming into one of the most important trade / draft periods in my time following the club and where potentially got people who have been making poor decisions still there.
