Which 2s players (with the exception of JVR) do you think will have an immediate impact in the seniors next season? Who do you think will be a regular by the end of the year?

I thought clubs weren't allowed to court players under contract mid-season? In hindsight you can tell he was already in Freo from that point on. His heart wasn't in it. I know we were trying to win a flag and also get the most value for him on the trade table but it would have been nice if we could have let him rot out the year in the 2s.

Let talk about key stats. We won the disposal count, inside 50s, free kicks, hitouts, contested possessions, marks inside 50, contested marks. We got belted in the pressure department, pressure acts, tackles and hence turnovers and scores from turnovers. Is the latter the reason we couldn't capitalise on the former?

Kozzy's knee was heavily strapped this week and he appeared to be limping most of the match and didn't have the usual zip that he has. Is he injured? Thankfully we played him but should we be playing players that are clearly injured.

He’ll play for the Dees at some point this season.

Anyone know what time the Big Freeze slide starts and are they televising it again this year?

What’s the quality like? Is looks on the thin side. Doesn’t look warm enough for a cold winters day.

I can’t see every man and his dog being able to line up for a photo with the cup. That will take hours and hours. Everyone will want one. This might be an unpopular opinion to the masses but those of us that have forked out for guaranteed Grand Final tickets should 100% be given this opportunity.

I have no problem with the mail that @Dr evil provided. It was the method by which that mail kept arriving. He was completely smug in his protestations that Smith would 100% be a Demon. He didn't endear himself with me and it seems many others on here with his assertions that ultimately proved 100% wrong. You cannot be half pregnant. He may have good mail and good contacts and I would not have minded if he got this one wrong, as things can definitely change very quickly at this time of the year, if he hadn't been so arrogant with his declarations.

Criticism of Dr Evil is rightly deserved. It is the silly season and whispers and inside information is certainly appreciated but this guy continually doubled down and categorically stated that Smith would 100% be a Demon. Things most certainly are fluid at this time of the year but It will be almost impossible to take anything Dr Evil says seriously ever again.

Honestly, we're in dreamland if we think Tmac & Preuss are worth a first rounder. It does not matter how many second, third or fourth round picks are thrown in. Sure GWS might have a need for a ruck and perhaps a forward or defender but neither would go for a second round pick on their own Preuss might get 3rd round. Neither player could barely get a game this year. If by some chance GWS fell for this we'd definitely be paying for Tom's salary.

I'm very worried about TMac and his salary biting us. Did we get ahead of ourselves after 2018 trying to lock in a dream team that not only stagnated but went backwards?

That is true but I doubt it will be TMac's choice if the Dees want to offload and trade him. My big concern in regards to offloading Tom is that that we might be stuck footing the bill for a good chunk of his salary. I would hate for this to bite us in terms of landing other trade targets.

Saints have Butler, Kent and Hill (yeah not technically a forward). Leave some small forwards for the rest of us.

This surely hurts our chances of offloading Tommy McDonald. Are any clubs a serious chance to take Tom and who will be paying his salary? GWS played the long con to finally land Hogan. Well played GWS. Well played.

That's some serious doubling down right there. I assume things can still change now that Geelong's season is over. Unless he has already physically signed on with the Demons surely nothing is set in stone.

On a serious note who are our main competitors for his signature? Essendon? North?

Better call the Richmond Doctor to conduct it.

Only one highlight against the Dees. All hail OMac.

Take 2 first Draft picks or a wad of cash out of the equation and we’re just not an attractive club for a player or another club to deal with.

Goodwin was outcoached by a first year coach. Players only showed fight in the last 12 minutes. There is rot throughout this whole club. Not many tickers either.

Goodwin & Richardson have no idea how to stem the flow. The sooner these jokers are gone the better. Few players are past their used by date too. Looking at Jones.

Why must we play on every single time.

Finally a kick to a leading forward.

Let Pickett take a shot. Pickett and Jackson look to handball every single time.
