A fit and firing. Melk and Salem is a big leap in potential for goals. If only 2 or 3 extra, from someone else even. We will win more than lose the next few games

No point in being Cherry Ripe after some Casey games and we miss the finals. we either win 6 or so of the last few games or go home early and I think he would contribute at least one extra goal than whoever he replaces either as a direct scorer or as a forward 50 general . He and Fritta can run in different directions. so bring in Melky in my view. if this year is to be any value now is the time to start winning again. Go Dee’s

Same as 50 years ago look bigger. Make more noise, rip up more phone books etc

Melksham can lead us to the premiership and the promised land we all deserve. Both him and Tomlinson deserve a fairy tale we all want. Why the hell not !

Age should not be a problem, when he went out, he was playing extremely well. he has had 10 months to get his body cherry ripe. He will have no niggles holding him back. perhaps his mental attitude is another matter but watching him last week on the bench. He cannot wait.

Thanks, 10 years ago convinced a niece to support the Dee’s. First game she has seen (13 now) with her mum I think. Good to have support around. Go Dee’s

Both of Melky and Salem are ( when playing at their top) best 22 without a doubt. Whether they are in that form now , but I would think both straight in ! And no other changes. Perhaps Petty and Windsor a rest.

Please pardon my ignorance WCW but, is the area where the cheer squad sit, all ticketed, for this game against the Eagles. Or with GA tickets can you walk there and sit down, Cheers thanks

Yes all you need to do is score more than your opponents, but consistent scoring of at least 3 seems to do it. Bit like the "filth" last year winning games by less than a goal and in the finals, All you need is to be in front at the end of the game, but how you get there makes supporting them easier. I still have no idea of what to expect this week, though on average over the last 3 or 4 years we should turn up and win well.

Obviously a pressure game Last week in 3 quarters we kicked 3 goals in 3 quarters they kicked 2 not sure I know what to expect

1987. Now that was a run to get to the finals . A fantastic couple of months to be a demon supporter.

Melky back in. And Salem back in now that’s becoming strong team, but who goes out ?

You have to love this thought

Pure demonland extract !

Bah humbug OFF WITH THEIR HEADS !!

Pretty easy Dunkley 5 and 4 Kossy 4 and 5 My Luggage 3 and 3 Viney 2 and 2 Zorko 1 n 1 very consistent coaches votes, they both saw the game in a similar way

It surely will not be a sold out event, I get to the Essendon game and that likewise will be a walk up Go Dees two wins in a row please

Think these are about correct, very pleased that AnB, Tmac Mc vee especially monners had good games may tommo and lever as well

A lot of LEARNINGS to come out of this game. Good to see the young blokes yesterday playing like they belonged. Absolute shirty about how we played first and last quarters, but Brisbane played well in the 4th, I think I felt there was bias, did we get any free kicks from Brisbane grabbing our guys incorrectly or was it just our tackles that got us those kicks ? If this is shown to be true we should ask questions, don't be nice about it. Umpires should be paid more but have decisions reviewed by someone with no bias. And it should be transparent. the 50 metre against Petty was by the crowd reaction, pathetic, and Rivers running too far plain wrong. ANB did dive over, but heat of the moment, not why we lost. Our forwards try hard, and at least we came to play last night. BUT there does not seem any clear connection or plan about who to pass it to or where to run when bringing the ball into our F50. We did seem to do OK in the 2nd though. But 3 quarters for 3 goals, that's our problem. Not happy bring on 2025

Played better for only two quarters one goal in two quarters is {censored} {censored}. Not very good. mr number 22 in yellow. A lot keep complaining about him. But how many times have we had him and how many times did we lose ?

If Pup knew he only had one week there is no problem. I see this as the long game. We are going nowhere this year without a lot of luck and Petty and Melky coming really good. So work out who can play and who cannot , different venues and different opponents equals different debut players. Do not mention The German afrika Corp and their Panzers. go Dee’s Hope to be proved wrong.

Perhaps Sparra to run with Zorko ? Chin with Ashcroft . If Oliver tagged too heavily swap him with Kossy. Is there a plan C or D ?

Still not confident of a win, very much the other way. But Lever back in solidifies the backs a bit. I see Tmac giving Max. Rest swinging forward it back where needed. so perhaps it will not be a 50 point loss, with the back line working. Monners in for pup I am disappointed but if they knew it might happen, not concerned re development. our mids will need to work better. Rivers to stay, he looked a natural in that position. I hope Sparra can come good. Viney is doing too much. And max, hit it to our blokes. our forwards is why I think we will lose , JvR to stay on the ground the whole game, fritta and petty do something. and Kossy cause mayhem just run anywhere and get clear. If no one else is contesting the mark. Go for it ! Go Dee’s 35-40 pints I think.

Understand a strong mfcss it’s a bit like long covid, just does not go away . i think the line should be 48.5. 2 goals a quarter, we can play better than that but so can they, Their ground, they are playing well, we are not, they have enough very good players plus Ashcroft back. I can’t wait ! Go Dee’s

So you are 100% sure he will not be on our list next year. I just think he might be. Had a year of complete non contact, his body will go at least one more full year. and our Forward line is much better with him there, playing well of course, hard game against Brisbane !
