GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast
Second game on the trot for me and the young bloke! hard to turn around in this town without seeing another article about Harley Reid. The boy can play, but one player doesn’t make a midfield. They are no Cripps, Walsh, Cerra… and I don’t think Jack Viney will be as easy to ‘don’t argue’ as some of his other victims this year! Weather will be glorious.. looking forward to a beautiful spectacle of slick ball movement against some blue and yellow witches hats. dees by 52

TRAINING: Wednesday 8th May 2024
For the record, I was there today (from Perth no less), so my experience in doing training reports is even sketchier than WCW! was there nice and early and watched 30 odd minutes of Melksham and salo go one on one. even to my uneducated eye, Jake must be pretty close, seemed to be going at full speed (salo not so much) and was moving well and kicking them nicely. The training sessions itself seemed pretty casual, goal kicking practice looked pretty relaxed. Chin seems a great fella who is often supportive of others efforts. some of the midfield drills looked pretty clean, though one suspects everything looks easier at training. everyone seemed in high spirits, and the boys were good natured when my kids chased them down after for some photos and signatures. much love to Maysie (whom my wife and daughter were quite giddy over), Rick, Maxt, tmac, chin, Caleb and kozzie, and special shout out to Marty Hore who was an absolute champ! all the best tomorrow boys

How do footy contracts work
I suspected as much. I was just curious after watching Jeremy Howe break his arm, doing what Jeremy Howe does. I was wondering how that would affect his contract, as obviously he’s not picking up match payments for the next 6 months. which seems somewhat unfair (being injured mid game) as opposed to being out of form.

How do footy contracts work
Hey Team, something I’ve often wondered. When a players contract is reported as say $600k per year, is that broken up as being say $400k base and 200k in match payments? And is that different if you are out of the side due to form (not collecting match payments) versus injured cheers

GAMEDAY: PF vs Geelong
Currently on the train to the game. I reckon dees supporters outweigh the cats by 10 - 1! should be a sea of red and blue there tonight. will be great for the boys to play in front of a roaring crowd for the first time in a while!

Barcodes for Perth Based Fans
Hey guys, much like every other Perth dees fan, I’d love a chance to get to the game as well. Even better for a chance to meet a couple of other dees fans for a beer or two before the game! Will just be me, as the 30 week pregnant wife is a non starter! For proof I’m not an eagles nuffie , I’m happy to supply video of me dancing like a moron after the end of the cats game! Ps - as I’m based in Perth, with a baby on the way, I’m no chance of making the grand final, so you can rest easy on that front!

Wallace Calls Out Goody
I’ve long been intrigued by statements if this ilk on demonland and other supporter forums. Do you think that Goodwin and the rest of the team are thinking ‘Dave from Perth is cool with it’ so we just won’t try this week? is there some form of after training event where we all get together and give the players hugs and hand out flowers? if not for the fact that they get paid bloody well to play footy, they’ve all grown up being the ‘alpha dog’ in their footy clubs growing up and being used to winning, and the fact that as humans the player don’t want to see themselves on the back page of the paper being the recipient of cheap shots from the media, surely that’s motivation enough. i call BS that the willingness of any football punter to accept mediocrity / demand greatness has anything at all to do with an individual football teams levels of motivation, desire, and general attitude around wanting to win on a weekly basis. For the record, I reckon we’ll beat the Eagles this week. Go dees
