Pennant St Dee

Like Mitchell but would put Mark HUTCHINGS from West Perth in front of Blackwell on 2012 performances

Red & Blue till either me or the club passes, thats all that needs to be said

Just out of curiosity have you seen Martin play and I am not having a go just wondering. And not talking about TV I am talking live. I have doubts about his workrate and attitude, any doubts I had on Hogan were washed away yesterday. Spoke to someone involved with WAFL club and Doggies are into Hogan as well and will be chasing him through mini draft

Since there has been talk of Wellingham I have watched him closely and whilst he is a good player who works hard, he is a small fish in a big pond. I'm thinking he would be exposed like Des Headland was when he left the Lions. Would not pay him big money, his disposal is not great and to be talking $600k, that is what the Saints have offered Goddard and Welingham certainly is not worth that. I would ask the club to be cautious here

I was there today and say take him, I wasn't previously sold on giving up one of our early picks but after todays display he looked very good hada presence and a bit of arrogance. I watched Dayle Gartlett & Koby Stevens in the seniors & Garlett Did a couple of nice things, kicked a great snap that was class. Has quality but IMO lacks a high work rate and doesn't look to push himself. The Swans were able to get Jetta to lift his workrate and that may happen with Garlett, but something they need to sort out at interview Stevens Opposite to Garlett, high workrate but lacks polish, his disposal was good when he had space but butchered it a little when under pressure. Would not use a pick above the third round for him but his work ethic and intensity are positives

FFS watch him play and I mean watch his attack at the ball, he is everything our previous draft c%#k ups aren't, and I think the key indicators for new targets via the draft will be Hunger Hardness Desire Work Ethic Tick all these boxes and you are coming to us

I don't mind Dockers supporters, but the other mob, I am an Irish Catholic who follows Celtic and I can honestly say I hate Meth Coast more than I hate Rangers.

35 years, professionalism and many other things make your arguement about comparing generations flawed

Prior to immigrating to Australai with my family and in the early to mid 90's as an adult I lived on the foot of the Dublin/Wicklow mountains in Tallaght, which is west of Rathfarnam where the great man hails from. I used to spend a lot of time running in the mountains and Sally Gap is a beautiful place and I can understand why Jimmy wished for his ashes to be scattered there. I am heading back next year for a wedding and shall take my kids to Sally Gap to pay my respects to the great man. R.I.P Jim we (the Dees) will make you proud one day

Red & Blue till I die, signed up every year as are my two boys, even the Pie, who please god will come to his senses with some good performances in the future

FFS how many threads are going to be started re JV, it's not that difficult he will be a Dee next year and we will use whatever pick it takes. If we want Toumpas or O'Rourke than stay away from the Mini draft another Jesse Hogan will pop up next season and if not and we still have plenty of room in the salary cap Patton and Cameron are only signed up to the end of 2013. Jack Viney at 3 if we have to does not concern me, Fyfe, Rioli, Dangerfield were not rated top 5 now look at them they would all be at least Top 3 Just take him

Its good to hear, this is what Meth Coast do, I live near a few of them and see them keeping themselves in shape in the off season. Nev Jetta has a lot of heart, is naturally hard and will do whatever the coach asks, he's a keep for me Dunn is not rated by a lot of Demonlanders but he can play many roles and is required for depth. Found a niche down back in the second half of the season. I'm pretty sure they will be ahead of many others in being kept on the list

+ 1 2006 Stevie Armstrong Premiership Player was delisted the year before as he couldn't get a game for us

WYL sometimes it's okay to say your wrong, Frawley has all of them covered and all of them would have struggled in our side, I'll even back Tommy Mac against a lot of them.

Frawley is a better defender than Tarrant, O'Brien, Schoenmakers, Stratton, Dawson & the 2012 Matty Scarlett

Yep Clarko would take them in a heartbeat

WYL you are blinded by your own negativity What you have failed to acknowledge in your posts is the lack of leadership has thrown a lot of our boys in the deep end as far as responsibilty A lot of them would be fine surrounded by stars I also note you conveniently let Jamar and Frawley out of your answer Mattner, Schoenmakers, Duffield, Pearce, Hunt, Mcmahon, Puopolo, Seedsman, Bailey, Stratton, Wright,Bradley, Spurr, Stratton, Simpkin are a few who played finals so far and don't for one minute believe they are better than a lot of players on our list. They play a role in their sides. One day the penny will drop and you will realise it's a solid core group you need of about 8-12. We are about 4/5 players away from that in fact we have some of them who need to get a few more pre seasons into them and more understanding of the game plan

Is it true WYL when you lost your virginity you still remained negative. Your fookin kidding yourself, you talk about none of our players being up to September bar Jones and Clark. Frawley would walk into Hawthorns backline and Collingwoods, Jamar would play in both those sides as well, Grimes, Blease, Trengove (our captain you write off at any given chance) will all be players and the little I have seen of Viney shows he also has the hunger. These 4 would all perform roles in all of the finals teams when surrounded by class players. Put the noose and the sharp objects away FFS

Good post, he has just been out of form and still pushing to 60 goals for the season. I went to the Meth Coast v Pies game a few weeks ago and whilst he was out of form his work rate and desire to get to a contest was phenominal. would be a big asset to any team and Collingwood would be crazy to lose him

Goddard will be a Saint or a Docker!

To be honest the last two days have restored my confidence, no more tail wagging the dog. The new culture which begun with new leadership is now continuing. Neeld was fair when he came in last season and did not cull players without giving them chances now if you aren't prepared to reach certain standards your out

Yes well done on big noting yourself, I hope they didn't hit it off as you have already outed her as someone who can't keep things to themselves. Thank christ it wasn't anything major the media would have picked up on

Has Matt Rosa signed up with Meth Coast, would be a good get is underated in their side, gut runs and provides a lot of options to his team mates by being able to find space. Gaff and Kerr are explosive and do the occassional hard gut running to provide options but Rosa does it all day, biggest problem would be trying to pry him away from one of the contenders who's window will be open for a few more years. Would take a fair bit of coin

The club was fractured when he arrived he is putting the pieces back together and moving on those who do not wish to give what it takes to get us where we want to be. To Brett while it ended badly this year time catches up with all of us and as it did with Greeny last year it can catch you quickly. For the service you gave the club previously thank you for your efforts. Best of luck to you in the future

Sue the point re loving families is general and I don't want to streotype any indigenous people the same way I believe you should not streotype western society. Everyone is different even the indigenous families differ. I choose not to work as a fly in fly out worker despite the monetary rewards. It would mean I am away from my children for 3 out of 4 weeks. Does that make a Fly in fly out worker different to an indigenous player who leaves his home to play AFL
