Pennant St Dee

Meth Coast, there's no sporting team I despise more on the planet. An Irish Catholic by birth I hate them more than I hate Rangers

IMO Hibbos first half was woeful. Fumbled and disposal was way off, he's fitter than last year but his kicking ain't anywhere near where it was previously. Only pre season but the penetration he had previously doesn't look to be there. I'm a Spargo fan, he's got footy smarts and used it well with limited posession also provided good pressure. Lockhart looks a gem with the full pre season behind him

It's not the same 59k Eagles fans v 1k Dees full house as opposed to 30k Dees and 2-3k Eagles at the G Less intimidating for the umps Get a good start and silence the crowd like we did last season and in Rd 22 2018

Cheers all, I think the Napier is the one, will head to both when I'm back in Melbourne next

Is that the Fitzroy pub with footy memorabilia all over the walls, was there a few years ago and always meant to head back

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Mike, November Oscar, Papa, Quebec Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor Whiskey, Xray, Yankee and Zulu

Well said I'm actually laughing at some of the comments on here from some who shouldn't surprise. They forget how important he is when fit and the impact he has. No more important player in the 2018 finals who stood up when needed. He's played that way bleeding for the jumper since Round 1, 2013 I anticipate if the clear run he's had this pre season continues he will prove a lot of people wrong.

I understand that and have posted 25 players in that list, I also believe the Wagners, Joel Smith and young Rivers are ahead of him. IMO he's gone backwards

Exactly where is Hunt best 22 can't see it myself B. Jetts May Hibberd HB. Lever Omac Salem C. Langdon Viney Tomlinson HF. Melk Weid Trac F. Fritsch Tmac Kossie/Spargo R. Gawn, Oliver Brayshaw IC. Harmes, Brown, Jones, Nibbler, Lockhart, Sparrow

Agree I think he's good depth and I'm sure it's not all he did in the game but people see what they want to see and ignore the rest

Yes there was last year it was, not 100% certain on the exact poster but recall it was one of the grenade throwing brigade talking about inside knowledge of a major rift between players and the coaching group. And I'm still waiting on their predicted blood letting which was to occur when coaches were moved on

He did not make the WA team

Only a practice game so will cool my jets but on my observation from watching Petracca - wow shown glimpses of that but certainly not over 4 quarters Weid - did very well against O'Brien who is no slouch and was good around the ground Clarrie- does what he does looked a little less handball focused Lever - Impressive intercepts and looked much better by foot Sparrow- like what I saw got his hands on it a bit and will improve, a lot to like about this kid Brown/Tmac - having 2 targets was good and saw us capable of bringing the ball to ground more although must remember Crows weren't exaexactly big down back. Tmac certainly showed if he's fit he's going to cause issues in second halves AVB - stats lie, this bloke is important around the contest and impacting our ability to defend against the fast break Viney - looked fit and ran the game out well was back to influencing around the stoppages Jackson- very raw and a fair way off, but boy does he have some impressive traits, he has a fantastic leap, some mongrel and quick hands for a tall. Kossie - was very exciting 1st half but they tightened up on him which whilst limiting him, creates opportunities for others Lockhart - looked good and the full pre season has helped him Jones - set up defensive with our forward press and made the most of his opportunities. Looked to be moving well till he copped what looked like a corkie to the shin Loved the hard run and the ability to find space Langdon showed I also liked Tomlinsons game not huge stats but provides run and a link with transition as a marking target Salem - liked his game used the ball well for first hit out and going to be very important with his delivery inside 50 if he plays higher up the ground I think with Max back, Weid moves forward and Fritsch will also provide more class inside 50 Certainly a stark difference in fitness levels compared with being over run by the Tigers and Lions last year

Another game we shouldn't have lost, which will cost us as it has for the last 3 years

I don't rate him Dazzle, poor disposal, poor decision maker and whilst he has speed he makes decisions the same way., without considering all options IMO he's depth

Don't argue with this idiot, he's not a Dees fan. Fact is Garry Lyon approached Kelly over getting Ross Lyon and Kelly told him he was renogiating his contract with St Kilda. Ross blind sided his agent, which in hindsight was understandable as Kelly was also Mark Harvey's agent The troll has it all wrong again in so many ways

2005

Cheers L36 for the updates

It's a farce that Nesbitt is still in that role, he was the Architect of brushing everything under the carpet. 15 years on he talks differently in public when questioned about the health of some of those players now, but he knew a lot of what was going on and they chose a flag tilt over players long term health. I've had a fair bit to do with the Cousins family and it's a tragedy how Ben has turned out, as a parent it's not nice to witness and the media actually need to just leave it alone

Great effort in the wet and valuable win for the Girls

Have you boys not been told before never argue with an idiot Especially one with a selective agenda

Have a glance over training reports and responses whenever a player goes down at training. Deelanders carry on like we are the only club this happens to

Nothing to see here, if they aren't prepared to take pay cuts to increase Rookie wages, can't see them taking a cut for this cause. AFPA is always telling us the players have short careers and need to maximize their limited window to earn what they can

Is this thread serious, other AFL sides having injury issues According to Dland we are the only club this happens to and it's because We are cursed We didn't go on a camp We haven't changed our captains Our players are involved in contact drills On a serious note Eagles bigman stocks for Rd 1 McGovern wont play Barass wont play Oscar Allen possibly play underdone Hickey 50/50

Thanks BB, Deespicableand Saty for the training reports
