Pennant St Dee

Every GF throws up surprise players who have big impacts over the superstars ones I recall in the last 20 odd years without going over game stats 1997 Shane Ellen 2001 Shaun Hart 2005 Lewis Roberts-Thompson, Nick Fosdike, 2006 Andrew Embley, 2008 Xavier Ellis, Clint Young, Stewie Dew who was passed it 2012 a young Hanneberry, Mitch Morton Lake & Stratton during the Hawks years 2016 Joel Hamling, Dale Morris 2017 I would argue the hard running pressure players changed this game

The joy of footy to a child. This is why those of us who can't make it to the game shared our barcodes. Brings a tear to my eye watching this and takes me back

God I remember 87 like it was yesterday. After Vineys goal we were never in trouble. I'll never forget the MCG roar from that day

Stage fright is on the money. They will look to jump us on the counter in the first 10/15mins. We could have a few boys nervous and rushing their disposals early

As others have said came to us when finals was nothing but a pipedream. Admired him at the Crows, loved him for us reached the magical ton as a Dee and a fairytale ending would be great for his efforts but whatever the outcome Bernie thanks for your efforts 100 + games and B & F at 2 clubs fantastic career. Lets hope a flag at either Fees or Casey is your last footballing memory

We've done well some of later picks especially the two Mac boys both taken at pick 53

Torn between Nev & Clarrie

Clarrie has played in the middle more than Martin should be a starting mid. you take your pick of 2 HFF from Danger Higgins Gray and Martin you don't just accomodate the big names in the starting 18. Devon Smith missing out is a joke, Jackson Mcrae and Yeo are also stiff but you're always going to have some tough stories

I think they will look to using Selwood as a run with player and not let Clarrie run free

Pardon the pun Layzie but it's lazy posters who don't actually watch the game. Their justification is like for like small forwards. Spargo uses the ball well runs to provide options, pressure and second efforts. For mine Viney and Hannan in for Kent and JKH Tyson has been good whilst JV has been out and I expect the Cats to put S.Selwood on Clarrie. With JV back in we can send Clarrie forward a bit more to expose Selwood. Harmes to Danger and we back ourselves to go head to head with the other mids. Win the clearances and deliver inside 50 like we have neen of late and we win

Good perspective and a great post. Tough gig recruiting

We dodged a bullet here Ash's Demons wanted him badly from memory. Posted regularly about him on top of several calls to SEN

Ijust PMd you some as we wont be traveling over from Perth unfortunately Enjoy it

6.Harmes 5.Gawn 4. Brayshaw 3. Salem 2. Lewis 1.Trac

I heard that but from memory they said we've never had a 100 goal kicker.

Clarrie should be starting over Martin, Jetta is stiff, but so is Tom Stewart. Personally think Phil Davis has been the best full back all season

Sad story and more hell for Brian and all the family. Also a lesson to elite schools and sporting clubs to not turn a blind eye to problems and substance abuse because somebody is an elite talent

Kim Hagdorn knows absolutely nothing and has no credibility

Layzie they are pathetic been top dog pampered supporters in this town for so long with local media who up until recently never dared to really challenge their club.

Yes was a great day I was at the other end with the cheer squad. My son went down to the fence to hopefully get a footy but missed out. When he came back up to me I happily showed him one I marked which big Maxy threw in. The train journey home was interesting played it's a Grand old flag on my phone only for a couple of Meth Coast supporters to tell me to thank the umps to which I replied yes of course I forgot every you lose its down to the umpires never anything to do with your side. To which a woman late 50s/early 60s said that's nasty and I just politely said really is it that difficult to just say we were beaten by the better team on the day. I had 4 kids with me 3 of whom were Meth Coast supporters with their colours on and I think the woman was quite embarrased with my reply and the fact I didn't react in appropriate manner to her comment

If Meth Coast finish 2nd I reckon they get Thursday night

For all those young Dees, I really hope results go our way next week to earn a home final and you get to experience the MCG roar of the Dees breaking such a long finals drought. I still remember the roar against North in our first final in 87, what a day that was and what a ride it was until we just fell short in the Prelim. Childhood memories Go Dees

Mate after all your posts this week you should be keeping your head down If you're not a school kid you should be embarrassed with ypur attacks on the playing group

The omen I thought of all week was it Finals ended in Perth against Freo in 06 and we clinched our next finals appearance in Perth
