  1. As much as I love Dogga, I also think he’s lacking a certain maturity. As was I at his age and way more so! If, as certain “in the know” posters are saying, he’s gone, then we need to get around him as a team and get the absolute best out of him NOW. He may allow himself to be distracted by it all and that’s just rubbing salt into wounds. We’re a chance for a flag and he’s a big part of that. So i hope the team supports him and we get the absolute best out of him possible in the push fr a flag THIS year.
  2. He’s the best player in the comp, with a brownlow on the line as well as a team top 2 finish. He’ll play.. but prob with painkillers.
  3. With respect, it’s nothing to do with MFCSS nor any implication we’re a basket case. Just a hard reality to bear if it plays out.
  4. I can’t blame him but FMD we may lose Brayshaw, Jackson and Yze in one off season hit.
  5. Hope yr right but honestly it looks more like a sudden loss of mobility. like he can’t grab the ball and spin to kick it from the ruck anymore and he’s falling over so much more in there too now . No questions re his courage or his intent but watching him at the bounces i can see he’s not quite right. I don’t know much about the syndesmosis i’m just hoping it can actually really heal b4 finals.
  6. Gawn not himself at all and is clearly is being hampered. Anyone know anything about the injury he has and if he’s going to just labour thru the rest of the year now or get better?
  7. if we keep missing those easy frikn goals we’re gonna get smashed.
  8. Except when i see them post game they look like they’re cruising. Not too excited or pumped up. They seem to have a lot in their tank still.
  9. yep. It’s hard to say isnt it, but right now they’re the flag favorites. Gonna take a lot of beating to get past them now.
  10. i’m genuinely surprised how [censored] the saints are … they’re going backwards.
  11. Yep great article. I’m sure it must have been mentioned as this thread is a long one, but maybe freo are just trying to get us to overpay so they can shake Brayshaw loose.
  12. Barring the GF victory, This was the happiest moment of my supporting life. Unexpected, unbelievable, after the siren, Geelong at Geelong and for top spot! Will never forget this...and I imagine neither will they.
  13. It’s trippy isn’t it. We could finish anywhere in the top 8. We’re top, a game and % clear after 15 games, but zero feelings of certainty in 22.
  14. Anyone watching Tex today is gonna have to think twice about not wanting him at the dees. He’s destroying us… with some help from the umps.
  15. It’s an interesting dilemma for us. IF ( and it’s still just an if) we lose Jackson to Freo , then we lose one of our stars to one of our direct competitors in the next few years. Not ideal in anyones books. They are going to have to pay and I can only hope it doesn’t dimish us too much.
  16. In all three cases the player was [censored] off at the club he was leaving. They badly wanted out. LJ has a flag and a rising star, I just can’t see him doing this to us.
  17. Also Travis Cloke from years ago w the pies. But they were both Vic boys.
  18. True. With Jackson they would certainly be fr some years to come. But can they trade for him? or pay him what he’s after? We couldn’t get the Cerra deal done I can’t see how they would be able to do this one either. Unless Im missing something?
  19. Any trade on LJ will be a big loss really. However if that trade helped keep Gus and Oliver then I suppose that needs to be considered as part of things as well, however sad I felt about it. But we would then head into 2023 then needing both a ruck and a key forward, with our season at massive risk to a Gawn injury. My own gut feeling is that he leaves...but that as he matures he lives to regret it. Genuine flag windows like the one we're in dont come along that often ...and for some players not at all. He's cutting off maybe 3 more years of playing in that possibility. Its not that I wouldnt wish him well....and I could rewatch the end of the 3rd to remind me , but I would be hoping he doesn't get to play in another premiership.
  20. Looks like season done, but one thing we can know is that if there’s ANY kind of chance at all he’ll be pushing hard fr it. There’s a possible 2nd flag as the carrot. I doubt he’ll be giving up right now.
  21. I agree. Or at least 5. 4 weeks was the absolute minimum for what was a deliberate, high, late, shoulder to the head . A hit which also lead to a pretty severe concussion.
  22. Maybe because he’s being keeping it very private?
  23. I reckon Jacks been living the shadow of CP and Oliver fr a while. Having the captaincy back fr a few weeks might just have been what he needed. Critical to flag hopes.
