Wells 11

He was such a star for us in 2018. Will never forget the goal he kicked to seal the final against the hawks. Thought he gave us a lot and was one of the elite ball users at a time when mostly we had v few. Hope he gets picked up and gets to 200.

top FIVE fr mac andrew? wow, he’s come in hard hasn’t he. That rule change really has hurt us.,

well it’s good to feel a bit of outrage back on this site! it’s been strangely absent now for weeks.,

This guy has now been deeply involved in flags at THREE different clubs. Theres not many who can say that. He's got something that the players respond to. Super happy to he's on board. Yze, Williams, and Richardson all bring SO much maturity and experience up behind goody. We just have an incredibly well structured footy dept and there'smany times in 50 years that Ive been able to say that!

Agreed.,i have a friend who’s hard core doggies and his graciousness in defeat has been amazing. Reckon they’ve suffered too much in the same kinda ways we have to hate.

notched up your 8th! mate you are a true legend. That was my first so i can’t answer your question, but i have a feeling over the next 3-5 years this team might leave no doubt.

3 goals in 31 secs, and as you say in the GF!!!! and not just that fully in crunch time of the GF. We went from 1 goal up with 1 min to play in the 3rd ...and the cup absolutely in the balance, to win by 74. Its un frikn believable!! I think im still drunk lol. Might have to stay that way all day.

omg it’s finally here!! and i want / hope/ wish to be expressing the same feeling late tonight. GO DEES!!!

where can I find it?

I love hunt..and Im crossing my fingers he's the medi sub. But if it was Hunt I could live with it. Both sparrow and Jordon feel like bigger losses. When we've watched a player develop and see him finally starting to re become what he showed us a few seasons back its hard to let go. But I think you'd have to agree that losing hunt to bring in Cerra is a def step up. You cant stand still in this game...flags or no. If you're too content and not moving forward you're simply getting passed by other clubs.

Such a wonderful piece of writing. Thanks for sharing your dee history.

welcome back Ash...yes WE'RE having a great season and you're part of it!

This is the core of his genius McQueen. He lets other people shine around him and do what they do well. He coaches from the boundary and let’s yze watch from above ( he’s the only coach that does this all game) He’s very calm and measured but choco is explosive. He showed by example what being part of and committing to the team looks like.

Gosh a lot of us here have had to eat copious amounts of humble pie in 2021 havent we. Not just the goodwin guys but theres been quite a few pies made to feed folks here in regards to Lever, May, Neale Bullen, Spargo and Harmes as well . In regards to my particular slice...( Im sorry Spargo) I can only say that humble pie never tasted so good and please serve me up another big slice on Sat night!

I reckon for about the first time in living memory I feel confident in saying we will win one before they do.

well…I had a dream he did :-)

A great listen. So much of where we are now stems bk to Jackson and Roos. If we win they will also be immortalised in our history I reckon.

Such a great read. Good to feel connected to these demon greats again… across the great divide. It brought them all back. I can imagine how proud and loud jimmy would be right now. Robbie will always have a special spot in my heart, as would anyone who saw him play or knew him. Still a cut above anyone else i’ve seen. Good to feel the connection with Troy and sean and Colin again also… hope they’re all wishing us on from wherever they are. I want to win it fr all of them too. I don’t think Dean Baileys family will be doing the same though. Sending a thought out to him and his family .. with an apology to u all for being mixed up with this club at its nadir. Hope u can find a way to wish us well.

Watching the 64 "replay" always had me feel my team was from the past. Not relevant to today. Barracking for them for the last 50 years has mainly felt either embarassing ( highlighted in 2013/ 14 / the lack of a home base/ the press feasting on the tanking debacle) or just ill fated ( 1987 prelim/ the off season when we lost Schwartz, Jakovich, Charles basically for good/ Trengoves foot/ Scullys heart/ the great men Jimmy and Robbie passing...etc etc ) When we were good we were just never THAT good and when we were bad we were beyond horrible. This season, come what may, I already have had those feelings shifted a lot. A flag would open a whole new dimension to me as a dee. Would feel like it was all worthwhile somehow.

Wow. If true I find that extremely strange. Even just as a precaution you get a scan dont you? If he breaks down 10 mins into Q1 Im sure decision will be heavily scrutinised.

How many good news stories can I actually cope with? flag favorites, brownlow favorites, record membership, financially flying, 5 x AA’s etc etc If we win the flag and then get a home base my karma may well be complete ….and i’ll be taken from this earth. But i’ll be happy as i go :-)

great show as always . thanks fr all you do..

in case we lose and everyone returns to hating each other… let me just say i love you all. passionate, disagreeable and argumentative as some of u may be , you’re all part of my dee heart. It’s been a hard road to travel as a supporter and this morning I can feel how much we’re all in it together.

go dees!

same first game! 1971, the first half of it anyway, holds some of my favourite memories. Partly the age i was I think. strangely ( not) i remember little about the second half of that season.
