Wells 11

That is seriously the most blatant push in the back I’ve seen for the year. Horrible non call.

reminded me of Freo last week. not just soft centre clearances either. 3 of them gave them goals . to lose Centre clearances 8-0 when the game and indeed the whole frikn season is on the line is both unthinkable and unforgivable.

weirdly one of the questions i want to know is if Goody is around? plus how does Sparrow look after that news?

Crazy day…. a great demon memory that one. He kicked 9 after half time! He didn’t come bk on until about 5 mins into the third when Beams broke his wrist. 9 straight and then he missed one. 9.1

I think it depends on where we see our list doesn’t it DJ? I mean are we challenging now? Remembering we’re probably in the last 2 years of maximus and possibly May. Plus as importantly , do they think oliver and trac return at close to full rat power? or not? If the answer to either of those questions is no then we don’t trade away picks fr a 27 year old. . If it’s yes on both scores then surely we prob do?

This reminds me of the hoo haa when we got lever. which went on all the way until we won a flag. No one bats an eye at that deal now.

well fwiw i reckon that means a lot more than sam mcclure or any other journos. it’s not a guarantee of course but it’s an opinion w substance.

Football act....I know this as Ginnivan is still alive. Had he died then it definitely would be a week. He's a good bloke, justice is served, blah blah blah .

Loved the rant Binman… was good to place him so squarely in amongst our greats. Which he is! The media can whatever they do but on this site it’s good to feel he’s more well recognised. Best coach in my 53 years supporting.

me too…. it was the follow up tragedy to the 87 prelim loss but a much more silent heart ache. We crossed paths with the proverbial black cat that off season. All the focus of course went to schwartz but we lost multiple superstars or about to be superstars in one fell swoop. Easy to forget just how good Tingay and Charles were.

Got his autograph as a 10 year old at training on a muddy MCG. I remember watching them do circle work and then finish training by sprinting back from the centre to the gate. Different days lol.

That was the worst Ive seen the dees play in about 7 or 8 years and the players will know that too. After the last few weeks Im going with Binmans loading explanation for that plus the 2 extra days break they had exacerbating that possibility. This is a proud club, playing back on the ground they won a flag on, wanting to atone for a really embarassing performance last time. Whatever the result dees will be bringing the heat. In short .... Dees in a tight tussle. Petty to kick the winning goal after the siren :-)

A shipping container in Somalia? So good to hear the varied locations of where folks are tuning in from! Are there many dees out that way?

He was good yes, but not in the same league as those three imo. He had one great season ...and also a lot of good ones. He was very handy for us though and I remember the Jamar / Maloney combo in the dark years.

He's super impressive thus far as a fwd. I say keep him there! Loved how he calmy slotted from 55 Sat eve. I like the energy and toughness he exudes and I reckon it gives the feel of the side something new. Its early to say but he brings to mind someone like a Brody Mihocek from the pies. Someone who seemed sort of average for a while but became so critical to their set up. Plus given the hit and miss nature of our kicking for goal to have him, Fritter and JVR all up there is a big plus.

wow… I didn’t see that coming. go dees!

given that Trac returns Rivers is going to be a great addition to the midfield rotations.

Severe MFCSS...but short term only My fear is that this week will be the final nail in the coffin of a [censored] 2024. Im expecting a 10 goal loss and for it to seal the deal for the year and for the press to sharpen their knives...again. We're down Trac, Brayshaw and, as good as he is, an underdone Oliver....and now Max. 4 of our best 6? Its too much for mine. On the positive side though . I dont think this team is anywhere near finished in terms of 25 and 26 . IF we were to recruit a key forward and or another gun mid and IF trac and Clarry are back next year even close to their best then we will be right back in the top 4 imo.

me too.

"is it true" is a pretty poor way to start a rumour thread. Its even worse than "I've heard a whisper" . Who is Sam Faff for a start. I refuse to raise my hopes. But I cant help it...they've just been frikn raised. Curse you Sam Faff!

Lets not forget he coached the Eagles to a flag against the pies by under goal. Glorious day. We all should love him a bit

and is much better suited physically to that task than fritta. Will free fritsch up I think.

Please just mention that horrible holding the ball against rivers. I honestly think that call doesnt happen if its a Daicos or a Cameron or a Bolton. I almost threw my frikn glass at the screen.

As the raw disappointment fades...I just cant help but feel proud of the boys. Our pressure and energy was fantastic and the Lions away is no small task. I think with all the young guys and some unfit older guys we just didnt have the legs. Petty was great but his misses continue to hurt as did fritters and Langdons... but Brissy missed plenty of their own lets face it.

including a horrible one against rivers!
