Jeffo Ready to Soar in 2026
I see you have zero interest in arguing the matter then spend considerable time arguing the matter. Makes perfect sense.

Jeffo Ready to Soar in 2026
Very little to get enthused about. So far a cross between Lucas Cook & Michael Newton.

2025 Player Reviews: #21 Matthew Jefferson
Pretty underwhelming game by Jeffo yesterday. Showed very little. JVR, Fritter, Mihocech, Kentfield & even Heath contributed up forward.

Jeffo Ready to Soar in 2026
I think the term mongrel really means "total desperation at the contest" or a refusal to be beaten & not taking a backwards step. You don't have to be thug to have this. Michael Newton lacked this, Jack Watts lacked this (but made up for it with sublime skill). Aaron Vandenberg had it in spades. Jefferson is borderline & needs to be ruthless in his attack on thr ball if he's going to make it.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026
Love your optimism Ghosty but with a 30 year old who is averaging under 8 games a season throughout their career I'm not holding my breath.

Documentary Episode on Goodwin Sacking
Oasis !! Seriously Binman The Gallagher brothers are both low rent boofheads & probably Pies supporters. And their music is mostly trash.

Good old LG. Ever the Goodie acolyte & apologists. Still sooking because we sacked him instead of offering him a 5 year extension.

Documentary Episode on Goodwin Sacking
I've been dining out because 🤡 coaching failures are long & extensive. Wasted the best list in my lifetime. Totally stuffed 2017. Wasted 2019 & 2020. Straight set exit in 2022 & 2023. So 2 good years out of 9 is a pretty bleak return so I'll be dining for a while.

Documentary Episode on Goodwin Sacking
Ho hum. A doco ? Really !! The only worthwhile doco would be why he wasn't let go after 2023 & left to inflict 2 more years of excuses, "learnings" & other BS on long suffering supporters.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 16th February 2026
Most long term supporters know to ignore the PR BS that comes from the Club about injured players. Bowey, Viney & McAdam will provide very little this year.

Fully agree & you get bonus points for working a great music clip into your response.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
The game progresses & changes very rapidly. Maintain posession & clean disposal is King. Clarry always just banged it forward indiscriminately. He can't fall back on kicking goals or being an aerial threat. He is a HD Holden competing with a new Mazda 3.

A New Dawn for the Dees Midfield
I thought he was poor last year although that wasn't his fault. As I said a natural winger & will be very surprised if he makes it as a mid.

A New Dawn for the Dees Midfield
Put Sparrow on the ball & leave him there. And Windsor is a natural wing or flanker nowhere near a midfielder.

2026 Injury List
My theory is Goodie was looking for a good news story to distract from the team's performance.

2026 Injury List
Early contender for worst post of the year. On what planet do you extend a contract 18 months out to a 31 year old who may be gutsy but is completely one dimensional & has had previous major injuries.
