Yes it [censored] me too but the saddest part is the filth would do a hell of a lot better than our chumps

Has happened before down there I recall

Who’s giving the redemption speech this week ?

There’s the problem right there

We consistently win inside 50 counts but simply don’t do anything with the opportunities created

What about May forward ?

Not helping contract negotiations ?

Time to get excited again about having the #1 draft pick

Without wanting to sound negative I still question whether this team is going to get top 8 this season We seem incredibly capable of losing games that really good teams don’t drop and up until the end of last season didn’t have a good record against final 8 teams I think it’s going to be hard to make the 8 much less top 4 - if we start poorly and other teams start well then clearly things get more difficult

I think the Dees need to perform more and talk less - simple

Gee last week before the weekend most people had this team down as Top 4 material - after one game everyone seems to be scratching their head wondering where the next win could come from How things change quickly ! We have to perform at our best week after week for virtually 100% of each game to be any chance of finals IMO - tough draw - tougher competition

plus Chandler , Bedford and Petty

Hopefully, all of those big "ifs" turn into "did"

Will not stop Eddie causing trouble

He can do everything but ruck no wonder he gets the nod

Based on the form displayed to date (Geelong, Collingwood, Melbourne) we must be rank outsiders to win this Will need a massive change in performance to get a win

With the departure of Hogan this was always on the cards - wait for the Collingwood rumours to surface soon

Rather than laying the blame on any single defender, it seems like any half decent key forward kicks bags of goals on us Clearly the FD see this as a key weakness hence the recruiting of May and Lever, unfortunately, both NA in round 1 I suspect that with both or either not present in future games the same trend of key forwards having a day out will persist and more often than not we will drop those games because our forward 50 structure doesn't seem to be that effective

Conversely they have traded quite well - Dunn and Howe ?

Can't see Ryder playing - can't see what Preuss brings to the table based on form to date

In a few days, all will be revealed - I hope our JLT form is just that and not season proper form line. We now have injury and suspensions that will mean we don't hit round 1 with our best possible team. Everyone will need to perform including Weid if we are to put the first win on the board this week

Wow ? so unnecessary I have no idea what motivated you to roll this out but hopefully there is some level of remorse Jesse has some issues that clearly he has to deal with but there is nothing at all to be gained by this sort of comment

Yet to see enough from Preuss that suggests he will ever be much more than a lumbering man mountain. Does not seem to have a great understanding of the game, how to position himself or time leaping in ruck and most concerning seems to have a limited tank so can't get around the ground as is required in the modern game - in short, can't see him playing much time at all in the 1's Agree that Petty seems more mature and is certainly a good prospect long term, Keilty also some encouraging signs, would have liked to see him more as a forward 50 option My main concern from this game was the performance of T Mac he looked cooked from the first 5 minutes

Tom is a breath of fresh air really Intelligent well considered and articulate responses to a series of questions No pathetic cliches, no umms or ahhs Well done TMac deserves every success and I hope it comes his way

Not elite in front of goals - yet ! 17 goals 12 behinds in 2018 ok and better than Trac but nothing special Tmac 53 goals 20 behinds Ben Brown 61 goals 24 behinds Hoskin-Elliott 42 goals 16 behinds These guys can kick straight !
