Only if they merged with GCS. Pokie money keeps them going Aspley (suburb of Brisbane) was also supposed to join but couldn't afford it. Why are they in the VFL...why not..it's a weird competition

They announced the new soft cap a few months ago. It wasn't a massive increase IIRC but better than nothing. Hard to disassociate player group form from line coaches and then there is the overarching gameplan. Where to start

Calm down OD Comparing relative failure is one thing but the upside equation is very different. Anyway if LJ goes and Weid stays miracles might happen

They've not kicked a goal since entering the zone of indecision Danger ahead !!

Pies have entered the dreaded zone of indecision .......... 26 points up They're doomed

Need to also play some time up forward in VFL. His role is 1.5 goals and 30% ruck plus a few marks around the ground. He took 4 marks today which is not stellar for the first ruck. I like the experimentation. Had hoped for more from Joel Smith today. I think it's his fourth game back at this level

Just means you're not developing a forward. He's not a tall so he's not much good for training small forwards. Winning is nice but it's not really the main reason why we have a VFL team And as some pointed out last week the VFL salary cap is so low he could make more money playing in the suburban league

A very capable VFL player Listed himself in the mid season draft but no takers.

Missed an opportunity not going hard after Hogan. Sure there were risks but the upside could have been enormous

Salem is a microcosm of a bigger issue but it is a good example. His status probably justified coming straight back into the senior side. After two games it was apparent that the instinctive touch was not there. That was the time for a few games at VFL level to get his touch back. Instead we played him week in week out. Sure he had a couple of serviceable games but he was well below his best.

But it was an even numbered Olympic year

VFL premierships are irrelevant. It's a training group. We have played in many of them over the years including the old Reserves comp but they don't contribute where it counts.

Can't see any upside in playing TMac today. Smith maybe.. simply to get some more forward time into him

Going to take a few weeks off football Looking forward to some good off season analysis So many learnings It's not been fun following the Dees this year I'm afraid

Looking forward to the post season analysis Lost this season in the two weeks against Eagles and North Arrogance

We have the AA ruckman against a second stringer but we concede four last minute goals in three quarters That's on the Coach !!!!!

######### !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 goals to nil in a low scoring game what can one say

Somehow I don't think we'll have to worry about a changes thread tonight

May not even have to wait for the third quarter to be run over This has been coming for weeks What an end to a promising season

well I didn't think we'd capitulate that quickly. 3 goals in about 10 minutes of play

This game should be over but more worrying is the lack of any finals flair We literally are limping towards the finish line

WHY

this is a struggle

Hardly a touch to our recognised forwards... Second quarter avalanche please
