Gippsland Dee

What has happened to the holding the ball rule? Perkins was just spun around twice in a tackle and doesn’t dispose of the footy and not pinned for holding it? Then he gets the free for high a few seconds later ?

Loved seeing Petracca Giving it to the port cheer squad after his goals. Had a good laugh ?

Pickett!!!!!!!!

How much more obvious can holding the man be?!!

I was in the middle of their reserved seating and was the only dee in sight! I didn’t dare stir them up ?

Every Essendon supporter around me last night was just whinging the whole match about how they’re always the ones getting screwed over by the umps in every game. 
I had to try so hard at times not to burst out laughing with how mad they were getting at every decision ?

It was great listening to all the Essendon supporters going feral with those 50’s ?

Got given a couple free tickets to this game from a family friend who’s an Essendon supporter. In the Middle of their reserved seating. They’re so feral ??

If you were just looking at the stats for this game you could be excused for thinking the scores would be flipped. Geelong are leading in nearly all the key stats

Being at the game, It never looked to me  like Melbourne was ever really threatened by Carlton the whole game, even at the start being 11pts down. Did that with minimal fuss, and any time Carlton was trying to push us we were able to go up a gear and pull away again.  Good solid win. 

I’ll be [censored] if they block fans from this game too. This is the first one I’m actually going to be able to attend for the year!

I think that game shows more than anything else just how poor north actually is. That we were able pretty much to not turn up til after half time and only be 3 goals down, and still win by 5 goals. 
past years we would’ve folded in that situation too. 

I couldn’t care less about the joke. Like others have said, I’d rather be known for that than be missing teeth or on the dole. 
Water off a ducks back for me, let the haters hate. 

Wow! What a game! The boys did a tremendous job. The umpires did their best to turn it on us but they found a way to get through and comfortably. So proud of them. The crowds at both the games have been amazing, never experienced such a great atmosphere. Can’t wait for next week, GO DEES ?

Managed to get 4 tickets in M57 about half way up on ground level 

First game I'm actually able to get to this year, looking forward to it but gee in nervous!

Duncan Keilty and Jordan Moncrieff are two young Casey players training at MFC with the aim of possibly being picked up in the national or rookie draft.Casey duo training with Melbourne

"Declan" keilty. Went to school with him. Always outstanding in school footy, but haven't seen him since year 12 in 2013. Always had a massive standing and running jump on him though! Could possibly become a replacement for Howe?

Very impressed with spencer and fitzy today. If they can play like that more often they're in the 22.

Pedersen is so far ahead of dawes at the moment.

Toump showed a bit which was great.

Vandenberg is a truely great find, does just about everything well.

Hogan should finally get his nomination after today, very impressive. going to be scary when he fills out even further.

Great all round performance, go dees!

I was sure he'd be well gone by pick40, let alone pick 53! Good get dees

I know you could follow it live on the afl website for free last year. Don't know about this year though

You can confirm me as being in for 2015

I'm pretty sure I saw spencer and another player last Wednesday doing a whole heap of laps with a couple of coaches looking on too.

Run with this to start with:

Out of those I'd have a look at petrenko, polkinghorne, Goodes, or Schroder. Nobody else really grabs my attention.

Couldn't find a thread on this guy so thought I'd start one.

Recently delisted by the crows after a bad run of injuries. Been described as having one of the best set shots for goals. Not a big forward bit still got a bit of size about him. He's only 23 so he theoretically should be coming into his prime, and we'd be able to pick him up for nothing.

Thoughts?

Only judging mcCartin and wright by the highlight packages of them, but going from those wright has a lot more going for him. Mccartins highlights have a lot of him missing set shots, and if that's what they can come up with to show him off then I don't like what I see. Wright has a good kick on him for his size and uses his size well, and I'd say would be a safer bet if we were to draft one of the two.
