Eddie wants to have his cake and eat it too, he doesn't need any cake.

Dc, Christian Salem I'd say has noticeably improved on last year

I understand how serious mental illness is but if these sorts of reactions come off the back of someone in the crowd saying something, he should not be playing. You can't be an AFL footballer without a thick skin

I'd argue the opposite, they're down on form, Viney has missed the last few and we're still sitting 2-3 and been fairly good in alot of the three losses, plenty of room for improvement

As a former master coach of the MFC would say " i didn't see that coming "

One that i think we have got really right is Christian Salem, i think he's a good chance to be the best player out of that draft by the end of his career, and the fact we also got Dom Tyson in that deal makes it a massive win

Tommy Mac would be winning the bluey easily i reckon

I reckon the filth will give them a touch up, they look pretty good so far.

Another reckon Harmes is a chance to get a run in the seniors this year? must admit i don't know much about him

I don't think Rocket realised what he was walking into, i've heard they're a team of cocky, selfish, egotistical individuals with little to no idea of how to function as a team, they look impressive at times because of the sheer talent levels they have but they don't have the culture, plan, mentality at this stage to do it consistently enough to realise their potential as a team. all of the problems start with the captain imo, great individual player, but their whole plan has basically been get the ball to gaz, they can't function without him, and even when he plays he feeds off that mentality.

I'm sure that's a temptation that most of the AFL community would have felt at some stage

reckon Pederson late out and Riley in

The more i think about Aaron VandenBerg the more i think how amazing it is that a bloke can come out of the NEAFL and adjust to the Tempo of AFL with absolutely no issue, he was seriously sharp in round 1, i think that's a reflection of the quality of training and coaches we have, but also of Aaron as a player, some of our blokes have taken quite a long time to adjust in the past.

Makes two of us Nesher

I think alot of the changes are more a reflection of minimum standards than strategy, Roos wants to send a message that if you don't comply to minimum standards you won't play regardless of who you are

Same boat mate, the first VFL games i went to where back when the Zebras were winning everything in sight

Hyperthetical, Fitzy comes in, back line reshuffles and Howe plays the high half forward role?

I am curious to get opinions on this, what are the expectations of Watts and Toumpas? I feel alot of people judge these blokes because of draft position, expect them to dominate games, for me if Watts leads hard, takes a few grabs, keeps his opponent accountable and impacts the scoreboard he's playing his role Jimmy i just want to see show a willingness to win his own ball, and when he does use it well, we know he's going to run hard, but i want to see him use the ball really well and make his teammates want to get it in his hands, he's more than capable of being damaging by foot. he seems to do alot of unrewarded running at times

Picket fence does when someone mentions Ollie Wines, so i guess it's fine

Disagree, lacking confidence something fierce but he played extremely well in the first half on the weekend against casey, had a quiet second half because he had a super hard tag put on him. Pigdog imo isn't getting a game this week imo because we are lacking pace and a few times this year that has been exposed, can't have all inside mids because the better teams will carve you up.

Very much consistent with what he's told my friend, loves the Dees, wants to repay the faith we have shown in him, also well aware of how high we value him, he will be well paid regardless.

Heard off a friend today the club was interested in putting an extension Infront of tommy Mac

victory to he with the deepest pockets and most to lose

Toump was sent to casey with particular areas to work on in his game, it's possible he was always seem as best 22 and the coaches are now satisfied he has improved those areas?

Not related to the Suns but I really hope we have a mega deal Infront of Dylan Shiel, would be the ideal addition, bar maybe Fyfe i can't see any better options given his age, quality and upside. Pay the coin and get the deal done dees
