Last week will sting and i have a feeling things are clicking for the boys so i am tipping Dees by 35

No saty, i'd prefer to see our team stick up from each other, rather than just watch it, and if that eventuates into a free kick from time to time, that's much better. look at the Hawks when they had all their success. they didn't mind sticking up for each other even if it meant from time to time it cost them a free kick.

One thing that struck me in the last game was the lack of blokes who go in to support when guys get roughed up. Outside of Steven May they basically don't support their teammates. I'd much rather see a free kick be given away than the captain get roughed up and noone stand with him/

And would attract opposition interest for sure. much better to sign him up before they get a chance.

for me the shuffle you make is you give Oliver more forward time and give Gus more midfield time and the net positive overall seems better Oliver has shown he's capable of causing headaches up forward

I feel like short of an injury or suspension Lachie Neale is going to win the brownlow by a fair margin

Sorry i worded it badly. i think we are closer to a premiership now than we were in 2018 as in i feel we've got our contest stuff back to a level where it's universally respected through the league, teams know the dees are good there. and i think our backline has improved drastically to being one of the better units going around. and ironically i think our forward line is functioning quite well the last few weeks. we're not there yet but i think we are a top 8 standard team with plenty of score to improve still.

We are a better team now than we were in 2018.

Out: Brayshaw, Jetta In: T.Mac, Neal-Bullen

I genuinely feel we'd be better off trying to lure a decent young half back, moving Salem into more of a mid/half back rotating position and then using Gus as trade bait to get someone who better compliments our side Unfortunately it's a ruthless business and Gus just isn't cutting it at the moment

I feel like he's a good inside mid in a team that doesn't need him for anything other than depth i think there is an opportunity for a win-win trade here if we could get something we need in return.

Brayshaws 2018 form is the only thing keeping him in the side at the moment. I'd much rather Alex Neal-Bullen. at least he has a crack. really think we missed Tom mcDonald today.

Ironic that a few minutes early Zac Bailey went about 7 moments too long in giving the ball back and it wasn't called.

2 things cost us this game Goalkicking/polish some of the worst/most bias umpiring i've ever seen.

We should make a formal complaint about the umpiring. this is so bad it's ruined the game.

Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

Harris Andrews throws it and then Petracca gets holding the ball F me. call the AFL about this umpiring.

Need a spark. throw Bennell on the ball Don't let this play out goody.

Agreed Dazzle. this is about if we fight or if we roll over signs aren't; good so far

We have horrible system around stoppages, Brisbane are just walking it out of there.

I think there is a very good possibility Clarkson will leave the Hawks potentially at the end of this year, things are seemingly pretty hostile at the moment with Kennett being himself. I wouldn't rule out another team poaching him, one of the greatest coaches of all time, can't see him being willingly nudged into retirement. Would be very ballsy if the Dees made the move and pulled the trigger. i love the thought of what Clarko could do with this list

His role was to microwave the popcorn and sit back while Mark Neeld destroyed the club.

Probably throw a wrench at a fat bloke i am teaching to play dodgeball.

Tom Hawkins is a Free agent i believe and the Cats may look to go down the youth path, maybe he's someone we could look at? would certainly help accelerate the development of Weid and give Tommy some support.

Like the Jones inclusion simply because the more good kicks we have in the side the better off we are IMO starting to build a decent list of guys who can take on tough kicks and really open up the game
