Josh Battle. My vote is YES

I like what AMW also does when he doesn’t have the footy. Still moves well and reads the play. Not bad for someone with a rugby background. His tackling is good. I’d like to see him as the sub this week. Would like to see how he goes.

Like to see some work being put into Clarry’s disposals. firstly yes the short little handballs hit targets but mainly are blokes under more pressure than him. Decision making ? secondly is there anyone else who kicks rainmaker air balls into the forward line - you know the kicks that “ go up as far as they go along “ . Clarry used to bullet some kicks. Not anymore. Maybe again a confidence thing.

No love for Tomlinson?

It’s another 3 votes for Max Gawn surely. I think it’s likely 3- M.Gawn 2- J. Viney 1- C.Petracca maybe S.May for a vote I think the umps like and remember Mids who also kick goals. The goals and inside play get them votes ahead of strong defensive trio The projected votes have Gawn between 13-15, Trac around 9-10 , & May on potentially 7-8 votes. JV7 up to 4 votes likely.

Thank you someone in the Dees coaching box for identifying how to stop the Saints run. The Saints love the ball in Brad Hill’s hands but he was under pressure and his effectiveness was reduced.

Gawn clearly BEST ON GROUND then you could throw a blanket over the rest Viney. Salem. Tomlinson. May. Tmcd. ANB. Trac. others included Kozzy and Langdon (to be best 10). AFL website nominated BEST Narrm: Gawn, Petracca, Viney, Salem, May

Like to see AMW debut next week. He deserves a go. Give him a chance v Freo.

Hunter. Zero tackles. 1 contested possession. Twenty metres kicks. Safe and wide. I think he still lacks what’s needed when the heat comes. Today was a nice Sunday afternoon walk v saints so ok.

an absolutely great. Gawn. Back to Casey. Hunter. Where's his spark. McAdam

Dees beat Saints on a Sunday afternoon. Ho hum game to be fair. Dees did enough and won it through 30-45 minutes of footy. Third quarter burst was the only time that I saw the glimpse of what we can do. Last 10 minutes of Second qtr and Last qtr were poor.

How did we let the Eagles beat us? They are a mess. How did we let Reid bully us? Crows paid him some attention

6 Gawn daylight 5 Oliver 4 ANB 3 Tomlinson 2 May 1 Petracca apologies to Salem

Last 3 goals to the saints. Cost me $200 win !!! FFS. Went defensive when 9 goals up

14-14 to 6-8. 54 points wtf saints get 3 goals !!!

Petracca. Captain fumbles. Wtf. Pick it up !!!

Hunter is (censored)

Bowey to … Marshall 😡😡😡

Clarry has zero defensive IQ full stop. Great midfield bull

Jeffo. He’s a project. Like the Weid, he has flaws but good upside potential if we persist. Patience needed.

Taj is sub again. Just like Bedford and Jordon. Goodwin is so boring!!! Taj played well v blues and v eagles. Freo might just give him a call and offer him a deal with a starting position.

Surely AMW gets a promotion soon. His tackling is good. Won some good contested footy too.

Laurie is a small forward with no real pace but has footy smarts. Perhaps that’s he only real position. Hes not a midfielder imv

Assume Blake Howes is an emergency carryover player this week.

He’s a player. Will debut early next year. Another GC17 Gift from the AFL. Suns get yearly ACADEMY PICKS and also NGA Darwin picks. Huge bonus especially as Academy can be automatically matched by the Duns.
