  1. Cox. Becoming the most hated bloke in footy.
  2. Umps !!! There’s an orange team
  3. It’s just a bitter taste. IT SHOULD BE US.
  4. Frawley had been an All Australian for the Dees. Mckay is a long long long way off that ranking.
  5. Still think a phone call to Tom Fullerton (Lions) might be worth a go. He kicked 30.22 in the VFL as a ruck/forward. He is a big bodied ruck/forward that could relieve Maxy in the 6-7 minutes a quarter but also be capable ahead of the big sticks. Means we’d let JVR be a permanent forward and potentially cover if Petty was delayed in his return.
  6. North seeking pick 3 compo for Mckay North seeking pick 11 mid first round charity North seeking access to Sanders via NGA with a special charitable exception to match any bid North has pick 2 North already has LDU, Simpkin, Wardlaw, Larkey, Sheezel , Thomas and Phillips. Msybe give them 12 bonus points at the start of next year ps AFL response to Dees in 2014 after asking for assistance AFL concluded that while Melbourne has a poor on field record in recent times, this does not of itself constitute “exceptional circumstances” or a justification for awarding priority draft selections.
  7. What a soldier. Jimmy was heart and soul. Always gives 100%. Loved his celebration after the 2022 Grand Final.
  8. Simply ditto
  9. @Pennant St Dee yes like to see how SVR goes. He had a few “nearly” games in the championships. Got his hands to marks but could not quite hold them. Thought he might not get picked in the draft. Needs more gym time obviously but imv could still be a potential rookie for the Dees. Imagine the double Roooeeeyyyy from the crowd !!!
  10. @Pennant St Dee Yes that’s why i used the term “potential” A graders in my post. I wouldn’t subscribe to all but often you find it’s not just the top 10 (though more likely) that go on to be the very best. I do like Hardeman for his hard running, physical style of play and yes his delivery. Wouldn’t mind adding him if we had a pick around the 20ish mark. His footskills are very good and has the Rivers type intensity for a half back. Obviously lots of AFL manipulation, trade and pick swaps and complex sudoku numbers to go before we know our likely draft picks.
  11. From media reports, looks like 1-Eagles Harley Reid 2- Suns (Academy match) Jed Walter 3-Kangas Coby Mckercher 4- Kangas (Mckay gift compensation 🤬) Daniel Curtin 5- Hawks Zane Duursma 6- Bulldogs (trade from Suns) Ryley Sanders 7- Dees … options left would be … bid on Ethan Read (Suns to match) … then choice of Caddy, Watson, Wilson or O’Sullivan. Right now I’d be picking Darcy Wilson as a running creative goalkicking mid. Love to see how we can grab that Suns pick.
  12. It’s an obvious NO.
  13. Chol? I vote No
  14. He’s good. No. He’s actually very very good. Reminds me of Will Ashcroft or Sam Walsh as highly skilled running Mids. All class. Definitely a top 6/7 pick.
  15. Here's to an extremely exciting period ahead for our great club. I can’t wait to see what we can achieve over the next few months. this didn’t age very well at least for the boys team
  16. Off to Sydney … goodbye and well yeah just goodbye
  17. We love the OOZEEEE Quality bloke and has earned his chance Dee should be a good option for the Dees or get McQualter as the new assistant coach 🤣🤣
  18. Yes. I agree. Tom Fullerton on a 3 year deal. Could carry the load to assist Gawn and also play forward when needed. Has the physical ability and knows how to use his strength. Wouldn’t be a high cost imv.
  19. Agree @BaliDemon Mckercher is exactly the type of player that the Dees need. Skills. Pace. Excellent Decision maker. Goalkicker. He’s a gun. Doubt he gets to pick 6 because Kangas, Hawks and Suns pick (whoever gets it) will be seeing Mckercher as a key target to pick. We need to somehow get that GC pick.
  20. Probably didn’t bother with booking a return flight
  21. Kade Herbert impressed me for SA under 18s in brief display during the championships. Will see how he goes in this. Strong midfield runner with goalkicking ability. May not be top 5 or 6 but likely still to be a 1st rounder.
  22. The Power announced three other list changes this week but ruck duo Scott Lycett and Sam Hayes are yet to re-sign with the club, with Port Adelaide also interested in Richmond premiership player Ivan Soldo. Matt Flynn and Braydon Preuss – are out of contract and could land at new homes during October's trade period. Jordon Sweet has already requested a trade to Port Adelaide, Todd Goldstein is expected to depart Arden Street for Essendon, while Gettable reported last month Matt Flynn has been pursued by West Coast this year. DELISTED Port Adelaide tall Brynn Teakle is on the radar of a few clubs who are searching for a back-up ruckman this off-season. The 23-year-old was cut by the Power on Tuesday following six games after arriving at Alberton via the 2022 Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
  23. It was a joke !!!
  24. Return of the Preuss (Return of the Preuss) it is ((Return of the Preuss) come on (Return of the Preuss) oh my God (You know that I'll be back) here I am (Return of the Preuss) once again (Return of the Preuss) pump up the world (Return of the Preuss) watch my flow (You know that I'll be back) here I go
