spirit of norm smith

Koltyn Tholstrup plays like Camron Rayner… best comparison imv

No trip to the Cattery. Thank you Santa for my early Xmas present. 😃😃

Play twice: Collingwood, Brisbane, Port Adelaide, Western Bulldogs, Fremantle, West Coast First four: Sydney (A), Western Bulldogs (H), Hawthorn (A), Port Adelaide (A) Last three: Port Adelaide (H), Gold Coast (A), Collingwood (H) Bye: Round 6, Round 14 Thursday/Friday matches: 4/0 (Total: 4) Five-day breaks: 2 Degree of difficulty: 49 (equal third hardest)

What a ridiculous statement. Our list spots are tight and we have BBB and Tmcd in the rehab ward every week to try to manage them. Sam Reid would be in the same group of ageing injured forwards. Good player when he was fit but not anymore.

Agreed

A low chance but still a possibility Demattia has good pace, strength and thrives in contested footy.

Aside from those likely already gone before our picks Reid, Mckercher, Duursma and obviously Walter my listing of potential draftees in ranking of preference is Curtin Sanders Leake O’Sullivan Windsor Caddy Wilson Tholstrup Watson Murphy

Surely round 2 is v pies as a Dees home game on a Friday night

Thanks @ChaserJ Pick “6” (7) likely be looking at Curtin, Sanders, Leake, Caddy or O’Sullivan Pick “11” (13)likely looking be at O’Sullivan, Wilson, Windsor or Murphy

Either would be a very very good addition

It’s a mess already. Why is it called a draw? A highly manufactured scheme is the best description. Imagine if it truly was a draw!!

Dees in the NT The Demons will play Fremantle at TIO Traeger Park on the Sunday afternoon of round 12 (June 2).

Yes. Worrying signs. Crumbling under pressure. Physically beaten again in the contest. Dees need to get the fire back and quick !!

Not this week.

@biggestred to clarify the challenges that could be in 2024 rd 1 Opening game away v Sydney Anzac Eve away Wed24april v Tigers Kings Birthday away v Magpies Monday after Geelong away on a Thursday night post mid season bye North away in tassie on a Sunday 1.10 time slot Gold coast away in Darwin in July Adelaide away in gather round Freo away in the final round Port home game in alice Springs (home game) Giants home game on a Sunday 3.20 dead timeslot Imagine the horror BUT surely as $$$ cash cows with 75,000 in the house we get these 3 games we get to have two Home big Friday nights: v Pies (home) round 21/22 AND v Bombers (home) pre Anzac game round 6/7 AND Saturday night two Home game v Tigers round 19/20 v Blues round 3/4

Exclusive: The Crows will again open Gather Round next year with a blockbuster clash at Adelaide Oval, facing Melbourne on Thursday night. farrrrk ! Are we just the AFL punching bag again.

Thanks @dazzledavey36 Grey is a huge loss. Had an excellent 2022 in premiership year and even better 2023. He’s a smokey to get a rookie spot but might again miss out. I think Leo Connolly is an excellent addition. Good pace and run through half back or on the wing. I don’t think Riak Andrew will get drafted or rookied but has real upside potential so would be good to continue his development in a system like Casey (whilst also getting some MFC development).

He’s going to be a star. He has shown all the class, skill, decision making and running ability to matchup in any midfield position. I think he’s a lock to go to the Kangas or if he slips pass them, the Hawks would be crazy not to pick him.

@Nascent thanks for the the Fox sports rankings read. As per my phantom, there’s still likely some players who might drop here and be available at the 40ish range. Taylor Goad. Clay Hall. Joel Freijah. All are very impressive youngsters in this years crop. Ashton Moir could be the biggest wildcard in this years pool. However we will likely pass on the late 2nd round pick 42 (would prefer us to trade it into a 2024 2nd round pick - possibly with the Power).

Eagles … are you saying give us pick 6 (7) for Your pick 23 this years draft AND your future 1st round pick 2024 draft keep talking .

Caddy or Curtin?! Curtin every day of the week if that’s a choice.

Agree. Thats a Xmas gift for us if Sanders is available at “6”. He’s a high quality skilled midfielder.

Really like to see Dees bring in Caleb Windsor. Definitely his pace would be a huge plus. I think Dees want Sanders/Leake and Wilson/Windsor. Any 2 of these players would add to the next midfield phase coming through. Of course either Curtin and OSullivan also more than welcome to be in red and blue.

From the AFL website And only one team lost more close games than North Melbourne (2-5), with Melbourne (4-6) putting its supporters through several thrillers, including losing its two finals by a combined nine points. Round 8: Beat Gold Coast by five points Round 10: Lost to Port Adelaide by four points Round 11: Lost to Fremantle by seven points Round 13: Beat Collingwood by four points Round 16: Lost to Greater Western Sydney by two points Round 18: Beat Brisbane by one point Round 19: Beat Adelaide by four points Round 22: Lost to Carlton by four points Qualifying Final: Lost to Collingwood by seven points Semi Final: Lost to Carlton by two points Record: 4-6

No.
