Heโs first 5 games have been consistently good. A great start for the young man.

Selwyn Griffiths
Yes good to get the two wins but the 5 day break was tough. Really struggled in the last quarter as players fatigued. Not sure the conditioning was 5 star but we got the result so ๐๐

Harrison Petty
Kane Cornes might hate the Crows but heโs thinking that the home town pull might get Petty to Adelaide. Dees have the do our very best to retain him. As a key forward or key defender, heโs hard to replace. At 24yo, heโs best could still be ahead.

NON-MFC: Round 04
Giants 4-0. Definitely a premiership threat. Stars. Kelly. Green. Coniglio. Greene. Taylor. Whitfield. Very strong soldiers to support. Himmelberg. Brown. Buckley. Ash. Daniels. Idun. Developing stars. Callaghan. Cadman. And two very exciting forwards in Hogan and Bedford. Orange tsunami a real danger.

NON-MFC: Round 04
Yes it was a strange decision by JJ to leave and choose Sydney. Swans have plenty of mids and also added Adams. JJ is likely to be squeezed out again!!! Iโm surprised he didnโt pick somewhere like the Crows or Hawks.

Carlton are reminding us why we hate them. Such arrogance. Umps got Blues home again ๐ก๐ก๐ก

AFL Mid-Season Draft 2024
Certainly ex-Sun Jez McLennan would have to be considered. In todays SANFL v VFL game, he looked very good and would be physically ready and skilled as a 23yo to walk into the team. The issue is he is a running half back and we are probably ok for that role. Though his talent would be a handy addition.

Mr Ed
Ed Langdon was sensational in 2021 including his endurance running and ability to run all game was a huge asset. Edโs consistency was still on show in 2022 and 23 and not why the club faltered in finals. He also hit the scoreboard regularly with 13-15 goals in 2021 and 2022. That dried up unfortunately in 2023 down to 6 goals. I think an issue was he is often โcaught to close to the boundary line with little room to move and only a narrow margin to work withโ. He needs to stand in another 10 metres to give himself room and options with the footy. Small things though and Ed remains a very very good key player.

Crunch Time
Dermie๐คก has always hated the Dees. He misses so much obvious things. Oliver couldnโt spoil due to his right hand which clearly is restricting him. Oliver has never taken short steps. Note that ๐คกDermie also says the Blues lack for midfield runners and have only Cripps as a gun mid. He has forgotten about a bloke called Sam Walsh and Adam Cerra. Footy Expert? Hardly !!!

2023 Player Reviews: #41 Judd McVee
Incredible. McVee was a standout addition in 2023. His composure and skill. Now in 2024 heโs showing even more resilience and his ability to control and deliver efficiently is next level. He shut down Rankine and again was one of our best on the night. ๐๐๐๐

Kozzy bump on Soligo
Absolutely correct. Medium impact ???? How. It wasnโt even assessed. Get the Crows doctor to testify. THE DOC has to say โNo real impact. He was fine. Hardly even any contact โ. Kozzy goes free. Come on Dees. Itโs not a time to bend over and accept this [censored] from the MRO.
