spirit of norm smith

Hunt was the scapegoat. But others have been underperforming. BBB is lucky that Tmcd is injured and Weid is “too nice a boy”. Mitch Brown remains to provide some target. Tomlinson stays in until May is back. Spargo lucky to stay in imv. I’d give Bedford the chance.

Ditto from me. FFS … AFL are trying to screw us over.

Disagreement Scuffle Fight Brawl Wild Brawl its escalated in 48 hours

Rivers was BOG v Swans in VFL last week. I thought he’d be back to replace Hunt.

Did this happen for the Jordan DEGOEY incident in the USA??

He’s probably going to now be rising up the draft board and out of our reach. Shizzzzzen!!!

And now for some good news. From humble beginnings, the podcast has grown and now the true believers have helped raised $25,000 to help fight the beast. Well done to Zurich, Gus and Max, and Bec Daniher is a star. The ‘Friends of the Podcast’ t-shirts – a nod to Max Gawn and Angus Brayshaw’s weekly segment – were a hit with Dees fans; the exclusive batch selling out in its entirety. Linda Griffin, Head of Brand, Marketing and Corporate Affairs at Zurich Australia and New Zealand, said the collaboration was a great way to further Zurich’s support. “Joining forces with the Gus & Gawny podcast has allowed us to increase our donation to $25,000 - what an incredible example of two partners working together to make a bigger impact as a team,” Griffin said. With Big Freeze 8 just around the corner, Gawn and Brayshaw were on hand on Wednesday to present the cheque to FightMND’s Bec Daniher, on behalf of Zurich. The sizable donation will continue the great progress made in search for a cure.

Huge QB game warrants a big performance.

And again … let’s not forget

Love it. Great buy 👍🏻

live pictures of Steven May right now he must be regretting his actions big time I have been a huge fan but drinking whilst under concussion protocols and then having a fight is beyond my comprehension but premierships are won in September and he must pick himself up and know he owes his club and his teammates and us supporters

well said …

Dees had won the 1964 GF and were top of the table before the clubs administration self combusted and sacked Norm Smith. It destroyed the culture. Saddened in the last 24 hours of the Bartlett- Roffey ❌texting rubbish and now Steven May out drinking ❌and getting into a fight with Melksham ❌ Culture is not a word. It’s actions. Clearly not on point right now. Pert and Goody need to read the riot act both the players and to the Pres.

New headline … optimistic view “Steven May is taking 3 weeks off to fully recover from concussion protocols”. 🤣 “Dees want May to be fully recovered before the big clash with the Lions.”🤣

Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now.

That’s if the leaders were at the table …not sure they were but we’ll hear more if yes then it’s Liam Kelly 👍🏻

Joeboy - harsh but fair

Gawn deserved the 10. He tried to carry us to a win but even his huge frame couldn’t lift the 12-13 teammates underperforming.

FB - Rivers May Lever HB -Salem Petty Bowey C - Brayshaw Viney Langdon HF - Harmes Jackson ANB FF - Fritsch B.Brown Pickett Ruc - Gawn Oliver Petracca Int - Jordon, Sparrow, Spargo, Bedford Sub - Baker In. May Rivers Bedford outs. Tomlinson M.Brown Hunt Lucky to stay in … BBB, Spargo, ANB. Bedford needs to be given the chance. Tomlinson could stay in if Petty doesn’t come up. Like us, Pies are strong in defense and midfield. Mids group is Adams Degoey Pendles Sidebottom Lipinski and imv Daicos will be a star. Moore Crisp Howe Maynard Quaynor make up a very good defensive line. Their forwards are just average … I think we need Petty for Cox and May for Mihocek. Lever takes Henry. Rivers takes Ginnivan.

Certainly need improvement in conversion and connection with our tall forwards. And if they’re not marking it, they should at least contest to bring it to ground. Bbb and Weid have been very poor across. Tmcd is strongly and more contested in his marking. Whilst not focussed upon, our output and goals from small forwards also needs to be addressed. Pickett 15 goals (6behinds) Spargo 5 goals (8 bdhinds) ANB 2 goals (9 behinds) Kozzy should be a 40+ goalkicker. He’s been very good in patches but needs to stay in forward 50 and occasionally venture upfield. His danger is within scoring distance. Spargo and ANB contribute indirectly but need to be much more dangerous and score themselves. Often inside 30 metres they look to handball rather than score. I’d like to see Bedford given a real run and not as a full time medi sub. Bedford and Kozzzy inside 50 would be good to have for 3-4 weeks. At the moment Cameron (30) Bailey (26) McCarthy (18) have amassed 74 goals for the Lions. That’s a fair differential in scoring power.

Watching MitchLewis v Pies yesterday, couldn’t happen but think about how important desire and a positive attitude are. His intensity and drive to win the footy was great to see. Unfortunately polls apart to Sam. Sam is a great young man. I’ve met Sam on several occasions. He’s friendly and well educated well spoken. Love to see your daughter bring him home as her partner. But he lacks a true competitor warrior type attitude. Watching him in the VFL on the weekend and couldn’t help but think he’s not going to make it. His aggression and intensity isn’t natural.

I think it’s 1 win 2 losses v top 8 teams. 9 wins vs teams 9-18. We need to big 2nd half to remain on top. 17-5 is the minimum goal right now.
