spirit of norm smith

Macrae is a gun and goes under Bont’s shadow. The key is reduce his ability to run it. He’s a distributor. Key to Macrae. He’s dominant in his left side. He will baulk and evade. Don’t be fooled. He always goes into his left.

Great acknowledgment for Nev. He is mentoring the young blokes at MFC as well as all the Casey boys. Toby Bedford is close to cracking a game imo and could form a dynamic duo with kozzzzy. Love to see him given a few games in 2022

Agree. Hunt or Jordon will be the unlucky one. Joel Smith also.

Yes agree.

“I love the boys I love the club it’s a great place to be “ Sam’s words reflect the footy club right now. Great spirits. Great team bond. Hopefully Saturday night tops off the year.

Yes I think this is correct.

Happy E is a likeable guy. Easy going. Balanced. Lots of interests outside footy. Doesn’t have political agendas. Good for a laugh. Educated. Cultured. I know he is a champion on field. I now also know he’s also a champion bloke off field too.

Ross Lyon must know we finished on top. He must know Goody has coached from the bench. Lyon consistently shows himself to be a total tool !!!

Another article. Bowey like Whitfield. I hope the Dees have switched off all the social media and news articles. I think 17-18 players have had feature articles across the last fortnight. Nice to get but I’m hoping that the “bath water syndrome” doesn’t kick in. We need one more win. Only then should they write all the glossy features. We must win.

Naughton and Schache and English to go forward to stretch our defence. Dogs will see our matchups as May on English, Petty on Naughton … then Dogs will try to use Schache to make Lever accountable.

Whilst Sam has been largely disappointing over the past 5 years, he had shown glimpses that make him a valuable player to keep. We need to be mindful that in 2021, we have had a low injury count year. We have been able to have Jacko and Tmcd plus Weid and BBB as required. Keeping Weid allows us to have the safety net and try to keep on developing him. I see Sam as a key forward (CHF ultimately) but little likelihood of a backline role or ruck. 49 games. 49 goals. Certainly he is now 24 and less of a boy and needs to be a man in terms of physical ability to compliment his talents. Two year extension to 2023 through to free agency is fair enough.

I really hope Nev is behind the scenes working with Kozzzy to show him the hard work and discipline of AFL footy. I’m sure Nev is a wonderful mentor to our team and will be part of our big day.

53000 Demons rising in preparation for the GF if we win … the reaction will be magnitude 10 !!!

Only 3 more sleeps getting ready to unleash hell Go Dees

Cerra is worth one first round. Probably pick 8-12range. Right now , I can’t see MFC being able to offer Freo what they will be asking

I think the best choice is Hunt. He can cover more holes than Jordon. I think the coaches right choice is JJ. Safe. Loyal. Reward as part of the team.

I really really really really want us to get that Premiership poster. It’s as much a part of the GF win as the cup. Give Em Hell Go Dees

Absolutely magic and shows the type of guys Max ❤️💙and Trenners ❤️💙 are. Trenners is definitely part of the Dees family. Injury robbed him of a successful career.

Lloyd is a tool. Dees would want to be ready to back up Max. Viney to be assigned to the Bont and bury him as a response.

Langdon was exactly the player we needed. In fact would love another fast endurance midfielder as well. Like Lever, May, Brown … getting Langdon onboard has been a trade success.

I agree with the conversation. Hunt being fit allows for a potential to add a lot of impact. Forward or back. His run versus the dogs in round 19 was actually one of the better performers. Hunt could also play wing if we lost a mid and Brayshaw had to go into the rotation. Dogs pace is a worry. Hunt could help combat it if we lost a man. JJ is the safe and loyalty option. Goodwin loves this. It’s the team. JJ has been replaced by Sparrow. It would break JJs heart to be dropped. JJ is quite vanilla.

I think this is where the game will be one and lost. The mids are going to be a tough battle across both sides. The difference in round 19 (apart from biased dogs umpires) was Daniel was allowed to be free and had 34 possessions to setup play going forward. He must be stopped and negated.

Usually I cry out for more media and recognition for the Dees. But over the last two weeks, we’ve been overwhelmed with virtually the whole team plus support staff plus coaches all having media articles across the Hun, AFL website and The Age plus of course our own Dees website. The job is not done. Don’t drink the bath water. Stay focussed. We have had a great year. Stay hungry. But the job is not done.

JV is made for this. Bring it !!!

Love it. Go Dees ❤️💙
