spirit of norm smith

Agree. Same as every year.

2 marks. Uncontested. About 15 contested attempts. He took 2 beauty’s versus Freo and not really any contested marks since. Gets to the contest but needs to grab a few more.

TOO MANY PASSENGERS. JONES. JORDON. SPARGO ANB. BRAYSHAW BROWN MELKSHAM you could drop all of them. Doing SFA

Yes Laurie is our mystery out this week. No rush for him. Quality young smart half forward.

Agree. Bedford and Pickett would cause nightmares for opposition defenders!!!!

Watched the whole Bulldogs game. Dogs impressive. Suns were poor and have injuries. One area the Dogs have advantage over us the pace of Treloar and Bailey Smith. They really breaks away with the footy after Bont, Libba, Dunkley, Macrae win the footy.

Agree retention is the priority

I’d say Sparrow is most likely sub once again. Hard to see Baker, Daw or Jetta.

Sparks could still be a player. One to watch at Casey this year. and the Riv ... one of JTs diamonds. He is a good pick and has the skill, courage and intensity to be a 10+ year player.

Patton should have come to the Dees. He was a Dees supporter and was exactly the big full forward that we needed over the past few years. Injuries and stupidity cost him his career.

Oscar McDonald- injured

In. Sparrow Petty Mitch brown outs. May Fritsch Jordon (medical sub) jetta petty* Lever Rivers Tomlinson Salem Hunt Viney Langdon Melksham Tmcd anb Pickett Jackson Mitch brown* Gawn Trac Oliver int jones Brayshaw Spargo sparrow* sub Jordon

I agree it might be Mitch Brown. But I’d even seriously be thinking Toby Bedford. He’s a quick goalkicker and with Kozzzy, he’d be a handful!!!

HOW TO LOSE TO THE TIGERS ...?? go slow and wide and let them fill up the spaces and stop your ball movement then the tigers win the footy and go quick ffs Saints are playing into tiger trap !!!

I haven’t changed my mind. Viney is a bloody champion.

Happy then. Happy now. Hunt has shown why his pace and run is critical in today’s game and is exactly what we needed. Definitely started 2021 on fire.

CLARRY signing on. YES YES YES Sensational player. Sensational news.

Oliver unlucky? You gave him 2 votes. So do you mean he was unlucky to only get 2 votes. I think your votes show us the team game. Many had Trac and Gawn as best in ground. Yet I think there were fantastic contributions from 8-9 players. Good times.

No trade. No way. Fritsch is nearly nearly there. Ready to kick a bag of goals. He needs more grippo on his hands (still misses some easy marks) and the confidence with his kicking. He has the marking and kicking and agility to be a huge asset.

Valuable contribution today. Ok. Smart options when he had the chance. Tackling definitely better. He should have kicked 3 or 4 goals but like others, didn’t quite finish. I’m not convinced he’s in our absolute best 18 but I’m not axing him either.

It’s a huge loss if he misses weeks. Petty and Tomlinson get to have the crack at Lynch. Daw might be double back up option.

Melksham NEARLY played well. I’d expect him to nail some of the kicks and marks and tackles that he missed today. Should be better for today’s run.

Ins. Petty Hibberd out. May (inj) Jordon Jordon as medical sub.

Gawn. May. Petracca. Langdon. All would be All Australians after 4 rounds. Lever close. Oliver nearly.

Fritsch finished off the work. Had so many chances. Missed marks. Missed tackles. Only one tackle. Defensive pressure nil. 4 clangers from 12 kicks. But his goal in the second gave us breathing room (thanks to Henderson brain snap) and bobbed up in a chain to finish off our best running goal. He is my Jeremy Howe type. So much potential and so so close to really nailing his talent. He was good (and I nearly gave him votes) but could be better. Go Dees
