I’m still in shock. Our leadership “cohort” must be very thin. I thought May would be the obvious choice. But again like the “Preuss non inclusion and tommy mcd and Spargo inclusions”, I’m completely out of sync with Goodys mind right now.

What a far-K-ennn joke. They should be sent to the bush. They were completely biased and inconsistent. They also saw Gawn being hit 60 metres off the ball and did nothing.

Glad the way Kane Cornes call out the Crows. Pathetic mob.

I think this is the biggest issue. Our players look to kick to Max both in the kick outs and in general play down the line. We will need to execute our kicking better and not just kick to a pack. North has pretty good key defenders so need to lower our eyes when kicking to the inside 50.

North’s goalkickers likely. smalls - Anderson Zurhaar Hall talls - Daw Larkey but they always seem to beat us through their mids kicking goals. Higgins Polec Dumont Simpkin. Really have to stop Higgins. I’d give Harmes this assignment

That’s overly optimistic for a guy who can’t get a game at the Dees. I think we could get a pick in the 3rd round 50ish or get a trade for a player.

If I was his manager, I’d be on the phone to Giants, Swans and even the Lions about a possible early exit from the Dees contract. Goodwin has shown he’s not interested in Preuss which is very disappointing and the big man should look elsewhere. Dees could put a request to trade Preuss to Giants in exchange for Adam Kennedy or Bobby Hill.

Zorko is a star. To think he was overlooked in 4 drafts and rejected by the Suns. Neale does get a lot of contested footy but also a lot of soft out to the back handballs.

We were on board. Will be a very good player. He probably may be not able to crack Dees midfield right now so better outcome for him was Freo grabbing him.

Rivers May Lever Hibberd Tomlinson Salem Langdon Brayshaw Harmes Melksham Tmcd Hannan Fritsch Weid Pickett Jackson Petracca Oliver Jones Sparrow Vandenburg..... Spargo really will miss Gawn and Viney and Lockhart. Lockhart has played really well over the past 3 weeks and whilst big in stats, his tackles and smothers and spoils and pace as a back pocket has been excellent. They need to be back for the Pies clash. Dangers are clearly Higgins, Goldstein, Polec and I think Zurhaar and Jed Anderson with their pace in the forward line.

Thanks DD36. Missed his reincarnation

EXACTLY. HE MUST BE ABSOLUTELY [censored]&(ED OFF THAT HE SIGNED WITH US. THERES PLENTY OF CLUBS THAT COULD USE HIM. HES SEEMS UNWANTED BY GOODWIN

So we now have Gawn and Viney and maybe Pickett out of our best 22. Still should be enough talent to handle the Kangas (who are missing Brown, Ziebell and Cunnington).

Yes that was the moment that we started to draw up a contract for Preuss. If he’s fit, he the one to bring in. I just think goody might go with a tom mcd and LJ combo.

I think 38 plus 4 rookies (including any cat b rookies ) is probably preferred. That replaces 40 plus up to 6 rookies

Well done Jacko.

I agree. If he was sore, then had to be rested versus the bottom placed Crows who had a lower ranked ruckman in O’Brien. It’s a hmmmm moment.

Up to the task. Happy to assist JT if needed! Though I might need to sharpen up in the speed typing.

Yes I agree that Preuss should come in. He’s the backup Ruck. I just think goody will use tommy mcd. It’s because goody never seems to go the logical route sometimes.

I think the Dees will bring in Tmcd this weekend to give Gawn a break. Then use Jackson as relief ruck with Tmcd playing forward. This is likely especially if Goldstein’s also managed. Tom mcd should be fit enough. If Viney is rested, then surely Harmes and Brayshaw get more midfield time. I’d also look to bring in Hunt and put him on the wing. He needs to see what position he can try to get and cement otherwise he’d be looking elsewhere imo.

Kobe is Freo bound and I think good enough to get drafted. Maybe he could play 4-5 years at Freo then switch to the Dees !!!

Have to seriously consider Darcy Cassar from the 2019 draft group. He’s a midfielder/classy half back who missed out on being drafted but trained with the Hawks over the summer and was close to being added as a SSP sign up. He signed up for the Bulldogs VFL Team for 2020 and impressed in the two practice matches before the year ultimately ended. He’s too good not to be in the AFL system.

It’s farrrrtkkkkkn mad. We are likely to play 4 games in 18 days with some teams like saints having a bye. Ridiculous scheduling from AFL.
