spirit of norm smith

With Gawn needing a break soon, is Preuss ready for a game soon ? We brought him for this and need to see how he goes. Not sure if he’s match fit given no VFL this year.

Definitely in the Brownlow votes again last night. Great game. Great leader. What a champion !!!

Trade Oliver !! Lloyd is a tool or a fool. Either way he’s got it wrong !!! Go Dees. Go Clarry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6 Oliver 5 Viney 4 May 3 Petracca 2 Jackson 1 Weideman Apologies to Lever. Salem was ok but not in my best. He still didn’t use the footy to a huge advantage. 15 metre kicks are soft targets for a bloke with his talent. He can lift and show us what he is really capable of.

Very good analysis

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve said it a thousand times. He leads too wide and it’s either spoilt or goes out of bounds. He should use the corridor more.

If suspension (but also he was rubbish) ... Out. Anb. In. Pickett If injured again. ... Out. Avberg in. Hannan Unlikely but if he needs a rest to ensure he stays upright Out. Gawn (managed) In. Preuss If AFL is a joke and soft suspension to Lockhart Out . Lockhart In. Jetta

Agree. Good response. Not sure why the heat is into JT. Only questionable pick was Spargo when players like Petruccelle for pace was available.

I agree it’s not JT The trades of Preuss and Tomlinson probably need more scrutiny, as does giving 2x first round picks for Lever. Mahoney or Taylor or Goodwin?

Free kicks crows 7 Dees 2. Missed free kicks - crows 2 Dees 6

Agreed. Get them out.

I turned off. It’s horrible

DEES need at least two young wing types (with excellent skills) to be drafted but traded out the 1st round 2020 pick. Here’s 10 boys from prior years championships and under 16s carnival who showed promise. Jack Carroll -East Freo Colts (20-25) Zac Dumesny -Sth Adel seniors (20-25) Jack Ginnivan -Bendigo U18s (25-30) Nick Stevens -Greater West Vic U18s (25-30) Jamieson Murphy -Nth Adelaide U18s (25-30) Joshua Clarke -Eastern U18s (30-35) Brodie Lake - GC Suns NT academy* (30-35) Patrick Walker - Tassie U18s (45-50) Harry Sharp - Greater West Vic U18s (45-50) Ty Sears Swan Dist U18s (45-50)

Correct. Ben Gibson asks the good questions. The ones we ask. Mahoney is a politician. He is very eloquent and presents well. It’s not one offs. 2019 was a disaster. Our skills are horrible and we need to get it right.

Yes it’s just that we could have come back to Qld and played North. Why not? Gabba and Metricon both available. Would prevent us doing complete pack up for a 5-day trip to Adelaide for 2 games. We will have played in all 5 states by end Round 11. No other club has had that travel agenda. Lions stay in QLD again. Perhaps they should have travelled to Adelaide but no, AFL darlings stay in QLD.

I agree.

Sorry I had Fiorini as an outside mid. Wing. Running up and down the wing at the G. I’ll watch the next suns game more closely.

I think Joel Smith will look elsewhere. Kangas? Swap for ?? Mason Wood?? My option for a swap is young 21yo Tom Murphy. Murphy would be a good replacement as a mid size rebound defender and can assume a Hibberd style role. His skills and intensity are good. Not quite cracking a game for Kangas.

Tigers kicking skills are ELITE Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

Agree

F ARK IN ELL ROOS V DEES IN TASSIE - rescheduled to Dees v Roos in Adelaide ROOS V LIONS IN TASSIE - rescheduled to Roos v Lions at Metricon. Dees get screwed every time. Lions are absolutely favoured with AFL trying to gift them a flag !!! FFS

Clearly a stronger Crows team. They waved the white flag v Roos. Set themselves to win v Dees

I still think we will add 3 youngsters. Definitely won’t be inside mids or a young ruckman. NEED OUTSIDE MIDFIELDERS THAT CAN RUN, WITH SKILLS TO KICK THE FOOTY.

Agree. Goodwin cannot continue if we lose this. It’s a “186 point loss “ no matter how big the scenario of a loss.

Tom and Oscar can go to the Suns in exchange for Brayden Fiorini and a 3rd round pick
