Anderson. Rowell. Ash. Top 3 for sure.

BROWN STAYS AT KANGAS. SHUT THE THREAD. WE HAD OUR CHANCE WHEN HE WAS AN 18 YEAR OLD.

Both Anderson and Rowell. We need a Anderson or Ash type of skilled mid to run and deliver. Anderson is like Dayne Beams/Mitch Duncan type as he can accumulate in the midfield and also score goals. Rowell is the Joel Selwood type which is great but probably not critical for us. Ash is your fast effective wing or ruck rover. He could be exactly what we need and ready to go. Have to hope Goodwin doesn’t restrain his burst of pace and go negative. Think of a younger bigger Kade Simpson who likes to run

Langdon for 2nd round 2019 (circa #21) and swap of 1st rounders in 2020 with Freo. Outside run on the wing GET HIM IN Schoenmakers 25yo who can be picked up as a free agent - 3rd tall or backup for Weid - Good Eye for the goals (we need goal kickers) #2-3 Ash -18yo instantly walks into wing opposite Langdon ; big call needed if Rowell was available #39 Bergman - 18yo classy youngster from the Dragons Suits our need to get skilled footballers in # 57 - Brodie Newman 18yo super talent doesn’t get all the recognition like an Easton Wood type Competitive skilled wins the footy 192cm Allows Salem into a roll in mid if needed # 75- will Fordham 23yo (Frankston VFL) classy skilled midfielder who runs and accumulates OR Matthew Allen - eagles listed but stars everyweek in wafl (wasted) upgrade to the list. Dunkley. Lockhart. CWagner Gone. 9) Lewis Spargo Keilty T Smith Jkh Maynard Garlett Walker Jwags medicals avberg Jsmith kkolodahjjjjjjji

Three words. Show some heart.

Watching the cats. They play my 10 point plan. Quick ball movement. Holding guys like Andrews, Adams, Hodge accountable in the back half

Salem had a good first 1/2 of 2019 BUT now either turnovers the footy or does a 15 metre chip wide or to no one should be hitting targets with 40 metre clearances poor 2nd half and has been either injured or lost all chance confidence

Spargo plays like a grade 6 - 12 year old- type. Kicks go about 20 metres often resulting in turnovers. Give me an indigenous small forward x-factor type. Not a turnover tiny ineffective type.

Voss!!

What’s worse in life Receiving a parking ticket OR been given a Dees membership? It’s a poll ... with Dees membership winning 90% of the vote Shows how quickly we have become the joke of the AFL. Coach and players are insulated from the crap we have to put up with in the general public.

But I guess 6- Melksham for at least scoring 5- Lewis. He delivered the ball without clangers 4- Lever. He spoiled punched tackles and defended as get as humanly possible 3- Frost. See Lever comments 2- Petracca. Because he tried 1- Gawn. Because he gave his all AGAIN. big man. Big heart

6- 5- 4- 3- 2- 1-

Good article. We have been yelling all year to this. It takes Twomey to give a brief. Ffs.

1- some passion and heart for the contest. Last night was an embarrassing return to no respect. Swans rubbed our noses in the dirt and they are rebuilding. 2- Preuss in. Spargo out. Team selections due to no form and no structure have been very puzzling. Preuss needs to be given more time. 3- run and run and kick long. Yes sometimes there is no forwards but we go so slow, the opposition simply flood back and strangle us. Keep two forwards inside 50. At least one capable off marking the footy. Simple stuff. 4- Kick the goal. Our goal accuracy is horrible. Simple shots missed from 20-30 metres in front. Plus “ kick the goal”. We overhandballing inside the 50. It’s like no one wants to kick the goal. They are scared to kick it. We try to run by handball to the 10 metre square. Ridiculous strategy!! 5- lazy footy. Chip kicks 15 metres sideways. Safe and lazy. Salem. Hibberd. Viney play it safe and actually slow down movement 6- Centre square clearances. For a dominant ruckman in Gawn, we LOSE most centre square clearances! Oliver Viney Brayshaw Petracca are all good in the inside 7- forward strategy. Why do our forwards always lead to the pockets. It’s totally stupid. If you mark it or crumb it, it’s a 10% chance of accuracy. And it’s so easily spiked/punched out of bounds. 8- stop leaving the opposition with a loose defender. Rance/Grimes, Hurn/McGovern, Rampe/Lloyd, Stewart/Henry. This week it’s likely to be THOMPSON AND Macmillan just sitting back and picking off our sloppy forward 50 entries with no opponent. So many teams rebound out of our defence too easily. They back themselves to win the footy and destroy us with counter attack skill week after week. Our loose defender has no effect. Man up all over. 9- 2nd effort running. Too many players handball and kick and stop. Maybe it’s the turnovers that have led to no confidence in our forward movement. Good teams , like us in 2018, run in waves and give options. It’s like having extra players. Maybe it’s a lack of fitness. Try this at least for the last game. Just try attacking. No matter what the score, our goal should be 15 goals. 10- play the full quarter and the full ground. Our players switch off too easily. They work for 90% and switch off. It’s costly. It’s the poor handball or poor kick that ruins the run. It’s laziness. The ball is nearly over so we stop. Push hard for 100%. It’s all a laugh and giggle sometimes. We are not ready in the first 2-3 minutes or the 25 minute onwards. We concede so many goals at the start and end of the quarter. Goody should be screaming “switch on” about 100 times a game. Give us something this week. Our year has been embarrassing. Really destroying our faithful and loyal members and supporters.

Agree. Went small. Microscopic actually. Fritsch and Melksham as key forwards. Dunkley Chandler Anb Spargo. Preuss would have presented and given the contest like he did earlier in the year.

Bring back Roosy

Agree. Jennings has feathered his own nest with international trips and other career building projects. No strategy on show ALL YEAR.

Member appreciation. A joke. They don’t know how to SCORE. YES SCORE. Out and delisted. Stretch. Jkh. Spargo. Omcd.

Devoid of anything tonight. So empty

How’s the goalkicking goody ffs 5-11. 7-8 gettable shots from 25 metres missed. Ridiculous

How DUMB DUMB IS HARMES ran into the tackle

Seriously. How bad is Spargo. Terrible. He has had 5 shocking turnovers. Three cost us goals in the rebound. He is HORRIBLE. like a 12 year old schoolboy.

Tanking. No. Poor. Very poor. No system.

Looking lost obviously. Hope he snags a goal somehow.

Lever looking better tonight. Maybe needs footy into him.
