spirit of norm smith

Crows are laughing. McAdam is now a pick 23-24 in this draft. He’s a lazy footballer. Cannot kick 35 metres. Mercurial yes. But two or three efforts a match is lazy!!!

Message for JT. We need a type of player. Look for more competitive players. Hard nuts. Skilled footballers yes. Ones who will defend their teammates. Ones with spirit. They might now all be the elite youngster but you cannot build the spirit in that hard grit. Thoughts? @Whispering_Jack @layzie. @dazzledavey36 Here is some within the 2024 list Sam Lalor Tom Gross Cooper Hynes Harrison Oliver Zak Johnson Kade Herbert Nat Sulzberger Youngsters who could stand up when the heat comes !!! Not physically pushed aside.

1 Tigers. Jagga Smith - Oakleigh 2.*Brisbane match bid. Levi Ashcroft Father son. 3. Roos. Luke Trainor - Sandringham 4 Eagles. Finn O'Sullivan - Oakleigh 5. Crows. Sid Draper - Sth Adel 6. Saints. Josh Smillie - Eastern 7. * Suns match bid Leonardo Lombard 8. Dees … either of Harvey Langford - Dandenong⭐️ Sam Lalor- GWV⭐️ Xavier Lindsay - Gippsland⭐

Not mid paced … slow slow slow. He’s got no size either.

3 votes N Daicos was clearly clearly best on ground runs runs runs uses the footy to perfection 80% disposal efficiency 40 possessions one grab player no fumbles does not slip over uses footy to advantage of next player … not to their feet … not behind them DOESNT EVEN TRY TO KICK WITH HIS OPPOSITE FOOT EVER massive score involvement massive metres gained accelerate into space zero defensive game but who cares !!!! I hate the pies I hate the pies but Nick Daicos plays the game with such composure and smarts. our mids could learn 10 things from this kid

Watched Laurie v GC suns VFL - beaten by suns VFL Fiorini Berry - slow. slow. slow amazed he got promoted Watched Laurie v Pies tonight Came on as sub at half time - was slow around the ground - had free possession and kicked on left foot - lazy - not running back to pickup pies players - guard grass - tackles ok But he hadn’t shown anything this year Gifted this extension He was recruited as an evasive small forward but has actually lost pace since his junior days

Good. We get some compo !!!

Apart from Viney there’s no flag bearers it would be embarrassing

I’m recruiting WARRIORS who can kick Sam Lalor Harry Oliver Zac Johnson they like the contest and have talent to match not nice marshmallow boys !!!

Why did he even bump ? Its too dangerous.

LETS GO DEES. LETS BEAT THE FILTH THIS WEEK !!! GO DEES

The AFL setup a Friday night blockbuster in the fixture. Round 24. Dees v Pies. Now it’s effectively a dead rubber. Only our pride and our rivalry on the line. We want to win. I think we need to win. Some small revenge. We want to beat them no matter where or why or what is at stake !!!!

Not sure we have again identified the pies super power over us. Pace. They run through the midfield and we lack pace. The addition of Laurie hardly benefits us in this area. Daicos brothers. Crisp. Quaynor. Love to run it through the corridor. Pies have a one tall-five small forward setup. Hill, McCreeery, Elliott, Schulz. We have Tommo, Tmcd, Lever, Hore, Howes. McVee has to play back.

Sestan is 50/50. I agree only the internal footy staff know what he’s capable of. He has good footy IQ and showed some extra run in 3-4 games. However in other games, he went missing. Wait and see!!

Early crow but how good is Cooper Duff-Tytler. Very much in the mode of Luke Jackson. Duff-Tytler is a fantastic young basketballer who happens to also be a star ruckman in AFL. 200cms. Weight unknown. Competes in ruck and works as a ruck rover all over the field. Dees might just have to keep the future 1st round draft pick for 2025 for him. 2025 draft - Dees could add him and Ah-mu and White. Wow !!!
