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.

ANB for Rachele. Not the worst idea 🤣🤣🤣

McVee has to be in this side ahead of Mckercher. Judd has had a fantastic year. 👏👏👏 so no Dees in 22under22. Sad times ahead ??

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. We want to beat them no matter where or why or what is at stake !!!!

Bennett was a true full forward. Would love to have a player like him right now. We really enjoyed the last qtr comeback v bombers at windy hill. Ricky Jackson and Bennett were the match winners.

Jesse Dattoli could be a bargain draft buy this year. He just seems to remind me like a Rory Sloane type. Good runner. Creative ball user with good skills and smart decisions. Also knows how to kick a goal. Had another good game fo Northern on the weekend with 3 goals.

Thanks and best wishes. Part of our 2021 success. Time was certainly up. Is this part true - in his bio … “Greg played in the 2007 Asian Australian Football Championships for the China Reds”.

Riv.👏👏👏👏 Love his run. His intensity. Energy. Gives 100% each week. More from him to come in the next 10 years.

Jack ‪Viney is a star ⭐️. Premiership player 🏆 red and blue heart ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙‬ Jack will be a demon for life 👏👏👏👏👏👏 we love it !!!!

Dees supporters feelings towards Tom Morris 💩💩💩

2024 wow positives … ⭐️Max maintaining his place as the best ruck in the league ⭐️ Jack Viney -6th on tackles list Another huge year (likely runner up again in B&F) 👏👏Fritsch 41 goals - not a defensive bone in his body, but he knows how to kick a goal 👏JVR still showing improvement as key forward 29 goals 👏ANB and Ed Langdon having good year with stats above average 👏Windsor & the Kolt look to be quality players for us going forward 👏 Judd McVee. Beat small forwards all year. Reliable and composed 👏 Rivers showed his intensity and early signs in midfield transition 👍🏻Howes debut and showing he’s a player 👍🏻Moniz-Wakefield debut and will be a player 👍🏻Melksham return from knee injury 👍🏻Turner showing form as a new forward 👍🏻Tmcd had a reasonable year with above average performance across all defender stats ouch moments 💩💩js29 💩💩Gus10 medical retirement 💩oliver’s year below par 💩Trac’s serious injury 💩May’s injury 💩Grundy and JJ having very good year at Swans 💩McAdam Billings Fullerton adding very liitle as did Hunter & Schache in 24 💩losing 4 games by less than 5 points (aggregate lost 4 games by 10 points … 1,5,2,2 v other finals teams) 💩💩💩media pile on about toxic culture and players wanting to leave 💩💩💩💩missing finals

He said he’d be interested in signing any mature player like Jack Viney. Luke Parker also mentioned. Clarkson (Thursday) said it’s poor to even name players as the off season circus starts and to do so is very very bad taste. Clarkson on Friday stated some players names he’d be interested in !!! The guy is bi polar !!!

Add Sam Edmund 💩💩💩 Port Adelaide has renewed its interest in Melbourne forward Kysaiah Pickett. Pickett signed a new 4yr deal only last year, but the Power continue to reach out as the Dees battle their latest bout of player turbulence. Understand Adelaide & Freo have also asked the question. No suggestion at this stage that Pickett is considering leaving, just that the interest has again been made clear. @1116sen

Lots of headlines and negative media. Club in crisis. Toxic culture. Players want to leave. No communication. Poor leadership. Staggered they don’t talk to each other. The truth is that he wants to go. What I don't know, is whether that will lead to a trade request." @tommorris32 gives an update on Christian Petracca and the situation at Melbourne. Oliver to go Petracca to go Viney to go Here’s the key executioners Tom Morris💩💩💩 Kane Cornes 💩💩💩 Craig Hutchison 💩💩💩 Caroline Wilson💩💩💩 Matthew Lloyd 💩💩 Sam McClure 💩💩 Nathan Buckley 💩 Jay Clark💩 (Petracca wants to go to Collingwood) do any of them actually know ? It’s often just media click bait … they love the drama let’s kick the Demons thanks to Garry Lyon for his voice 👏👏 thanks to Max🏆 Gawn resigning to 2027 👏👏

Alastair Clarkson made headlines last week by declaring his intent to poach Jack Viney from the Demons. ——————————————- Buckley Morris Cornesy And other trolls say Viney is leaving and set to consider 4 year deal from Kangas ——————————————— @RalphyHeraldSun reports Viney is set to spurn interest from North Melbourne and re-sign in red and blue. 👏👏👏

Suns virtually a full list so very difficult to beat them on the GC Lukosius definitely did his best to earn a trade to the Crows. If the deal can’t be done, Dees should see if he’s interested in wearing red and blue in the future. Casey essentially had a team of players not at AFL standard, kids developing and suburban footballers. Too many injuries and others not available Really of the non AFL listed group on Steele and White are at the standard required. We really missed Hustwaite and Connolly who only probably played 2-3 games before getting season ending injuries

No.

Joel Freijah having an excellent year at the dogs. Pick 45 last year !! 29 possessions v Kangas in his 11th game. Was tipped to be top 15 at start of 2023 however somehow dropped after a solid 2023. Was strange that he was overlooked all the way until picked at 45. Recruiters must have lost his draft notes 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Young Bendigo star Tobie Travaglia had a great game on the weekend in the VFL (for Carlton v Richmond). Definitely now a top 10 pick in my view. He had over 20 possessions across half back and wing. Looked very comfortable and his kicking in particular was A grade. Got good distance with his kicking. But it’s his 2nd efforts and tackling that was perhaps most impressive (he was working hard even without the footy) .

IF WE WIN Get to enjoy beating the Pies Knock Pies out of 2024 finals race Dees likely finish 10th (draft pick 9) Get to enjoy the song Alex Neal-Bullen gets a final game victory Will be at least a bright spot on a down year IF WE LOSE have to hear that putrid Pies song have to endure Pies talk about finals and their edge over the Dees finish 12th (draft pick 7) Will be a downer for the night & for the summer LETS GO DEES. LETS BEAT THE FILTH THIS WEEK !!! GO DEES

Max Gawn 👏👏👏🏆💙❤️💙🏆💙🏆💙❤️🏆💙❤️🏆💙🏆💙🏆👏👏👏

No. Nice way to finish with 6 goals. Ben Brown. Premiership player 2021 🏆 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes MFC should come out and say this behaviour doesn’t sit well with “our culture” 😀

Yes hard to see Peatling leave. Giants might lose Cumming and Perryman so they’ll use the extra $ to go to Peatling. Hes shown he’s a quality player and he will get the deserved contract and $$$. If we could get him, he would be a very good addition. But alas I think not.

For Neal-Bullen. 😭 Crows. Swap for crows 2nd round pick 25/26 - that’s light on and we get ripped off Swap for Zac Taylor - is he a midfielder or small forward - maybe Crows add in their 3rd round pick (pick 45-46) … maybe too light Swap for Jake Soligo - would be a massive steal for the Dees 😊 but they won’t let him go. Maybe we throw in Adam Tomlinson and pick swaps. Power Swap for their 1st round pick - pick 15/16. That’s fair!! We could throw in the Swans 2nd round pick to go back (around pick 38). Swap for Dan Houston 🤣 We could throw in Swans 2nd round pick.
