2nd 👍🏻kozzzy at the footy 👍🏻Melksham goals 👍🏻Viney inside contest 👍🏻big Maxy battling ☠️umps are killing us Frees 15-9 (7-7 in 2nd) ☠️Trac airball from 25 metrs out after great team run and handball ☠️Salem is lost and is too slow inside 50s 10-10 in 2nd qtr Team HAS THE STOP THE GRASS GUARDING - noble and Rioli have time to dissect it and hit targets ! Jeffo looks lost - watching it live and he’s not instinctive - just reactive to the kick - needs the aggro pills desperately

1st 37-1 Suns 21-6 inside 50 Suns 8-2 frees Suns tackles 19-8 Dees too many handballs 🤮 Dees missed tackles 🤮 Dees slow with footy🤮 DEES forwards are stagnant leading the midfield hold the footy too long DEES GUARD GRASS IN ZONE - MAN UP !! Ffs

Very poor today. Kentfield YES Mentha YES Hardie YES if only he was on the list Others … hmmmm not depth to enthuse from today’s effort

First quarter. Well what a scrappy mistake fumbles quarter in beautiful dry sunny conditions. Two late goals to the Suns. Footskills are poor. I think Kynan Brown unfortunately will struggle in his career. 100% heart but has serious kicking issues. Culley is so laconic. Hard to know if he really could make it. 240volts needed at the quarter time address.

That surface is ridiculously poor. Great match but that ground area is a disgrace. Players slipping and falling over in that forward 50. It’s going to cause a bad knee injury soon !!!

Really went to see him forward for the next few weeks at Casey. He’s a more natural forward. I’m not seeing him as a key defender. Let’s see him as a big marking forward. That’s why we drafted him.

Harmesy 💙💔still love ya Great stuff. Harmesy and JJ. Harmesy and Grundy. Dees bond always there.

Derksen. Yes. He can play key forward or key defence. Would bf good alongside Turner in defence. Dees will likely go again this year to get him. Trade a future 3rd and get Giants 4th round back. Just a dry biscuits trade. Gruzewski. Yes. Though I think Giants will try to hold him

17 AFL Dees listed. Powerful line up. Only missing Spargo , Johnson & Sestan. 6 Casey listed - Deakyn Smith, Baldi, Hardie, Bonner, Sruk and Craven. Unfortunately Cross is injured as he has been very good and kicked crucial goals Tough game actually as the VFL Suns hold a good record at home but expect Casey to get the win.

Ok Lever out … certainly not 100% right So bring in Tmcd who was in good form before he was squeezed out … and Suns have three tall forwards in King, Walter & Read … but no ?!?!!?! is he now done and heading to retirement Ok Windsor out … needs to return to the wing. Get some run and run at Casey. He’ll be back !! JVR out?? Why ?? He needs to be played. He’s playing 2nd ruck so a puzzle why he’s out. Jeffo in … ok. Needs a go (but I would prefer JVR, Petty and Jeffo to be given a chance together) Kolt in … ok. Unlucky to get dropped after the Pies clash. Perhaps we’re looking at the future Sharp in … hmmm maybe he is in for matching up to tag one of the Suns half back runners like Rioli or Noble or likely he’s the sub again. My call would have been Out Lever Windsor In Jeffo Kolt Mcvee May Howes Bowey Turner Salem Lindsay Riv Langdon Chandler Petty Fritsch Kozzzy JVR Jeffo Gawn Trac Clarry JV7 Langford Melksham Kolt Sub Sparrow

Tough calls now!!!

The AFL gave Geelong an informal warning today after Max Holmes had stern words with on and off field umpires over the standard of officiating on Friday night. The league reminded the Cats of their expectations re player behaviour. No sanction. AND NOW WE WILL SEE THIS ACROSS ALL THE FOOTY SHOWS AND THEY WILL RIDICULE HOLMES AS BEING IMMATURE AND DISRESPECTFUL… or won’t they?!?!

I think one impressive youngster for the Dees to consider is Sam Cumming. He’s a midfielder small half forward type. In the bits and pieces that I’ve seen in his games for South Australia, he shown the skill and good running through that translates to AFL. Made good decisions with the footy and yes he hits targets inside forward 50!!!

Dwayne Russell Anthony Hudson Gerard Whateley Rebecca Madden Jay Clark 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Patrick Voss key forward Bombers VFL to Freo SSP pre 2024 season after missing out on the draft for 3 years Archer May Key forward Sandringham Dragons 2023 premiership forward alongside Calser Dear, ignored in 2023 & 2024 drafts

FREO 13.3. Yes 8.0 from set shots. Confidence. Technique. Dogga 3 straight and not easy shots !!

May. Salem. Gawn. Trac. JV7. Clarry. Lever. Langdon. Fritsch Like the core group for the future … Pickett. McVee. Windsor. Turner. Petty. Rivers. Bowey. Throlstrup. JVR. Chin. Jeffo. Howes. Sparrow + Langford. Lindsay. ?question marks … Verrall Woey Brown Sharp Laurie Adams Sestan Kentfield + AMW. + Mentha + White + Sinnema

Definitely. Sinnema is a very good young player. Not ready to go like a Langford or Lindsay but he’s one to add to our list and develop. Has the kicking ability that the MFC list needs.

McRae on Daicos being tagged: "Watching it back it caught me off guard how much he (Daicos) was getting tackled off the ball early (on King's Birthday). But I think he got some reasonable free kicks in the end to balance that out.”. Tackled off the ball. [censored] off !!! Langdon corralled and bumped and chased down Daicos so he didn’t get soft disposals under no pressure. McRae manipulated the media and indirectly the AFL. He’s the chief filth!!!

The AFL fixture or “FIXED-ture”…

@dazzledavey36 I just don’t think it’s necessary to call it out. Just my opinion. Amongst all the news worthy things for on the weekend, this could’ve been a pass. I think Tracs kicking (especially kicking inside 50 entries) and his handling/fumbling are bigger concerns for me and worthy of the focus !!

Another NICK RIEWOLDT cheap shot “At the moment, it looks like he (Petracca) is unsure about his own body in that contested situation." ☠️Nick Riewoldt on Christian Petracca Trac had every right to be protecting himself He had a very intense internal injury and has to be careful!! In my view, it just looks like he reads the flight of the ball wrong.

Which ended in Dee-saster!!! Melksham missed as well

What’s his tally now. 2.14!!! 16 shots …he spins the ball endlessly then sways it left to right and left and right Then his hook which is now systemic Goalkicking is shout straight levers and minimal fluctuations!!! How it fix it? Biomechanics Confidence Practice
