1st half V eagles with 6/7 key players out and on the bottom with one win Gawn 👏👏 Rivers 👏 Salem 👏 43-21 (dees led at 15minute mark … 41-8) Terrible match . Horrible !! X Missed tackles. Names? Chandler. Petracca. Windsor. Culley. Langdon X let Maric run loose / 15 possessions X Gawn handball to … eagles player!!! X fumbles and errors Petracca Kozzzy X kozzzy disinterested and turnovers 40% disposal efficiency X go wide go wide go wide … kick to the boundary line X stop and prop and stop and kick to … out on the full - Tmcd and Rivers X JVR it’s a no he falls over he doesn’t lead up He wrestles Just not a smart footballer Really nice young man !

JVR No No No Fell Over At Every Contest

Kozzzzzy. Where’s he at?? Barely interested

Pickett turnover Langford falls over Turner fumbles Eagles goal What a joke of a team we are

Ruthless ??? Hardly. Playing like it’s a VFL standard.

Dees are bad Eagles are terrible

❌Just pathetic game … Errors ❌missing goals … Behinds ❌No one wants to kick a goal ✅Good defence USE THE FARRRKKKN CORRIDOR - why wide wide wide Farrrrrk n stupid !!!

In 2023, played as a key forward in the VFL before the switch to the defence in 2024. Outstanding year again as a key defender in the 2025 Giants VFL team. Averages 9 marks and 21 disposals a game. Stuck behind Buckley, Taylor and Idun, and Giants preferred Aleer above him.

And ditto. I’ve posted this several times. How can Tim Lamb still keep his job ? I’d rather than invested in the youth with picks than bring in these trades. The Mcadam trade is a shocker. We gave up a future 2nd round which was then used by the Crows to get Alex Neal-Bullen. What a deesaster!!!

Spargo to Giants Derksen and the Giants 4th round pick to the Dees Everyone is happy !!

Culley is in He’s get his chance A boyhood dream 💙❤️👏👏👏👏👏 Hope he has a game to remember Go Dees

We all love the Dees. But sometimes our dreams are like kids with “Rainbows and unicorns”. Walsh ? Reid??? Windhager?? JUH? We have zero cap , zero appeal, zero to attract real targets and … Flanders as depth (he walks into our best 18)

The line this week is 50 points. A win … yes but we want to show that we don’t relax. Ffs smash them !! No McGovern. No Reid. Graham. Waterman. Yeo. Allen. All out

Goodwin strategy … we will take away learnings !!! Ffs. “We’ll just own it and do something about it and make sure it never happens again”.

@Turner I like it. Similar to my thinking. Ruthless where required. Not just the boring repetitive dialogue about getting rid of Oliver and Trac. There are ways to regenerate and rid of many list cloggers. Overall outstanding work. Maybe harsh on Woey and Verrall who I think maybe can get there at AFL level I like the reach to grab Max Heath. If TDK joins the Saints, then Dees must go for Heath with a 3 year deal, where can play 2nd ruck and forward , and be a successor to Gawn.

That’s just too much to bear … who’s been managing these contracts? Underperformers who got more years than they deserved. Did we give McAdam a 3-yr contract ? FFS. Crows must have been laughing at us. A 28yo injury riddled player with 5 minutes of quality being given a 3-yr deal!! wtf

At least Viney, Trac and Clarry contributed and lead the team charge to 46 up. No excuse for the [censored] up in the last quarter though. It was a cluster [censored]. But it’s not these guys alone that were the reason and plenty of others have dropped off completely on the weekend and in the season. Sparrow? Petty? Salem ? Tmcd? All were poor. Spargo also gives us nothing ! It’s our next core that have also fallen a long way. Agree Viney contract extension length was too long. But he’s tackling and contested footy was better than anyone by a mile on the weekend. @dazzledavey36 who is your proposed “outs” at year end ?? - and for trading out guys like Trac and Clarry, and others, where to and for what???

Just some thoughts right now The list … (16) Kozzzz🤩zzy. Petracca. Gawn. Viney. Oliver. Lever. Langdon. Fritsch. Petty. Rivers. Bowey. McVee. Chandler. JVR. Turner. Howes. Young guns (5) Windsor. Throlstrup. Lindsay. Langford. Mentha jnr. Veterans (3) One more year… May. Melksham. Tom Campbell. (10) Fringe/Doubtful /keep (2026) … Adams. Kentfield. AMW. Jeffo . KBrown . Sharp. Woewodin. Sestan .Verrall. Johnson. —-———————————— ❌9 Trade: (Spargo) (Laurie) (Salem) (Sparrow) Retire: Billings McDonald Delist :Fullerton Hore (injured) Delist Ruthless: McAdam

Gawn. Legend Viney. Keep Petracca. Keep In my opinion, our best three players versus the Saints. Fritsch also in our best. Keep Oliver tried his guts out. Keep WHO TO TRADE OUT? Sparrow did zero and surely Yze will take him Spargo is pathetic every week and will be best traded to the Giants for Derksen Salem has lost pace and impact , and again will find a new home probably at the Power or Lions Laurie has not been given a chance and will have a few clubs interested

Clayton Oliver, Bayley Fritsch & Jake Lever (Melbourne)“Similarly, significant change is coming at Melbourne on and off the field. “Clayton Oliver’s huge salary works against him now if he wants to leave, which I believe he still does. There’s Bayley Fritsch and even Jake Lever there too. They’re two players to keep an eye on.” Dart board journalism

Hug a Dee today !!! Reach out and make sure fellow supporters are ok.

I chose Euphoria!!

Goodwin. This is on you. St Kilda gave Wanganeen-Milera a four-minute spell early in the last quarter (12m to 16m) before he unleashed the Marvel Stadium Miracle. Pickett was benched for nine minutes from the 20m mark. Players do get stuck on the bench but that kind of move loses you games of footy
