PODCAST: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Looking forward to the DL pod this week 3 wins on the trot, but to be honest, versus some lightweight opposition (still you can only beat who’s your opponent). HUGE TEST V HAWKS NEXT WEEK ! Eagles match. “Game of two halves”. Shocking 1st half. Much much better run and attack in the 2nd half. A decent 5 goal victory after poor first half What I enjoyed? 1- Max Gawn. Our legend. Our hero. Our leader. What a champion. 2- Kade Chandler. He’s desire. His run and carry. His goal sense. Has taken up the high half forward role from nibbler. In career best form. 3- Windsors goal in the 3rd. Run and run and goal. Loved it Honorable mentions to Ed Langdon. He’s in very good form. Run run run. Jake Melksham. His smart use of the footy and his goal from 50 out. Not young anymore but very smart footballer. Winning A 4th Quarter. Wow 6 goals and didn’t stop running. We didn’t get lazy. Stats file ✅Clearances 49 to 26 (built from Gawns domination) ✅Tackles in fwd50…17 ✅marks inside50… 16 💔1st half 3 goals 27 inside50s. Wish we had a real tall key forward 💔turnovers 70 !! Skills still a problem The “what I didn’t enjoy” file Eagles 5 goals in a row (in 2ndqtr + early 3rd qtr) Seeing Hunt run and run in full flight. I’d like to still see him in red and blue! Scofield commentary over the Melksham incident “I’ve seen multiple weeks suspensions for less”… he’s a grub. In fact the biased commentary was very hard to take. And finally a question - likely team changes If Petty … Will either or perhaps both JVR & AJ come in? Go Dees

The Melksham incident
Jake Melksham fairly nudges (with his hip) McGovern to protect the drop zone AND MARKS THE FOOTY. Umpire clearly GOT IT WRONG. Melksham was right to protest that. Cannot believe the West Australian media are calling for a Melksham suspension. Eagles are the worst losers in the AFL.

My 3 word player analysis V WC
Spargo. In 108 minutes of footy… 5 kicks 9 handballs 86 metres gained, pressure rating Low, 1 tackle (when Hunt rang into him). 1 goal from that tackle !! Two missed tackles. Just barely barely a game. Lucky he got that goal in the last quarter. We need much much more from him!!!

VOTES: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Brownlow votes 3 Gawn 2 Petracca 1 Viney Umps tend to surprisingly not recognise guys like Chandler. They work so hard with and without the footy. Chandler is having an excellent year and unheralded by many. @binman - please raise in this weeks pod

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Such a disgraceful headline. It was good play by Melksham. Used his body to nudge McGovern under the footy AND TAKE THE MARK !!! no free kick. That’s a mark. Dees will fight and suggestion otherwise!!! Must be written by the now unemployed Dutton campaign managers. Sickening !!

2024 AFL DRAFTEE POWER RANKINGS
Murphy Reid is overrated. Smart player. Bit too smart really. Doesn’t work hard enough in defence. Had zero tackles versus Saints. Wanted the easy footy or the one out the back !! So glad we didn’t pick him. Lindsay and Langford were my choices and we nailed it 👏👏👏👏

We chose Kolt ahead of Darcy Wilson. Too early to call but the Kolt has been very disappointing tonight.

GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs West Coast
1st half summary 🤮🤡🤮🤡🤮🤡🤮🤡 Horrible game dees drinking their own bath water dees had chances but inaccurate goalkicking Eagles got a sniff and took their chances Dees inside50s 29 … 3 goals Spargo is one of the worst players to wear red and blue. You simply cannot defend him. Delist him and see that no other AFL club would be interested Simply must respond Simply must win !!

NON-MFC: Round 08
Bulldogs run and run and skills are something Dees need to get to. Guys like Dale, Williams, Richards and Treloar are mid sized players with great skills
