GAMEDAY: Rd 24 vs Collingwood
The AFL setup a Friday night blockbuster in the fixture. Round 24. Dees v Pies. Now itโs 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 !!!!

GAMEDAY: Rd 24 vs Collingwood
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.

Delistings 2024
Sestan is 50/50. I agree only the internal footy staff know what heโs 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!!

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
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 !!!

2024 22Under22
McVee has to be in this side ahead of Mckercher. Judd has had a fantastic year. ๐๐๐ so no Dees in 22under22. Sad times ahead ??

Darren Bennett. โGreat Stuff at Windy Hillโ
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.

2024 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
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.

Jack Viney Extends Contract Until 2028
He said heโd be interested in signing any mature player like Jack Viney. Luke Parker also mentioned. Clarkson (Thursday) said itโs 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 heโd be interested in !!! The guy is bi polar !!!

Club in crisis - Media pile on - August 2024
Add Sam Edmund ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ 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

Club in crisis - Media pile on - August 2024
Lots of headlines and negative media. Club in crisis. Toxic culture. Players want to leave. No communication. Poor leadership. Staggered they donโt 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.

Jack Viney Extends Contract Until 2028

CASEY: Rd 21 vs Gold Coast Suns
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 canโt be done, Dees should see if heโs 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

2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
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 ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค

2024 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
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 itโs his 2nd efforts and tackling that was perhaps most impressive (he was working hard even without the footy) .
