    Wow. $1m a year for 6 seasons. That’s ridiculous money. Though North are in desperate times and need to stabilize their defence.
  2. Scoring power. Dees still not achieving our best outcomes - goals - from inside 50 dominance We had the most inside 50s on the weekend yet had =5th highest score Dees. 61 inside 50s. 14 goals. Power 60 inside 50s. 16 goals. Crows. 59 inside 50s. 21 goals Blues 51 inside 50s 15 goals Hawks 51 inside 50s 15 goals Swans 46 inside 50s 16 goals Connection forward of centre and inside 50 must get better and our goalkicking still needs to sharpen up
  3. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1139194/father-son-trio-tyler-welsh-and-ben-and-lucas-camporeale-shine-as-south-australia-downs-allies-in-under-18-national-championships-opener/amp Crows and Blues definitely would be happy. Tyler Welsh is almost ready to go for 2025. Camporeale brothers will be drafted early and matched by the blues.
  4. Wonthaggi boy Jack Hutchinson is expected to be picked early in the mid year draft. Now at Collingwood VFL this year, his “Schwartz like” high marking has been a highlight and he’s a capable key forward goalkicker. Likely the Eagles or Hawks might call out his name.

  6. The top 5 choices for me are Geordie Payne. Tassie under 18s Riley collier-Dawkins. Williamstown VFL Trent Bianco. Footscray VFL Max Hall Box Hill Hawks Noah Howes Sth Adelaide SANFL and my wildcard is Oscar Van Dam. Tassie under 18s … Love his name and he’s a good young footballer too

    Josh Battle. My vote is YES
  8. I like what AMW also does when he doesn’t have the footy. Still moves well and reads the play. Not bad for someone with a rugby background. His tackling is good. I’d like to see him as the sub this week. Would like to see how he goes.
  9. Like to see some work being put into Clarry’s disposals. firstly yes the short little handballs hit targets but mainly are blokes under more pressure than him. Decision making ? secondly is there anyone else who kicks rainmaker air balls into the forward line - you know the kicks that “ go up as far as they go along “ . Clarry used to bullet some kicks. Not anymore. Maybe again a confidence thing.
  10. No love for Tomlinson?
  11. It’s another 3 votes for Max Gawn surely. I think it’s likely 3- M.Gawn 2- J. Viney 1- C.Petracca maybe S.May for a vote I think the umps like and remember Mids who also kick goals. The goals and inside play get them votes ahead of strong defensive trio The projected votes have Gawn between 13-15, Trac around 9-10 , & May on potentially 7-8 votes. JV7 up to 4 votes likely.
  12. Thank you someone in the Dees coaching box for identifying how to stop the Saints run. The Saints love the ball in Brad Hill’s hands but he was under pressure and his effectiveness was reduced.
  13. Gawn clearly BEST ON GROUND then you could throw a blanket over the rest Viney. Salem. Tomlinson. May. Tmcd. ANB. Trac. others included Kozzy and Langdon (to be best 10). AFL website nominated BEST Narrm: Gawn, Petracca, Viney, Salem, May
  14. Like to see AMW debut next week. He deserves a go. Give him a chance v Freo.
  15. Hunter. Zero tackles. 1 contested possession. Twenty metres kicks. Safe and wide. I think he still lacks what’s needed when the heat comes. Today was a nice Sunday afternoon walk v saints so ok.
  16. an absolutely great. Gawn. Back to Casey. Hunter. Where's his spark. McAdam
  17. Dees beat Saints on a Sunday afternoon. Ho hum game to be fair. Dees did enough and won it through 30-45 minutes of footy. Third quarter burst was the only time that I saw the glimpse of what we can do. Last 10 minutes of Second qtr and Last qtr were poor.
  18. How did we let the Eagles beat us? They are a mess. How did we let Reid bully us? Crows paid him some attention
  19. 6 Gawn daylight 5 Oliver 4 ANB 3 Tomlinson 2 May 1 Petracca apologies to Salem
  20. Last 3 goals to the saints. Cost me $200 win !!! FFS. Went defensive when 9 goals up
  21. 14-14 to 6-8. 54 points wtf saints get 3 goals !!!
  22. Petracca. Captain fumbles. Wtf. Pick it up !!!
  23. Hunter is (censored)
  24. Bowey to … Marshall 😡😡😡
  25. Clarry has zero defensive IQ full stop. Great midfield bull
