Sending Geelong, then the filthy Hawks out 2 weeks in a row, to mark our return to finals. Seeing the delirious joy on the young faces in the crowd was almost as good as the result itself. Did anyone else notice Hibberd talking to Goodwin after the game? Loved the "2 more" he gave Goody as he walked away. These players are on a mission, and belief is high. The Dees are back.........

Dont do it. It will smell all yummy like a girl. Let your dog wear it all night.

I sold Chad a refrigerator on the Sunshine Coast many years back. Until that point I was sure that his teef were fake, and part of his act. I was horrified to realise they were his actual teef ewwww

Interesting discussion. Our list is certainly stronger across the board than it was during our last finals campaign. I've always thought that your bottom 6 can play a big part in winning, but STARS can win games almost by themselves, and we have a couple of players now that could be considered stars. But.... Stars are also made in finals, and with a strong finals campaign, it may come to light that we actually have more stars than people realised. I'm not expecting a flag tilt this year, although its one of the worst top 8's I can recall, so anything is possible. But next year, all things equal, look out comp.

It was a nod to your committment to the team mate, not a stab. Enjoy the game.

Interesting thought. hadn't considered that. I rate Oscar. Have done for a while. MUCH better foot skills than big brother at this stage of his career, and is very reliable for such a young KPD Reads the play well, and is starting to zone off at the right times, to take the intercept marks. Has a footy brain. Ok, gets mauled occasionally by the giants, but with the way the game appears to be going, 1 position gorillas may soon be a thing of the past. With Frost showing signs of improvement, it bodes well for a flag attempt in the next few years.

How do you figure that? I would think our 2nd rd would be in play, as several clubs would be interested. Would be nice to add a huge bodied, aggressive player to the list.

Maybe it's just me, but I had a chuckle to myself that a bloke who has flown to 16 games this year, is at all concerned about an $82 ticket. No disrespect intended mate. Hope you get your seats together.

This is a line that should be conveyed to Gaff at every opportunity. You can near on bet that it will happen at some stage.

You cant just buy a couple of Tier 1 tickets?

Agree with this. It's been nice to see the seemingly sudden development of Sam Weidemann, with his ability to give Gawn a rest, but surely we should be looking for a capable backup for a long term Gawn injury. Its been proven how important he is to us, and we would certainly find it much much harder to be a flag winner without a full time ruckman in the middle. We are about to challenge for a Premiership, so a mature ruck backup is needed now.

Oliver will be offered $1.5m p.a by another team (most likely Norf) before his contract is up. He is the superstar that 18 teams are looking for.

Disagree Oscar has shown MUCH better kicking ability than big brother did in his first several years in defence, to the point where he can be relied on most times to find a target, and gets to plenty of contests. For his age and size, he is progressing very nicely. Just needs a heap more strength, and we will have a first class tall defender.

If I had 10 attempts over 2 weeks of thinking time, I couldn't come up with anything better than this to describe the phenom that is Oliver. That 3rd qtr effort was nothing short of Superstar.

Can see it now. "Who has the best midfield?" threads, with norf supporters talking up some nobody side into second, so they can then type a novel about why they are number 1 "Cunners, Zeibs and Benny J cutting the packs open, and feeding the ball to Gaffer and Joshy K. Wow, we will be invincible!" Norf suporters are my favorites.

SATY WILL BE DELIGHTED!!!!!!!)(*&^ HE NEVER RATED GAFF ANYWAY!!!! :0 CAN'T LIKE ANYONE'S POSTS FOR SOME REASON!!! CONSIDER YOURS LIKED........!!!!!!....

WOW PICKET, THAT'S TERRIBLE NEWS!!!!!!! !!!!!! HOW DID YOU LEARN THAT ????!!!???????!!!????!?!?!?!??!

Oliver will be our next 3 Brownlow winners.

Did Pres Trump mention Gaff playing with us next year, or did the Russians sign him already?

As obnoxious as he can be, Saty is entitled to his opinion. Only thing that counts against you Sat, is that you cannot find a negative thing to say about any Dees player, but cant find much good to say about a bloke who gets 20 bazillion touches every week, and displays traits that are an identified weakness in our list.

Scully was not a "real" case though. The AFL backed (and funded) him going, as a P.R coup for their new pet franchise, and as such, I didnt consider him. Imagine what Norf will offer him once his contract is up.

They should instead put their chequebooks away and turn their attention to next year’s crop of out-of-contract and free agent stars, which includes some of the biggest names in the game. The Blues, Roos and Saints have been desperate to add class to their midfield groups for some time. All three clubs tried in vain to lure Josh Kelly home from Greater Western Sydney last year, while the Kangaroos also unsuccessfully dangled a $10 million, seven-year free agency offer at Richmond star Dustin Martin. This year all three were linked with Jordan De Goey – the Roos again leading the way with a $5 million, five-year offer and the Saints not far behind them – before the explosive forward/midfielder re-signed with Collingwood last Sunday for two years. All three remain in the race for Gaff, but face stiff competition from Melbourne, which shapes as his most likely new home, and Essendon. The hard-running Eagle is also every chance to resist a move home to Victoria given West Coast looks well placed to go deep into the finals in the next few seasons. If the 26-year-old re-signs with the Eagles – or if he enters free agency and signs with the Demons – Carlton, North and St Kilda should resist the temptation to snare another midfielder in this year's market.

Will be the first Dees player to be offered a long term contract over $1m p.a (not by us) Kid is a superstar in the making.

I have no idea about football. I thought Lewis did some great things against Port. Treacle slow, yes, but well worth his place in the team.
