Dees2014

If you were Kossie why would you walk? He may not be paid quite as much as some of the lower sides would pay him, but he would be very well paid. You just need to look at Jackson at Fremantle to see how very good players can become rapidly irrelevant if they are also not in very good teams. I’m sure Goodie and the boys would be pointing that out to him. I’d be staggered if he walked….

And we get back Kossie next week. All we need is Max and we have the unbeatable GF side…

I was just thinking the same thing. Nice to have an escape route…

The ground has to be the same size as the “G”. I doubt Prahan fits that criteria.

That’s great to know and very reassuring. since you seem to know a bit about this, what is the strength of the rumours that Dailey is taking a full time job as a coach at Geelong in both the men’s and women’s programs. Doesn’t seem to make any sense to me given her long term commitment to the Dees, in both programs. Surely we could find a spot for her.

How about personal relationship? I don’t know, just taking an educated guess…..

I’m tipping Demon by 20+ points going away in the Grannie with Bannon and Harris both playing blinders. The perfect introduction for the men’s 2023 season where they will be unstoppable with their elite All Australian ruck combination……..

I think the recruitment of Grundy will force a change in game plan for the better. No team will be able to match up on it, especially if we also get Van Rooyan (sp?) firing up forward. Interesting time ahead…

Yes, isn’t it great to see the women’s game developing so fast, and that the D’s are at the forefront of that. It will become the most popular women’s sport overtaking netball and basket ball within a couple of years. Even though the girls play the game a little differently, it is really growing on me - the standard improves so much from year to year, and is now really skilful. Exciting stuff!

I love the way we now take the game on, and have the players now to do it successfully. Putting Haris in the ruck has been an inspiration.

Yes, loved Bannon’s balk around the mark to run in to goal. The crows were dumbstruck…….she’s a talent there is no doubt about that….

Salary off the books l believe…..

I think JVR is a better bet than TMac, and l think this may well happen. We need to be adventurous in this “last chance saloon”, particularly to freshen up our attack. Now is the time….

How about Jackson for Bradshaw - when you think about it it is not as silly as it sounds!!!

A question: 1. Do we really think Luke would go from a premiership team with a realistic chance to win 2 or 3 more over the next 5 years, to a side which probably won’t be in the window for the next 5-7 years. Sure he would be paid maybe 25% more at the Eagles in his home state, but it is a lot to give up, and it is not as though he would be poorly paid at the Dees. I rather suspect that after we win our second flag in two years, and with every prospect of a couple more after that, that he just might stay with us to get the glory that that represents.
