We are pretty meh, clearly work rate issues to my eye, thought Essendon outworking us. Quaynor has been so disappointing, really no idea why he has gone backwards, but he has. Even Maynard looks a touch slower this year. In positives, Moore was back to close to his best. Checkers should have...

It's the most dominant we have looked for a long time. Best pressure game I have ever seen DeGoey play, just think what he would become if he had that intense defensive effort there all the time. I thought Cameron was just outstanding and his efforts to get back to support the defence so...

5. Cameron 4. DeGoey 3. WHE 2. Lipinski 1. Naicos

Had to post, really like the Doggies because Bont is one of my fav players ever. No coach does less with more. How many times do teams easily chip the ball around and through the Dogs zone? That's coaching and set up. How long do you want to build a team without true elite defensive talent...

Clearly best on, but way too Hollywood with his ball use. You gotta take the good with the bad, sometimes he pulls it all off. Against the Hawks, a lot of it didn't.

Geez, DeGoey show time play was just horrible. We have lost the edge unfortunately.

Absolutely, but he usually does it with both arms on the ball so he can still dispose of the ball. I don't want them to pay those to him either.

Other than trying to draw the free kick, what purpose does hooking that arm serve? He has the footy, he is not looking to dispose of it, his intent is to draw a free kick and use his arm to hook it up higher if it is not high enough. That is precisely what playing for a free kick is. Play on or...

100%. Also, we are not in great form. Season could be over after Sunday if we don't perform. Macrae has shown nothing to suggest he is a positive to the AFL team yet. I'd prob bring Steele back in for Macrae and keep Crisp sub. If we are Shiite in the 3rd quarter, Crisp will come on and...

I have the solution to the Hawthorn problem next week. Please, please, please put a stopper on Sicily. Not only does it frustrate the hell out of him, it stems their ball movement. Can't let him have 37 touches and 14 marks again. Where is Tyson Goldsack when you need him!!! Not sure who does...

I didn't mean to refer to Ash Johnson, just that Finn gets favourably rated due to being the brother of a very good footballer. Yeah I hope Macrae can develop, but I don't see him getting to 50 games. McIness has some x factor, some top level traits that could develop into a very good AFL...

I liked a lot of what you said, but Lipinski? He was not good, super fumbly and poor with his disposal.

I'm still not sure we have anyone in super form...Elliott, Maynard, Frampton, Noble, McReery all very good, Naicos was solid, a lot of contributors, no real stars. Geez the tackling pressure was amazing though, wasn't it? Inspiring flagpies!!!

If his name was Finn Johnson we'd be calling for him to be delisted. It's not there. Not fast enough or tough enough or skilful enough, bit too ok and no a grade features. Seems a top quality VFL player though, the top level is just a bit much.

Geez people get super negative super quick. We should be celebrating these guys, the champs who gave us so much over the past couple of years. Stick fat, stay supportive. Noble in over Markov, not sold on Fin, but he does deserve a full game. I'd like to see Naicos play high half forward with...
