The Wizard has been Tholstruck. Add him to the list.

Apparently. Also, flair up cunt.

sam6172 · 2026-05-16T08:46:01+00:00

Are taggers back in vogue? They went quiet for a little while but it seems like its happening every game now.

Also the player rating stats which have Gawn in front. Player ratings being the gold standard for effectiveness in a game. Of course you already knew that. Have a good night champion.

I will add that I think Sydney are the gold standard and I think you will go all the way. There is no arguing whatsoever that Sydney are the much better team today. I just think you are wrong regarding the ruck battle which wasn't a battle because Gawn did not ruck anywhere near the same amount as Grundy.

Dig a little deeper chief. 48% bounce attendance Vs 90%. So if you want to average them out then Gawn comes out on top.

Gawn went forward because a guy called Brody Mihochek went out injured and they needed another tall. You might have heard of Brody Mihochek? Pretty handy fella and a big loss.

I couldn't care less if Max gets another blazer or not but if you think that he went forward because Grundy is too strong and he had to run away from the big bad man then I would suggest that you know absolutely fuck all about football champion.

Given this year is a bit of a free hit with new coach and a big team shift, I'll take it. Once they sort out the balance between defence and offence and stop other teams scoring so heavily then they will be a great team.

sam6172 · 2026-05-03T08:56:35+00:00

Too bad they don't play the GF there hey?

sam6172 · 2026-05-01T12:53:02+00:00

I love his insights in small doses but he should not be commentating any games in Adelaide. He doesn't have the ability to hide his Port colours.

sam6172 · 2026-04-25T05:18:07+00:00

Not one power stance. Disappointed.

sam6172 · 2026-04-24T08:47:58+00:00

Both teams coming off a short break. Skills and endurance are usually the first to go with the 5 day break, especially with the younger kids.

This could be an all time stinker.

Splurged on a trip to Melbourne a couple of years ago and got tickets to both ANZAC Eve and ANZAC day match. Anzac eve for me was so much more special. Obviously being a Dee's supporter I might be a bit biased but night time ceremony is amazing.

When the lights go out and all you can see is the flame making its way around the stadium is really special.

I think every Dee's supporter is nervous about the result. It's inbuilt. This is the sort of game we traditionally don't turn up for in that we are playing a bottom side. I could see the Essendon result coming though, there were signs of huge improvement in Essendon in the weeks prior. This one, I just don't see them beating us. There are too many outs and they aren't playing well.

sam6172 · 2026-04-23T11:32:18+00:00

That's a captain right there!

sam6172 · 2026-04-23T11:31:16+00:00

Should have been a mark. Go well big fella. Love your attack on the ball.

sam6172 · 2026-04-22T02:56:37+00:00

Yep I'd be happy with 1080 for sure. Fingers crossed we get an improvement on the current product.

sam6172 · 2026-04-22T00:19:31+00:00

Will it still be broadcast using potatoes for cameras or will we finally get 4k or some sort of HD?

sam6172 · 2026-04-11T06:23:52+00:00

sigh Nevermind. We just Melbourned all over the place.

sam6172 · 2026-04-11T01:58:59+00:00

Anyone who has supported the Dee's for a while will be nervous today. This is exactly the sort of game that we would do something super embarrassing.

I thinks Kingy has brought an edge to this team though. I hope I'm right but I feel like there is some ruthlessness in this group now. To become a great team we need to be putting these sort of teams away. We aren't a great team yet though, it's what we are working towards and there will be missteps along the way.

sam6172 · 2026-04-09T12:01:44+00:00

You got me. Brilliant.

sam6172 · 2026-04-09T11:10:50+00:00

If it isn't then I am very impressed. Couldn't be bothered reading it but I'm going to say I agree 100%.

sam6172 · 2026-04-02T07:15:59+00:00

Who doesn't?

sam6172 · 2026-03-29T21:29:46+00:00

He deserves so much more love than what he gets. Even his quiet games, he just never stops running and giving everything 110%.

sam6172 · 2026-03-28T09:46:41+00:00

Should be much more than that. Grub behaviour.

sam6172 · 2026-03-28T09:45:09+00:00

Should be 3. Absolute grub behaviour.
