Just lost to the two best teams is a shocking argument to why we shouldn’t have sacked him yet. The Collingwood and Carlton games were the most demoralising losses in years with pretty much a full strength list. Even the 9 goal qtr against port…
More surprised at people’s reaction than Dew actually getting sacked.
It looks like we have actually digressed on last year, and there have been lots of whispers from the early rounds that Dew has isolated players and other coaches.
Devastating that it didn’t work, as I’ve been a massive Dew...
I’m referring to a few years ago, maybe the year or two years after he finished up. But agreed that it can’t be that fractured if he’s showing up to suns events
Most interest I’ve had in the allies of any season because of our academy kids. As much as I want them to fall in the draft order, would absolutely love to see them tear it up on the big stage.
Allies by 16 and Walter to kick 3+
Pretty sure I heard he was expecting to get a very high salary for a pretty low paying job straight out of playing for us, which added a lot to the bitterness towards the suns.
For a 202cm bloke that’s built like a twig, it’s pretty impressive that he’s in our best 22 as it is. I didn’t think he’d crack it into the team until his 3rd/4th year.
Made one big mistake in the off season, which has probably led to him getting dropped after a not so big mistake.
But maybe...
Adelaide match up pretty evenly as a clearance and contested possession team. So if they’re without their best clearance and contested player, we should hopefully win in those areas.
Now we just need to stick someone on Dawson and not let him move an inch.
I would love this if Tiges paid a large chunk.
He’s actually played some good footy this year and he’s only there to take some attention off our young stars and to stand up when the games on the line, which we typically haven’t had players who could.
Back to back coming up, Crows have only had 1 away game win this year and that was against the Hawks by 3 points.
The only thing I want more than a win, would be the Bear to give Rankine a massive hip and shoulder
I hope they give Humphrey a 10 year contract extension, kid is a genuine star in the making.
Rowelly obviously enjoys the grass at TIO, he is a bull.
Those umpires should have their sportbet accounts audited after this game
I’m optimistic for this game. While I think the dogs have played some very good footy this year, they’ve also played a lot of teams at the right time (e.g. their last month, Adelaide in Ballarat with out their best player in walker, Carlton in terrible form, Giants without their two best players...
Yeah that’s a good point, but I don’t think we’ll ever have all four on the ground.
I think it’s more likely it’ll be Payne, Andrew and Lester vs our four talls. And although Andrew and Payne play close to 100% tog, Lester won’t, so there will be a lot of situations where we’ll have a 195cm+...
Not big on Day coming in, especially considering how short their backline is. But I feel like this is the right game to bring Ace and Andrew in.
Eagles are putting out one of the worst backlines to play AFL, other than Barrass. This should be a 40+ point win. Knowing the suns, we’ll win by 14...
WC team they put out against the tigers was awful. Oscar Allen is the only thing they have going for them.
I reckon two changes:
Casboult managed (long flight on 6 day break) for Ainsworth if fit or Sexton. This is the type of game Secco lives for
Long out for Weller if fit or Farrar
Heard...
That’s a shocking team the saints have on paper. They only have one or two lines which is better than ours, but geez they’re playing good footy with what they have.
Yeah it is too early in the season making big calls, I think expectations were that we would finally make some noticeable on field progress but seem to have taken a step back.
We were also 2-5 to start last season and made a strong run for finals before losing our backline.
So I guess it’s...
There’s a long list of journos who said King was a certainty to leave before he re-signed the last two contracts. so unless he’s unsigned in the second half of next year, I’m not giving it much thought, because if we had won on the weekend this wouldn’t even be a talking point
I agree that there’s a bit of desperation here.
In the 5 years Dew has been coaching, I don’t think a player has every been rushed back without playing some decent VFL minutes before hand. But last week Weller and this week Powell
Cameron, Stewart and Stanley all named but I wouldn’t be surprised one one or two don’t play.
Bowes has been named as the starting centre, which is interesting
I don’t expect us to win on the weekend, but I hope we just show up.
On reflection against the Dons we played some very competitive football and should have been up by 4 goals at 3qtr time if we made the most of the third quarter dominance, we kicked 4.6 to their 4.0 ffs. Not to mention we let...
