Listening to the Melbourne coach. They will come out fired up so as usual we'll get a team who will be on.
I'd only listen to Goodwin if i was struggling to get to sleep.

Yep. They can't use weather as an excuse for that pitiful performance.It was 18 degrees and low humidity. Regardless, the Dees fcukin stink.
He looked like he was going to cry.Gary Lyon making a desperate plea for his beloved Melbourne on On the Couch, I feel like I've seen this movie before.
What the hell happened there?It fills me with confidence that freo beat them by just about 100. We could do the same thing if we play at our best.
After winning the GF, definitely would not have predicted that the KB game would be between 9th & 10th this year
Would love to see Krueger come in, get a few good games under his belt, and hopefully people will stop making jokes about his being injury prone. I mean, I get it, his history isn't great, but does everyone need to make the same joke? Get some original material.
Might get some older heads back too, which will really be beneficial. I kind of feel like all our leaders are in defence rn, and it may have played a part in our system shutting down in the last quarter against the doggies.
Dees had a shocker, but we also have a point to prove with two disappointing results in a row. Need to get out kicking boots on, as teams that can kick a big score against Melbourne generally win, as the dees don't have much up forward.
I have no doubt Melb will see how poor we were in clearances in the last QTR fade out against WB.
So we’ll definitely need some reinforcements to ensure a 4 QTR effort at stoppage.
We do not exactly run out game well atm.

That wouldn't be hardLoved Bucks ripping into the Dees players about not looking fit. Lyon was trying to bait him further but Bucks is too smart for him.
I don't disagree that he hasn't been great - but I think the persistence will be there for Dean. With Murphy gone and Howe getting older, we are extremely thin on KPD's, and with Dean only being 4 games into his career, at this stage I think coaching committee will back him in to improve.
Id like to see Maynard as our 4th quarter specialist in the midfieldBest not to have a closed mind or you miss out on moves like Hayden Young or Ed Richards to midfield from defence
We cannot play the same midfield again on Monday - or we will see the same last quarter fade out due to a reliance on too few
Thats fair, I can see an investment in the future in Dean, although I dont find his profile of skills and strengths particularly compelling, he could become serviceable.
No doubt AJ is in horrific form, and is not deserving of an AFL game above any one else. But no-one doubts he has some high level traits.
Anyway Dean has looked awful at times. If I picked a team for next week Id prefer Howe, Moore and and Frampton as our tall backs, and I'm not nearly as fussed about who our tall forwards are, given the limited choices.
I agree. I'd definitely keep Charlie in this week. I don't get the criticism of him from the Doggies game.I think many posters are being super harsh on Chaz Dean. The young lad misses the better part of 2 years of Footy which is tough for any player. Gets thrown to the wolves early in the year when we were a rabble. Has shown growth in his game upon his return but people are expecting him to be something he's not right now. There's definitely scope for a lot of improvement to come. It wouldn't shock me at all if Howe goes forward and Frammers back, to allow us to keep Dean in the side in the short term.
Thinking that McInnes and Kreuger come into the forward line, Frampton down back. Dean selected as Sub, so when he comes on, we have alot of possiblities: Howe to forward line, or Frampton straight into a full second ruck role, or Dean as the next tall to replace an injured Kreuger!!I agree. I'd definitely keep Charlie in this week. I don't get the criticism of him from the Doggies game.
Big Bill will be needed to help out in ruck this week, so Dean will definitely be needed down back during those times. And as you say, it gives us the flexibility to move Howe forward if needed.
Particularly if Freddy comes in & we need extra insurance in case he doesn't make it through the game.
Agree that both Reef & Freddy are needed in the forward line.Thinking that McInnes and Kreuger come into the forward line, Frampton down back. Dean selected as Sub, so when he comes on, we have alot of possiblities: Howe to forward line, or Frampton straight into a full second ruck role, or Dean as the next tall to replace an injured Kreuger!!
Not criticising Dean's game against the Dogs, just think that we should definitely bring McInnes in (assuming he is availabele), WHE in, and Kreuger as a tall in F50 to accompany McInnes. I think Dean would be a much better choice for sub than Parker because of the flexibility it would give.
Slam him Freddy. Hard.Kreuger on May - popcorn time
Only Melbourne player to kick multiple goals against us in the final last year, he’s good enough that he demands a good opponent and that they are accountable for him at all times.
