Just heard on ABC radio that TJ & J Sherman have been dropped from this weeks squad.

Apparently they didn't turn up to training yesterday..... :rolleyes:

I think Jack Grimes has a much better work ethic. Hopefully he will come good with his injuries and have a long and distinguished career with the MFC.

Thoughts ?

Both "didn't train", not "didn't turn up to training".

Both are injured. TJ was kicking on his non-preferred against the Dogs because of a hamstring injury.

Travis is gone.

Why would you think Grimes has a better work ethic. Travis has been a proven B to A grader a times. Grimes is a 1st year playter without a single statistic to his name.

The curse of MFC has been to over inflate values of players. Lets not load him up early.

I heard it on ABC radio Brisbane 4pm.

Said they were dropped because they did not turn up to training.

Maybe they worded it wrong ? :wacko:

I was only informing what I had heard.

A hack??

Carved up by dunn?

I wouldn't go that far. I'm sure you loved how he played as we all did when he was with us.

It's just his attitude that was the problem.

Whats that saying.... is it 90% of the game is played above the shoulders. He is soft as butter and weak minded. He could have been one of the greats.

Work ethic has nothing to do with statistics.

Trav was one of my favourites at the club but he was lazy at times.......

There has been mention elsewhere of Grimes great attitude and work ethic.

I am by no means putting pressure on Grimes by saying that hopefully he gets over his injuries and has a long career with the MFC.

On the basis of what? Hasn't kicked a ball in anger.

Get a grip, FFS! :angry:

Mono.... it pays to read the whole thread before getting :angry:

Read my post at 6.27pm above that says - There has been mention elsewhere of Grimes great attitude and work ethic.

Now.. for the simple people that jump to conclusions :rolleyes: I am talking about attitude and work ethic both of which have to be applied off the field to present it on the field.

As I said earlier TJ was one of my favourites but he was, on occasion, lazy and his attitude and work ethic was questionable both off and on the field.

What I was referring to predominantly was a hope that Grimes (who comes in at the expense of TJ) injuries come good and he has a long career with the Mighty MFC.

We won't know whether the gamble has payed off or not for some time yet. The kid has plenty of time up his sleeve, after all he is not turning 28 this year is he ? ;)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
