Gee. Has his limitations, but thought he was one of the Weagles better performers in the second half of the season. Bit rough on him.

Just goes to show that winning a flag doesn't necessarily make you an elite player. Armstrong was one of a few plodders on the WCE list found out this year once the cream had been scooped off the top.

Armstrong performed admirably against us a couple of weeks back. Would of thought it would be enough to earn him another year but I guess WCE are going with a youth policy.

I'm glad we got rid of Armstrong when we did. Never had it in him to be anything more than a decent player.

Did anyone else see the interview with that Dalziell bloke crediting Woewodin with helping him get to AFL?

No but they both played for East Fremantle, Right?

Whats this got to do with Steven Armstrongs delisting? :lol:

Unlucky given his second half of the season. He was one of their best.

Yeah, I would have thought there were worse players on their list than Armstrong. Oh well. At least he has a premiership medallion.

Are you serious?? With Maric, Wonaeamirri with a season under their belt. Armstrong has been around 7 years. He is not going to improve...

He's kidding.

He forgot to say that we would get back Shannon Motlop at the same time and give MFC real premiership experience in 2009. :rolleyes:

I guess I know nothing at all about football, cause I thought he was doing ok over there.

Maybe Suzanna, he doesn't tell lies. That would put him diametrically opposed to the coach. Please don't tell Demonlander 'swampfox' I said that.

no way. anyone delisted from a bottom 4 side..isn't worth getitng picked by a club in the same bottom 4

I don't know - Shane Wakelin was de-listed from St Kilda (dead last) in 2000 and drafted by Collingwood (2nd last) in the National Draft at the end of that year.

Would be pretty harsh (and unfair imo) to say he hasn't been a very good player over the last 8 years.

Spot on Nasher. Which is why it annoys the crap out of me when posters make statements like "He'll never be a premiership player" or "How many Melbourne players would get a game at so and so?". It's the elite players that make premiership teams, and any player is capable of playing in one if they can play a role in support of the champions.

    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.

    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
