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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
