Ok I have a draft proposal and I know it may sound stupid.

In "real" terms I propose we do nothing.

Keep picks 1, 17, 19 & 35

Anything else is minor trading IMHO

a/ Robert Warnock - we cant out bid Vizy industries lets move on.

b/ Brett Prismal - only if the price is right, cheap & I mean cheap.

Lets only target players that are 110% committed to playing for us, rain hail or shine.

Lets not target players just because they are "on the table".

We are a club that should offer "opportunities" and be prepared to respect our list.

Just a thought.

Would you care to explain your last sentence? What "opportunities" do you have in mind?

Sometimes its not all about the football ability. First we must seek to build a culture. We must seek players who are willing to be part of that culture. I would rather give a young kid a crack at AFL football than chase "re-cycled players" unless that re-cycled player is exclusively committed to us.

Sometimes we can get carried away with making change for change sake, I just get the feeling this is not the year.

Passion is very important on match days. However, lets not let it get in the way of clear thinking on non-match days.

I like what you're saying.. i'd prefer to get players from other clubs in a few years when we are the 'up & coming club' that is seen as a desirable destination, rather than try our guts out now and get the scraps that can't get to their destination of choice.

Its going to take plenty of time to rebuild, lets do it right

You beauty.

Now we all must learn ....

1/ Respect is an emotion you must earn.

2/ Patience is a virtue.

3/ Karma is a wonderful thing.

4/ Before you say something stupid remember who is on YOUR side.

5/ Never eat your own.

    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)
