News of the year!

With GWS having 2 years at uncontracted players that means everyone whose contract expires prior to and including the end of 2012 is available - that's EVERYONE on our list except Davey and now Frawley.

It would be a major achievement to not lose a player in this process, but some are more important than others and Chip is in my highest group.

Sorry? TWO years at uncontracted players??!

Where did you hear this? That's not correct...

They get to choose ONE uncontracted player from 2 years. Not one from each. Basically it just means you have to sign your better players over the period of time the 2 new clubs will have the chance to recruit them. GC this year (I believe they only get the one year) and GWS the two years following that. Meaning Frawley's out of the woods.

Gee you wouldn't want to be a footy manager/list manager would you?

^That is my understanding.

Yeah I think this is right. But Jon Ralph's article in the HUN today brings about some confusion I think:

But the 21-year-old's contract takes him out of the three-year window which allows Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney to sign uncontracted players.

I think Dappa's summation adds up to that "3 year window"

1 (GC) + 2 (GWS) = 3.

The fire hasn't started......it's well and truly burining now!

Nah, we're just stoking it for now, letting it grow and develop to its own accord.

We'll add the fuel soon enough...then we'll sit back and enjoy the fireworks !

DB and the FD have only just started moulding. Couple more ingredients still to add.

Just remember, there will still be a few hurdles and steep learning curves to come to. But we'll enjoy seeing them tackle it.

Can anyone explain why our best defender didn't line up on either of West Coasts most dangerous forwards(Kennedy/LaCras)at the start of the game yesterday?

because that would of made sense.

I don't think Frawley was actually given a match up until about half way through the third quarter after La Cras had had about his 6th shot on goal. A light bulb must have gone off in the coaches box, "[censored], we may have to get Frawley on this guy!". Unfortunatley, the horse had bolted.

i suppose the coaching staff could throw it back to it being a development year and finding players limitations. i would of thought warnock on kennedy and chip on lecras from the start, but did you see lecras burn chip on the lead in the second half, the boys got some pace.

And they hit him lace out on the chest every time he led.

yeah not enough midfield pressure from us, block up their midfield and the inside forward 50 marks would have been cut in half.

    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 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)
