If E25 is filling the void left by YM and the F-word then I am all for him.

He can be a d!ck, but YM was pointless to read for the monotonous regularity of MFC-love and delusion, and the other one hasn't had a decent idea or notion or argument on this place.

But that's just me.

And, according to some on here, I am in collusion with E...

I can't be trusted at all...

I don't think one game decides a future.

At Least YM made the Newspaper a couple of seasons ago...I am still waiting for a WYL comment to be immortalized in Print!! B)

There must be a few dud journalists who decipher what we write!

I'd watch the way they print your use of capitals!

I think Richmond have targetted Miller as a fantastic leader who will train his heart out to get the most out of his ability. If others on their list can mimic these attributes, the Richmond FD will be quite happy IMO.

We mustn't forget that, despite his limitations as a player, he was voted into our leadership group as recently as this season.

That, and the fact they have a lack of mature forwards, is what Richmond have talked about.

As for the Miller clip, there's a good argument to be made that Miller should have been proactive, but it was another example of Watts looking like he doesn't have much in the way of game smarts (something I'm surprised by, and something that concerns me the most about him).

I think the opposite.

I think Watts read the situation perfectly and drew the defender to release Miller, but Miller didn't know what to do & tried to put in a half-hearted shepherd, hanging Watts out to dry.

Ideally, Watts draws the defender, absorbs him leaving Miller open with the footy to find a decent target upfield.

I don't remember the moment and the clip vision isn't 'wide' enough for me to see what else is going on, but what is clear is that even if that was Watts' plan, it was clear it wasn't happening well before he kept running straight into the arms of a Collingwood lover tackler.

It's also not the only time he's been caught after hanging onto the footy for quite a while, unable to choose (?) an option.

Nah, I'm talking about that one play and the blame does not belong with Watts in the slightest.

Miller made an absolute meal of it.

Heh.

I have no problem with the vison and awareness of Jack Watts.

(I now rock back arrogantly in my chair.)

Seriously, there are issues but vision isn't one of them.

I think the scrutiny is a direct result of the amount of crap I post.

And someone needs to fill the void left by YM and Freak since they don't pop up much anymore.

Im doing my bit :)

    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.

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)
