Junior has just joined GWS in a role as player mentor.

    It's only a very minor role.

    He is mentoring the 3 Victorian pre-selected GWS players that are choosing to stay in Victoria for their schooling before moving to NSW next year.

    He's not an assistant coach and there is no mention of him taking on a greater role in 2012, although that may eventually be the case.

    Maybe he can talk Tom Scully into staying away from GWS after spending a year involved!!

    Tomorrow's news: RUMOUR- Sheedy offers James McDonald 15 million a year to come out of retirement and captain GWS!

    Post it on Bigfooty and read about it in the HS tomorrow.

    Good on Jnr getting the gig.

    Could not think of a better character for a new club. Congrats to JNR and I hope they take good care of him. I can see JNR moving into the asst coaching ranks in the near future.

    This.

    I'm glad Junior hasn't been lost to the AFL in general. Surely they'll be looking at him as a specialist tackling coach? I know I would be.

    I might be reading way to much in to this, But could there be any chance that it is a bit of a lure tactic to help secure cully? I know McDonalds role at the moment is small but GWS could see it as a chance to improve their chances of signing Scully, who im sure looked up to and respected McDonald. I was thinking it is slightly similar to the Nathan Ablett scenario at GC, but yes is quite different.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
