You mean they didn't go to Sydney to sign with GWS?

Oh.

    I'm wondering how the group was put together

    Jordie and Jurrah would have to be a bit stiff not to get a guernsey? Done a bit more than Watts has at this stage? The older blokes not interested in a possible career in the media?

    Looks like a good initiative though, anything we can do to go anywhere near matching what the big clubs can offer our boys. Fingers crossed.

    • D The players most likely to get poached by other clubs in the coming years, thus we are trying to show them that we can offer them more than just money

    The most probable answer I think is that these were the blokes who put their hands up.

    What's more likely is that they are more tv friendly than anyone else at the club, regardless of their achievements, age or stature.

    It's a combination of looks, talent, age and prominence/celebrity.

    Notice how there is a considerable gap between how they're all standing together between Tom Scully and the others? I read this as a sign he's not thought of as part of the group, and is itching to get out of the studio and to his 3PM appointment out at the Rooty Hill RSL.

    You're right.................he's gone!

    hell of a coincidence they happen to be our four top4 draft picks plus two first rounders who have come on strongly

    rookie listers not welcome?

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but this was a trip organised by vice president Guy Jalland, an executive at Consolidated Press Holdings (packer empire, channel 10 part owner).

    I am pretty sure this was an exercise in showing off to some of our key youngsters our friends in high places.

    Oh.

    It's all a smoke screen I reckon!!

    This is great by the club, to keep all these guys over the next 10 years, they need to increase their earning potential from outside the club. The best way is to appear in the media, get a regular spot on a footy show, a column in a paper or get on the TV coverage of other games.

  • Quote

    Yeah i think that we all understand what this exercise entails, i think that it is great that the board ect are finally starting to use many of their industry contacts to the clubs advantage, and flaunting it also, is a good look for the club.

    Does 'A' refer to GWS' future leadership group?

    On a serious note, probably not top 6 / future leadership group, but you'd hope at least a few of them would be.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
