Is your dad also familiar with the expression, "don't judge a book by its cover"?

Dean Bailey was great on that show tonight, i like him a lot.

Get some wins on the board this year Dean, you deserve a good crack with this list.

We must be up for the Wet Coke game.

Really...if that's all it takes to coach a side we should see if Clint Eastwood is available?

You must admit though Clint Eastwood would be a magnificent coach...nobody would defy Clint!!

We would be better with Chuck Norris tho.

Line Ball i say...during "The Good The Bad & The Ugly" when Clint puts on that poncho you just know he means absolute business!!! :lol:

Oh, a thousand yard stare. Wellman had one, but he's just an assistant.

Eade has one, but he's not a premiership coach, and he's mellowed.

A stare is not all there,, :blink:,, is to coaching.

To everyone criticising his nice guy persona, Bomber Thompson didn't have a stare down, and was normally very calm and laid back. To say you need to be a hard arse these day to win football is an utter joke.

Is anyone going to write what was said?

Haha good point.

Paraphrasing here because was cooking at the time-

Asked about why Watts was sub instead of whole game- Watts was seen as the most out of form forward/it was a form thing- didn't elaborate too much on it, think he was seen as the 22nd best at the time, which contradicts the theory that a sub should be a horses for courses scenario- not your 22nd player.

Some footage was shown of Chippa with Prince William and was asked if he'd take William over Watts, some banter ensued and it was revealed William was unwilling to put on one of our jumpers (the pompous [censored]) also that Watts was stronger and a better kick than William, Watts has put on a fair bit of weight since being at the MFC etc

Asked about Carro's article and if he took anything from the lack of praise on the coaching department. Didn't see anything wrong with it and spoke to Schwabby about it.. didn't hear too much about this as was pre-occupied- sorry.

Shown footage of a rather enamoured Davey with his arm around Bails in a quarter time huddle. Funny stuff. Standard Before the Game fare.

I suspect this would come under the same heading as voting and things like that. He isn't allowed to show favouritism to one group publicly.

He mentioned that they choose the sub based on form. He and they are wrong.

    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)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
