C'mon Barry P. and co, get on the blower to the managers of these top 10 GWS picks - nearly all of whom were from Victoria - and let them know we're interested in all of them.

Might be hot air, might not be. At the very least it'll sow some seeds of doubt in the minds of these kids and get them thinking that there are better prospects for them elsewhere at the end of their first contract. Who knows who we might shake from the tree after the disenchantment of two years worth of thrashings.

GW$ is now fair game on every front.

I reckon its a great idea to be in these guys ears, the amount of mids GWS have got is crazy, they surely cant fit them all in, and im sure a few will be after more opportunity and want to come home! have a look at this list !! they cant play them all

its payback time in a couple of years!!

I like the idea. But is it allowed? Can a person employed by or working on behalf of a club talk to another club's players at any time? (I know there was a 'window' for GWS in November 2010 to do something...was that discuss or actually offer contracts?)

We will be.

And so will every other club.

In fact they might be in danger at the end of 2012 as they will have OOC players...

I think we will pick up ex Dee James McDonald as an assistant or development coach.

You don't honestly think Gomez and his puppets will allow anyone to touch his brain snap do you?

Angry Anderson will change the rules to suit GWS, mark my words.

GWS will not be touched for years.

I think GWS have made a huge mistake with their recruiting.

They're going to get thrashed!

And in order to keep the team together they're going to need great leadership. Where is that going to come from?

GC at least recruited seasoned players that not only would make them more competitive but gave them leadership.

GWS players may be scrambling to get out of there in a few years time. They may just fall into our lap. Or here's hoping anyway.

That's all well and good, but then we're gonna possibly have our own problems with the cap in a few years time when our kids develop more. Throw in Viney plus another 2 quality kids from next years' draft (better talent compared to the one just passed) and we're gonna have to be careful with our own backyard before we start poaching.

If it came down to raiding another clubs kids or keeping our own (hopefully all of Viney + 2x compo pick players become great MFC players), i'd take the latter, as they would have come from a stronger draft.

Let other clubs tear GWS and to a certain extent GC a new one, whilst we just sit back and enjoy it all, keeping all our talent and cap in tact.

Welcome back RR, nice to see you revving up agagin :) Think you're dead on there, and I'd like to think that the club are onto it, if not now soon. Would be the greatest pleasure to see us strip some of their gifted talent!

Thank you. It's good to be back!

Whether it's us or any other club, I just hope that every effort is made to destabilize the GW$ playing list.

If our club were fair dinkum, this would already have been done a few months ago by our recruiters.

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    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.
