Yeah, he's got a bit to go though.

He's more like 'Jill' than 'Jack', ATMO.

Why is it that I have a problem with articles from this source? A fairy floss fluff piece is about what I expect from SportsNewsFirst whose reputation precedes it.

I prefer to see players playing great football during the season to being informed how they're training the house down in December. Every AFL club has players doing that at this time of year.

Gee, if the only 'Jills' you know have that much facial hair ...

Interesting the quote from Brown that Jack is a KPP especially as there has been speculation here and elsewhere that he may be used as a winger.

But as the previous poster has suggested, training the house down in preseason doesn't always translate into season success: that said however a bulked up, fit and fired up JW is still an exciting thought.

HaHaHa, Lets just say he's proven nothin' yet & has a Looong Ways to go before he's playing real AFL footy level.

It was nice to see his 'have a go' attitude which turned up after about Rnd 5, or 6ish... but that only showed us he wants to try.

Noe it's time for him to start morphing into manhood.

Like Daisy Williams (Thomas) did last Year.

Master Watts can do it as well, eventually. It may as well be this summer. He can take a Leaf from Trenners book. Theres a start for him.

Re the Facial Hair, I was born with more Bum fluff that he has on his upper lip.

And my Granny has more stubble. B)

Brown has a hard job next year IMO.

He obviously needs to implement a structure that accommodates Clark, Watts, Jurrah with Martin and possibly Jamar rotating through, but he has no obvious small forward (perhaps Davey) and a lot of mid size target type forwards to also use in an effective way: Howe, Petterd, Green etc.

In short, it seems to me that he has a lot of potential targets, though no crumbers.

Just saw the thread about Davey. Perhaps he will be the small forward Brown needs. Is he training with the forward group?

Also, anyone able to give an update on how Lawrence is coming on? Could he play an effective role in a big forward line at AFL level in 2012?

Reckon you've got the wrong bloke. Daisy Williams morphed into manhood over 30 years ago.

Your Right,,, Williams was a great little player. I thought up the wrong name.

Daisy Thomas...of course.

Who were Collingwoods small forwards last year?

Geelong's?

This idea that you need a specific crumber is misguided.

You need all players working to apply defensive pressure to cause turnover and in turn scoring opportunities.

Every player can be a crumber.

    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.

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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    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
