best call Ive seen on these forums for a while. He is about the only player that feels like he has to put in a proper effort every game he plays.

Nathan Jones, Clint Bartram, Jack Grimes, James Frawley, Rohan Bail, Jordie McKenzie will be happy to hear that.

Out of that list I stand corrected on Nat Jones and if maybe McKenzie. Bartram and Bail are just list cloggers for mine. Grimesy spends more time injured than playing.

You used the word effort....so you stand to be corrected again.

NB I think you have got it wrong on Bail

Mitch has won me over so much quicker than I could have imagined. I would think it would be similar with his teammates.

Can only wonder how tall the players would stand having him as captain rather than two blokes who, despite being passionate dees and undoubtedly future club champions, just don't seem ready for captaincy yet.

I think we were all excited by the captaincy announcement and boasted about having the youngest ever captain, but pretty safe to say it's backfired so far, with our onfield leadership seeming confused, our older players disillusioned, and our new captains struggling with form compared to previous years.

I guess hindsight is an expert, but gee I'd love Mitch to be captain right now, reckon he'd be the type to relish it rather than be weighed down by responsibility.

How often do you want to change captains? I'm not thrilled about Grimgove and would rather let them play rather than burdening them with captaincy, but they've got the job so let them get on with it.

Exactly, seemed fairly obvious they were too young and inexperienced but that's the decision that was made. It's done and I support it.

It's in the best interests of all involved that the captaincy gets left with these guys and they get given the full chance of adjusting to the role.

    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. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
