Great story matt keep up the good work mate. Love this sort of stuff which show's that the club wants it's members to feel apart of it all and reall gives us an idea how thing's are done at AAMI park cant wait for all the hard work to pay off one day. I dream about this club at the M.C.G holding that cup up to all the loyal demon members. My wife know's i will not be home for a good 2 weeks when that day comes. God i love the MFC the red and blue at the M.C.G nothing better.

Possible Adelaide player who recently retired?

Myke Cook, I'd have thought.

Good read, well done Matt and with such discretion...but wouldn't we all like to be a fly on the wall in those meetings and know who and what was being discussed.

Our internal media work, providing snippets like this to supporters, has come on in leaps and bounds. Well done MFC.

It's a revealing piece.

He doesn't have a responsibility but to make sure those who are responsible are informed, confident, and challenged.

Which can often be the most important responsibility of all........

Part II was a lot more insightful than Part I I reckon. It sounds as if Craig plays a part in literally every thing - I like the analogy of being the godfather in Part I. I also found it interesting that assistant coaches and the players also seek him out for advice - that wouldn't have occurred to me before. There's a lot of benefit to having a former senior coach, who is somewhat at arms length being around to bounce things off and get feedback.

But because Walls doesn't hear Craig speak at our pressers or whatever - he must think he doesn't speak to the players.

Journalism is dead, if footy journalism ever lived...

Probably more of a Zombie-fication.

should we email this to Robert Walls...Parts 1 & 2??

Neil Craig would be laughing his head off today at what that chip wrapper article said..

How 'bout a quick phone call Wallsy...YOU could have written what Matty wrote...but you took the easy option.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
