Calf injuries are generally a sign that the end is very near...

I would prefer our culture not be so corrosive to talent. Sewell, Enright, Chapman - yes they are a sort term solution but we need help to fix a culture of ease and laziness and they will help. Mor

Chapman has been a battering ram and is getting slower and slower. I love the guy's character, but he's one calf injury away from not playing again.. And I disagree with you on more kids not being t

Chappy may look past it at the cats, but he is quality and would be in the top 5-10 players at our club easy, regadless of if he was a better player 2 years ago I'd love to see him in our team

The Geelong Culture is strong due to a good deal with the AFL over their round as much as it is their excellence on field .

We cant replicate their off-field bonus every home game but we can try to emulate their belief and attitude in big games .

Buying some of their retirees as on field player-coahes is a low percentage move in my opinion.

Just get them in as mid-field coach as soon as possible .

True.

The calf is often regarded as an "old man's injury".

and we signed Jamar to a 3-yr deal.

Chapman as a free agent, at $300-$350k over 2yrs is a good option. He showed agst the Hawks that he has the toughness, skills and ability to be at top of the game. We missed him in 1999 draft.

Culture, and inspiring to the young group. Can you imagine Chappy leading Viney, Jonesy, Jordie Mck etc into battle

Absolutely can. I think he'd help Jonesy's game to a higher level. Would be exciting for the young uns coming our way. And as has been suggested, entice Ling too as midfield coach.

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    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)

    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
