I agree with stuie - the cost would be low but so too would the probability of success. Aussie has proven unequivocally that he doesn't have the stomach for the workload required to play AFL nor the inclination to live in Melbourne. I loved Aussie and I hoped he'd make it, but this would be a complete waste of time and money.

Agree. He is apparently so out of condition, it would take 3 preseasons to get him half fit.

I'd love Aussie back. Knows how to kick a sausage and brings genuine excitement to the crowd and his teammates. The small forward position is screaming out for a fit Aussie.

Lol. 3 pre seasons! Any one remember Stewie Dew? He was a candidate for Jenny Craig & look at where that ended.

Dew was happy to stay with his club and train hard. Prepared to give his all for the cause. Aussie just wanted to go home and catch turtles with his mates.

Is that what he wanted to do? Ohhh ok. Didn't have anything to do with his father passing away & him fulfilling his family/tribal obligations during a period of mourning?

You will recall we stood by him during this period. Is he currently playing, I believe not. I loved the little guy, but he lacked the necessary dedication to make it in Melbourne.

Yeh we stood by him & he chose to go back to his community which was entirely his call to make & one only someone in that situation could understand. I don't have the slightest idea if he's playing currently. Don't really care if he has what it takes to make a return. To say it would take 3 pre seasons to get upto fitness if he wanted to make a return is ridiculous.

Every player we draft is a gamble, Aussie has his pro's and con's like all.

I'd risk a late pick (50+) if he demonstrated his hunger prior to draft (i.e. major fitness bootcamp)...

Nup, it could be as a rookie, or not at all.

He doesn't deserve another Big payday, until he's proven his desire & work ethic.

After watching the robbo show he will not play again for the dees...enjoys his food too much. not a criticism but the world is full of unfullfilled potential, massive disapointment though as he is definately someone we could use.

ah welll, bring on ben kennedy

When did he say that. I thought he said he was playing competitive football again.

he also mentions that he used to 'hate' having to watch what his weight and skin folds and then goes on to explain that when he got back home the first thing he did was eat 2 whole magpie geese by himself

Forget it! I know a couple of guys at NT Thunder. Wona's considered a great guy and a great player at that level BUT he is also considered, shall we say, spasmodic in his approach to training. Not a chance to produce the work required at the top level.

Not sure on Wonna. Loved the theatrics. Was never fit enough for Bailey's game plan. He is a mile off Neeld's demands. He'll need at least 2 pre seasons to get in shape. He is coming from a long way back. No harm in trying again. I reckon he will struggle for a rookie spot...anywhere

Agree- his mindset is the issue..

2 magpie geese wouldn't put weight on a worm.

    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)

    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
