I'll just watch if that's all right-for god sake dont injure them.

You just outed yourself Chauncy Gardener? ;-)

Well if the reports are to be believed, we offered a large contract to MacKay from the Crows.

One certainly from left field, but must fit the profile they're looking for

Didn't I read somewhere on here yesterday that MacKay has just re-signed with the Crows?

As Leigh Matthews said...Mitch Clark was just an ordinary footballer...Took moving to melbourne to make him a champion...

lol. Lets hope we can entice more Champions !!

Yes that's correct, I'm just saying that he was a bit of a left field suggestion, so clearly they have a type of player in mind

Thanks for posting the clip, 3183.

I like the maturity of mind that Mitch has. He's sure of himself, modest and driven to achieve.

Liked that he talked about how having a child at the age of 20 taught him to grow up and put himself number 2, gave him a strong reason to succeed.

Perhaps a lot of others on our list should also procreate, if this is the result. In which case, stay away from The Song Formally Known As.

It is funny though, how someone with undoubted talent can just warm to his new role and life, have a bit of confidence (probably talked up by Neeld and co.) and just be the force he has been.

From the 10th best player at the Lions to numero uno (with apologies to Jones) at the Dees.

I think what happens here is someone like Clark sees a kindred spirit in Neeld. add 1 + 1 and you get 3's value i.e the knock of synergy.

this is what we need to get across the raft of players coming in ( and build in those there) . All pulling in the same direction

Mitch Clark was one of the most talented u-18 players in his year. Dominated WA juniors and against other state sides. Has dominated in his short time at Melbourne. What does that say about his intermission in Brisbane??

Disappointed we didn't get McKay. He's an excellent player and exactly the type of attacking mid that we need. Still, it suggests to me that they have the right type of player identified and will be bold in chasing them. Good stuff.

I'll reiterate that I won't judge Neeld until he has had sufficient time to build the team he wants (rather than the one he inherited). The discarding of Maloney says a lot about his ruthless vision.

That highlight reel - jeez he's great to watch when he hits a pack. If that doesn't inspire your team mates & show them an example of how you commit to a contest, I don't know what would.

Credit to Fatboy McChins too - that was a good interview

    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.

    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
