Get him back in the fold. If he wants to get in to cosching it should be at Melbourne!

We are sorry James!!! Great career, if it was up to the supporters then we would have kept you. Come home, dont worry about dean, hes gone now

Congratulations to Junior on a fantastic career (although the last 13 games were forgettable).

The sad part is WJ they should have been forgettable at the MFC

Hmm I still like Junior more than anyone on our list . . . Well done Junior, great career.

In my opinion we retired him at the right time. This article is 2 years past its due date, and as we saw in his last game (sniping young kids), he was well past it.

If we want him as a midfield coach or something, I'd prefer Ling or Kirk (although Kirk has gone to Freo? I'm sure we gave him a call before them?). These blokes have tasted success and ensured a culture remained strong at their clubs. While Junior was a good leader, I'm not sure if he had that ability.

I now prepare for the public flogging that will follow...

Staying at GWS as a full time assistant too.

With Junior staying there and Malthouse going to Carlton, that cuts down my Royal replacement list to either Lovett or Ling.

Accurate assessment Billy. No flogging here, besides my cat has lost it's nine tails :)

I hope he had a nice paid holiday in Western Sydney. Suspensions in his first and last games pretty much sum up to me where he is at as a footballer.

Overstayed his welcome at Melbourne by 12 months and certainly would not have helped us one iota in the past two years.

No denying his career until 2009 was first rate though, and he would be welcome as an assistant coach at any time.

Moronic post. No point explaining why.

What about Lloyd? I think he'd be good, but I know he has his critics.

Only time he ventured in to the centre square was to iron out Sewell, so I'm not sure what he'd know about being a midfield coach...

I think you may find that Ratten is available, who as I recall had a pretty good midfield going when he was with us before (dementia prevents me from remembering exactly when, and who was his midfield).

But I also agree that Cam Ling, or possibly Lovett would fill the bill admirably should they be winning and available.

Yes...Lloyd as a midfield coach??....would like to see that (not)!

Need to really push hard for Ling "Billy", no flogging here.

Yup, I'd be happy with Ratts too.

Scotty Thompson and a young Sylvia next to Brock Mclean...who looked the goods at that stage.

That was about he time Flash was inventing defensive forward pressure and looked like he could be anything at all.Its difficult to understand how they stuffed that lot up so comprehensively isnt it/

Scotty Thompson was there until injured in Round 16. Ably supported by McDonald, Yze, Brown, Bruce, Green, TJ and an ex Don gun in Heffernan, :unsure:

But Col and Brock really werent. Col had 3 games for a total of 10 disposals, Brock 9 games for 54 disposals.

There was of course Jeff White as AA ruckman in 2004.

A midfield coach looks good if he has the cattle.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
