Old..Ive long suspected that once we got the sniff that all was not quite kosher with the over-hyped one that MFC played a little game. It could have ended like the Puppies..or it could end how it did, with much greater reward.

Weve all been over the rest countless times. Yes we are much relieved to have him gone. Im not so sure the rest wasnt without some orchestration ;)

I have had similar thoughts. Once they put $600,000 a year on him which was outbid the AFL was between a rock and a hard place in terms of compensation. Smelt like the MFC knew he was gone and plan was to maximise. I too am very glad he is gone.

I have a feeling old55 that they actually did us a favour.

If we had kept him we would not have been able to get Clark.

The situation is really only half a season old but Clark gave us way more for half a year than Scully gave us in two years and GWS in a whole season.

The $cully situation also forced us to look at our whole recruiting structure and set up. It's a big win for us how its turned out,

I dont agree with much that you do say - but you are on the money with this one. All kudos must go to the head conductor.

Still laughing at old55's reply of "Scully"...

You've made hangon007's day, old55...

May day was "made" long ago - when we secured the 2 first round picks from GWS (AFL) we just had to wait 12 months to enjoy it - Im going to enjoy this trade & drafting period. I am a patient man - I am a Demons supporter after all.

It is fun watching Sheeds and Co squirming isnt it !! lol :)

I wonder if its yet occured to the Martian Seagull himself that money doesnt buy everything !!!

In fact sometimes it doesn't buy much at all ^_^

I could not care less about GWS - a fake team built on cheating & bs - they stand for nothing - even their name is fake - what the hell is a GWS - can't see it on any map I've looked at - the rats will soon depart leaving Tommy $ and his $illy old man $tranded

No chance it will be there in 20 years time.

Vlad and the boys will keep pouring in money and changing rules until they are succesfull.

There is a lot better chance the MFc will fold before them IMHO

They will find it harder than most to retain their list. The place is a dump, and they will never build a meaningful base. Nonne cares ! Good $ after bad IMHO - Vlad notwithstanding. History is littered with dead teams from out there - NBL, ASL come immediately to mind. NRL & A League heartland.

Please muppets and newspaper boys ignore - Rumours are now out one of the clubs might try and bring the first battle forward by a year - by targeting a large Ruckman with a bit of inside info. Hope its just his manager pumping up his price and forcing GWS to use more salary cap space.

    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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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
