Anyone else feel just a little bit happy that Adelaide lost Kurt Tippet for nothing? I know its a long time ago but losing Scott Thompson after we had nursed him through a few injury riddled seasons really burned me. Particularly as we got nothing in return when he walked out..

Besides I like the word schadenfreude.....

In addition to Bock and Davis? They've been caned in the last three years and I never really begrudged them for taking Thompson anyway. Any karma they they were due I think they've paid and then some.

They didn't take Thompson away.

He asked for a trade to go home IF the club could get one they benefitted from. At the time the deal they got I thought was fair.

As I understand it, a deal hasn't been reached yet with the Swans?

So if they can't come to terms and he decides to nominate for the draft, wouldn't GWS just go "yep, we'll take him"?

Not sure GWS will be suckered like we were on Ball.

Happy to revel any other club's misery regardless, we've sure as hell had enough of it around here.

Are you serious? I feel for Crows supporters.

Bock, Davis, Gunston and now Tippet ? I would be fuming

At the time I wouldn't ordinarily have taken pick 12, but Port Adelaide weren't interested so that severely hampered our ability to get the best deal. With that in mind, Adelaide's offer was fine.

The thing that burns me up is their ability to play finals even when they lose these highly rated players. I want some of that misfortune!

You're right - he hasn't got to the Swans yet....

And yes they have been hard done by.

Feel for Crows supporters .

Ya gotta be kidding.

I've already watched them win 2 flags including 1 in a finals series where we smashed them by 52pts.

They are better than 50/50 shot at any SA player that wants to "Go home".

I couldn't give a toss how many players they lose.

100% agreement from me My TD

I hate them with a vengeance.

The only thing that the Tippet episode does to me is put a smile on my face.

the real schadenfreude has got to be the whole HWFUA situation

especially further sweetened when giants with 15 first rounders play him in the magoos

Schadenfreude could still prove a useful AFL player....if he can get a clearance from the Bundesliga.

    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

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
