has huge down side with his work rate and natural athletic ability.

You have an interesting way of agreeing with people.

I'm disappointed too, but I see a couple of positives as well: 1) Jack Hannath's disappiontment is clear evidence of a special type of bond developing at our footy club, the likes of which I doubt

This is a superb moment capturing the emotion as Hannath is told he'll be playing AFL next year, but not with the Dees: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/tabid/8667/contentid/509476/default.aspx W

Rucks don't need to be skillful.

If they get 3 kicks and 7 hanballs they can still have a dominant game if the hit the ball 40 times with their fist.

Jamar is value because he can dominate the centre square - an area a number 1 ruckman must be good at.

That is why he got 3 years.

If Spencer can do that - he will have a career. Same goes for any uncoordinated, skill-averse behemoth.

But if they can be athletic and dominant it makes a huge difference, Cox for instance is supreme ruck becasue he touches the ball regularly and effectively.

He has committed to spend a day this week training with Hawthorn.

We have a pick in the Rookie draft before Hawthorn, so if we want him ...

Do they have a pick in the PSD though?

I believe they don't.

I'm guessing but with Melbourne going to NT for the next week it might not be feasible to take a non listed player on the trip. There could be implications with insurance and a whole range of things involved.

That means that Hannath is free to train elsewhere and who knows? A different club altogether could select him in the PSD or the rookie draft.

That's the system.

I really hope we get him. He looks the goods.

I certainly don't want to bring up those past players mentioned before, because I am one for all these trades getting done. And getting Jack Hannath would be the icing on the cake for me.

Stef Martin will go down as another bungled pick.

I know he didn't 'cost' much, but it's symbolic of our last five years or so.

No idea.

does any one have access to a hawthorn site to see their opinion of him?

Chances are that one or two of the blokes that we have let go will succeed at another club. That won't mean that we will have made a mistake.

The list needs to be looked at as an entity on it's own and not as a group of indivduals.

And especially the compound effect of all, on the culture. This to me is why its necessary to ciut so deep, & bring in so many more professionally oriented types of players, & coaches.

Hard to say JR, if it was him, or the culture he came into, or a combo.

Does anybody know whether he was invited to train in Darwin?

I doubt it. Like WJ said above, it wouldn't have been feasible with insurance etc

Hannath would be a great backup for our ruck stocks.

Not to mention, adding to the possibility that one of our rucks will be useful as trade bait next year. If we picked him up, can't imagine we'd keep Gawn, Spencer and Hannath over the long term, and we still have Clark, Fitzpatrick and some pinch-hitters (Sellars, Pederson). Surely one would go.

Hi all - first post!

Hannath did go to Darwin with the Dees. From what I've heard he's been pretty much guaranteed by Melbourne that they'll take him

Welcome and thanks for the heads up.

If we take Hannath, does anybody have any insider info on who our other rookie pick may take this week?

Some seem to think we will chase a small forward so that is basically one of the northern territory kids

I really doubt we will add to the mature age brigade seeing as we already have Magner still on the Rookie List

Will be interesting and will look forward to Venom Denham making absurd and negative remarks no matter who we pick

Taken by Freo at pick 8 in the PSD.

Revenge for Mitch?

Exactly what I thought

    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.

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.

    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
