Last season they looked like they couldn't win anything and got multiple floggings. They are also using the Collingwood press model and it's starting to work for them. Takes time for the team to get good at it something to think about...

We're looking at the 2015 or 2016 premiers.

These kids are amazing.

It's not rocket science to see what priority drafting, plus money, plus the best AFL player in the last 10 years can do to advance a club.

We had Cook, Gysberts, Morton, etc come to our club.

Fmd.

There's many factors for that which has been done to death on here. I'm just gonna go watch them play with no expectations and watch certain players such as Toumpas, Kent and Evans as they are the future.

Still doesn't explain the MFC abyss.

GCS have been pretty much a stable team for the past three years and so are now gelling very well. Unfortunately due to our multiple rebuilds, we don't have that unity.

It's depressing I know I think about it often and wonder what was going through BP and DB's heads??

You can see the difference in recruiting of the better sides like Sydney and Geelong, they get strong bodied kids who are up to the rigours of AFL footy. We drafted skinny racks who simply weren't up to it.

Yeah we all know how poor our drafting and development has been. Although I actually think since Neeld took over our drafting has been pretty decent. I know Gillies isn't much chop and Byrnes and Rodan are old but we needed some experience so that is why we got them. But Viney, Hogan, Kent, M.Jones, Terlich all look to be decent players and Clark and Dawes are obvious wins so really the new direction they are taking seems to be right just may take time.

time for an EGM is what it says to me.

6 years of bad decisions.

WYL, you and I have been around long enough to see AGMs, EGMs, mergers, coaches, next big things all come and go.

What we HAVEN'T seen is standards, high expectations, someone to come to this club with no flavour or fervour to GET IT GOING.

Our young list is almost as good as GCS (except SofG) and like cunnerz09 said, let's get some games into players who give a stuff!

Is it reasonable to suggest all of your posts will now quote verse Lordweaver?

Our list SHOULD BE as good or better than GC.

it isn't.

They are shot upstairs as well.

We need change.

Not better.... yet.

Bad picks may yet sink us.

They say that players' actions equate to coach killers - well, recruiting guys make or break teams.

Sure, they're going in hard but these conditions skew the impression the Suns are making.

I reckon we'd go okay in these tight and sloppy conditions.

Many of the GC players have been playig together for 40- 50 odd games. They have some serious talent and will be a real force in a coiple of seasons.

The media were calling for Guy Mckenna's head only a couple of month back. Good example of how quickly thigs can turn.

    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.

    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
