I heard Choco speak at a GWS Coterie function two years ago. He was absolutely sensational. He is a fantastic communicator in a footy environment - bloody funny, has a bucket of larrikin war st

Lots of talk on 3aw about Choco Williams coaching us. Apparently according to Dwayne Russell, even when coaching at port, he wanted to return to the heart of football and coach a team. The positives

Clearly an error - but press conferences with Choco will be far more entertaining than under Ross Lyon. I agree with the comments his brother made in that article. This club, in its current circumst

Who cares ?

Given your very strong views on recent and not so recent events at our club, that surprises me.

I've gone to great lengths to explain why it doesn't bother me; i.e 12 years at the one club; Parkin sacked, re-employed, sacked, i.e. there's a use by date for all coaches; great win/loss record; recharged batteries; highly regarded at Richmond; regarded by past players as a great development coach; change of personnel in admin and footy manager can lead to the type of events he experienced in 2010, especially after 12 years ...

Clearly you're concerned by his exit and clearly I've covered reasons why I'll give a successful premiership coach the benefit of his record.

In essence, you either want to believe, or you don't. I want to and I have enough compelling reasons to. I think you're overly concerned by one part of his history, which can be reasonably explained. Ultimately, please yourself.

Heard from a mate , so no it's no 100% reliable but Dusty is unhappy with his offer compared to Jack Roo. If Buddy goes north of the border Dusty will request trade to Hawks.

Hawthorn is probably the very last club Martin should be thinking of going to, given their past - in regards to drug strikes.

I would have thought Sydney would be a fantastic fit for someone like Dusty, although he'd look good in Red and Blue

    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

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

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
