When was the last time we believed TS and look how that ended up.

I cannot open the link but I agree with Moonshadow!

'Taking shape', means, of course 'we traded away two of our most promising midfielders and are basically reloading through the draft again'.

For a moment, based on the thread title, I though this was going to be something about the way the club gets into a mess thinking that having 'trained the house down' all summer, they are all done and ready to go... complacently into a round 1 disaster that shatters confidence for the rest of the year.

Oh wait... it is an article about that.

But it's not at Melbourne. Well, that's good news!

LG - apologies for the scare but I loved the irony of the world's highest paid outside midfielder being the spokesperson for that little piece of GWS propaganda. It reminded me of some of the garbage put out about Melbourne circa three years ago.

If there's one thing I want us to do in 2014 it's to smash the living suitcases out of that mob in round three next year (in front of the obligatory 5,000 crowd) with Dom Tyson BOG and be undefeated at the end of the game with a percentage of 150. Am I asking too much?

If there's one thing I want us to do in 2014 its to walk the talk instead of just TALKING.

I am sick of hearing how good we are going to be and how well we are training etc.

It's time for less talk and more action.

"Taking Shape" -like a dog tird in the summer sun.

Toby Greene will slot nicely into our mid-field after another year of training with the plastic Giants.

Can't wait till he has finished his apprenticeship.

Exactly how do we go about doing that on 22 December?

No Jack. You are the Demonland realist and source of common sense - again! On top after three rounds I say!!!

I get the impression Roos wants that as well when he said in his latest revue video he would like the club tested sooner rather than later to benchmark where they are at. Either he is worried about the preseason hype developing or he is genuinely encouraged about the progress and would like to begin building confidence into this young group. I suspect (hope) it might be the latter. Edited by Dees2014

I would lmao if GWS put Scully up as trade bait at the end of next year. That would be my sort of justice.

Posted
Through the growing pains, Scully said his thirst for the sport had not dissipated. Rather, he said, it was simply about staying true to a plan of building with a young list. It's also a list that has lacked the equivalent of a Gary Ablett, a match-winner fellow expansion side Gold Coast has been able to boast.

Ummm... isn't that why Scully was given the big bucks?

yes it was lol

6 mil over 5 years for a kid that had done nothing at AFL level except be taken at pick 1 by the worst recruiting team in the land

Dream on. There's not a club in the caper that would take on the remainder of his contract

Funny how the worst recruiting team in the land took the general view that $cully was a top pick. I'm not defending our recruiting overall, but your remark would be just as true (and amusing to us $cully-haters) if you omitted the last phrase. Our club has been disappointing enough without adding self-flagellation when it's not justified.

No, but there is the AFL itself.

Shame on you Jack for giving ANY weight whatsoever to this [insert vulgarity of choice] !! :unsure:

I'd love to think that Scully is hopeless, but every time I see him play, he seems to do well.

Definitely not worth the money they're paying him , though.

I reckon we 'd be pretty happy with his progress if he was still with us, not having stabbed us in the back.

We all know that TS is grossly overpaid. Hence GWS have to find extra duties for him and get some modicum of value out of him. He does the media bull spin that others don't want to do.

    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.

    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
