direction...leadership influence outcome

people not see the flow ?

You dont wait, you make

its everything about leadership

Your making a fool of yourself like I just said he's had 7 coaches in 8 yrs.

I agree mjt. BB is being unrealistic.

But do you always have to add things like 'making a fool of yourself'. It is possible to disagree with someone without abuse.

Some don't have it, BB.

Can't be conjured overnight.

thats at least a valid counterpoint

unlike others

but then if he doesnt have it...how is he in the leadership group

If he makes claims he ought to back them up.

Seems to me he wants it both ways.

I make more of it that he makes a stance now, seems rather theatrical and contrived.

Very idealistic, but there is no one man team in the AFL.

He is but one man, and he has toiled manfully for many years.

I don't blame him for waiting.

But I also think you are misrepresenting the situation as if he has been unreasonable.

I'd appreciate you naming one single player who has made a different decision at such a stage.

Well, negotiations are precarious….he needs some encouragement? Mentoring? Perhaps, deep down, this is the promotion he has always craved, but couldn't verbalise?

I still think he's an exceptional player and must not be lost...

I agree wholeheartedly with the notion of mentoring.

Dont get me wrong....beyond my bemusement and scathing indifference is a will that he stays. But he has to want to stay and if not then what ever is

Who ever is in his his ear is doing no favours....to whatever is nibbling away at his concioussness and evoking ( for mine ) an unrealistic understanding of what awaits and indeed what are the choice.

Om dead curious as to why even broach this subject now....seems agenda driven

You have complained in the past at others, invariably Machsy, being abusive toward you - and here you are being indignant.

If you don't like this community, mjt, there is no law or academic requirement I have heard of that keeps a person here.

We're not.

how is this even a story?

No players sign contracts this early before they are out of contract, unless they are hacks who are lucky to be offered one

I think there's an undercurrent of loyalty that you're alluding to here. The ol' playing for the jumper...

That's now a changing mindset, brought about by several 'I am loyal and love the Club' players jumping ship for coin, motivation, greater prizes, or whatever.

Chip's manager is in his ear….make no mistake about that.

Then best you leave , I wasn't replying to sue or you so mind your own business , who do you think you are telling people to leave the forum, the only person that wasn't insulted was BB 59 and he was the one I was replying to. Edited by mjt

I'm with beelzebub on this. You can hold back until you see the direction (Watts, Frawley) or you can get in and set the direction (Grimes, Jones, Garland).

its a bit under said isnt it.

Im just curious as to what anyone..ANYONE expects of the future..or of their influence towards it

Again, why is this on the deck now ?? Other clubs 's players get through this but some of ours seem to use it as an excuse for other reasons ( my thinking )

The Dees would surely be stepping out on the best path they have since my living memory.... yet some dont buy in ?? yeah right esp as an elected leader. yeah..shred me by all means . Im not convinced he's dead set

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
