Just said he took the entire list to watch today's game to see where they need to get to.

I bet there were a few who wondered what game was being played...

Best news i have heard in years...

Their old mate Jared put in....see what happens....

I'm amazed the players don't otherwise take themselves to the game.

If you're a forklift driver do you go and watch other forklift drivers move pallets on your day off? In saying that..I know what you're saying...

that is actually a smart idea. Its the 2 teams that are top of the ladder and where we have to get to. Hopefully they saw teammates back each other up, man up tackle and put a lot of pressure on.

Would have been a great 360 with 2 losing coaches on. I suspect Bomber would have been more disappointed than Roos.

Some do, some don't. Some don't like watching other sides, some for superstitious reasons, some just don't like it.

Regardless, the real value in this is not simply that the players saw a good game - they can do that at any time really. It's the act of Roos bringing the team together and demanding that, at once, straight after a loss, they be subjected to, and be asked to critically learn from, the high watermark of the game right now. It will do a lot more from them when it's required of them by Roos and they do it as a group.

You do if you're want to become the best forklift driver in the business.

Or if you keep dropping the pallets, running into the shelving or falling out the seat.

But if your as bad a fork lift driver as Melbourne is at playing football then maybe you should take a few lessons from the best

If you're the type of player that doesn't like watching other teams for "superstitious reasons", you can right well F off!

How the hell are you supposed to scout your opponent and truly understand how a team plays if you're only going to watch, say, a few minutes before you play them?

I wonder if that's Jordan Gysberts of Cale Morton driving?

Its Cale. I can tell by how quickly he moved to avoid any impact.

I was thinking myself watching the Cats v Hawks that I hoped every MFC player watched it all.....and hopefully Roos will sit them all down together at one of their "planning sessions" or whatever they do behind closed doors when not actually doing physical stuff, and go through parts of the game demanding that they understand and commit to what is required for success. It was an uncompromising game, exciting for the most part (other than that bloody kicking backwards in keepings-off ) and if our guys are committed to improving their own and the team's performances they could do well to emulate what they saw.

Here's hoping though realistically not really expecting

Said unfair to focus just on watts......have been trying him in a lot of positions as they have been trying a lot of people in different positions & they might have to look at themselves (coaches) they might be doing the wrong thing. Bomber also reiterated that he gives players lots of chances

    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
