Franklin and Thomas may end up the poster boys for the pitfalls of Free Agency.

Building a list continues to prove to be an art form that can't be mastered with $.

You cannot inprove on perfection Machsy. You might suggest to Hemmingway that his work is a bit sparse.

Jabberwocky, I agree for the most part. However, when you see the gifts bestowed on Gold Coast and GWS, I'm not completely convinced. All things being equal however, and I think you are right. And Thomas may prove a greater flop than Buddy. They're in trouble and it's good.

I'd have offered Murphy for trade for boyd certainly, Mick needed to understand that it was a one step back two step forward type situation

One thing contributing to the issues at Carlton is an expensive recruit who isn't performing It’s black and white: Daisy’s no Blue

But Mick wanted Daisy!! So, Mick (and CFC) got Daisy :-)))))

There's a lot more to leadership than that, you either get it or you don't.

You never got back to us Machsy. What's that phrase you're so in love with? NFI

Machsy doesn't need my help, but let me answer anyway. To be a leader you need to have followers. Hodge has followers; Nick Reiwoldt has followers. I'm not sure Chris Judd has.

And this is not a criticism of Judd. As I've said before, it doesn't matter whether you're intelligent, courageous or highly skilled. There are plenty of examples of footballers with those qualities who wouldn't have, or didn't, make great leaders. And, conversely, others who become terrific leaders even if they're not anywhere near the best player in their team. For example, Nick Maxwell. Or, in another sport entirely, Mike Brearley.

Symptomatic of what I was alluding to, but not exactly.

I'm not going to give a dissertation on leadership, but a key component is communication.

Jude's sometimes aloof and disengaged personality is not conducive to good leadership.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
