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.

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. 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

    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
