How's Scully escaping the media wrath? Million a year, racking up 15 posses a game. Spud.

Finally one today in the HUN Pipefitter.

Not exactly a big put down like he would be getting if he was still at the MFC but a couple of interesting stats on less then wonderful figures he is producing.

I'll purchase all NikNat shares. The guy hasn't had one uninterrupted preseason for a few conditions. He shouldn't even be playing now with his groin.

One day AFL clubs will work out that you can take 3 steps forward if you are prepared to take 1 backward one. Melbourne should have taken one backward one after the last training before the Geelong NAB Challenge game.

The new radical treatment option of the future might be an adequate rest phase and aggravation avoidance to the main pathology.

Add Trengove and it's a shocking return from back to back picks 1 and 2

Is that the same Trengove who has been playing with a buggered foot for x months / years?

He has moved from the punching bag to the "glamor boys" at GW$, that is ho.

and a buggered shoulder apparently

Meth Coast have flogged him too hard.

Yes, if he doesn't take a break, he'll go blind and then he'll be of no use to the club at all!

His average supercoach ranking puts him 11th on the GWS list, who are 14th on the ladder

would not be in the best 100 midfielders in the comp

and i absolutely love the justice of it

Whilst I don't usually agree with threads devoted to laughing at a player's misfortune, I am quite satisfied that people are now generally cottoning on to Naitanui being an overhyped, overrated, lumbering one-trick pony.

I would not want him at this club, and I am fully aware of where Melbourne is at and what Naitanui is capable of.

Yes it is. That would constitute a poor return, wouldn't you agree?

I think he's definitely overrated but that's a bit rich. Give me Natanui over Spencer or any of the other ruckmen we have any day.

Scully, poor development or just a case that this number 1 was a good, average footballer at best? I think Scully is a good example that it is more about the cattle, than the development. I think Scully has tried to tick every box in his personal development, that is part of the reason he got the hell out of MFC as soon as his Dad could set it up. At GWS he has had every chance to develop but at the end of the day he is a super fit accumulator. What are his weapons? Not explosive speed or size, power, strength etc. He is a good accumulator of possessions without a laser like kick.

It just seems to me that everytime we have been down the bottom and in line for the early picks, there has not been that much there. Morton, Scully, Trengove, Watts for example and we could go back to 2003 re Sylvia. It could be development but I don't buy it, except maybe Sylvia who did have potential X factor skills but never applied himself.

Natanui is an exciting player who can turn a game around. Tightening one's anus has never achieved anything.

Neither has posting a cyanosed face with fangs and conjunctivitis.

That's wading in with a pretty big stick for posts 4 and 5!

Basically what I said over a year ago.

If Hogan comes up and Barry can improve to AFL standard, it will have to a deal in the Pitura mould of many years back or the Fields deal a few years later.

For those that don't know the overhyped Pitura was traded by Swans to Tigers who gave away Teasdale a Brownlow winner and Jackson who played about 200 games for the Swans and another player I have forgotten.

In the Fields deal the Swans got Fields from the Bombers who got in return the Danihers.

Both Pitura and Fields did little at their new club with Fields doing better of the two.

The GWS money man is not a shadow of the player he was hyped up to be. Wonder how quickly GWS would agree to undo the contract now. This will hurt them for several more years. Makes me smile to think about it.

Scully was never gonna live up to his paypacket

But ive seen him play a few times this year, and i see him gut running and hes gone back with the flight a few times, including one courageous mark against Melbourne

Watts has never done those things

The third player was Brian (the Whale) Roberts who was a great servant of the Swans.

    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

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
