Met Brendan at the races yesterday and spoke to him about the Dees. I think he will prove to be one of our best recruits behind PJ and Roos. He is a nice guy, who was quite prepared to give of his t

I have spoken to former players, as have many others on Demonland no doubt and the one thing they all agree on is, without good admin,coaching and development, you can't have sustained success. We ar

To be fair, he offered his opinion when asked for it by Redleg. I don't see these comments as concerning himself with club politics.

The bombers are playing around with macca, just like they did with mark Williams when they hired James, the chemist has the job it's all a smoke screen, they want it to look like they are doing a thorough job.

Both the Dees and EFC had horrendous seasons during his 4 years as a Mentor/Director.

Not saying he was at fault but it is clear he wasn't able to affect the performance of the coaching groups.

Not sure how or why Carlton expect a different result.

Good luck to them...may they spend many more years anchored at the bottom end of the ladder.

It may be karma's way of punishing them for 'not tanking' and not 'bringing the game into disrepute'.

On topic...can't wait for Worsfold to be appointed so we are certain to have Macca for at least another year.

If the EFC were smart they wouldn't go near Worsfold. The perception of the football community to the tainted flag which has been raised again by Daniel Chick is something they can't afford.

However, they have been shown to be not to smart.

If we are smart, we will be working on plan B just in case the EFC wake up to themselves.

Reminds me of the Neeld appointment at Melbourne, with the same Elder Statesman and a rag-tag of inexperienced apprentices. Hope there's a similar result as what we endured.

Neeld took over a club that had virtually no AFL standard players, a hapless board that offered no support and whom all resigned one way or the other, a poor administration and senior football department officials, and an ever dwindling support base.

Brendan Bolton is the antithesis of Neeld.

I don't think he will fail quite as hard, I don't think Carlton is ready for a Bolton-type of coach though.

His enthusiasm will struggle to cut through the arrogance and hubris.

It's a delicious thought none the less. One to savour....the continuing calamitous convulsion that is Carlton ^_^

Neil Craig was a good coach at the crows, he is not the reason for neelds failure, a mentor can only do so much, thee coach still is the one in charge, neeld came from the school of malthouse, all his assistances have failed, all of clarko assistances are going well, some coach make good future coachs and some make cap ones.

would have to make them have a second think

especially if afl integrity inquiry drags on and woosha's name gets thrown about as chick said management were involve/to blame

of course afl will stage manage it and essendon likely to be too arrogant anyway

personally i think it would be a very "good" marriage for all concerned

    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
