Not sure that Bennell would be beyond the ability of Roos, Goodwin and McCartney and mentors such as Cross and Petracca. I think that we should give it a go!

No way!

I understand the principle of high risk and high reward, but stupidity is never rewarded.

Guys if we were gonna cross out peoples names because they were doing coke, we'd be crossing out a lot of the names in the AFL.

I'm sure that's true Pipe, but that doesn't change my view.

Bennell, despite his obvious football talent, has a history of breaking team rules. Clearly he is a very 'high maintenance' player, and I don't want players of that ilk on our list.

On a pure football basis he is very lazy, backs his undoubted talent but won't do the hard work.

Not sure we need this type of footballer on our list let alone the baggage he carries.

Sure did Gd

It also shows how stupid the AFL's three strike rule is.

Players know they will be unlucky to get caught and can get caught twice before anyone knows.

I have always thought it is more about keeping the problem out of the spot light than finding the problems.

Could not have put it better myself OD

I think the AFL will try and stop them losing too many players.

You mean like the "Sydney can't trade" rule they brought in last year out of nowhere?

Maybe we'll see a "You can't take GC players" rule this year.

What has really gone on up there?

All these high draft picks have been sent up there

WE have all paid for this just so TV can monoplize

The Gold Coast $un$

Very angry about this...

Wyl you seriously think the AFL cares about what goes on? As long as their "market base" for AFL is (according to them) expanding along with the base revenue then i really dont think the AFL care about much as long as they field a half decent competitve team. Oh wait, they arent are they! Ok the AFL would probably be a bit worried now.

P.S. are u angrier about this than normal?

Id much rather be on the party squad

And id never play for a captain who tried to make the team pray before a game. No wonder they are a rabble.

Party squad for sure.

Apparently there's a huge split between the "God squad" and the "party squad." Almost irreparably so. I imagine Rocket wouldn't be helping the situation, at all.

I was totally and completely persuaded by the intellectual integrity of this argument but am now having trouble reconciling Gary Ablett's return with the stunning GC victory tonight

P.S. it's not that I'm saying it was the most moronic thing I've ever seen

There have been others to compete and a couple of those recently on Demonland to do with drugs and social policy

And some others in the Australian

Don't agree CBDees this will end in tears.

The MFC have finally got a good culture developing I do not want that risked by an idiot.

Leopards and spots is my view.

Chase someone who is unhappy being at the GCS not a drug head.

spot on 'od',,,,, leopards & spots, 'n' all that.

    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.

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
