Or when he has players who can consistently run to the areas he is tapping to before opponents do.

That would be the our defensive side of the centre bounce?

Why? Our season is over. If we were a chance at finals I would agree, but bringing him in for one game at the end of the year doesn't hurt us at all. Russian has been a tremendous servant of our cl

I'm seriously hoping we can win on Sunday and watching Crossys retirement speech I'd say the boys will be too. PJ communicated the goal to win 7 games and is another reason we'll be up for this game, not to mention a win will likely have us above the Saints and we finish the season on a positive note. Will Mark improve our side on the weekend?

NM, for example, will rove to taps of opposing ruckmen when Goldstein is being beaten.

But they won't just do that - they will see where Jones is going and literally use his momentum to get to the spot that Jones was headed for.

We are that predictable, and essentially it comes down to a lack of better options.

Yep. I was being a bit facetious. I rate max. The problem is how poor our midfield is.

Ah...,the plot thickens.

I was going to say that the selectors said NYET, but now this twist.

Maybe we secretly asked permission from the Integrity Commissioner* (LOL) to play games with our team too.

Still a chance:

So he got named as emergency, maybe they'll keep him on for one more year and trade Spence? Or they are just being heartless....

    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. 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
