On 6PR this morning said he's looking to play on at another club. Thinks he has at least 2 years in him and maintained his fitness while refereshened up during his suspension.

Good experience and a superb tagger if we want to free up Vince and Viney.

Would be a very cheap pickup as a DFA.

Roos is trying to build a culture and you start a thread thats quite the opposite to what we are trying to achieve?

Bizzare

Again I would leave this up to the coaching fraternity.

A wealth of football experience.

I'm currently questioning the culture building, we've recruited 2 people, who were 100% involved in the worst culture imaginable.

I don't see anything bizarre about it. Roos is trying to build a culture that puts the team first, we play as a team a unit not of self serving individuals. The essence of the team is about playing your role, now correct if I'm wrong but crowley is pretty damn good role player who certainly puts the team first.

And had no control over the decisions made, and removed themselves from that environment shortly thereafter...

Unless you're referring to Melksham, who again had no control over it, and again removed himself at the earliest opportunity.

I'm referring to Goody and Jake. I accept that they were most likely caught up in something they had no control over but there is the possibility that they were indeed complicit or, caught up in the "whatever it takes" and associated possible benefit of success. I bet they were feeling pretty good about themselves when they were flying on the field. Who knows? Only the people at Essendon know what went down. I'd have preferred we just avoid them like the plague.

McCartney was there too.

He and Goodwin are class acquisitions by the club.

No one should blame the younger players at Essendon at the time of the cocktail party either. Poor kids were used as human pincushions.

If anybody wants to point their finger it should be firmly aimed at 'he who had a 6 week Bali holiday tan in the middle of a cold Melbourne winter'.

Ironing out this bloke with a shirt front, and calling Danners to tell him he was too hung over to play are my only two memories from Byron Pickett's time at the MFC.

Wasn't it Brett Peake? I thought it was but you're probably right.

I remember whoever it was bounced about 10 feet in the air.

A very good point. Poignant.

Went looking for a video, but all I could find was this thread: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/pickett-wont-get-4-just-2-i-reckon.241695/

2006. Nearly 10 years ago. :o

Yep was definitely Crowley. Broke his cheekbone according to Wiki.

So it was even better than I remembered.

    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.

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.

    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)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
