You're still not grasping the actual context here. It wasn't "homesickness", it was doing the best thing for his family. Securing their financial future is pretty important yes?

Of course they look bad from the outside to social media bogans and footy hacks who want everything black and white, spuds and stars, heroes and villains, but it's not the reality of what actually happened.

 

so, it was stuie-reality.......................right

Sad to see a great talent destroyed by injury and illness.  I really believe he was on the verge of something great when he came down with that debilitating Lisfranc in

Fremantle are the ones who dodged this bullet.

we didn't dodge anything - we gave up pick 10 and millions of clams to end up with Lumumba who hasn't done a damn thing yet

Stuie was there...Right there...

Was well documented at the time. But wouldn't have thought clever blokes like you guys would be the types to get sucked in by the dribble going around...

DC, careful discussing personal matters, without DNA, eyewitnesses and photographic evidence. 

My opinion on Mitch Clark is that he wanted out of Brisbane (not alone there) then we gave him a better offer. Going to Geelong in my opinion was a mutual agreement based on something.

That troubling equation on Demonland when you agree with Stuie or Saty's comments but are still antagonised by their general tone of response . . .

The other thing in the Clark deal was that we were able to get the business done with the Lions with Pick 12. 

Freo were busy trying to get him on the cheap. He would have been a Docker had they offered up a better deal earlier in the piece.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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
