So he's trained poorly on 'one occasion' in the last nine years! Obviously needs to be traded for whatever we can get otherwise his standards might be contagious!

When did I say he's trained poorly once in 9 years? I've only been to training twice. Stop being ridiculous and twisting words.

These young men have hardly had a life

I observed a young T Cloke growing up and watched him as his spirit, creativity and sense of fun disappear, as his footy consumed him 24/7

This could be JW's version of teenage angst

Like any individual and their employment, it's what you make of it.

AFL footballers have it much better than the average Joe.

There has occurred no trade yet ( formalised )

That is miles away from no takers.

At least 4 clubs are interested but one far more than the rest.

As with many things in trade week one trade may wait on others.

All those wishing to see the back of Jack, your wait is not much more.

As much as Jack has had to quickly acclimatise to a new beginning so do others elsewhere. As such some trades are either stalling or in flux. Possibly tomorrow or monday a number of required moves will happen( or start ) and the the pain of the expectant anguished will be extinguished.

Quite possibly locker #4 is already empty.

The jackals will have their day.

The dog has self inflicted all wounds so far BB.

Agree itshould be over soon I hope.

However he will go for a very poor pick hardly reinforcing some people on here deluded views of his impact at this club

I, for one, would keep Jack and see if he really wants to be here with his "mates" and sharing the glory

Unfortunately I really believe Jack  still hasn't got the ticker and would rather go elsewhere where maybe he can tease another group of supporters before moving on to his future passion in fashion.

I see both sides of the argument, but this thread is getting ridiculous now.

Where is the actual evidence that Jack is a culture killer? Or a terrible trainer? Or went on a trip to Bondi?

The poor training and the Bondi trip 'analysis' both derived from GNF's post a while back - someone who I might add, a good few of you wont have a bar of at around this time of year.

GNF says he went to Byron, one person later repeats that as Bondi and now everyone says Bondi. GNF says his rehab was hampered/delayed/not ideal and that morphs into him being a terrible trainer, thats why he's no good....  yadda yadda yadda

What next?

I can kill that speculation... I live in Sydney and can categorically state that I did not see any sign of Jack.

The truth...though probably not 'next'

Meanwhile there'll be the rest of Jack's career.

Maybe we add football to war....the first casualty ....:rolleyes:

I think the point was that one swallow doth not a spring make. Your sample size is tiny (and probably subjective).

Just interested to know how many of those that would trade Jack for his off-feild behavior would have sacked Oliver after his drink driving at the start of the season and how many of those still would now.

Expand  

Rubbish comparison and you know it.  Oliver is a kid who needed to learn a lesson.  Not only did he learn from it, he smashed it on the track and we've seen the benefits of that.

Jack is a 9 year veteran who still needs struggles for consistency in many facets of his game, both on and off field, when he should be setting the example for the kids.

It was byron, and i alerted this forum to it at the time. Jack posted a Instagram 'story' showing himself up there. A 'story' is temporary and deletes when a new story is added or after 15 hours. I said at the time that jack was silly posting it and it proved to be so.

Which is why I'll back the judgement of the FD, after all, they're the ones trying to offload him.

    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

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
