Of course the drug problem Caro refers to may not necessarily be confined to personal use. Nice little Abletesque synergy going on.

Geelong has suspended S. Johnson from the senior playing group indefinitely. All of his training will take place with the club's VFL squad under coach Leigh Tudor and he will not be invited back with the senior squad until such time as he proves that his attitude and behaviour have changed and that he is willing to be a responsible and contributing member of the club. Johnson's suspension from the senior group will be reviewed no sooner than the sixth round of the season.

That is a long time for someone to sober up!

What are you going to do when a promising player hits a female staff member? Not recruit an elderly Clarkson, a Nick Pesch, that guy from the Saints, that SA guy from the Maggies. That's what actually hurts you.

In relation to the Eagles subject...Whoever makes those comments should really check their sources. I live in Perth and while all this talk is going on in Melbourne, nothing has been said here?? It's actually quite funny to hear the rumours etc I'm not saying the Eagles are angels, but I would like to know where this lady gets her info.

Depends which circles you move in.

Despite the flack that she gets, Caro is a reasonable journo and wouldn't make such a claim without some pretty 'tight' sources.

Quite probably from the AFL's own Drug report from last year, leaked to Faifax papers and others, which named players, and for which the AFL successfully took out an injunction to prevent publication. That's a fairly good source IMO.

This was a serious leak and resulted in the AFL changing drug testing providers this week in an effort to tighten security on information.

BTW, I wonder if the day a Perth newspaper publishes a negative story about Worsfold and the team , is the day it goes out of business?

A bit like Collingwood being untochable by some Melb papers overhere.

Good point PGS. There was a story a short while ago in the Melb papers about the two team mentality, and how the Eagles through Worsfold use nothing less than fear and intimidation to bludgeon the journo's over there into printing only sweetness and light.

    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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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)

    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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
