He is a woeful kick 90% of the time. 

All his set shot practicing doesn't seem to have helped either.

He's better than he was.

All those MFCSS members look stupid now, I bet not one of them now will post and say we are soft for not going on  the camp, I always said not going on the camp was a nothing story

You know this how ?  dmma

How do you know what all the players thought individually, of cancelling the camp.

 

You don't get to rewrite the posts of others, Via your own descriptions,,,,  half a season later.  and then claim some sort of hollow victory over what I don't know.

 

You sound a little like this fella.>

He’s kicked 7.8, so you’re about 40% off. Woeful wouldn’t kick 2 checksides in a row from the boundary either. 

But yeah, his ball drop makes it 50/50.

Yes captain of the MFCSS,you can't  Amit going on the camp has  little bearing on how the seasons will go, from the start I have been saying the something, I said it was a nothing story on a Demonland podcast. Where are Adelaide at the camp did nothing for them but divide their team, these camps are good for SAS because war is much more harsh then football.

And you sound like chicken little, change your avatar to captain MFCSS

I never had a problem with us not going to the camp. My issue was the way it was handled from a communication perspective between the players and the coaching staff. 

It gave the ammunition to the media and the wider footballing community to use it at every stumble. 

Obviously there's silence on this issue from the media because they can't use it because winning and not going to the camp doesn't sell papers or make for good clickbait. 

Don't think for a second that the media won't roll out the corpse of this story if things go south in the back nine of the season and we somehow miss finals.

Let's go with incredibly unreliable and is less than a 50/50 chance. ?

Ok, so why do these camps exist, for sporting clubs, why do they even do the Kokoda trail ?  The argument should also incorporate Clarkson and other coaches and clubs, who do these type of pre-season camps.

Maybe its just a Baby-boomer thing.

 

We are going well at this time, so I really cannot be bothered to enter into a long winded debate, so far removed from where the team is, right now.

You will always be captain MFCSS, it will come out after every lose, the kokoda track is totally different to the camp, and I am sure if the club asked the players to go to PNG, and do the track no one Will say no,  but i would do the track at the  beginning of preseason. The camp does nothing but make the players lose conditioning, why did we have lots of soft tissues injuries last year? Now Adelaide are having lots of soft tissue injuries forget about the camp, just wait for the next mull hill that your MFCSS mind can make a hill out of.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
