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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
