Surely the word "chaos" whether used as "chaos ball" or "chaos game" wins the prize for the AFL's cliche of the year.

Having said that, this is not a bad article (apart from the ridiculous hyperbole of claiming Richmond's success came about "through sheer willpower" and the accidental error of claiming we peppered the Geelong goal in the second quarter).

Good article. This approach is working wonders for us and for it to work you need to be working your butt off 100% of the game. Any less just doesn't cut it.

Chaos theory actually relates to there being order in chaos not disorder.

Interesting that ANB is statistically one of the best pressure forwards in the AFL this year for those that question his importance to the side...

Ahh, the old probabalistic approach. Quantum football and all that.

Time to make some Hawthorn wave-functions collapse.

Some old fashioned kinetic energy delivered by Viney, VDB and Nev will do the trick.

Anna was in the rooms after the game on Friday. Appeared a couple of times during Roaming Brian.

“ ......Neal-Bullen is rated ‘elite’ for pressure, as is tall forward Tom McDonald, with first-year small forward Charlie Spargo ‘above average.’ ....”

Anyone seriously feel that Garrett will replace Spartacus?

It's sad this is the case. It was only last year he was lauded for his forward pressure. What the hell went wrong?

I can only liken it to a previous wearer of No 4 that didn't do physical contact.......has all the skills but desire and intent can't be taught...

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    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)
