I remember seeing Ablett live as a kid. I remember being shocked at the size of his legs. So thick. So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big....

Whaddya think, Coq?

 

Ablett was the greatest player I ever saw. I withdraw all foolish comments.

Based on corrections in this and other threads, and a quick check of an Albanian dictionary, I would like to confirm a crucial fact -

It's Y'ze, not Yze.

So it’s pronounced “Why-Zee”?

Very good McQueen, I fully support your post - except there's no apostrophe in 'its' as a possessive article.

Interesting? NOT.

Now that this thread has turned to official unmitigated garbage I'll bother to note that I wrote 'interneting' as opposed to 'interesting'. It's not interesting at all. This thread or a particular poster should be culled.

It’s a full time job keeping on top of iOS spellcheck errors, fella’s.

Good pick up. My defence? I was lying in bed about to kip. Otherwise you got me. 

 

PS: McQueen's done it again with "fella's" but it's way too pedantic even for me to go at him again. This thread has been waylaid far too much thanks to the Coq Tete.

Excellent point Steve.

Over the years, some of my best smut has been deleted and yet the above dull rubbish continues to clog and derail a thread.

But why on earth would Goodwin take any more notice of him that he has with other assistants.

Two time premiership player - I know what I'm doing.?

What's this story about Goodwin ever taking any input from assistants.  I know directly from Brendan McCartney that they had a close and fruitful relationship.  When Macca left everything he said was positive about Goodwin.

We’ve accepted mediocrity for far too long in all departments. I don’t want people back who’ve participated in that mediocrity in whatever role: player, coach or any administrative role.

We missed out on Voss. Tried hard to get him to move. But he is staying with Port

Does the attention move to Yze now??

I'd say we wanted Yze, Voss and Leppitsch. Reckon we'll get at least one of them.

The other 2 i have no information on at this point

Not sure we want/need both Voss and Richardson? Starts to get a bit top heavy I would have thought.

Obviously, Richardson isn't currently a line coach, but I wonder what he'd think of taking on the role of Development coach as well as overseeing coaching? He did start as a development coach.

With reduced soft cap to go around, if we could get 5 line coaches to take care of our needs that'd be great.

Forward / Match Day Strategy & Opposition (his role in 2020 at Hawthorn) - Adem Yze

Midfield - Adam Kingsley / Matthew Knights

Back - Leppitsch (still hopeful ;) )

Ruck - Greg Stafford (or someone new...)

Development & Director of Coaching - Alan Richardson

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
