I have just read that Phil Read will be playing for the Geelong VFL team this season. What happened here? Was he not required at Sandy or did he get a better offer from Geelong? Maybe he just didn't want to be associated with Melbourne after being delisted. Does anyone know the full story?

Originally I heard he was going to play in the EDFL, but apparently he somehow knew Cameron Ling and the Cats approached him and Geelong appealed cos he can spend more time down the surf coast.

I remember Ling last year on The Footy Show talking about how he thought Read was unlucky to be dropped at one stage.

It would make sense if they are mates.

Usually when blokes "retire" it just means from AFL footy, not all footy in general.

I can tell you straight out that his decision to play for Geelong is souley based on one thing; he likes to surf.

Armstrong was lucky he is an average player and always will be, like 'wotsisname' who went to Sydney and played in a flag

I agree it was a mistake however he is not a sensational player, most swans fans blame his poor performance for their GF loss last year, and if he really is that good why would they get Everitt?

Edit: Woohoo, 500 posts!!

Occo, it is these sort of comments that make me wonder whether or not you are an agent provocateur.

Allowing Barassi to go to Carlton - a big mistake.

Jolly to Sydney - yawn.

Ok our ruck ATM is ordinary. Infact i think we have one of the worst ruck players in the leigue. Yes white is great and has been sensational for us for many years but he is older and the limitation of running into the ruck has ruined his game (as he needed a runup due to his height). I cant see Jamar ever being that good and with Jolly we would look very good. Yes jolly left on his own terms so its kinda pointless argument but he is a very good player

    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)

    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
