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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

    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
