If you did, you’d officially be a troll. 

So kudos on your discretion. Well done. You’re growing.

Next step is to admit you’re wrong about Viney being a “rugby player” and literally a starting midfielder in the most explosive midfield the game has seen recently who was in the heat of the game when we were dominant in a Grand Final. 

We’re here, happy to bite, and ready to forgive and forget, and absolve.

You don’t want the karma, my friend. You don’t want that.

Well you had to say it so,  yes he changed his game style and was a better player for it, guess he read my posts and adapted good on him for that but it does not mean you cannot upgrade lets see how pre season goes before I change my mind.

Great to see Dunstan on Channel 9 news tonight doing weights and fitness sessions with Gawn and Gus. Will give himself every chance to break in in 2022 and prove the saints wrong.

The greatest motivation of all, to get better and prove everyone wrong! 🤩

Yeah, let’s look at his pre-season… it’s not like he just showed all the doubters in the ‘post-season.’

The footy gods do not eff around buddy - you better atone or karma is going to have its way with you.

I know at this point you are just playing to get a reaction but it must feel bad to be so dismissive of someone like a Jack Viney, who is the epitome of a Demon and the coach’s favourite player, and be so wrong. So very very wrong. 

(Looking up at the sky) Take it easy on him Norm, Teddy, Jimmy…

Never worry about Karma over rated, no I don't feel bad about Jack I still see more upside with other players, in the end performance will be the factor if it is him so be it but you should always have your 😳😳😳😳   and mind open.

I think Luke has been really stiff this year, has worked super hard, played very very well in the 2s and thought he’d be a chance to replace Sparrow on more than one occasion. Really hope the club does the right thing by him, and having said that we did with Kolodjashnij.

We will put him through rehab but if he couldn’t get a game all year, I’m not sure he was ever going to win a new contract. I agree with you, I have no idea why he wasn’t given any opportunity whatsoever this season. It just smells of potentially some personality clash, which reading between the lines, ended his St Kilda career.

He was unlucky. He was in good form & Goodie actually talked him up at a presser. Unfortunately he injured his knee & missed a month or so at the same time Clarry got injured & that ruined his chances.

A really good club guy who brings great attitude and application to training every day. His team mates love him. I'm shattered for him. At the very least, he's ensured that Viney, Oliver and Sparrow (at times) have been accountable to consistent form so that has been positive.

Was barely ever named emergency as well.

Seriously rotten luck for poor Lukey. I too agree that he should have been rewarded for form over the likes of James Harmes who completely stunk it up everytime he was given an opportunity. 

He'll obviously be delisted, so all the best for Luke.

wont get 2 years as he'd be 30 at the end of that and we'd hope theres some fresh talent coming through by then but we could give him 1 year and plonk him straight on the LTI list and replace his spot on the list. that way he can use facilities and get good rehab but also we don't lose the list spot. even whack him down on the rookie list and youre paying him outside the salary if hes on chips

I think we will do exactly that for him and Melk, to help them financially, keep them involved and continue our strong culture development. That also doesn’t tie up list spots and our players and player managers would see our commitment to our players. That is gold.

I would say Melksham might get a coaching or development role if he’s keen. He is out of contract but I doubt we’d just dump him. 

I am also quite sure that Ben Brown will retire with a year left to run on his contract and we might convert that contract to a full time AFLW coaching role, as he’s already involved in coaching our women’s team.

Slightly diff in a role sense but agree re getting the nod ahead of Harmes.

Could've been given at least 2 to 3 matches while Clazz was injured and would also have eased the inside extractor burden off Viney a tad.

Agreed and when he played last year, he was solid. Rewarding VFL form is also important.

Goes down as a VFL Premiership player. Something to be proud of.

    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
