I hope Max and some of the others go along gf day and use the hurt to motivate them over the summer.

They can realise what they are missing out on by losing playing on the G gf day in front of Melbourne fans.

And get paid a truckload of money, I’m pretty sure most of them move on a lot quicker than we do 

Yeah but the good ones want to prove how good they are and move on to prove it

One of the things that came out of the reflections was the reason we are pursuing Grundy so hard, we knew Max was carrying an injury but didn’t realise how serious the injury was and our ruck stock cupboard was bare, LJ  was off the boil and halfway out the door. We sure put a lot of our eggs in the LJ basket, so JT and our recruitment team will be working overtime to try and rectify this  lack of talls. Good luck boys.

They were stuffed without a proper break last offseason so the skipper wants to go cycling around Europe? 🤔

A mental break is almost if not more important than a physical break

Question is the Cats played one less game than us yet look a lot fresher, sure mentally was tough but what did our fitness team do to prepare the team. Burgess departed but I’m sure he would have assist Griffiths in the program for 22

I think it’s a culmination of things. Injuries, being hunted, game plan were all contributing factors. There is also the belly full element. Our pressure has been off all year - just had to watch the Swans to see the desperation that it takes. 
 

Im not holding my breath for next year either. Not saying we will drop away but I think Goody will try to persevere with the current plan.

The Cats stuck to their finals flunking game plan for 10 years before Scott finally did something about it. If Goodwin is all about learning I hope he learns that lesson real quick.

    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
