Great to hear WCW, I really like the look of him as well and he spoke so well on SEN and 6PR, just out of interest how tall do you think he is?

I’m pretty crrapp at guessing height. But I’m 165cm, maybe someone else can guess.

    After the club’s train wreck off-season (and post-season), it would’ve been nice to see some more of the 4+ years players back at the club.


    Clarry in particular, in fact I am actually surprised he didn’t make a statement by coming back early.

    Definitely expected Clayton to be there

    I am hoping that Clayton is still over with Kade in SA. A few SA boys not there - e.g. ANB, Kosi, and the mystery as to whether Petty was there or not this morning......

    Listed on one site at 186 cms - closer to 183 I reckon.....

    > 165, unless you’re standing 10m behind him.

    I think Chris is onto something he championed JVR last year all of this year he has been championing Jefferson to come up big this year.

     

    Chris from Camberwell that is.

    It is way too early to be confident that positional moves will stick, but T-Mac was doing defensive work - maybe they've decided that with Petty forward, they need another tall defensive back-up.

    I agree with this.

    His days as a forward appear over if his finals performances were any indication. I think he would make for a good key defender to call upon if we have some issues down back.

    Kane Cornes has just read this post and will run with it in his 5:30pm opening sermon tonight.

    He had a crack at Ginnevan for not rocking up to day 1 training, so I expect he'll do the same for Clarry.

    I agree with Volcano on very little, but I do agree it is a missed opportunity to make a strong statement to your teammates and to your supporters that you’re leaving no stone unturned in overcoming recent disappointments/let-downs.

    Agree, but let's spin it the other way. He's taking the time he needs (and has been granted) to enjoy his off season, get away from the city and reset. I'd rather him be happy, healthy and start on time instead of rushing back just to please people.

    Surely the Club have learnt by now and have included WCW warnings as part of the new players induction. Kol either missed it, or he decided to just take his chances. Mind you, he wouldn't has stood a chance if WCW was stalking him. 

    And by the way WCW, next time you do your makeup, please use a mirror.

    Jefferson has added some bulk but he’s still a fair way off the size, speed or endurance of JVR last year from a limited look today. I’d have him more on par now with JVR in 2022.

    Of Chris from camby’s favourites it would be AMW - if nothing more than being healthy to start preseason - who could be in line to make a huge improvement next year

    I waited ‘til he’d strayed from the pack then I pounced, (imagine David Attenborough saying this). It was as swift as it was brutal. The poor thing didn’t stand a chance.

    Thanks for the training reports!

    I’m still hoping in 2024 Salem is delivering into our forward line and rivers plays higher up the ground more

    It’s too late for Kol now that he had been WCW’d (he’ll probably ask for a transfer now), but for the Club’s sake, please keep WCW away from the other newbies. 

    Hey! I’ll have you know I was warmly greeted by Choco, Staffy, Richo and Reece (Conca) who reiterated that I can have his job when he retires, (I don’t even have to ask anymore). Richo even said, “Good to see you back.”

    As for the other noobs, their time will come. No one escapes the clutches of this slightly deranged fan. 😜

    Thanks @WalkingCivilWar. Don't wear so much make-up next time.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
