sorry @WalkingCivilWar, but something that i think is worth discussing re grundy - one of the advantages of trading him for reasonably similar to what we 'paid' for him is we got all his salary off the books

where'd the circa ~700k a year go? certainly not on fullarton or billings (with the aints apaz paying a portion towards that of his high salary)

i wonder whether we're paying 'unders' this year in order to maximise our salary cap capital in future years

now, back to non-mfc - imagine how good the bloods would be if they had been able to keep dawson

*sigh* Idk. I just wanna watch other sides play and not think about the MFC while doing so, especially on a bye weekend. As for Jordan Dawson though, the Swans are doing pretty well without him, dontchya think?!

The Crows have this. 

The Swans are very good but far from unbeatable 

The Crows are solid and their position belies their heir quality 

Parity becomes us all

can see the bloods doing what they always seem to be doing of late - give up a start in q1, grind their way into it in q2 and q3, and then run away with it in q4

seems to have been the modus operandi of late - it was ours for a while too over the 2021-23 years; you come unstuck eventually, as we know

it's a risky way to play

Izak Rankine is a ️ Interesting post-goal song of choice: Whoomp! (There It Is) 😂

Rankine can come to the Dees whenever he wants.

what about rachele?

signed a massive deal and has 'disappointed' this year according to the likes of kornes (i think he's still been pretty good)

i'm not sure he's a mid - certainly hasn't rolled thru there this much this year - but he has played in that mid / fwd combo role in the past and has some nice skills

biggest query would be pace

I’d have him too.

Crows have great smalls coming through I reckon. That’s why they want Petty. When their midfield will be elite they’ll need support behind the ball to genuinely challenge. They want Harry to be their May.

Absolute waste of a list spot.  We can ill afford to be recruiting more downhill skiers.

Disagree but fair enough. Please let me know of another experienced/ tall forward/ rucking option that might be available at a reasonable rate. At the moment we have nothing.

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    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
