Sharp has been brought in to play the wing, releasing Windsor to the midfield.

Windsor is still lightly built, fantastic talent but not noticeably stronger than last season. I wonder if he is best suited to the wing still.

All I need to know is are we "training the house down" yet?

Ur kidding. Keep Windsor developing on a wing.. dont bash and crash him in the midfield, he'll be cooked in no time🤮

[Ugottobekidding 1,181]

I like Windsor on the wing. Sharp has to earn a spot... Wouldn't mind seeing him replace rivers down back and Rivers playing in the guts.

It’s so very predictable…preseason finally starts & we’re all (mostly) excited to read about the players ..coaches …anything really as it is a time for optimism after a couple of dismal years. It’s fantastic that we have posters who can get to training and give us their insights and opinions. But once again ..anyone who is different or purports to have some relationship with staff or players …out come the knives. I miss WCW & I enjoy Saty ..in fact I read every poster who has been to training & takes the time to post. I have never read a post where two people who have actually attended training criticise each other ?

I wouldn’t count 2023 as a dismal year. We finished 4th and then lost two finals by 7 and 1 point. The finals were disappointing but not dismal. Last year was a bit dismal, but still won 11 games with a lot of negative stuff going on.

That is an interesting "rumour", Andy won't change, 45 did belong to somebody who Andy respects, a lot.

Matt Jones?

Kolt is emerging as a young leader and/or spiritual leader in my view. Once he finds himself at AFL level that will only accelerate his influence on the group. Seems to have a love for the players and the club which will rub off on others

Agreed. Think he is the ideal Gus replacement in that way, the team glue guy.

Demonland is a haven for some to hand wring, disparage other posters and supporters

I am certain you don't see the irony in your post.

This will be confirmed if we do a pre game Hakka in round 1. 

Either that or they've been watching NZ Parliament

I suppose that's far, but if you compare him to someone like Trac who spent his holiday's training. They're miles apart in professionalism.

Don't forget Trac already had several months off though, different circumstances to Clarry.

I'm expecting Sharp to fill the Nibbler role. Bust a gut all day running up and down the ground, high pressure player, defensive forward as needed when not slotting goals. Chin will be a variation on that with maybe more link up play and creative forward entries 🤞

Irony....the use of to try and de crease the attacks by the small select but highly vociferous cohort on here who have an aversion to an opposing opinion/viewpoint.

Back on topic, discussed with Mr Windsor at the B&F the early comparison to Robbie Flower, told him to watch some vision

[DeeZone 9,673]

Wow the reporting and special comments have gone up several notches kicked off by Demonland and supported by Kev, WW, Great Sage, numerous other posters Plus Intel from Katrina & Ghost writer re: Tom Couch, etc. Really loving these threads so informative it shows the high footy IQ of the posters which is greatly appreciated. You know what I’m thinking but I won’t say it.😡

Jonesy back, Saty returning to his righful role of club cheerleader / demonland villan, and all lining up after the Dees drop outside the 8 for the first time in a while.  Feels like 2013 all over again 🥰
