Why, on this forum that provides an incredible source of information ( I still remember the excitement I felt when I found DL over 10 years ago) do people insist on deriding comments made by contributors like Ghost Writer.  Her insights along with a few (very few) others provide the tangible fuel that keeps this place valid.  Remember that she is the one that committs to attending training sessions, reaching out to players and generally immersing herself in the club and is then generous enough to take time to post on DL.  That alone is far more than can be said for almost all of the rest of us.

My point is this; you may not agree with everything she says but my goodness her reporting comes from a more reliable place than most of our opinions.  I don't know Ghosty but by jingoes I want to thank her for the work she does for our great club and this forum!!

Hope Judd does stay. Probably our best user of the footy. Doesn’t get the credit he deserves outside of our club which means I think we would get unders for him. 
I’m not as across players wages but given he was on the rookie list I’m assuming he wasn’t in massive coin. It’s time for his agent to earn his coin and get Judd a good deal- if he gets offers on the table from the WA clubs it pushing up what we will have to pay to keep him. 
 

Agree. He deserves to be rewarded.  A great JT rookie pick who has exceeded all expectations!!!

Dagnabbit ya got me. I guess the jig’s up.
I don’t know Koltyn Tholstrup at all. I made the whole conversation up. I don’t know why I’d make it up but clearly I did since it’s the most outrageously unbelievable, otherworldly, unfathomable, mind-blowing, inconceivable suggestion that that conversation took place; why, it’s stuff of fantasy.

Just let them go through to the keeper GW.

Playing shots just keeps encouraging those frustrating balls just outside off.

Play at 'em and they'll keep putting them right there and you'll eventually get out.

WoK just because you think something doesn’t mean that you have to say it, casting aspersions about conversations that you didn’t witness is just plain hurtful and unnecessary.

Mate, just think about it. Why on earth would Kolt say that to a supporter about another player, in the same week his contract is spoken about on the forum. And if Kolt, as a 1st 12 mth player, is actually saying that about other players and their relationships to supporters at a training da  he needs to pull his head in. Play it through in your head. 

Seems like a fanciful fairytale to me. I might well be wrong but I bet even you doubt I am.

The poster knows these players and they know her. They’re young and enjoying life. There’s absolutely no reason why they wouldn’t tell her what’s going on. You know she’s struggled with the overt criticism so just let it go. It’s not a sheltered workplace but you’ve got to understand you’re making it unpleasant for her. Maybe ask yourself what you’re getting out of trying to put her down? It just makes you a bully and a total tool.

While there's a whole debate about supported employment for people with disabilities, using "sheltered workshop" as a put-down is pretty low. Even for you.

If you doubt what any player might have said,  why not go to a training session yourself and prove the point,

Then you might have a basis for any comments,  otherwise you should take them on face value.  Same as everyone else has to do,

I'll tell you why certain posters undermine her and try to cast doubt on her. It's quite simple. They are jealous. GW puts in the hard yards but also - and I have never actually met her - quite clearly has an open, generous nature, and so  the players like her and talk to her. Some posters, we all know who they are, don't have those relationships and never will. They also aren't liked on this site. So they backstab, carp, make snide comments, and disparage whatever she says. They don't have her relationships so they don't believe, or pretend not to believe, that she could have them either.
 

It is pure jealousy.

Your manner is insulting, you question a much loved poster, you make disparaging remarks and play the victim. 

You are the problem here.

Why not step back for a while and grow up.

It might have something to do with the fact that they've only been here for 2 seconds.

    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
