Firstly sorry for the extensive workload you are doing.Secondly many thanks for doing so. I seem to be getting as many as before. It is irriating however we can put up for it. On my current thread I have just responded to a member and called him a jerk. I meant it- I just hope it is acceptable because I do not want to create or gain more problems regards John jayceebee31

jayceebee31. We had no problem at all with missing out. The club is entitled to structure its training as it wishes. There are important reasons for conducting beep tests - all clubs are continually assessing the progress of their players and this was obviously the appropriate time to carry the tests out. The good thing was that there were people there from the club keeping the small crowd of Demon supporters informed as to what was happening and when the players were expected to return so we weren't kept in the dark at all. Anyhow, I got to see very little of the training because we had to leave for an appointment elsewhere. I did manage to catch a sight of Luke Tapscott limbering up. When I saw vision of him playing for North Adelaide in a SANFL final my concern was his heavy set build, particularly the big calves which suggested possible weight problems down the track. I hope it's not my imagination but he looked a bit more chiselled and showing the benefits of the training regimen at elite level. This is in line with comments I am hearing to the effect that the club's preparation of its players is becoming more and more professional and we are finally catching up to the big name clubs. BTW it's part and parcel of that professionalism that requires the club to make the development of its players the # 1 priority and we should be thankful for that and not complain about little things like the players doing their part of their training elsewhere. In the end, hopefully it will translate into a more successful club and that's what IMO really counts.

Ruddy hope so-I think he could develop into a star.

You are just one complete smart / arse AND IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I WAS CORRECT. However, I surely wish I wasn't.I'd prefer to have all our list right and ready to go. I am sick of loosing.I want to be able to put our best team on the park and in particular at the start of a season.You just seem to want to sit back and pick on anyone - you are a jerk. Furthermore, may I say at the start of 2008- we played Meeson because we had no other ruckman . Now we only have Martin. Don't you think something is wrong with regards to out football department/ Doctors.Furthermore, Wonaeamirri is still not right- it has taken now 12 months - how long do they need. No other football team is so pathetic as ours are in this regard.
