TRAINING: Monday 22nd February 2021
Oh dear, we're in for a hell of a ride with this one. The attacker quite clearly left his line to kick around the man on the mark, before he's moved. Should've been play on. 100%, games will be won and lost on this rule, and more importantly, it's adjudication (no, not interpretation, adjudication)

Numbers for Majak and Deakyn
The way we're going we'll probably have room for another 5 preseason pick ups before the cut off.

Manning the Mark Rule Change
The umps used to call out to the man on the mark 'back 2 metres' etc, but now they'll have to bring them exactly to the mark, as we know one step off that mark in any direction is a 50. So now it'll be back 2 metres, 1 metre right, further right, too far, a little to the left, inch right. That's it. Maybe we call it the JFK rule. Back and to the left.

Manning the Mark Rule Change
This has the potential to make footy unwatchable with so many 50m penalties, but the big concern for me is it opens up another option for umpires to influence results. For example if they give one team half a second longer before calling play on after the player has actually played on, the ball carrier will be off and gone. There'll be no stats on it so it goes completely under the radar. Of all the rule changes over the last decade, this one has me the most concerned.

I think the upside is too good to not have a look at. What if Weids has a poor year and we decide it's time to pull the pin? He's worth a look. Obviously there's more to it than that, some serious medical assessments would be needed and we've got poor form in that department. It's a tough question but I don't think the idea should be written off without a long hard look.- Patton allegations
I hope he doesn't follow the previous escape theory and jump off a bridge- 2021

Personally I'd be leaving a slot open for the mid season draft. There'll be more than one good player that slipped through the draft purely due to the circumstances. With half a season under their belt we'll have a better idea on talent.- TRAINING: Monday 14th December 2020
Thanks for your efforts Werridee, do you mind just checking again that it didn't go on to say ... However we do understand supporter sites such as Demonland offer a valuable service in providing additional information to our fans, and given the circumstances we'll endeavour to provide further information on our website, along the same lines of what's been seen on those sites. They may have forgotten to add that part.- TRAINING: Monday 14th December 2020

Hope he doesn't turn into a whipping boy, and get crucified on DL on a weekly basis.- Adam Treloar
Another crazy solution being considered is to actually apply the rules that are in place for all clubs, even Collingwood.- TRAINING: Wednesday 9th December 2020

Free kick against Trac for hands over the shoulder surely. Cut that crap out.- Punt Road redevelopment
It's quite possible the reason they haven't announced our preferred site, is that most of us will simply not like it.- Pre-PreSeason Training
