Thanks so much Six6Six from those of us that couldn’t be there in person, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and your family as well.👍❤️💙💕

I’ve heard it all now Demonsone, I don’t blame CO for all the negative publicity or for any of his antics over the past 2.5 years, it was Simon Goodwins Fault for being Loyal to his Former Champions. Imagine if he had sacked him at the end of ‘23. 🤬

Personally as much as I hate the Magpies I would love to have Nick or Josh running around in the Red and Blue and let’s face it if you were soft you wouldn’t be playing AFL.

Thanks Startibartfast great to get your take on Friday’s session, love that Windsor is stepping up in the midfield also Kolt Trelley, XT and Harry Sharp. Sharpie has won every race and endurance event to date, maybe King has a plan to harness those crucial skills in’26 and beyond.

It’s been biting us on the Aaaarrze for 2.5 years PF and from memory you were strongly advocating “burning” the place down at the end of ‘24 when all the [censored] was flying around about CO and poor club culture.

When JV is fully fit he will always warrant midfield rotations, even if tagging but probably spend a bit of time forward or on the bench as we blood more of our young guns.

Ha ha ex-Swan Luke Parker, strange call.

Big thanks to Ghostwriter, Demonland, W_J, Harvey Wallbanger, all posters and special comments. I love the detail of the drills and whose involved DL and the player snippets GW and getting Kingy’s input is huge.🙌 Sounds like it was a very torrid session, in very warm’ish conditions how did the boys pull up?

Good luck JB wish you well.

If Disco stays on the same trajectory he will be awesome for us , funny but I have noticed that Disco and Luker Kentfield have similar tough looking body types, when you add in Langford, Culley, Taylor and Onley they have added a height advantage and all look like footballers. Here’s hoping that these six can all fire for us.

Or utilise the players we already have available, Langford, Windsor, Sparrow, Rivers, Culley, Langdon, Lindsay as well as Kozzie, Steele and JV, we have options and we must utilise what we have now not what we wish we had. Who knows what King and Co are planning but I’m sure it won’t be what we expect.

I am hopeful that our coaching group have a better handle on our players emerging leadership talents than we mere mortals on DLand. The playing group would also recognise the leadership potential within the senior and junior groups. Although I admired them immensely I thought that Neita, Jonesy and Vines all lead by example whereas non of the three had great communication skills. Max on the other hand has demonstrated that he has developed the necessary player dynamics and communications skills to lead the team to the top and also defend his teammates and his football club to a very high order. For me it is his as long as his teammates want him, in the meantime it is up to the players and coaching group to identify the onfield and budding leaders to hone their trade from the master.

I like your methodology Turner and given that Tracc CO and now Bowey are out of our top 12, who do you see replacing them?

He needs to be within the Club D_J to get the feel or “vibe” of AFL, he needs to build relationships with the playing group, the coaches, physios, dieticians work out in the gym and on track even whilst he is developing his trade at Casey. With Kalani’s pedigree, height and field and track record I would expect him to break into the team sometime in ‘27 at the latest.

Hmmmn just starting to get my attention with our boys plus our exe’s on show I will definitely be watching the game, how good for big Max to get a Big V as well. It will be bittersweet playing against Hoges, Jacko and Kysaiah in WA colours.
