Thanks dazzledavey36 but can’t see contents.

Got mine this morning. yayyy.❤️💙👍

As many as we can get. Lol.🤣🤣

I must admit that Bo Allan is really starting to grow on me will be disappointed if we miss either Langford or Allan now.

The dollar boy, Hogan and Jacko have scarred us for life.😢😪

Todays Training reports kicked off by WayneWussell, Winter Dan, Ditcha, Fritta and Turner, Roost it, Katrina and Ghost Writer, Kev plus all other posters has been another fabulous feast of footy information and pic’s as well. Loved every bit of it and distracted me from fretting about the Draft.

Very hard to sum Max up in a few words we watched the 2021 prelim against the Cats the other night when Max had his biggest night out ever, 5 goals from a ruckman in a Preliminary Final, the joy the happiness the sheer brilliance of the man.👍💕

JT has stated that this year it is best available, not looking at specific roles to fill.

That is a super effort, we will be scratching to make our 30th in two years time. Lol.!!

Received an email from Aust Post that it’s on its way, today or Tuesday.👍😁

You maybe correct Turner but my ratings are based on my personal thoughts and maybe hopes but I will be very surprised if we don’t get more hits than misses.

Yes like your format Willys Warriors certainly shows our strengths and potential weaknesses, I was really just trying to Quantify our list. Notice that I missed McAdam hope I’m not subconsciously removing him due to comments on the training thread.😳

I’m looking at this side a bit differently- A+ - Gawn, Petracca, May, Pickett A - Lever, Oliver, Viney B+ - Fritsch, Salem, Langdon, Rivers, Sparrow, Petty, McVee, JVR B - Bowey, Melksham, Windsor, Chandler, TMac, Tholstrup C - C+- Turner, Spargo, Howes, Billings, Moniz-Wakefield, Sharp, Woewodin, Verrall Then - Campbell, Jefferson, Laurie, Brown, Adams, Seston, Hore, Fullarton, Kentfield. I’ve missed a couple but I fully expect our younger players to step up in ‘25. We have another 5 players to come in potentially and I put no ceiling on any one of them, actually hoping that 5 & 9 are ready to play Round 1. As mentioned in a number of posts injury is our enemy so we need our share of luck and good fortune.

It may take a little while for things to get back to normal, Tracc needs to re- integrate with the team and the team need to reset the chemistry. The injection of new talent, new coaches, amended game plans and the improvement in our 1-4 year players will help the team meld together and bring some real happiness and joy back for us supporters. Nathan Jones could play a big part in this process.

Great story W_J, he also lead 76 Sqd at Milne Bay after his Sqd Leader ( Turnbull) was killed whilst straffing the enemy, a combined force of Aussies and US troops stopped a Japanese Invasion force in their tracks, inflicting so many casualties that the Japanese were force to evacuate their marines, first time they were stopped during WW2 and 76 Sqd played a huge role in the victory. I was there in 2016 and stood on the runway where Bluey flew from. What a man.💕

So good to have Nathan Jones back at the club he has had time to get over his hurt, he has had a spell in the Media, watched lots of games and would have his own ideas about game plans, midfield strategy and how to inspire his midfield group plus he has Sam Radford in his corner who has years of experience developing teams. Not to mention his 306 games, that puts him up with the legends of the game plus a multiple Bluey Winner. Looking forward to seeing the midfield changes in ‘25, welcome back Champ.

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.😡

Mercure Resort, we stayed there in 2022, the team stayed there as well but that was a fluke not planned. They have a great restaurant as well. It was a great stay.👍

Looking forward to seeing Kozzie back out there doing what Kozzie does kicking goals and running opponents down, with the A Team back plus and a lot of young energetic and skilled players bringing the ball in quicker and smarter.

The Kolt getting around the Champ showing the love.

Well No.31 that is why we warmed to you in the first place you obviously associate with our colours and wish you had been born into a demon family Or have strong links to Ronald Dale Barassi .😁

He was a high performance trainer for US tennis player Danielle Collins circa 2019-2022, Playing Coach for Nth Launceston in 2017, played 3 Games for MFC as a Rookie in 2012 won Casey Scorpions B&F and came 2nd in Liston Trophy same year. Asst midfield coach Carlton AFLW team July ‘23, also DeLa Sal GM around that period as well. 15 years in high performance, really hoping this happens, no nonsense coach Son of Paul Brownlow Medalist.

Thanks Demonland great reporting loved the detail and if the Tom Couch news is correct I am rapt, also another well credentialed Dee coming home to roost.

Get along to Marvel, it’s a home game, easy to get there, as 31 pointed out easy access to food and drink and viewing is pretty good. Car park is useful if trains/ trams aren’t convenient. We will be there supporting our boys. It’s a hell of a lot closer than Alice Springs and I would much prefer playing at Marvel than interstate. PS( 7 interstate games and three of those are in Adelaide, our best run for a long time, thanks LH😁)

Another year like this one please JV, should be a couple of extra stars in the team to lighten your load Jack, looking forward to you and Jonesy stamping your seal of approval on on our younger brigade.
