I don't think this will hurt at all. Creative thinking not bad Dees??

Extremely rare Bitter, only car crash victims I've heard of.

No need to panic Demonland, keep calm and throw the big fella Petty forward, its his time to shine with Action and Tmac in support. Rather this happen now and we can plan for it rather than during the season where we would be well and truely fcukd.

All games to be played behind closed doors as per SEN.

Mal Meninga "ah that me done"????

That's what's got him in the end and Nike would have been at the front of the queue.

A great initiative by the Leaders of the club, this is what builds real culture and belief.

Love that sense of togetherness Chocco is bring to the footy club.?

Key word of the day is Consistent. Club hopes to finally address the cartilage damage in his left knee. #FMD

Hi 58er agree with you assessments, I am by no means an expert, don't claim to be, i also don't usually comment on injurys of this nature. Ben is a new player to the club with an existing injury, it's why I'm so intrigued as to his progress. So i see Ben didn't start with the 1-4 year players in December, my bad. I reckon i heard Adam Ramsnauskas on SEN saying Ben had been training from November onwards. Should have double checked this information. I stand corrected 58er. Wouldn't it be Norf responsibility to get Ben the best possible Medical advice on his knee while he was still contracted to them? Or was the relationship between the club and player that strained that Ben or Club didn't follow up with the correct procedures. Would be interesting to find out. Tmac will have a ripping year.

They sure f ing did.

BDA no pills need to be taken here perfectly chilled, Ben was obviously playing in pain last year with his output and season ending before the break right? So there might have been a risk of it flairing up in a game situation right? I'm sure the MFC we're all over it they might have missed something Norf's Docs might not be as thorough as ours. Did Ben get anything explored within the knee with Norf? Did he have any surgery or just let it heal naturally? Just some of the questions i would like to be answered. Injury Forecasting is a new buzz word in NBA which covers injury prevention, monitoring, recovery and planning might be ahead of schedule with my terminology. Just Frustrated would like all our players training together with no issues. Nothing's perfect BDA.

Ben has obviously been training in some discomfort for a couple of months now going on the amount of tape wrapped around his knee. Why wasn't a call made earlier to explore the knee in greater detail? [censored] poor planning and injury forecasting from the club, should have been onto it alot earlier than this week. Surely there was a touch point plan in place that if Ben was training in discomfort after the new year it he would have a clean up. Would have been wise to explore the knee if it was still flairing up after the first week back? wasted a month for no good reason. Won't see him till around match day 6-8 everything going to plan. Won't hold my breath. #FML

An average footballer who made millions as a matter of circumstance rather than talent. Would have been a decent endurance runner at the olympics.

I think chocco's impressive yellow footies my be the difference this year. Im loading up on the Dees.

The presser was an absolute disgrace, gave the impression they were actually unveiling a new project of sorts. Laughable.

Exactly why Eddie is resigning at the end of the year, might even come quicker. Buckley will follow him both may even go at the same time.

What a magic review of training today, could go down as one of the all time great training reviews completed under extremely inclement weather conditions. #perfection ?

R.I.P Mark, love to your family and look over us all from up above. May peace be with you. Dees Forever.

Pencil us in for 2 wins at Marvel, dead set specials at our fortress.

I know this is a Sam Weideman thread but as promising as the Weideman/Brown combo was in 2020, Tmac still has a big say as to who plays key position in 2021.

Who has the coaching titles amongst every position at the club? Defence? Midfield- Yze Forwards- Rucks-? Are they keeping it quiet for a reason?

Merry Christmas too all on Demonland, nothing but good wishes and blessings to all. Loved reading all contributions on the site and look forward to the twists and turns of the 2021 season, covid free hopefully. Stay safe and be kind to one another over the festive season.

How can i be making this stuff up? Didn't they play under Mark Williams? So they didn't make their names under his tutelage? The Burgoyne Brother were premiership players under Chocco and according to you had nothing to do with their development. Daniel Pearce was actually a promoted from the Rookie list so he must have had an influence on his career you would think CF. Your kidding yourself CF. Have a think about what you say before you go posting champion.

Has developed and nurtured Peter and Shaun Burgoyne, Daniel Pearce and a couple others through his time a Port Adelaide. I would say there would be more at GWS and Richmond for sure.
