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.

Finger on the pulse GO?

He looked terrible.

This is going to go until 1am. FMD.

Laurie he's got an eye for goal what we need, clean and crisp.

We love our Rangas.

Jake Bowey mid/fwd you beauty what we need small fwd.

Here we go Dees?

What is the next options gurus?

Absolute friggen masterstroke by the Dees. In one day remove the last remnants of the dark years in Mahoney and bring in a known winner in Chocco Williams, i haven't been this excited in years. We are going all out it seems, hell bent on a flag(s) lots of knowledge, wisdom and Discipline in Chocco he looks very energized and appreciative of the opportunity to pass on his learnings in the game. Congratulations to the Board for handling it with such distinction.

Any records being shattered at the 1st day of training?

Absolute and utter disgrace to the game Collingwood, Mcguire and co. The bigot culture will always exist in the game of AFL when people like Mcguire and Buckley are still lurking in its corridors. This is usually the case inside institutions of power and authoritative figures within them. No filter and no accountability to authorities within the game, zero people to answer to. If these comments about Goodes and Lumumba were made in the NBA, NFL or English Football in today's climate, Maguire and Bucks would have been finished back in 2013.
