The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
The context to consider..possibly... Hawks had Glenferrie . Now I have mixed memberances of that place... but I did love the old suburban feel. [censored] of a place though. I get why they left THERE. Waverley undoubtedly better for them. Would it really be THAT much better for...us ? Just to get Admin all cozy ? Really 🤷

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
Ive given this some considerable thought. How much weight anyone should apportion... well... I understand the attraction of 'all under one roof' But do we simply go 'somewhere' because it might afford that ? Do we stay put until our preferred choice comes to fruition ? ( 🤔 if ) Context is both a wonderful thing and really the only metric. Waverley offers something.... and yet is very much a compromise. Goschs... certainly not ideal.... not totally unworkable either. But Gosch’s does provide something .. accessibility. The more I think about it the more Waverley is a pig in a poke. I can see why the Sqawkers left. In the classic vernacular...is Gosch’s 'broke' ... does it need fixing ? Ideal ? NO.. Broke ? No... it's effective. Thinking.....🤔🤔🤔 Do nothing 'cept push forward to Caulfield Just my 5c

It's a beautiful thing 'the closeness' .. by far the very best 'closeness' we've ever had !!

PREGAME: Rd 03 vs Carlton
Exactly. There's bound to be plenty of hits and misses this year. We did any number of things poorly but that can and will be addressed. To what result.... yet to see. Going to be interesting to see how we play . We can do nothing about the last result. We CAN do a lot of things better. Hopefully we do.

PREGAME: Rd 03 vs Carlton
Could substitute any number of players in that consideration. This is where we start to really understand the what and where of this new FD. Easy to tinker and caress when all's going well but real character and ability comes on display through adversity. Most of this team has real ability and CAN play good footy ( we do need some more players of a higher ilk but that's another discussion) but they didn't on the weekend... well not nearly enough, for long enough. Hopefully the coaches can attend to this with positive reinforcement of what was done well and work with that. We got knocked down.. we need to get up

PREGAME: Rd 03 vs Carlton
Interesting. A New coach wants/ needs the players to buy in,to believe to understand this requires resilience, patience and perseverance. Thats what is asked of the coach and fd. Now... you can't really expect players to buy in if the fd doesn't.. yes/no ? Only changes this week will be forced changes. Tmac for Disco. I expect the rest to remain pretty much the same. A lot of you lot are worry wart panic merchants. This year is about growing... not a flag.

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
Disregard if you will that this is just one game in. Actually, disregard the result. I'll be brazen enough to suggest we are at the start of a new era. I'm not disrespecting Goodie. He came , had a vision, had some very interesting ideas ( so much they changed the rules ...thats amazing really ) He guided his troops as we were under the realities that were and got us the best box of Choccies !! Thankyou. But we're here now and the club is different. Hence new era. Will we dance the dance again ?? 🤔🤔 I think we might. Not this year, nor likely next... but look out after that. I see something in this bloke.... I reckon all his charges see something, even seasoned gladiators feel reinvigorated. Viney's champing at the bit. All many of us felt for a long time is we have ability, some very decent talent on our list. Now, instead of 18 blokes defending, we've 18 blokes attacking !! We often comment about players buying in. King definitely has.. He's now a committed Demon. As ol Big Kev (rip) would say... I'm excited !!

He will be very much the 'quieter' achiever ... but am sure he gets that. A very astute acquisition

There is much to say about this. There are those who's only joy is to NAG ! Tbh a lot of the horsey set are right up themselves and can go [censored] themselves sideways Some in that 'field' are totally of themselves... To build MFC at Caulfield is not hard...truly There is a lot of rubbish debated here The problem is political... not about the build.

The AwFuL are a corruption of administrative delegation. They weren't always but have been for a long time. When old Ralphy Lane ceased influence it all went pear shaped. It's a club....just not one we're in 😞

Jeff White on Why Max is So Good
Excellent analysis. Thanks Jeff

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
My thoughts are similar. In reality ( well imho ) the imagery only really defined he had the ball behind the post line. But the actual deliberation is about where control is initiated... and that was before tge ball crosses the imaginary line of the back of the posts. This is a logical reasoning. That ought to have been a mark

Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
I think he has... but two things come to mind... nit always a clear path.... and he would be very aware that he's the new kid. He seems very keen on "team " things. He's not selfish. Possibly as he matures and grows into his part, he'll understand better when there ARE times to be that player,kick that goal. He's even now imho quite adept at not overreaching the moment. Hell, for a first game he's exceptional
