  1. Take emotion out of it and from a football perspective explain how it makes sense?
  2. I think the Village has a new id10t
  3. Thanks to all track watchers for the detailed reports
  4. Thanks for the training report PF, much appreciated
  5. How is it risky, across the ground you’re open to being involved in a collision by way of a deliberate bump, friendly fire or accidental contact. If you’re passed fit you go where best suited. We’re not talking a short time after incident
  6. Rivers, Nev Jetta, Stephen/Matthew Febey, Woewodin (was moved on), Petracca, Neale-Bullen and I could go on but basically we can throw anything in to provide an alternative view
  7. Every players height and weight gets done from development through seniors and done every season
  8. It happens in the WAFL weekly footy Budget only the male listed players across all grades have their weight published the female players don’t it’s height only
  9. I don’t think we’re a lock, we need a lot of improvement in speed of ball movement forward entries and separation clearance and cbd spread staying healthy is also vital
  10. Agree I have loved him from day 1 and believe he’s seriously underrated by non Demons. However I have no doubt with the knowledge the club has regarding Clarrys personal matters, planning will be very much based on scenarios where he isn’t in the line up. We’re better with him but 1 player doesn’t make a team especially when you have virtually an entire preseason to plan with him not being there. If Clarry plays it’s a bonus and I’m very much a person who doesn’t worry about who I haven’t got and worries about who I have got. Players and coaching staff I would think will have the same mindset
  11. Yes he is saying that even though it was well known Goody engages with the players from the bench whilst Yze took the reigns and called the shots from the coaches box on match day
  12. The WAFL equivalent of the Football Record “The Budget” only publishes the weight of the League, Ressies and Colts players the WAFL Women’s senior and Rogers Cup (Colts) players do not have their weight published
  13. Don’t ask him a football related question It would be like asking Ivan Milat on how to boost tourism
  14. Okay just remember your place, leave the knowledgeable to discuss what is happening onfield and you can continue to wallow in your miserable MFCSS world. Then again it was you calling for Goodwin to resign last season after our loss to Carlton. I have no doubt you have never had to plan for a footy season and ride the highs and lows it brings whilst accepting and acknowledging how hard flags are to win and having that mindset that if everything goes right you can win it. You curse things and go through everything mentally what you did and didn’t do but you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater and you certainly don’t fail to acknowledge progression in developing players and continuous list improvement
  15. Because it provides a narrative for Footballing journalists to discuss and fill content Nothing else FFS they closed the Cats window more times in the last decade than the Montague St bridge
  16. Don’t expect the rest of us to be as narrow minded as yourself and others. Theres a difference between being disappointed and being angry when there are things beyond your control which have massive impacts and don’t even think of going down the Grundy line with regard to matters within our control as it would have had zero impact on our forward structure in those finals. The supporters you accuse of not being angry enough are the same supporters you accused of accepting mediocrity when they brought to yours and others attention numerous times what was happening with the development of the team. They told you a lot of luck in terms of everything going right is needed to win flags and we had that in 2021. What occurred in the proceeding 2 seasons is to do with human nature, luck and learnings. Yes that word everyone hates Learnings, we started 2022 like a house on fire and fell into a decline, but let’s be honest what were to expect having gone in as reigning premiers for the first time in 57 years. But you want us to be angry that they couldn’t foresee that and that they couldn’t foresee the Petty, Fritsch and Melksham injuries. But then again that’s me making excuses and accepting mediocrity as opposed to being a realist
  17. Things are never as good as they seem and (despite what many on Demonland will portray) things are never as bad as they seem. It doesn’t take much to impact your chances coming in to finals as we’ve seen in 23 and sometimes taking a step back or injury to a key player nets you a piece or two in the jigsaw or exposes a player to greater responsibility which after a while creates what came only a few seasons ago That is why it’s a fascinating game
  18. Funny people have different views on games, I was surprised on the day he won it. He turned the ball over numerous times though, his run off half back was eye catching but after re watching that game a few times I haven’t changed my mind he’d be 5th at best in my BOG that day 1. McRae - every disposal connected and set up transition. Super clean all day and composed with ball in hand 2. Boyd - best big man on the ground impacted aerial contest all day by clunking or bringing the ball to ground and impacted the scoreboard 3. Kennedy - was just a contested beast, close to the best stoppage display in a GF, virtually turned the momentum himself in the second quarter 4. Picken - kept bobbing up as half forward providing pressure and hit up option whilst also impacting the scoreboard 5. Then JJ
  19. Great to have you aboard. I am originally from Tallaght and we immigrated to Australia when I was a child, although I spent several years living back in Dublin in the early to mid 90s. Played GAA for Thomas Davis and worked in Firhouse, Dundrum and other places so know St Endas, Ballyroan, Delaney pub, Club Sarah, Yellow House Nutgrove etc very well
  20. Yes did it a few times, remember one time I did it in December with deep snow when I was a kid, nearly ended up with hypothermia. Few hours in front of the fireplace when I got home to thaw out
  21. Big thanks S6S, great photos. Woey and Rivers both look in extremely good condition
  22. Hellfire Dub ? With a username like that where are you from
  23. Shane’s brother Dallas is one of the most talented players you will ever see, but unfortunately just lacks the commitment and some off field stuff impacted him. I know Claremont put a lot of work into him but it wasn’t for him
  24. 44 is young to me Thanks to you and WCW for the training reports
