Just go out and play, forget outside noise and stay focused There will be peaks and troughs throughout, but trust the group around you and be team first in everything we do. If we stay fit, perform to our best and see improvement in our 20-50 game players we will be in contention

There always that one person who brings logic to try and destroy a myth Away with you, do you not realise posters on here know otherwise. Unfortunately to many can’t see intricate changes in front of their eyes and wish to fabricate Chinese whispers as gospel

Darcy hadn’t signed when they started chasing Jackson

They have no big bodied mid as evident by their struggles in midfield last season without Mundy. Whilst Brayshaw and Serong are very good mids they ain’t the midfield bulls Mundy and a fit Fyfe are. They have no small forwards with an aging Walters along with losing Henry and Schulz. you have no idea what standard SVR is I doubt you have seen him play. They have taken him and Voss on board to train all summer along with Dan McKenzie as the players who they see as the best available talls who come a lot cheaper as back up because with Jackson, Darcy, Serong, Brayshaw all on big money and Amiss going to command big money throughout his career it ain’t happening

Really, they have Jai Amiss long term who will be a gun and other holes to fill across the ground before getting tied up chasing JVR

I expect moving forward their ruck forward combo is Flynn and Bailey Williams,. Midfield depth is what they will look to build on in their list build Yeo, Reddan, Shuey all to be replaced, Sheeds body isn’t great outside run in the old Gaff, Masten and Darling/Kennedy replacement to partner Oscar Allen all needed although I do like the potential in Jack Williams. don’t think English will be as big a target for them as he was in 2022 Could be wrong but just MO

I’ll stand corrected on McEvoy but certainly a bit of a wasted pick for the Saints, traded him off for a pick in the teens and Shane Savage. However I think it backs up my point, and whilst drafting in hindsight is easy Saints could have taken Mumford who went as a rookie and any of the players left on the table in place of McEvoy, namely Dangerfield, Cyril Rioli, Robbie Tarrant, Alex Rance, Easton Wood, Scott Thompson (would have been handy in the 09/10 backline), Callan Ward or Cale Hooker

Learn from other clubs over a sustained period and ourselves with Gawn and Jamar, none of Nankervis, Cameron, Pyke, Bliczavs, Jordan Roughead, Dean Cox, Jolly or McEvoy were high draft picks. Most are either late, rookie or cheap trade pick ups

Only just back running after a full year out of footy, hopefully BVR gets some games under him this year

Take emotion out of it and from a football perspective explain how it makes sense?

I think the Village has a new id10t

Thanks to all track watchers for the detailed reports

Thanks for the training report PF, much appreciated

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

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

Every players height and weight gets done from development through seniors and done every season

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

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

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

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

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

Don’t ask him a football related question It would be like asking Ivan Milat on how to boost tourism

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

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

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
