More travelling sideways as he learns a new craft, tagging the very best players in the league. I don't think Adam Cooney would think he's stalled

This thread is some kind of joke right?

For the sake of all humanity, can someone please confirm this is a joke!

Why would it be a joke? Do you not think he has added value to his name with his decent form in the last couple of weeks. I am not saying he should be traded i am just saying that his value would of increased. No Joke!

Hey look we agree, don't that feel good!

I'm glad I could bring you blokes together. :lol:

Fair enough. He has done some good tagging jobs.

Now we all agree, hell, it's turned into a lovefest here on Demonland.

I stated that CJ was soft because he has demonstrated on numerous occasions a propensity to shirk contests in the air and on the ground. Once a player has shown this side of their makeup it's a long way back for me. Granted his attack on the ball has been better of late, but I'll not easily forget what I consider to be major flaws in his football character. When the heat is really on in a final what sort of performance is CJ going to give his teammates ?

i'm sure you have seen, as i have, cale morton pull out of contests, but that is ok because he's younger and smaller than c.j? i understand the difference between finals football and home and away, but that does'nt mean every player on our list has to be as hard as nails. i have seen plenty of soft players have a major impact on finals (eg.michael long) who have done so because they have SOME hard players around them. i just think c.j is just now starting to adjust to the tempo of the game and feels comfortable, so who are we to stay his development stops here? lets judge him 12 months down the track rather than 5 weeks after he's started playing good footy.

btw, i have seen bradley, long etc pull out of plenty of contests. when long used to stick his leg out into an opponent to avoid contact, was as weak as shirking a contest imo, and he used to do it all the time.

There's no doubt that he needs to eradicate that aspect of his game as he gains confidence and physically develops. I cut him slack because he's a first year player and a far better footballer than CJ.

If he's doing it in his 3rd and 4th years I'll be dismayed. The credits don't last forever.

agreed, and i cut c.j some slack because he is obviously taking longer to develop than most. c.j had the size from day one at the club, but the confidence has come in the last 5 weeks. if he melts the first time the heat is on, i'll tilt my hat to you.

he's not a midfielder he's a running half-back flanker

i'm not saying he will be a gun, but he well might, at the very least I think he can deservedly and competently hold down one of the HBFlanks for a long time to come

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
