    Second (pipped) in the half-time Grand Final Sprint.

    I've been a fan of his since his debut (never saw him for Sandy) but the fact that he has genuine pace just adds another string to his bow.

    EDIT: Sorry, didn't see other thread.

    Quick off the mark too. It's not like he needed fifty meters to build up speed either. He and Garland are the two paciest big defenders around. Add a fit Jared Rivers and I can see plenty of up-side in our defence.

    It's ironic really - we've been waiting a good couple of decades for a collection of talented key position talls to match Garland, Martin and Rivers with Frawley and Warnock as back-up. Now that we've got them all we really need now is some class in the midfield, a dominant ruckman, an elite forward target, a shutdown small defender and generally some more speed on every line. Easy.

    Warnock back-up? I dont think so! He is first preference for Full-Back.

    Warnock, Garland, Martin and Rivers can all play in the one side. Back up is Frawley. I do think Garland should be tried as a leading forward though!

    Back up is Frawley.

    Let's see in 12 months.

    I'd like to see a replay. I thought his push-off foot slipped at the start, meaning he didn't get away well. He caught up fast, indicating he has great acceleration.

    This boy is the full package.....197cm, quick as a flash, and a 180 IQ.

    And here I am, the same age, 178 cm, slow as molasses and thick as a brick. Some people just have all the luck. :lol:

    But seriously, in around 3 years time, we will have, without challenge, the best back-line in the entire competition. God it'll be sweet.

    fark

    was on the finish line today and he was verrrrry quick

    It was the highlight of the entire day! Go Stef.

    Going forward we have the nucleus of a very good backline. Three talls are uaual played and we have Martin, Garland and Frawley all who are tall AND quick.

    Alsi we have some developing running half backs CJ, Petterd etc.

    What we need is a Ruckman, at least one more gun tall forward and a gun midfielder.

    Anyone know why he was wearing Robbo's jumper?

    Good pick-up. Perhaps Robbo's secretly retired and given his old #24 to Stef.

  • Quote

    That's probably it.

    I couldn't think of any other reason...

    the jumpers were probably recycled and they probably just gave the jumper to him on the day

  • Quote

    That also makes sense...because i'm sure they thought Robbo might've run...

    There are some smart coconuts on this forum, I tell you what. That makes sense.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
