good head on him as well.

very good athlete and a big unit. exciting player. didn't realise he was so quick.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
