Leigh Brown could be a handy short term (preseason draft) acquisition to bolster our forwardline for 2 years. Not sure of his age.

We need to take the pressure off our youngsters, while our young forwards to be recruited develope their bodies confidance & game.

i've got an awesome idea.

He's 22 years old so fits out age bracket perfectly. He's got great kicking skills which is what we need.

He can supply drive off half back which is what we lack.

His name is Chris Johnson.

Are you a fan of Chris's or not, I can't hear your tone.

You've stated nothing re Leigh Brown short term.

This year the PSD is very dissapointing

From OUR rebuilding position its even worse

Looks like a gap filler draft to me

I wonder how CJ would fit into this thread if this was another club's website

Now the clubs have done 99% of their delisting, we can actually look at the best options in the PSD. We can invite players to train with us and try to find the best option for the club

There are a few tall forward options now that we might consider.

Gourdis has been delisted by Richmond, he's a real athlete but a lot of work needs to be done on his football. Thoolan is a huge kid delisted by Collingwood and he's still only 18, 19 early next year. He's 195cm & 95kg, and that was measured at the start of the year. Couple of young options that we could consider

Rather than pickign up a delisted player I'd be more inclined to go after the best kid playing in one of the state level competitions.

Cousins.

Hell YEH!

Will we still suck with Beny, but he will bring more media interest to the club and show the kids how to play hard and party hard!

Massive selling point that one.

"Hey Kane, we don't think you are very good but selecting you was the only way we could keep Chris Bryan off the list."

"Now go introduce yourself to Brad Gotch - you're going to be seeing a lot of him. Hahahahaha!!!"

They probably could have left off the evil laugh at the end but AFL is an emotional game and it adds drama...and flavour.

Get a room you two!

Visualising and...

You're both very attractive...

Moving on...

Haha...

I played with Laidlaw before he was drafted.

Gun player but has been ruined by injuries.

We will have enough mids after the draft but he is a Melbourne boy, 22 and if he is over his injuries he could be a handy pickup.

Very much doubt we will pick him up though...

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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.
