Was that at Ferny Grove mousey? I'm just interested because I live up the road! I saw an article in the local rag about him a few months ago talking him up as a possible AFL draftee and I must confess my first instinct was to think, "don't get your hopes up". Shows how wrong I generally am!

Yeah mate

ferny Grove Falcons.

Which i am not sure even exists any more last time i looked it was a big pile of dirt. Not sure if the storms were something to do with it

That's the very point I'm making!

Right... so ... you're saying ... because we didn't pick up any recycled players in the draft ... then that means we are tanking ..?

You know, a picture of a monkey for your avatar is quite apt...

Saw very good bios by Quigley (BF) where he not only describes upside but downside (his very personal opinion) of potential draftees - not afraid to speak his mind on some highly rated draftees.

Be warned it is very long but well worth the read

Interesting that I could not find James Strauss on Quigleys list

No joke. Our drafting was obviously directed more to a long term plan rather than a quick fix. There's no obvious attempt to cover deficiencies in the short term so we won't show much next year.

jeebus buddy your a negative prat aren't you

A much better view than the ridiculous and pathetic quip, "We've started tanking already!"

Dean is not stuffing around when he wants us to play run and carry football

This kid is a state champion cross country runner

Would be a nightmare to play on you'd just be yapping at his heels all day long

I love the fact he is singled out for his dedication also - the type of kid that might flourish now given a chance

This pick could end up being an absolute beauty I reckon

Been following Bailey,s old club Mt Gravatt and i can assure you this kid can play

Could be the SMOKEY in the whole draft

Obviously Spirit of the Demon bases his analysis on a player he knows NIL about

IMO a lump of coal that could turn into a diamond

I have a couple of good photos of bail but i cant upload them, any ideas. I get a message "upload failed etc, contact adminstrators"

Posted

Upload to a photo hosting site (imageshack.us, photbucket) and then right click the full image, click properties, and then copy the image location URL.

Then put that in between [ IMG][ /IMG] (without the spaces)

Thanks M2W but I couldnt do it. If anyone wants to have a go PM an email address to me and I can email them thru. They are reasonable shots of him playing, one taking a big grab.

that's what I like to hear

haven't heard a bad word about this kid and the fact he is considered absolutely top shelf in terms of fitness has me excited

like it or not, that's where the game is headed and Bailey knows it

Sometimes a picture can tell a thousand words, these photos look impressive from a demon fan point of view. Thanks for the pics M2W. He can leap and take a mark, and Bail looks to be very fit (ie an endurance type player). But thats about it. Nevertheless hopefully he is a 'real find' for the club.

It's hard to tell for sure from those pics, but he looks like he has a body ready for AFL footy. I imagine that so long as he's fit he's a monty for a run in the NAB cup. I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes.

I think it's more that you can make a picture tell a thousand words.

He may have dropped that mark, and I can't figure what's impressive in that second photo.

Will be interested to watch this one

I agree, in that people are drawing an extremely long bow if they think that photos give away anything about his footballing ability. He looks fit, and thats about all you can say. You don't need to take the negative side though either 45. God you really are a Spurs fan.

I think the pics are good. It illustrates that the boy has decent athleticism and is able to get off the ground and the second photo shows his physique. That is it.

I for one get jack of anyone who has a go at people who provide training reports and post pictures . I appreciate the reports and shots so please ignore the negative individuals and keep posting them. Thanks m2w.

It clearly shows his face, thats all. Good for a profile photo in a record or something.

You're reading WAYYYYYY too much into it.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
