I just had a look on youtube on butcher and scully. For me it is scully by a mile, smooth silky speedy, his handballs are dynamite. Bucher does look good though, forward / ruck. Very good player too.

Given the fact that we may only win 3 to 5 games, we could get both. I guess the question is, do you want our team to win? I am sick of losing so i want a win at this stage of the year. (in a few months i might change my mind)

Once again the forbidden fruit (tanking) is on the table. People may say we wont win games because we suck, but i think we can scrap some wins.

For the rest of the season we play

Richmond twice

west coast home once

freo home once

To me if we lose this week we will not win over 3 games for the year.

Asuuming we dont win more than 4 games Pick 1 is ours..through Priority..even if we dont spoon it this year. Still, be hard to see how we wouldnt be there anyways..I digress.

We need effective midfielders...we need game breakers and we really dont have one. Macca is good..so is Moloney..but neither in the class of a Judd or Cuz in his day..Look where the Weagles got with those two !!! Imagine the Dees with a midfield of that calibre !!

with the likes of Jurrah and Watts coming into the side ably flanked by Aussie and Maric...we start to look the goods :)

stats for key forwards, i dont mind taking scully first as long as we have pick two aswell, it was only 4-5 years ago Neitz was getting doubled teamed. Blease and Strauss should help our midfield out when playing

Lets not forget Grimesy either. Sure he will start his career on a back flank, but he played the majority of his junior footy in the centre.

This would be our possible team as I see it this time next year...

Frawley Martin Garland

Grimes Warnock Rivers

Morton Jones Bennel

Green Watts Robertson

Maric Butcher Jurrah

Spencer Mclean Scully

i/c Bruce Strauss Moloney McDonald

emergency - Sylvia Dunn Jamar

You can chop and change if you like. You might prefer two ruckmen but we would have tall timber forward and back to help out Spencer.

What do people think?

aussie instead of Jurrah, only 4 talls down back, need small defender and running ball carrier, Davey not good enough?

oh left out Davey,Aussie, Blease...and Buckley...might create decent depth there. Blease mainly will be the least developed higher draft pick by the looks of things. Buckley well I don't think he is quite there.

Davey in hindsight should be in, probably for Moloney. Aussie for Jurrah is a fair call as well.

guys like Bell may end up trade bait, if we feel these high draft picks will make it.

The thing I like about this line up is PACE and foot skills !!

Each line has genuine pace with the last line being the fastest IMO:

each line also has someone you could argue as an A Grade kick.

revised team is

Frawley Martin Garland

Grimes Rivers Bennell

Morton Jones Davey

Green Watts Robertson/Jurrah

Maric Butcher Aussie

Spencer Mclean Scully

i/c Bruce Warnock Moloney McDonald

emergency - Strauss Buckley Jamar Warnock

That team looks seriously great.

Key ingredients:

- 5 extremely promising key backs (Garland and Frawley can take small and tall and provide run... Rivers the floater reader of the play ala Harley/Hodge... Martin and Warnock the 2 stoppers)

- 2 certain star key forwards (Butcher and Watts). This makes the world of difference. How would hawthorn by without Franklin/roughy

- some quality small forwards (Wona, Maric, Davey, Sylvia)

- some quality running defenders (Buckley, Grimes, Cheney)

The two area that need serious work is still the midfield and Rucks.

Midfield: Scully, Strauss, Blease, Morton will hopefully prove to be quality. Jones, Mclean and Moloney will be better players if they are the 4th and 5th best mids.

Rucks: We need to look to the draft! i'd even consider trading pick 17 for a quality young ruckman!

Add 2 quality mids and 1 quality ruckman and that's a team!!!

should that be blease on the interchange , you have named strauss twice

sorry copy and pasted that. it's fixed now.

You can throw in blease but who for...Davey? the captain ? possibly Strauss. I just chose to leave him out as he will possibly the last in the queue of this years draftees in terms of development.

Is this Tom Scully a classy inside midfielder or a classy outside midfielder?

He's been described by some as the complete package, however that may be getting a bit carried away. Let's see how he goes this year.

We should all look out for Dylan Grimes (jacks brother) playing for Northern Knights!

Scully will be playing school footy soon.

Butcher first Scully second if we have picks one and two.

West Coast could end up with priority picks as well.

And would rather have Butcher think he will be better than Watts.

So if we have 1 and 2 great.

But if we have 1 and 3 well butcher first then west coast can choose between Lucas and Scully and we get who they dont choose.

based on?

How often have you seen him play.

too much talent in that team, we need to try have Grimes, Strauss, Blease workd out before we leave them out. I also rate Buckley-and Sylvia after today

you can see with 2 top picks we can become a very very good side.

Far too early in the season to be answering this Rubbish. I actually enjoyed the sensation of winning last sunday. I DO APOLOGIZE! Fremantle will win far less than us this year anyway. They are total Slim Hipped Nancy's. The club is bigger than two Draft Pick.

Posted

We play WCE, Port, Richmond, and Freo at the G.

IF we win this Sunday I think we can say goodbye to that priority pick.

We will finish where we finish and deserve what we will get.

That is all.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
