How long until we see Davey, Jetta, Bennell, Woneamirri and Jurrah all in the same Demon lineup?

I dont think it will be too far off to be honest.

Exciting times ahead for all fans of the MFC.

interesting you didnt mention Wheels in that group of players. without enciting a riot considering where we are at as a side and the kids doing well is there a need for his return . turning 30 this year he will not be part of the next push . have we seen the last of him?

Thats cos Whelan is finished.

Good point Al, maybe when the season is all but over & all the bro's are playing a good brand of footy, the club may give Wheels a send off to remember with all the Bro's together. Hopefully at the 'G'.

Have you seen Jurrah play?

Jurrah is still a way off playing AFL.

Comrade YM. I don't know off the top of my head who 39 is - blame it on the young kids - but he gunned it all day. Biffinator
That would be Jetta.

When I said not too far off, I didnt mean the next fortnight, or even month.

But it will happen around mid season, or just after.

I have been singing Jetta's praises since before the season started and I can now sit back and say 'told you so'........I spoke to them at the Intraclub and walked away totally impressed..............they are both going to be very good players for MFC.

Any grovelling apologies from anybody who wanted him dropped after the first game will be gratefully accepted

I also spoke to Wheels at the post match function...........he is itching to get back, the last two weeks he has got a corky, told him to avoid opposition knees and elbows...........he is itching to get back.........and is cursing his luck............he loved Bennell's game...........he will be back.........and also once back he wants to play another year.........so will be fighting to get it...........great........

Jetta was super today! He looks so much like Leon Davis.

The thought of just Jetta, Davey and Wonnaemirri in the same team is quite good! :)

Posted

both boys were great today... my only concern over Jetta is his kicking, he does shank quite a few, shanked one massively today... but he has all the other tools to make it... work on his kicking and he'll be an effective target... once Aussie is back it will be a real test for him to hold his spot in the side...

I'm a massive Wheels fan, and hope he plays this season out well, but with Bennell showing us a lot so far, Grimes hopefully to show us a lot throughout the season, I think this will be Matty's last...

I really hope he can get fit, back in the Red and Blue and finish out the season strong... he deserves nothing less... and a farewell against the Saints at the G in Round 22 playing alongside our other aboriginal players would be a fitting send off...

Had a brief chat to Whelan when he was sitting with the rest of the Melbourne boys in the ponsford stand during todays game. He's ready to go and seems quietly confident he can re-discover some of his form. I think you're all forgetting that injuries aside, Whelan is possibly the best tackler in the team. And unless you guys were watching a different game to me, these young Melbourne bodies can't seem to make a tackle stick. Not for the time being anyhow. Id imagine with more weights and more pre-seasons they will become a better tackling side, but at the moment we need hard bodies like whelan.

You fail.

its time to learn to tackle, the role of back pocket specialist is a dying breed,

Moloney was ferocious in the tackle today.

Bennell is the most exciting of the new players for mine, he looks like he could be anything. Reminding me of Bruce.

:D

Whelan is a long way from done. Apart from the obvious ones, like Neitz, Whelan is one of our most important players of the 2000s. Not only that but he's one of the only mature-age leaders in the club who I rate highly. I want him in the side this year and next as soon as possible. Let him make his exit gracefully and while playing, then turn to the kids. While the defence has done well so far, they're not a finished product. Wrecker is, and always has been, the complete small defender, and just about our only one in the last 10 years.

This is why I'm not giving up hope. Aside from Green, and possibly Mcdonald, we lack leadership from older, more mature, heads. Whelan brings this to the team in spades with his intensity, work ethic and attitude.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
