For those thinking of staying home to watch, I urge you to reconsider. Coburg always have a very sizeable contingent of loyal fans at home games. I know it's not like a big afl crowd, but when our boys get on a run it can be difficult to stop with the fans behind them. Add the cousins contingent to the equation and you will find a very intimidating atmosphere come tomorrow arvo. Anyone who can make the trip down to support the boys would be doing them a great service. You can always tape the game and watch it again later. As added incentive, they have great BBQ hot dogs and really good ham and salad rolls plus decent coffee if the weather is cold. And how could you miss the messiah's first outing? Plus it's always nice to get the suburban footy feel (which Coburg city oval has in spades) and also get up close to the players and listen to the coaches at the breaks.

newtons playing pretty good.

Why couldnt he kick like this last week.

Watts has been good when near it.

our best so far id say valenti

Newtons first half would make him a definite next week. Ran hard took marks and kick goals. Watts looks great when his had his hands on it aswell. Dees players look good.

The poor kicking skills of the VFL listed players are killing me. Not that I should care, but I want Watts to get more opportunities!

His first goal in particular was class. That he firstly took a mark against 6 players, and that he then had the quick reaction time to play on (although it was clearly a mark) and kick across the body, was just great. He can truly play both tall and small, which is pretty rare for a forward.

Whelan is also way WAY too good to play at this level (his damn body is a curse), and it's great to see Bail and Grimes getting into the game.

McNamara, having never seen him before, is quite impressive. Has great speed. Mind you, we've got so many tall defenders at the moment, it would be better if he was played as a forward.

Newton has found his level. That is his comfort zone, and he cannot apply himself to a higher level of skills/speed.

Plenty of good VFL players never made the transition. He seems to be one of those.

Agree with most of that watts really hasnt had a decent kick inside 50 to him.

Although i havnt seen much of grimesy hasnt done to mcuh.

I hope he comes ino it this next half.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    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.
