After being forced by the AFL to sit through another Friday night match involving Colling%^&* I have come to notice a strange similarity between one of their players and one of ours....

A few years ago I only rated the Filth player as a once every 6 week freak, but now he is a solid little play maker with exquisite skills by foot...

Both players are looked for by their backmen to get the ball moving forward and in the hands of a team mate....

The kicks may only travel 20-25m, but each time they are perfect and straight on the other players [censored]....

They both travel forward and can kick the goals that spark their team.... Whether it be running flat out into the forward 50 or crumbing around the goals....

If you have not guessed already, I am comparing Aaron Davey to Leon Davis....

It makes me sick to find similarities between a beloved Dee and a filthy, commission flat Pie.....

But no $hit, they are fast becoming twins....

Just something I noticed last night that kept me from changing the channel :mellow:

You're not alone KJ. I would have said Neon's a little more sturdy around the hips, but other than that there are similarities with brilliance, flair around the goals. I like Aaron for his ability to evade a little more unpredictably, Neon, I suspect has a little more weight to shift...

Not a classic comparison, but one of the things I like is that I think everyone thought of Aaron as a flash-in-the-pan (excuse the pun) but like Leon he's showing the ability this year to bring consistency into his game. Likewise both players' abilities to become legitimate midfielders, despite many peoples' doubts...

Very true DD....

Neon is definately more solid in the hip area and I would say he is a touch slower than Flash around the ground..... But both players (as you said) are proving a lot of people wrong.... Very important play makers for their respective teams, and both have obviously been working hard on their game over the last few years....

Yup. Neon is one of the few Pies I actually fear n terms of matchups... And coming from a demons supporter, that's saying something.

IF they can both stay injury free they are easily Top 2 in respective B&F's.....

Davey to be challenged by Moloney

Neon to be challenged by Pendlebury

Funny, last night I was thinking about how Dane Swan is Brock McLean in a better team. For now.

Sylvia should be a Medhurst at minimum or even better. Right now he is not.

What's that got to do with the price of fish in China?!?!?! :blink:

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
