I actually think he'll play better at AFL level where the quality of disposals are much better than at VFL level.

I don't think you've seen Melbourne play :lol:

I just like seeing guys debut on the G.

But yeah, he'd be close to a shoo in for next Friday I'd think, and I hope he comes in.

Watts and Jurrah in the forward line, exciting times! Grimes with the kick-in, delivers to Sylvia, plays on and runs up the wing with a couple of bounces, draws the man and hands off to Bennell, look at him go, has a bounce, looks to deliver inside 50 and Watts on the lead takes the mark 50 out directly in front. Davey is running past and Watts hands off, Davey sees Jurrah one-out in the square and Jurrah with a strong mark in the square goes back and kicks his first goal in the AFL what a play for the Dees and Melbourne lead 1.0 to 0.1 here on Friday-Night football.

I don't think its playing to Jurrah's strengths to just leave him one out in the goal square; he probably wouldn't win an arm wrestle at this stage.

True but given space and kicked to adavantage he would be hard to beat on the lead, as would Watts.

I think our forward structure will need a complete rethink if these two blokes are included.

I can't see him out-wrestling anyone's full back at this stage, but can you see any of those full backs matching him on the lead? From the little I saw on the TV a couple of weeks ago, he's lightning.

Our delivery into the forward line will just sit it on top of his head... He'll have no chance, play him on the flank, let him run around, just like he has for Casey. He hasn't been playing full forward for them...

Agree

His lack of body strength would give away his own strengths if played as a KP foward

As far as physique goes Watts is another example of a CHF waiting for his body to catch up

Royce Hart didnt start at CHF either

I hope he plays against the 'dons on Friday. 11 goals in 3 weeks means his form is good, and if DB is true to his word of picking the team on form, he'll be in, no doubt.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. He has to be a absolute dead set certainty. I'm going on Friday so I sure hope he does too !!

We know it's likely Miller will come back in and you'd expect Bennell and Jurrah too as well.

Selection is going to be VERY interesting this week.

Bradley is much maligned, he does however provide a physical presence that I think will make life easier for the likes of Watts and Jurrah.

Yeah, Japaljarri is posting on the Big Footy Melbourne Board. Seems to be suggesting it is a certainty that Liam will play on Friday night.

Will be interesting to see if Rudeboy has anything to add to this.

Sounds like Liam is in. Rock and Roll!!!!

A couple of friends of mine who were coming to a party this fri said they can no longer come because Jurrah who they did a lot of work with in the NT to get him over here is making his debut!

Great news!!!

Should be exciting...

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
