we got the dud draft pick.....

so far.

Watta will be ok...needs a rest at Casey. Media pressure has been great on him. He "will" show us what he is made of...Go Watta

So... ?

Naitanui

- days away from being taken instead of Kreuzer the preceding year

- played against men the last 2 years

- body much more developed

Watts

- one of the youngest bottom-age players taken in the last draft

- played exclusively against other schoolkids until about 5 weeks ago

- barely trained with the senior team to learn the gamplan

- body critically underdeveloped for competing with AFL KPPs

I'd be surprised if Naitanui didn't look a lot better at this stage.

And to be honest, he looked good, but not that much better.

Don't know about the word brilliant! He had a TOTAL of just 8 possessions, with only 2 until 3/4 time. Kicked 3 goals in the last Q, 2 of them being rather fortuitous or being in the right place at the right time. I still like our man Watts. Anyway, we will all be able to compare the two next Saturday when we play the Weagles at the 'G'.

I agree 100% he was able to snag a couple of goals in the last and if he didn't they would have been calling for his head. The goals he got were good but not miraculous.

With all due respect and dont take this wrong but the fact that his big bulky and really darked skin and with an outstanding hair cut, it makes every thing he does look better. But dont get me wrong he did some special things. But defo no regrets about watts.

I think in the long run Jack will be the more complete player but at the moment Nick just has that X factor so it's exciting to see and watching Hawthorn lose was also funny. But having said that he barely touched it all game until the final quarter, he only had 3 kicks all night and about 2 possies at half time.

Let's see how he goes when he's put on a player, and is asked to drill them from 40-50 out, for four quarters.

I prefer class over freakiness and so-called "X-factor". He may be exciting to watch in individual plays, but you wait and see how it feels having a player who can be relied on to kick 4 a game for you, or at least bring players into the game.

That's easier to market and more exciting than dreadlocks.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
