Pick 1. Tom Scully VIC

Pick 2. Jackson Trengove SA

Pick 18. Luke Tapscott SA

Trengove and Tapscott are best buddies! Tapscott is a solid bodied medium forward (178cm but still growing). Craves to play midfield too I have read.

That would give us 3 players who could pretty much play Round 1. Other picks to be used on KP I would hope. And possibly lure an uncontracted ready made KP from another club with pre season Pick 1.

would love to have Tapscott.. but it is VERY unlikely he would drop to pick 18! I am pretty sure he will be a top 10 pick! :(

After reading this it really sounds like Morton is in it for the long run.

Good boy, Morty. But he's still just saying what the players are naturally going too. I want his contract negoiations cleared up.

Going by the versatility thing Bailey has going Trengove could be our man. IF Trengove as ive read somewere is a strong overhead mark and kick for goal we may not need a Butcher type stay at home forward.

We could develop a very versatile mobile forward line. Sylvia, Trengove, Davey, Petterd, Wona and Maric, can all play Midfield/roaming forward roles. Jurrah in what little game time he has had has shown he could run all over the ground. Watts, Morton and Martin could all provide tall mobile targets capable of pushing up the ground.

We could make it very difficult for the bigger full backs to find a match up against us. Whoever the traditional stay at home full back goes to just pushes further down the ground taking him out of his comfort zone. Meanwhile another forward can push deep taking his opponent deep and also out of his comfort zone.

Basically through rotating our forwards we can reshuffle their backline to the match ups that we want deep and run the bigger backs off there legs.

Well said, IMT. It's been said before, but very exciting times ahead.

Here is but a glimpse of the genius that is Tom Scully. Completely awestruck every time I view this clip. 0.52 brilliant kick on natural left. 1.48 look at that technique on his non preferred. And 3.59 just brilliant play.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
