Was he All Australian? he kicked 6goals in the BL 2's on the weekend just gone. I dont think Rockliff was touted to go as high as Panos

Rockliff lead the league in goalkicking at FF in the team that won the TAC cup grand final and in some phantom drafts (admittedly by nuff nuffs) he was predicted to go around the beginning of the second round.

Parallels.

I'm just making the point that some of factors being used to put Panos forward as a fantastic pick aren't necessarily indicators that he will go that early.

He doesn't excite me frankly.

    Not at pick 18? I like him cause hes already playing against men and I really just see him being somewhat of a David Neitz. Same Size Great Kick and push out to CHF.

    Rockliff / Parallels = Jake Loraine.

    Are there any more updates on Trengove Dee-man?

    I notice his team made the SANFL finals.

    Yeah has been playing fairly well.Last week in the last minor round he had about 20 possies & was named in the best,kicked a couple of goals also.Sturt finished 3rd so hopefully he gets to play a few finals games so we can see how he stacks up in big games.Quiet a few AFL players have come back to the SANFL sides for finals so he will be up against some quality opponents in the middle.Has been named on the HFF this week against CEntral who are the reigning premiers & Paul Thomas who was at Essendon a couple of years ago is starting on him.Thomas is Centrals captain so thats a fairly tough opponent on him so hopefully he stands up & has a big game.Good sign though when the kid starts a SANFL final against more experienced players,they must have some confidence in him.A mate at work is a Sturt member & loves the Saints.He has big wrapps on him & thinks he has a big future & was hoping he would last until the Saints pick

    Thanks Dee-man.

    Tell your mates there's no chance he'll still be there for St. Kilda's pick!

    Bit about Panos & Trengove.Panos has finished for the year as Norwoods season is over.Unfortunatly i think Norwood played some games with him in the end.They sacked there coach & things changed a bit a few rounds from the end.Panos was playing fairly well but then got put back to the Reserves along with Luke Jericho & Dean Terlich who came from the Swans.They bought up a few kids from the U/16s & played them,i think as a look into the future as they couldnt make the finals & they knew that Panos & a few others wernt in next years plans.He does get a few kicks out on the HFF & he chases & does a few 1,2s.hes good on the ground & is very smart,if hes not in the best possie he always looks in the corridor etc for a better target.He also seems to have a few handballs which as we know alot of FF dont do haha.Trengove played in Sturts finals tody & had over 20 possies i think as well as kicking 2 goals.The commentators couldnt stop talking him up & were saying that hes ready for AFL & is just such a natural footballer.Saying he always just has so much extra time & space like all the good MIDS do.They also rate him as a captain & say hes a natural leader.Sturt are playing again next week so will get back to you how he does then

    Sorry i didnt realy answer that to good.I would say that at least half his kicks & handballs come from chasing & crumbing as hes fairly mobile & good below his knees.I cant say if he gets more that Butcher as i havnt seen Butcher live but i can say that ive seen Panos get quiet a few guys holding the ball & dosnt mind tackling.1 game he chased down a Rover on the wing & caught him holding the ball,he passed to a player on the 50 line & then ran on & received before slotting through the goal from about 40 out on the boundary.Most games hes up around the 15 to 20 stat mark

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
