Obviously didn't give any indications on who he'll take with 1 and 2.

Trengove. Great skills, Great decision maker. Plays like a man's man and a leader. Grows an extra leg when it gets hot.

Morabito. Much taller then last interview. Described as strong, fast, booming kick and maybe a young Matthew Pavlich. Could become a KPP.

Dustin Martin. Top 5 in best kicks and decision maker. In his opinion, probably the best kick and decision maker. Described as strong and very quick off the mark.

John Butcher. Could be one of those players who hasn't realise how they can use their 197 and big frame to really tear games apart. A lot of big players take time to develop that.

Gary Rohan. Got everything that excites. Fast, good skills, good leap and mark, good decision maker.

he really didnt give much away as far as pick 2..

i actually got the impression from his interview that they definitely arent leaning towards Butcher!

Agreed although nothing was actually specifically stated it left me with the belief that we wont take Butcher. It also left me thinking that Martin could very much be in the mix at 2 which I had not considered until now.

he did say,,,'we look at the players over 5-10years and how they fit within the club...not just to address the need for a big forward'....

he didn't really give much away...had some good opinions on players..as mentioned above.

I am very happy Martin in the mix. I have mentioned him a few times in various threads without much positive response, considering his Vic Country game and his form for Bendigo he sounds as good a prospect as any of the other potential No.2s touted.

Agreed. Harrington didn't give anything away... and they will protect the names until draft day..

But the comment re: Morabito has me swaying from Trengove to him, if they see him as a potential KPP, Pavlich type then we could have a very explosive player on our side.

Appears to be alot more skillful than Butcher and if he can move into the midfield when required that would be a huge asset...

I get the impression Butcher will not be in contention for our second pick come draft day.

I favour this scenario:

1 - Scully

2 - Trengove

18 - Rohan (if still available)

But the prospect of both Morabito and Morton running around at the same time is exciting.

I got the same impression too chooko. He said that when he went to the ground yesterday, he had a big interest in one of the players (guess who). I took it to mean that Butcher is becoming less and less likely to come to the Demons, as Harrington wasn't concentrating much of his time on him.

tom scully was best for Dandenong... but butcher didn't get in the best or kick a goal...This is the game he went along to yesterday.

Dandenong 12.17. 89

Gippsland 10.15. 74

tom scully is a monty for #1

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
