has something positive to say, and any of the guys that might be in doubt to be at the club next year, he's mentioned in reference to how they're going to go next year.

We'll be using Sean's really interesting assessments as the basis for our daily player assessments starting with Simon Buckley - feel free to post your thoughts on the individual player threads and please keep it civil and constructive.

I like the JMac one, which I reckon kind of reflects on some of the others. Saying that he's a perfect example of what to do when you don't have the footy. Perhaps it offers a bit of insight as to why he was retained? Maybe the off-ball efforts of many of our youngsters are viewwed as not good enough?

Yeah they are keeping cards close to their chest. Although to be that positive about Batram i cant see him being delisted unfortunately.

He's just gone in for another hip operation and he will have a limited pre-season.

A bit concerning

Interesting comments about Danny Hughes, looks to be in the clubs plans long term.

If you were to judge from that article who would get kept/promoted we would have 46 players on our list and Scully and Trengove would be going to Richmond and Fremantle respectively.

Everyone got a good review.

Not the best photo of Matty Bate btw, looks like a user. Just in that photo though :rolleyes:

Let's face it, the Orange Roughy isn't the most photogenic bloke going around in the first place (but yes, I agree, not flattering at all)

I noted this too .... hopefully its just a sign that they are going to say something good about every player.

If the whispers are right that Hughes was going to sue them unless he got re-listed this year - they'd be pretty careful not to say anything negative about him -

I heard vague whispers of this too, but on what grounds would he sue them? I just don't get it.

If the whispers are right then id say you don't know what your on about champion. Hughes is going to be an explosive legend-you wait. And stop listening to the whispers.

True, but I think that's because such a large number of our young +/- fringe players have showed something at some stage, but it's too early in their careers to really tell exactly how big their upside is, and how close they're going to come to fulfilling their potential. The only exceptions to this are contracted until end 2010.

Could this be evidence that, on the whole, the FD is pretty much satisfied with our current list (again, allowing for those contracted till end 2010)? I think that our first 3 picks are going to give us everything we want out of this draft. We may end up not using even our pick 34, mainly because all of our current fringe youngsters would be a better bet for the future than pick 34 anyway. And the PSD is a lottery. We may have done more or less all the delisting we need.

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.
