Yeah Blease and Strauss are the real bonuses for us for 2010. Basically means we will have SIX top-20 picks who haven't debuted yet for 2010!

Well he did dominate the 2s of casey, but when playing with casey he took a while to get going a think he had a minor injury before his shoulder.

Though he showed some great signs, i remeber him running from halfback and kicking a goal from 60 out after dodging players and linking up.

Hopefully straussy and blease can get a ripper pre season going!

Can anyone tell me how Blease is going with his injury? I've barely heard a thing about it.

Good news about Strauss, looking forward to seeing him in red & blue.

haha mate,

Are you saying that his a certainty to become a gun?

And that he will definitely be a favorite?

I hope your right ;)

No, it just that he's a favourite or he's not. To say 'he could be' is a bit ridiculous.

Its all dependent on how good he turns out to be.

Newton could be one of my favourites, if he could play like Wayne Carey.

But he can't and it doesn't look like he will, so he's not and won't be.

But I understand where you're coming from - if he develops as expected (and hoped), he will be one of your favourites.

I'm exactly the same - can't wait for him to get a game cos I think he'll be a beauty.

Probably why I enjoyed it so much. Partly having a laugh at myself.

I'm right on this kid. Unlike so many of our hopefuls who look like they'd have been champions 15-20 years ago, Strauss looks like exactly the player type you target nowadays. Ok size, built strongly, kicks it like a surgeon. Think Davey with more size and less pace.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
