Weve got picks 1 & 2.. now all but Daisy the cow and Drongo Dave seem to agree that this will be Scully and Trengove or at worst Trengove and Scully !!

If we were to say hypothetically pick up the Ball ( yes, intended ;):lol: ) at the PSD then , and if we can harness the force...we'll have Ball, Scully and Trengove..ably assisted by the likes of Grimes, Morton, Jones and Moloney with Blease and Strauss still to come.

Its just mind-boggling how all but overnight how much sharper, quicker and skilled that midfield becomes.

some blokes are really going to have to train and play their guts out if they want to press for this new Melbourne...great isnt it :)

oh..btw...put it in the drafting sides of things..as none of those three are actually here yet !! ;):rolleyes:

good names but not elite players at the end of the day...

a somewhat damning prophecy :huh: ...based on ?

what about adding jack watts to your hypothetical?

he's my perfect example of a good name but not an elite player...

I said good names but elite players because your listed players would struggle to get a game for the cats...i see the cats as the bench mark for the comp.

but i agree...some blokes will need to train harder than ever this year for there spot...i would say the pressure will be on jamar...wit more experienced spencer and hopefully an injury free meesen chasing for the number 1 ruck spot...some healthy comp never hurt anyone :rolleyes:

is he playing in the midfield any time soon ? :rolleyes:

My hypothesis is particular to the look and shape of it ( the midfield )

Any corelation to the Cats is pointless. My point is that the midfield, OUR midfield will take on a completely different look next year. A lot quicker and skilled. The decision making ought to take a couple of big strides upwards.

You do make a good point re rucking. ..almost a competition with one as to who gets the lollies there. and thats a healthy thing.

    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

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
