When I think of needs for the Dees, I think of a need for pace. Our midfield is too stagnant against opposition and we get carved up in the middle. Scully will provide some pace relief assistance, of which I'm sure the likes of Blease and perhaps Trengove can assist. Breaking lines is critical in our game. Buckley was one I thought may provide that, but that is no longer.

Pace & foot skills. Saw a guy at the Championships back in winter who took kindly to my eye. From WA, a kid called Colyer provided these attributes. I've found some footage of him to give you an idea. the first couple of minutes are not much chop, and don't do him justice from what I have seen of him. From 2.5 minutes/3 minutes into the clip onwards you will get a better idea. No. 37. See what you think.

I'm inclined to believe he will be gone by pick 34. So perhaps a candidate for pick 18. If we go KP at pick 11 (as best available), I wouldn't mind him at pick 18.

I agree. I saw him play at the Telstra Dome and he caught my eye too. Small and very quick. He burst out of the centre a couple of times and I can remember once he had three guys chasing him and I think two of them fell over each other trying to catch him. He kicked a point from memory though.

He made the U18 all Australian squad on the bench.

I’d be pretty happy with him at 34 if he lasts.

I'm all for adding more speed into our midfield group, but I think pick 18 will be determained on if Mitch Thorp works out, if he is fit has his head right, he will be a handy tall forward. You add in another with pick 11 that will give us Watts, Jurrah, Thorp, Pick 11 as tall forward options. If he works out a ruckman or a skilled fast midfielder will be the best pick at 18.

I agree, I'd like colyer on our list as I believe Teams need a few smalls who can weave their way through traffic getting the ball forward & around the full forward line, kicking goals.

Would love to pick him up, he reminds me of a young boomer harvey

He looks ordinary from that footage. Very small and a poor kick. Doesn't even look to use his pace that well.

Not sure about young Boomer Harvey

look at the score in the first half champ, any kid is going to look ordinary in a wafl league team that is getting absolutely belted like they were

Like I said in OP, the first couple of minutes don't do him much justice compared to what I have seen of him, it's the only footage I could find of him. I hope you watched all of it, he showed a bit from 3min-6min of link.

    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

    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.
