Check out the leap in the first ruck contest !!!

Just came across it five minutes ago.

Apologies if it has already been posted.

If we have him and Jurrah playing on the "G" someday I don't know what I will do....

Go Dees.

Looks exciting. Disposal not as consistently clean as Jurrahs but has some real assets. Lets hope we can snare him and the even more exciting Taylor at 18 and 34

As teenagers he and LJ used to be rivals, a la Carey vs Jacovich. LJ certainly rates him. He doesn't quite have the silk of LJ, but if anything he's quicker and has an even bigger leap. He'll need some fattening up, but he could be an exciting player, in the mould of Daryl White.

Have a talk to Bails if you haven't already mate, i am sure he would listen to your knowledge.

During the year it was announced by the club that it was instituting an Aaron Davey Scholarship for young indigenous talent. I'm wondering if it's possible to select him in the rookie draft and award him the scholarship?

If this were done, then he would of course, start his career at the club by going around at Casey Fields so I do have my selfish reasons for making the suggestion :rolleyes:)

In that case KC, I hate to break the news but Essendon will have a selection in the PSD as a result of the delisting of McPhee. They've shown interest in Liam Patrick and will probably take him with their PSD pick.

In any event, I think the scholarship is more for young indigenous talent not on any club's existing list. In that case, the scholarship holder will no doubt be appearing with the Scorpions at some stage next year.

lets cross our fingers for the rookie draft,

Most impressive was his balance for a tall player, couldn't remember seeing him go to ground at any time that wasn't expected.

We currently have no rookie spots to use as we rookied Meesen and Newts. If someone picks one or both of them (no chance) then spots open up otherwise the only new player we can add is McDonald in the PSD.

However we wish him well.

After being overlooked in the national draft, it was inevitable that the Gold Coast would pounce. It would have been great to have the two Warlpiri warriors, playing as bookends, so to speak, but alas, it was not to be. Good luck to the young man.

Agreed.

It's great to see that he's going to get a shot and this is a better path for him than as a rookie. He'll also find himself (agewise) as one of the senior players in the side. It will be interesting to see how he works with the raft of 17-18 year-olds coming into the club.

... the raft of 17-18 year-olds coming into the club.

That club is going to be absolute kaos with these kids, they are going to run a muck.

No look at this kid from the point of view of a record look at the way he filled the space for selection. He was always going to be picked in the draft.

    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.
