McKenzie was great today. So many of his tackles turn the game from worried defence into sweeping attack. Good to see our young'uns showing the older guys a thing or two about how to create a turnover.

I reckon it was McKenzie that started us off today he is so hard at the ball. He has a lot to offer his speed, tackling and disposal are all good.

yep, Mckenzie is awesome, he will only get better with more games. I can see why they were eager to get him into the senior side.

It means that if you get the ball and he is around you'd better have some fancy footwork or you will be eating grass.

He is super impressive. Not only hard at it, I have confidence when he has the ball. Will beef up in 2 years and has nothing but upside! Exciting.

And to think people say we don't do well from our rookie list. This kid was given offers to leave this off season. His story is a big tick for him, our recruitment and our list management.

once he beefs up, those tackles are going to hurt the poor bloke being tackled :), he played a great game today. I am very impressed by the young man.

I think this kid is terrific!

But he's a rookie and only playing because of long term injury to (I think)Morton or Jurrah. Once one of them is fit what happens then? Do we lose him back to the rookie list and Casey?

Great effort by Jordie, He set the tone early and didn't stop allday. He was also super effective by hand and foot.

I'm not clear on the rules, but I'm pretty sure we're allowed to keep one on the senior list. I wouldn't worry, the club will do everything it can to keep him on the senior list for the whole year, as he's easily in our best 22.

Every year you look for young kids to come in and grab a best-22 spot by the scruff of the neck ... Jordie's done that, and I don't think he'll be dropped again. Ever again. He's Junior junior. I love him already.

Luke Tapscott would be 1 on the LTI who will miss at least 3 months. If Jordie is still kickn butt I doubt they`d rush Luke in for a handful of end of season games if it meant losing Jordie for the year. He is 1st picked out of the 22 the way he`s travelling at the moment.

He started our run, and got plenty of clearances.

What was a great improvement, bar 1 kick, was his use of the ball. He hit targets, and lowered his eyes instead ofjust pumping the ball long.

In terms of his spot on the list, given that we have 3 elevated rookies now, it is up the club who they put back on the rookie list if the other player comes back to play. If all 3 listed players return, then all 3 rookie players need to go back to the rookie list. But I am sure there will be another injury or two (but I hope not) to assist with keeping Jordie on the list.

Agree. Spoke to him recently at a function and he is a quiet but very determined boy. He would love nothing better than to have a great career with the Dees. He is on the way.

Jordie is an exciting prospect. Love his tackling and ball use. Should be a perfect complement to our emerging midfield gems.

The way we go with injuries he will play the whole year.

It means he puts pressure on opposition ball carriers.

You can't have the ball 100% of the time. When we don't have it, McKenzie's the first one to hit the contest hard. He's a great player.

All the accolades given to this young footballer are well founded. He gives you that feel of security that we are going the right way. He will end up a very solid player(Ling type)whom will not only defend but create. Another poster thinks he is Kirk like- I feel Jordie has got greater depth and far better kick.Will allow young players like Blease, Bennell to be run with players whilst he either gets the hard ball or nullifies. Tapscott will be another hard nosed type when he begins. GO DEES.

Love love love him.

Goes about his business, is HARD at the ball and the man and is surprisingly good with his disposal.

Does anyone know why he wasn't picked up in the draft? What were his major deficiencies according to the recruiters?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
