Apologies if it's already been mentioned. I couldn't see a thread to that effect.

Yes, I heard it announced last night. As much as I hate Quarterbrain, I'll make an effort tonight.

Sportsbet will no doubt have odds on how many questions will get asked before one about Jack Watts

Posted (edited)

It will be interesting to see what he's got to say about where he thinks we are at. He seems very disappointed in his press conference on Saturday!

I'd reckon 2 questions before they ask about JW.

Just saw on our list of kids under 50 games they put up...

TrengRove

Warnock...

Seriously, how hard is it to look up something like that?

No its a fair call, so many of our young list are yet to play at all so we must have patience-but it is a balance act as last saturday proved.

The natives in the crowd were definately restless.

Most interesting part about the interview was him listing who has leadership potential at the club. In no particular order he listed Trengove, Scully, Watts, Grimes, Moloney, Davey and Rivers

Said Moloney, Davey and Rivers have really come on as leaders in the last 2 seasons, and that Trengove, Scully, Watts and Grimes all have good leadership backgrounds in their junior years (Scully and Grimes captained Vic Metro, Trengove captained SA and Watts captained his school).

Also said that we'll see Gysberts "a terrific young mid" soon.

I thought that was the best bit of the interview too. To me he seemed lukewarm to the idea of one of the younger guys being captain and couldn't get Brent Moloney's name out fast enough, but I'm probably reading too much in to it.

I think you're right.

I'm not a fan of the "in-between" captain, but based on that I can't see Bailey giving Grimes a captaincy role anytime soon. But on the other hand I also can't see him giving Green the role either.

Dean Bailey doesn't appoint the captain, it's voted on by the full playing group with no Board or Football Department input.

The players vote for a leadership group and the football department chooses the ultimate captain and the structure of the group as far as I know.

Happy to be proven wrong on this though.

IIRC, he actually said Gysberts was an 'outstanding' young mid. On my, albeit very subjective, list I'd have 'outstanding' ahead of 'terrific' - especially from a coach.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.
