Watched a fair bit of the match and I must say from the game on saturday and the Casey-v-Coburg match I watched a few weeks back I am really impressed with Stockdale, the guy is a gun!

In the Jarrod Harbrow fashion IMO. Can play midfield or as a small defender and provides a heap of run for the team, whether it's Casey or the Vic's! Really damaging when he uses it also.

Looks to be a very good player, I'm not sure how old he is but I hope Melbourne look at rookie listing him at the end of the season, was shatetred when we didn't do this with Silvagni end of 09', would hate to see it happen twice in 2 years and have Stockdale go somewhere else and make a good impact.

Forget about rookie listing him, pick him up with one of our first 2 draft picks. We need a new Whelan.

If our 2nd pick isn't till about pick 40 odd in an already weakend draft it probably wouldn't be a bad idea you're probably right. depends what else is out there I guess, I just hope we get him assuming he's young enough, not sure if you know how old he is KC?

He's 19 years old - turns 20 in August.

175cm, 75kgs. You need to be exceptional to make it at that size unfortunately.

Not saying he doesn't deserve the shot, but I'd think he'd be a pretty long shot to make it. And I wouldn't bother outside of the rookie draft. He's probably the sort you'd take as a rookie if there was literally nobody else you fancied left.

The next Shane Valenti?

Exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote that. Different type of player, but same story really.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
