I'll start it off...

Tapscott is crap, I mean he has done nothing but sit pretty on that injury list and waste our time.

He has shown nothing, and we should have redrafted Luke Molan with pick 18. We'll end up regretting the decision to draft him.

Nah, bugger Molan, we need a forward, can we redraft Robbo at the end, this year? And he was a Tasmanian!

Nine rounds in and you say he's a dud pick when he hasn't played an AFL or VFL game.

Shame on you!

How could you have overlooked the fact that he's become our latest 426?

A little bit of 'tongue in cheek' Jaded? I'm not biting!

Gawn 6-8 weeks and we are at round 10. Based on this assessment, the earliest he will be up and running at Casey will be round 16. Does anyone else get the feeling we will be seeing a Gawn debut game next year? He might squeeze in for a late 2-3, but this season is a wash for the big fella.

Yep. Think he might be "Gawn" for this year...! LOL

You were going for the double reverse sarcasm yourself weren't you!?

Gawn probably won't debut for the demons until 2012. This year has been ruined in terms of developed at VFL level. a 206cm, 18-year old kid, coming off a knee reco, will take years to develop fully.

He will need a full season at VFL to develop his game. Does anyone really expect to see him play this season.

Ruckman often only fully develop by the age of 25 at least! You only need to look at Jamar and Sandilands as examples who were labeled duds in their teenage years (i know Kruiser has gone bang straight away but he is a freak of nature)

This is the first week he's had a number figure rather than 'indefinite' isn't it?

I'd not expect him to get much beyond the Casey reserves this year -- so yes, this season is a wash. To be honest I wouldn't have expected him to pull on an MFC jumper this year anyway, even if he was fit.

i cant wait to see the number 35 run around on the g. bought the jumper with his number on at the start of the year cos i like the fact he's hard at it and as soon as i heard CC say he had that bit of [censored] about him, i liked the sound of him even more. anways, the very next week he was on that list. i think i may have jinxed the poor kid. anyway good full page picture of him and trengove in todays mx.

Agree. Long term prospect. Would need to develop at VFL level with a decent amount of games under his belt.

I could be mistaken but this injury list is the same as last week with the players shuffled around a little bit. Melbourne website are yet to update the list from the 18th and it looks the same as above

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
