Pretty straight forward, I think- Sam Blease for me. Was very excited that we recruited him and also saddened when he [censored] his leg.

Itching to see what pace he can bring and how his fine delivery and ball winning abilities may add even more X factor to a team thats starting to look like the justice crew

Max Gawn I believe to be the man whose impact could serve us best. He is a mountain and if he comes on correctly, Jamar/Gawn alone = major headaches for any team. Go dees

I voted Luke Tapscott from all reports he could very well be "our" version of Paul Chapman.

Posted

tapscott, then fitzpatrick

tapscott is going to be a genuine freak

if fitzpatrick agile as anything, good dukes, could be important as we will need a ruckman goalscorer and i think this is our most likely option.

Posted

Tappy could definately add that hardened edge we have been crying out for. Who would tappy push out? A Dunn, a petterd, a Bennell if Blease comes on?

Posted

Whilst I think Blease will be more important in the long run, I really want to see Tapscott out there. Just feel he could be something special (Blease too, but Tapscott might make his mark from the get go).

I answered the first question in favour of Max Gawn, not just because I'm his sponsor but because it would be great to see the 208cm ruckman run out onto the G and destroy those midget ruckmen like Jolly and co.

Can't wait for tapscott.

Gawn will be the most important part of a premiership core setup. Don't know how good Jamar will be in 3-4 years so If this guy matches the hype it will be huge

I'm kind of hopeing he's ready while Jamar is still fireing and there can be a smooth transition of sorts... because I want everything to be rosey of course.

When all is said and done, assuming Gawn comes on, do you think MFCs future number 2 ruck is currently in our squad?

A bit of a tuffy, cant wait to see Sam and Luke but i only hope the we will dominate from the first bounce with the 208+ cm Max in the near future, may be as good as Sandilands B)

Anyone aware of Fitzpatricks progress? Bulking up? Working on getting his kick more penetrable? He could be our Hale type after all?

Watch this and tell me you're not excited about seeing Blease in action!

Very impressive speed and "nimbleness"!!

Ahhhh... but for the broken leg.


Posted

Blease obviously.

Not so obvious when we have Scully and Davey in the guts for pace.

However... a Luke Tapscot (likened to a Paul Chapman!!) is the kind of player we miss. Small bulky forward that can run around all day and take and make a decent hit.

Can't wait.

Future Forward line in 3 years time (omitting Green): Aussie, Jurrah, Tapscott, Petterd, Watts, Sylvia... with Bate on the outer. **drools**

No James Strauss?

No one think we need players who can penetrate by foot between the arcs?

Strauss debuted at the start of this year. Would like to see alot more of him

Tappy. Geez I've heard some great things about him from some serious players in the Adelaide market. Big, big, big wraps on the lad. Let's hope he can at least make some of those wraps true at the MFC.

Posted

Tappy first then Sammy Blease (I hope).

I think Tappy will be debuting rnd1 2011, Blease will need a very solid preseason and strong Casey form to push for a mid season debut barring any nagging leg issues.

    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
