I think we're all clutching at straws.

How about we bring them all down to AAMI park and play jack in the pack, whoever ends up with the ball gets the gig.

Yes we are. Truth is, none of them are any good.

Hearing Paul Hamilton just a second ago on SEN radio...

Apparently both Neagle & Atkinson have both shown over their 10 days of preseason so far, that their training standards are not up to scratch.

I didn't catch the name, but they were given 2 days to improve their attitude & intensity and one of the players didn't even bother showing up to training the next day.

Definitely not what we want at our club.

It was Atkinson. He walked away from football when he found out he needed to train harder.

Neagle will keep training with Essendon in the hope of a rookie list spot.

Anthony is the only player that has achieved anything of note at AFL level. So if we were to go after someone IMO it should be him. Can also play down back unlike Thorp or Neagle.

Also can people stop saying that Anthony is the same size as our other forwards such as Green. Brad is 184cm 83kgs and plays way above his size(brilliantly I might add), whilst Anthony is 192cm 92 kgs. A completely different player.

To paraphrase -

"It's the fish Scott Clayton rejects, that make Scott Clayton the best..."

Can't say I'm excited about any of them. For pick 50 something you could do worse than Jack Anthony, he may yet bloom again.

Probably the only real quality experienced player available is Cameron Bruce, but he wouldn't really suit our needs and wouldn't be around long enough to really help towards a premiership.

So another year of kids it is.

This year on Demonland, let's do something novel and entertain the idea of using all four of our draft picks on untried players. This idea is nothing new to the FD, but I'm just hoping that one day, just maybe, it might catch on on the forum.

Do I pass?

The maths will agree with you.

John Jack Anthony, but is called jack for some reason

Personal choice says this quote from the article in the Jack Anthony thread...

"Honest to the point of abrasive, and with a raft of personality quirks, he was thought by rival recruiters to be uncoachable. Refusing to answer to his birth name John - Jack had a better ring to it - he struggled to find his niche at the club."

Or the fact Jack is "short" for John, the way Dick is short for Richard and Harry is short for Henry.

Sad news about Atkinson. i thought he showed something. He has terrific pace and could have filled the small defenders role. Maybe he needs a good role model like Davey.

I think Essendon are just giving Neagle a kick in the pants, and will look to pick him up as a rookie.

Their footy manager has said that.

Houli looks set to go to Richmond via the PSD.

Atkinson is a list clogger.

Neagle likewise, but I'd prefer him to Jack Anthony...

Any interest..?

(this is a test...)

Preference for Neagle over Anthony.Your kidding or just a fool.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.
