Says in the paper that Jay Neagle was delisted. I don't really watch too many Essendon games very closely so I can't comment on his abilities too much. But high hopes were once held for him. Does anyone know what led to his delisting? Sounds like it must be attitude problems as he was dumped after "failing to impress" James Hird.

Interesting one. He's young (23 yo) but has had a few years in the system and a developed body. Multiple injury setbacks. Maybe needs a bit of a jolt like this. It would be a good story if they rookied him and he worked hard to make it back on their list (he was a father-son selection so would be nice). Interested to hear if anyone here thinks he's worth us punting on as a KPF. Personally I'm not so interested but as I said, I don't get to see him play much.

Neagle made Ben Holland look like Carl Lewis. Seriously Ive never seen a more lazy not fit for AFL player given such a dream run of adulation and expectation over the last 3 years merely due to his surname and height/weight on paper. The guys an A-Grade spud, if he couldnt flourish in that Essendon forward line this year when he was supposedly fitter than ever before, what makes anyone think he'd succeed at our or any other club?

The midfield getting the footy to him is rubbish...

But everything that's been said of him in this thread still stands.

Agree that everything said here still stands ... BUT ...

I don't think we need a great player up forward .. I think we need a big bodied forward who can create a contest. Neagle does fit that bill. While he isn't necessarily quick or agile, I don't think he would be the worst player we could get. He takes another tall defender, which frees up Watts and LJ. I think he's worth a look at the very least.

I'm not sure that he does.

He could be taller and he doesn't contest much.

I'd go as far as saying I don't think he offers anything more than Newton.

Possibly even less.

As an un-ashamed NON-fan of Newton, I will disagree with you there. Nobody offers less than Juice. If he proves me wrong, brilliant .... but if that happens, the grass will be blue and the sky green.

Have to disagree - E25 is spot on. At least Juice looks decent back at VFL level. Both have looked NQR in the AFL to date but Neagle would struggle for a regular game at Casey. I would say that, within reason, he IS just about the worst player available to take that key forward spot.

Whether Newts has the talent of Neagle is debatable but Newts has show more desire to chase, tackle and put his body on the line than what I have seen of Neagle. Says a lot for where Neagle is at.

Would be an interesting story though...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
