you mean Howe, not Cook, right Ralph?

At least these blokes have a chance of better nicknames.

Howie will be a cult player.

Really quite happy with what we ended up with.

And when Lucas Cook says his uncle used to play for the doggies, that would make his uncle...

I like the players we drafted it seems we are getting players in that can cover and compete for the same spots. When you broke our list down we lacked tall forwards we draft 3 that add options and depth to this area. If you look at our list now it has a good balance

Tall Forwards: Watts, Cook, McDonald, Fitzpatrick, Newton

Mid to Tall Forwards: Jurrah, Dunn, Petterd, Bate, Green, Howe

Small Forwards: Aussie, Tapscott, Maric, Bennell

Midfielders: Scully, Trengove, Gysberts, Sylvia, Bail, Blease, Jones, Moloney, Mckenzie, Morton, Jetta, Davey

Ruck: Jamar, Martin, Spencer, Gawn

Mid Defenders: Grimes, Macdonald, Strauss, Bartram

Tall Defenders: Rivers, Garland, Warnock, Frawley, Davis

A number of the players can play different roles but I put them where I think they will mainly play. We have 6 rookie picks taking a couple mid size defenders, a couple of midfielders and a ruckman and another tall we really balanace our list.

Looking at that list gives me great confidence.

We look pretty much set across all areas.

Probably could use 1 awesome half back flanker + another couple of midfielders + a lightening quick small forward and we're pretty much set. Maybe 1-2 more ruckman to develop off the rookie list.

But none of these needs are in any way urgent

Chris from Camberwell is a total classic!!! he always asks about 13 questions before anybody else can speak!! HaHaHa-but he does know his stuff.

Well, I don't know about that. But he's keen and he's polite and he has a distinctive voice.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
