See Danny Hughes is on the list of "Pemission to Train" with the Doggies.

Have to hand it to Danny. He won't die wondering! Good luck to him!

He deserved a couple more years on a rookie list. Hasn't had enough!

Trying to break the record for the lowest years-on-list-to-senior-matches-played ratio? If they draft him that will make it year number 5.

If i remember correctly, he played quite well against the doggies this year, in one of his two matches.

Good luck to him. His talent is certainly around the mark - it's not like he doesn't have it.

But every time he strings together a few games he gets injured. I would think he'd be over the constant injuries, realise that his body might not be designed for AFL and step down a level. But good on him for persevering.

Good Footballers should excel at VFL level

He doesnt and its why he along with hundreds of others play only a few games at AFL level (some don't play any)

I wish anyone who has a go the best of luck but this game at AFL level isn't a walk up start like it was 40 years ago

Hughes has always been excellent at VFL, when fit. Unfortunately, that wasn't often enough.

I've been a fan of his and wish him all the best... good luck Danny!

Good luck to the guy - just didn't quite make it.

Cannot question his determination though.

Not necessarily there have been a lot of footballers who find the VFL level too scrappy and not to their liking but have dominated at AFL level purely because there is more space and it is quicker so they can use their talents instead of being stuck in the VFL ... (Just this year a lad by the name of Medhurst was stuck there too long and it ruined his career)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Exactly my thoughts, Master. He really seemed good enough to me to be a proper AFL player , if only he wasn't injured all the time.

I'd love it if he got another go, and admire whoever picked him for recognising his talent. But we gave him a pretty good go.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
