Brad Harvey (who is training with us) is probably the best remaining young player imo.

Josh Walker, Jamie Solly, Callum Sinclair and Jonathan Giles are the other ones that interest me the most.

Ok Lets go all out shall we?

Jack-the-ripper

If nothing else should be able to 'cut' the opposition to pieces

No, I'm serious.

There was a kid in the draft called Jack Frost. Tall forward.

Had some promise.

Unless he was picked already & I didn't notice...

I thought you were being humorous.. there really is a Jack Frost (some parents,...honestly)

Sandy Dragons - Bomber supporter

going by his BIO ,needs a bit of work on his game.

Looks tho he was overlooked.

Really is a lottery for a rookie with so many and any number 1 or 2 could end up being a gem.

I'm sure they have done their homework for our remaining vacant rookies.

I'm on Tom Mac to be retained (shows promise) just seems a waste not to give him another season.

I'm still hopeful on Scott Simpson

Only because I think we can use someone with

some vigour on the forward line

Same applies on the backline, need for a toughnut

down back.

I havent forgotten, Tapscott, if he can step up

I think he looks like he could run through a brick wall.

"Hungry" Jack,,, which one?

Maybe we could get some action, sponsorship action?

I'd be happy if we can acquire Jackson Sketcher or Brad Harvey.

The former joint-winner of the TAC Cup league b&f and captain of sandringham.

Have you seen Jackson play?

Only once.

Wasn't paying much attention to him in particular at the time.

So you've seen him play once and you think we should recruit him>?

Move over Barry Prendergast I think we have found your replacement.

Rookie list, genius.

Got any better suggestions?

You don't usually offer much, so I'd be surprised if you do.

Some of us me included are thinking PJ will be retained but I was just thinking, is he even training with us ? I haven't seen him in one photo.

Yes he is training with us.

All I can say is that you must be more hopeful than Simpson is himself because he's taking the year off VFL to see if he can get his body right at his local club.

Of course, he could be foxing but I think that would be highly unlikely.

That just killed it

He must be in a bad way. i thought maybe they told him to lay low

for the 2nd part of the season.

Of course, he could be foxing but I think that would be highly unlikely.

Would have to agree, he didnt show that much, to warrant going to all

this trouble to keep him under the radar.

Too bad for him and us, Could have used a big strong body.

But on the bright side, it gives Cook, Howe,Fitzpatrick a better chance

to do their stuff as forwards, with Casey.

He won't be rookied by us. Tom Mac still a chance.

I wouldn't mind if we picked Jaryd Atkinson - ex essendon. We may need a bit more pace on tha backline and he's got tons.

I also like what i've seen of Cameron Johnston. He can run and kick - very handy skills at 181cms.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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
