    Jack Frost?

    Ok Lets go all out shall we?

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

      The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #6 Caleb Windsor 

      The former first-round draft selection experienced an average second season, marked by participation in several VFL games, as well as three matches in which he was subbed out. He is nevertheless, a highly regarded talent capable of playing on the wing or behind the ball, with additional aspirations of developing into a centre square midfielder over time.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.
