Man, he makes our forward line look so much better.

21 possessions, 12 marks of which 3 were contested and 2 goals today.

For a third gamer that is some seriously impressive stuff. He's going to play a really important part in our premiership aspirations.

Hopefully better than jack darling.

Yes, he really looks a ready made player. Has so much poise, and looks like he's belongs in the big time. We really are buidling a team with heaps of real talent. Now, if they can just start playing some consistent footy! But, think that will come.

he looks like he has bulked up from the pre season games i saw at the start of the year.. heaps too! dont be surprise if you see him as our number one full forward ;)

He is playing very very well this kid. Another who has so much time so sum up the situation and uses it very well.

His hands are outstanding and the marks he took today were great. The 2 goals were very handy. Definitely a future player for us and we havent seen him take a trade mark screamer yet.

Is he a chance for the rising star nomination this week?

Lock him in, he's eligible.

Yeah he will be up there with a few this week.

It will be between him, Breust from the hawks, and I assume Menzel is eligible.

Id say Menzel this week, but Jeremy wont be far away if he keeps this form up.

I knew about his leap and marking, but I am also really impressed with his field kicking. He kicks that flat, hard ball which really gets through the air with speed, which makes him even more valuable considering how many marks around half forward and wing I am hoping he takes in the future, where he will be delivering those kicks to our deeper forwards.

Sat with a hardened Hawks supporter at the G today and he said 'Gee I'd love him at Hawthorn. That kid's got great one grab hands and has more footy nous than Bate and Dunn combined'. Hard to disagree.

The DF Marauder strikes!!!!!

Howe about that!!!! Nice. I'm taking everything a week at a time though. Sorry for the cliche' but it was a pretty deleted Freo, and at the G lol

Love this about him, along with all the other more tangible stuff.

A genuine Tall, 3rd tall... He helps the forward structure by having a real Tall who can mark O/H and play the big guy. He chases tackles, and all the stuff we've been needing. It frees up Petterd as well to play a more even small to medium forward type role or into the Mids. Fantastic.

Hard At It...

This ^^^^ is it, was skeptical with the raps on the kid "next robbo" etc (in that he may play selfishly)but he offers everything we want in a disciplined forward, pressure, 10 marks goals... he is the new petterd,bate, dunn.... 1-2 of these guys wont be on the list asap imo

Evans, Gawn, Tapscott, Nicholson, Gysberts and Howe have all started off their careers so well, people talk about us building a list of high draft picks like Watts and Scully, what about these blokes putting their hands up to be part of it. Exciting stuff

agree nail in the coffin for the careers of bate and dunn, shown more in 3 matches than those two have in their whole careers.

Great game. He has great hands.

Makes Bate and Dunn look like amateurs.

Sure does- im going to spit the dummy out if he doesnt get the rising star this week.

That's hyperbole.

Bate had a very good start to his career.

He hasn't kicked on, but don't rewrite history.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
