He would be better off holding Gillies hand as he can't play either. Pedersen at least has shown a bit especially at Casey.

Gillies will be gone Redleg he is only on a one year deal.

Pity Byrnes was not on the same.

Amazing we made such an effort to get three players for Casey.

I suppose we are helping our team develop players

Being brutal, I can see Byrnes, Gillies, Jetta, Bail, MacDonald, Davey and possibly Sellar and Strauss leaving/retiring and maybe Jamar being traded. I think Pedersen stays another year as he is contracted for 2 more.

Byrnes I would pay out and offer him a year at Casey playing/coaching.

If we were offered a mid for Tapscott I could see him going.

I think we will make at least 8 changes to the senior list.

This is getting really serious Redleg, I am in total agreement again.

Davey and Macdonald are past it and the rest never where.

I forgot Troy Davis, but I think they will keep him for another year. He is a big strong boy who is hard at it and if he can improve his kicking, is a chance.

After all the agreement of earlier today Redleg trouble is on the horizon.

Davis's kicking ability will go the same way as Mckenzie, Nicholson and G Mac.

IMO poor kickers generally stay that way.

Average kicks can etch out an AFL career poor ones do not.

Replace them with players who can kick, they just break your heart and keep you anchored in the bottom half of the competition.

we have to kick this habit of nursing bad-kickers til we eventually off load them anyway.

Dont draft anyone who cant bloody kick!!

Hard to argue against that.

Yet something so simple has NOT been overly observed to date. Beggars belief really :wacko:

I guess bb and Redleg when you get to the point in the draft when Nicholson, Mckenzie and Davis were selected you are getting to the bottom of the barrel. They would not be high / Rookie picks if they were perfect.

If Mckenzie was a good kick he would have gone in the first round.

If only he could kick!!!!!!!

Posted

But the thing I simply dont get is how ANYONE gets to the point of being in the draft, being considered for AFL ( the highest level of the game ) and cant f'n kick a ball. How does this occur

An analogy being a stool, surely kicking is one of the legs, without which it falls over.

The same thing makes me wonder too bb.

However I think it has a lot to do with the size of the player pool required for the AFL level now.

With the addition of two new teams we have had to find a min. of another 80 players.

IMO these players would not have made the cut in years gone by.

IMO the talent pool is now stretched too far.

That is one factor. Another is the difference between kicking per se and kicking under pressure. I suspect the latter is a lot more difficult.

Watch Davis at training R & B IMO he is no better then than on game day.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
