Well sounds like we've got a few options then - dare we say it - " A nice problem to have ! "

With davey down forward he will not be a main target and could easily kick 40+ goals. But it depends if Neeld wants him down back .If Jetta and Aussie can find form then I can see davey kicking goals again.

Wonder if Neeld likes Dick.

Sorry.

Seriously, Brad Dick, Collingwood. Out of contract and Toovey has just signed. They've got to move one or two on you'd think. Any fans of his out there? Does he only play 2 good games a year and usually against us?

Thought he was going to retire - chronic injuries (shoulders?)

I don't reckon we take Dick.

Work on the blokes we have and draft in a couple more specialists to put pressure on and make better players of all of them.

Pretty sure he did his ACL during the year so won't be able to play till mid year.... Looks like being cut from the pies

Jetta - this kid is naturally hard at it also provides tackling pressure, which along with Petterd and Howe providing same helps us implement the press and defensive pressure in the forward zone once Clark, Watts and rotating Jamar bring the ball to gron

Bennell is also an option the kid needs to realise the talent he has

Mission might change it back if thats how Neeld wants the Daveytrain

I'm going to back in Bennell.

He might not be the permanent FP, but he'll be a regular in our 22.

What will he be?

If he's floating around between back and forward doing SFA and still in our 22 I'll scream. It's not much, but it's a horrible scream.

I hope he does become the permanent FP, has the tools, but I just have little faith in him.

Bennell is small back for me - good defensively, line breaking run and a nice kick - he did some great work down there last year.

Davey, Wonna and Lawrence are the candidates for crumbing forward currently on the list - its a tough role but absolutely vital, especially in big finals - tougher and even more vital. Jurrah, Howe, Sylvia and Watts are all threats when the ball hits the deck too - there's going to be some fun times ahead.

Wonna is the one we need to mature. He has the strength and the presence to do the Job, If only he would put his head down and do it.

He has the body to be able to shrug the tackler, and steady to goal.

Common Wonna, don't let it all slip away.

Could Dan Nicholson fill this role? Quick, strong fitness base so could run defenders around all day, he's hard at it so we know he'll run people down and do the defensive things required of a crumbling forward these days.

Question is does he have any goal sense and what's his set shot like? Could be something to trial in pre-season perhaps.

IMONicholson is too valuable as a quick strong pressurising defender to shift forward, but I guess it depends a bit on the 'role' Neeld has in mind for the likes of Tapscott and Grimes - if they are to be used as mids then Nicho definitely will be needed in defence at some stage.

Personally, I would push for Aaron to be re-invented as the small crumber, and / or Jetta who seems to like tackling and applying pressure: not sure about his goal sense however.

Gibson Turner from NT Thunder is my choice if we were to look at a small forward from the draft. Has a great highlights reel. He and Jurrah would cause a lot of headaches for opposition backs.

How about this Anthony Tipungwuti guy from the Tiwis.

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
