I have some doubt that Tuck has already been offered to train with us.

Maric is the first player since Miller that I've watched playing for MFC thinking "seriously, this guy can't cut the mustard at AFL level".

I find it pretty funny Richmond are considering a spot for Maric on their list alongside Miller. Good luck with that 9th spot Richmond, you wear it well. :)

He's got to be better than Ryan Gamble

From what I hear Couch was a solid midfielder for the Collingwood VFL side this year. Meat and potatoes mid, gets a lot of it, not quick. His dad was a late bloomer drafted at 21 years of age I believe. Obviously our Collingwood connections know him.

Insider trading.

I like the meat and potatoes mid description. If he gets alot of it, I hope he's not carrying a tool shed. :)

Sounds like a couch potato to me :)

Sauce?

Does anyone know if Tom Sunberg is training with anyone, Collingwood VFL B and F winner, thought he looked ok and might get a gig.

It seems that we have a new player Tom Couch a midfielder from Collingwood going to train with us.This has been twittered by Patrick Keane frm the AFL.

Saucer of milk to the Moderators room please!!

Thanks.

Have merged two "Permission to train threads" into one. We'll keep it here in the JT Board (Drafting and Trading Board), seeing it is relevant to this board. Have moved the original from the Message board to here. (JCB's one).

Cheers.

PERMISSION TO TRAIN LIST (updated 11.11.11)

 

Richmond - Pat Contin, David Fahey, Glen Grgic, Ben Jakobi, Addam Maric, John McCarthy Leigh Masters, William Wheeler.

 

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Willy Wheeler is a dead set chance to be rookied by Richmond ... however (my disclaimer) ... he is quite short, about 170cm I think. Unfortunately (in my opinion) gone are the days when football ability was football ability regardless of how tall or short you were. Willy is a GUN!!! Full stop. I watched every game he played this year. I am not a relative or friend of his. Trust me. I just worked for Coburg FC and he is an absolute star footballer, BUT... he is 170cm at best. That is a BIG factor in recruiting and no doubt the only reason he wasn't drafted. But at VFL level he is a brilliant little player and so composed and skilled. 

I REALLY hope he gets rookied, as I have rarely seen a talent like him as an 18y.o. small boy playing VFL 1's. I hate the fact that height is an issue these days when looking at drafting talented young, players, but unfortunately it is... and yet useless 188+ athletic midfielders with relatively little football ability get snapped up and talked up as the next big thing due to their amazing athletic ability. 

Anyone remember Diesel Williams? Tony Liberatore? Would hate to think that there is no place for this type of player in modern football.

Not a big factor in saying you are going out on a limb to say Richmond will pick him up. The Herald Sun nominated it back in July.

By the way, he is 176 cms tall

    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. 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
