Pretty simple at years end give him sylvia's contract.

 

yeah, terrible user of the footy. Lacks awareness too, but he tries..i wouldn't mind giving him a 2 yr contract

 

Drafted as forward.

Trains with the forwards.

Plays forward at Casey this year. But plays down back with the seniors. Do you think the ultimate aim is to have him play down back or up forward?

Who can tell.

Bennell is another good example - plays well down back as a running linkman for Casey, comes into the Dees, plays as a sub who gets to spend time as a small forward when on the ground.


He's Mr Kool for mine never looks perturbed by pressure. I like him contrary to some bad turnovers he seems to switch play well and reads the flow of the game effectively. 2 yr lease with an option to buy in 3

And while we're at it, let's also sign up Sammy Blease for 2 yrs before he flies off to join his mate interstate.

Possibly the worst kick at the club, which is something of a (dis)honour given there is sincere competition for that title.

The rest of his game, though, I love. He seems a natural defender, like Rivers. He can read the play nicely, he holds his own even when giving up weight and/or height, he's courageous, and he also has an attacking bone in his body. I love seeing him peel off his forward and push up the wing. Of course, he can get burnt on the turnover, but I like that he has that attack to him.

Hopefully the kicking will improve. Even if not, he's still a great young prospect.

 

Certainly not the worst kick at the club, not even close whilst Bartram remains on the list. He's a similar kick to say Nicholson who under more pressure will make more mistakes but when in time and space is more likely to use it well. I still think he'll end up a forward. His size, endurance and marking lends more to CHF and with Watts looking more and more like a CHB it just makes sense to me. I've got no problem with him down back whilst the midfield means that's where the ball is.

will be in the leadership group in a couple of years.

Is he moving? Do you have inside knowledge?


for a second year player he is underated..has played on big names. He has had some cool heads around him to help him.

I like his game except for his kicking. Needs to work on his kicking everyday. Right now is a Warnock clone

He's got much more composure than Warnock.

His composure has a greater ceiling than Warnock, but I would not say it is greater right now. Maybe I am still blinded by the Bulldogs game.


Jobe Watson was a terrible kick when he started.....Kicking can be improved...

I guess that means we will sign him for 3-4yrs.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
