Reckon Jurrah probably wants to prove something perhaps. Let his footy do the talking, would be great for him. Petterd also due. Really need all 3 back at the dees and firing.

Watts for me. He has been ok to good at afl level, the drop in intensity and pace (ernesto in intensity enberg pace) should allow him to assert himself. Hopefully he has a blinder and realises what he is capable of at afl level. It is Jurrahs first run in a long time, I don't expect much from him, just enough to get a feel. He will play two games in the vfl I would've thought. Petterd did ok last week, I'd like him to surprise me.

(edit: fixed auto correct gibberish, now in brackets!)

Whichever one does well and gets promoted... They're gonna have a hell of a shock with our next 6 weeks.

Personally, I'm impressed with Jurrah actually playing. I was highly doubtful of LJ playing at either AFL or VFL level this year, but to his credit, he has pulled his head in, worked on his fitness, and has given himself every opportunity to compete at the highest level.

I hope LJ gets a further opportunity to put a pretty crappy few months behind him after the court case, allowing us, the MFC, and the greater AFL community, the opportunity to see what he does best.

Heard Neeld say just before that if Jurrah plays well at Casey he might get promoted the following week, or words to that effect.

Indeed - and that doesn't come as a surprise. Jurrah is class and clearly belongs in the side, but of course there are a plenty of variables that will lead to his selection.

I'm actually surprised at how few are picking Petterd. Surely if he stars as a defensive forward on the weekend, he'd be in with an excellent chance of being recalled? I'm sure he'd be aware of this. I mean, it's hardly a Dunn deal that this role is filled in the AFL team.

And bloody good on him if he does. I will put my hand up saying that I didn't think he would play a game of senior footy this year. The pending court case will be a massive outcome in Liam's career (as well as his life obviously). If he is to be found not guilty, the amount of support he will receive will be amazing, and I think he will feel that he owes the Club something, and as we've seen, just how special that something is could be quite remarkable.

I hope it's not the alternative.

Why all this, didn't expect him to play....., he was allegedly involved in an assault, which he vehemently denies, innocent until proven guilty the wrist injury did not heal properly which it now has he has been running miles at training, I know coz I have seen him do it...I expected him back a bit sooner...but this weekend will do

So many said he would never play again, well lets hope he does a Teddy and sticks it right up em. It would be great to see him back in our forward line, he brings so much joy to the game.

Went to a game with a Sydneysider last year and he was transfixed with Liam, just loved him.

Like you, I'm entitled to my own opinion.

Petterd, if he does ANYTHING RESEMBLING DECENT needs to come in. I'm so sick of the Porn Star.

The porn star does what Neeld asks, Ricky needs to do the same

Watts has been ok, Petterd is out of form and Jurrah keeps suggesting he 'isnt ready'. Viney did look good for a player of his age. Three more of him and we might have a half decent mid field...

If you asked me out of ALL our younger generation of players which one is the most likely to have an impact on return or to come on quickly to the next level Id probably say Gysberts, hopefully Blease and McDonald. Tappscott seems a likely possibility as well.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
