Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P. After watching Russian live last week I saw him Jog and stroll around and give us 0 leads and as has been discussed in Demonland 0 marks. I believe we could start Stef and my man crush Mitch forward with Russian in the ruck. Stef as more of a lead up forward with Mitch at full forward. Russian and Stef do the ruck work and that Leaves Mitch at Full Forward. If Russian would read the rule book which states ruckman have permission to kick the ball instead of turning his head and body all over the joint like the devil is in him he might be able to i don't know kick a couple through the big sticks and not handball it to anyone who then gets tackled.

The team needs mobile talls, like Darren Jolly at his best.

Was hoping given the chance to start over that you'd put more effort into your OP's DF!

.....or is this just an attempt to lure TGR over here?

That would be a start though Stef was struggling as much as anyone when he went AWOL. The Russian's gonna re-birth his old nickname if he doens't get on his bike.

Garland forward (Rivers to a lesser extent) at least shows this coach will think outside the box.

I agree - but this could also be due to a lack of "run and spread" - or a bit of both?

Ah the old multi dimensional talls. When Ronny first started banging on about MDT's(tm TGR 2006) he used to reference Freo as the standard, with Daniel Gilmore as his exhibit A.

that ended well.

He doesn't even do the old long kick down the line I think his feet are painted on.

Na, just some Mark Jamar from this game:

JUst shows whats possible Eh

Perhaps MJ needs to review this?

I have totally forgotten MJ could kick this well. Thanks for the memories - MJ should definately watch this.

I loved Robbo!

Great video. Although what sort of idiot makes a highlight video of a loss....

Nev Jetta was excellent in this game. It's a shame injuries have made it even harder for his type to make it, I really like him.

Look how open the forward line was back then, wish we could clear it out like that for Mitch The Ultimate Mobile Tall Clark.

Other than DJ D_F, who else did you have in mind ? Lucas Cook ?

Whether or not Neeld is a fan of Martin or not, I'm not sure. He was injured so he maybe trying to meet a level of "compliance" (nuffies like this sort of talk), before Neeld gives him the green light. Other options are Seller, Fitzpatrick and of course Gawn. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. The 'key' is development with our talls.

If you're looking elsewhere we already have suggestions in past threads such as Patton where you'd have to sell the house.

often amused by folk that suggest the Russian isnt too flash with marking.

Agree with HT...its about development.....theres already a bit of potential in the side. Needs honing

Mobile Talls...Clark Watts Howe Martin...how many do they need? Russian is a married man like Flash Greeny and the rest....there's his problem I reckon

Yes we need Martin to replace Jamar - who looks just about done.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
