I still think he will be touch and go in October...

It would be great to be an AFL player for 11 months of the year but you'd better get some anxiety pills in October.

Yeah, I agree he's borderline depending on what success we have picking up FA's Trades Mature players etc

I think he just scrapes in for a second year. Could be worthwhile as a role/depth player in the short term

i'd keep Dunn & MacDonald before holding onto Sellar tbh, not really the same positions though.

If the FD think Fitzy and Cook & Davis are going to make it James might be in trouble because we can only hold onto so many talls on our list for so long?

all good points but to be honest i'm not too fussed either way

i'm more concerned about the other side of the coin and whether they can get enough quality replacements

it looks to me that quality picks in FA will be very scarce

If they could get reasonable quality i wouldn't complain if they turned over 20 players lol

of course it won't happen

He will, he performs a role and as long as he does he will stay on the list.

I have no doubt they'll keep him. I reckon he has shown a great work ethic and i suspect Neeld places a very high emphasis on this

In pre season training he was taking marks against Clark, Frawley & Jamar.

I think he is capable but needs plenty of confidence to succeed.

He makes me nervous when the ball goes his way. Just like Warnock did. He is not a good contested mark and drops his fair share of uncontested marks.

If he could mark like Harry Taylor he would have a long term career at MFC.

Sadly, I can't see him being anymore than a bit player.

I tend to agree, although i think he's shown a bit which would be frustrating for him

I hope so. He's essentially our utility KPP - plays down back, then forward, then ruck - all reasonably effectively, and within the one game.

He seems to have a decent character about him as well. In short, a very good pick up in the 50s.

Whilst he needs to hold more marks, he always provides a contest and, at least, brings the ball down for our non existent crumbers.

Line ball retention if at all. A year at most. I could understand if they do cut him. He is fortunate that there are others who seem to have their cards already stamped.

Definite keep for me. He costs little, is a good backup if others go past him, is average at his roles and provides that "bigger body" that so many moan about not having.

If we are going to have big body players but lose sellar we then cannot get rid of all our older blokes. I'd prefer Seller to Bate, Rivers, Green (and Martin if it comes to it).

Keep, I see many similarities to Leigh brown at Collingwood, will surprise us all I think

Leigh Brown could take a good mark. Who know he might come up. We do need another Spalding, Ingerson or Icke type. Rivers has played the role for some years now. he needs help.

How's that comment working out for ya today champ?

Thats like saying Strauss has great awareness.


Posted

He is halfway there. He has enough confidence to go hard when off the ground. Just needs perhaps a little more composure once he is in the air. I reckon the coaching staff will punt that they can teach him that. And on that basis, they will extend him an offer.

Agree with all above, he also seems like a good honest bloke.

4 very good one grabe contested marks in the first half tonight.

Now to work on his set-shooting.

Definite keeper.

Sellar: Can't kick for nuts.

Strauss is supposed to be the best kick in the team but only hanballs into trouble.

Trengove only handballs into trouble, he doesn't kick

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
