‘Pickles’ Evans relishes return

Good on ya Pickles!

Whilst we all agree living the life of a AFL player especially a demons player would be great it can't be that great great when you have only played a handful of games and have had nearly as much surgeries as games.

He has busted his butt and put up with surgery,pain and therapy session after therapy session to try and get back and play. Anyone on here who has had any type of injury/surgery knows how much of a pain in the ass it is and for him to come back and play for the dee's is something I look forward to.

It should mandatory that you can demonstrate that you can understand and can teach how to use an apostrophe before you can become a teacher.

Good on you pickles'!

Anyone that saw him play on Saturday had to be impressed, it was really his first game in 18 months he was good, he has something most our midfielders don't the ability to carry the football, he attacks. Evans and Jetta are two players that take the game on, run with the footy, play on and attack the game, I hope both see out 2012 and remain on our list for the next couple of years.

First game back and a pretty handy one too. It shows his natural talent. Don't know if they could all fit in the one side but imagine a fit and in form Blease,Nicho,Jetta and pickles. They are all line breakers and it would be good footy to watch.

Maybe a comma, or two, wouldn't go astray either JM.

Ah....good old 'Pickles' Evans

Last year I was genuinely excited when we rookie listed both Evans and Nicholson. Both offer pace and run and spread, something we desperately need. It's such a shame that both have had their year curtailed by injuries. Nicho has since worked his way back into the side and continues to prove his worth. I hope Evans is given every chance to do the same. Hope to see both boys back at the club in 2013.

Very impressed with his come back game against Bendigo. He showed some real class in patches considering he had been out for so long.

Well done pickles!!

I was taking the [censored] & posting quickly.

Ended up with a few too many "that you can"s too.

It's a lot easier to press your case for retention on the list if you can actually get on the park, so I'm pleased for him in that regard. Good luck "Pickles"!

If we are to keep him it will most likely be a 3rd year Rookie, but I think that means going through the draft again...

Will be hard i think to keep. He ll need to break into the seniors and have a cracking game or 2 for a shot I think.

The cut needs to come from somewhere and lets face it, Morton isn't going to get cut.

From memory, i think rookies can get be rookied for a third year if they 'accept' to do so at request from the club. I think that happened with Spencer? I doubt Evans would turn that down.

'The cut' needs to come from the main list. Not sure what Morton has to do with anything but there are plenty of other players on the block.

I think Evans should be in the Seniors as soon as possible , on the strength of his game v. Bendigo.

What surprised me was the way he's built up his body . Last year he seemed so skinny. Now he looks like a proper AFL midfielder.

And what about the accuracy in those two goals! Both were team-lifting and changed the momentum of the game.

He might not be fit enough yet, but promote him as soon as possible!

Apostrophe crime!!!!

O'MG!

Very few people know how and where to put an apos'trophe and I find it s'imply exas'perating. It would be far better were they not to us'e it at all.

S'ave the apos'trophe!!

    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.
