Twice did he run backwards into packs and took a contested mark; laid two tackles (the equal of Sylvia and more than Watts, Blease and McDonald) and desperately ran into at least three contested passages of play.

We could hardly get it inside 50 all night to his disadvantage. Nevertheless, he did more in the last quarter of the year than half the list has for the entire season.

Liking the recruiting under Neeld so far. Clark has obviously been a big success (up until the injury), Seller deserves another year and has looked pretty good in spots, Taggert had something special about him in the little game time I saw him play (pace, strength and penetrating kicking) and Tynan looks like he has great upside. Can't help notice the difference in body types as opposed to the recruiting under Bailey and earlier.

Well observed - these are the players that will ignite this club.

Desperate, hungry young men that are prepared to work hard and really want to play AFL footy.

Forgot to add Couch and Magner.. they fit the bracket!

For the time being. Can't say they do much more than try hard and put themselves on the line (which, of course, is admirable). They are not particularly skilled enough for the longer term. Poor disposal and questionable decision-makers.

Do believe the others mentioned show some early promise.

No they don't.

So you don't think they are desperate, and have a desire to work hard to play in the AFL? A year or two out from the draft really shows which players have the desire to play at the highest level - some work their arse off in the VFL to earn a rookie spot while others give it up and get on with their lives. Magner and Couch are the former IMO.

Are you guys taking the [censored]? How did second-stringers like Sheahan, Williams and Couch enter the discussion? They don't hold a candle to young Tynan.

On topic: admittedly I haven't noticed his skill sets so I am rating him based mostly on intangible qualities. But like his brother Luke, Josh appears to be a solid, reliable worker and has a future with us.

At the moment I would prefer to have Luke working the half back line over Dunn and Watts....

I think the kid will be a brick wall at half back when he gets older. I remember seeing his highlight reel, looked like a legacy to get the ball past him.

I don't think Couch is good enough for AFL and Magner is just a battler. I would be shocked if we couldn't find better late in the draft. I would prefer to turn Gysberts around mentally and get him fit for once, draft a few mids including JV and maybe trade for one as well. I would try and rookie fast, small, goalkickers and hope that at least one makes it.

I reckon Josh is a good kid and really has a lot to offer but I wouldn't right off Sheahan so quickly.

Gotta like this kid. He looks the goods, has an impressive physique for a younger player and has grunt. He will be in starting 22 next year.

I think Josh Tynan will prove a valuable pickup. And Jai Sheahen looked great at Casey one day. But that is all I can say about the later.

I suspect that Couch and Magner are both battlers

Maybe, maybe not, but Magner & Couch can fill in, whilst the draftees develop. And they cause competition for spots.

No doubt that they were recruited simply to fill a few gaps over the next year or two while Neeld develops the younger players or trades for better ones. They do enough but there was a reason why they were overlooked for so long. Can't fault their endeavour, courage or work ethic but they won't be around for the long haul.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
