They are very light on for ruckmen and I'm surprised they didn't go after Stef Martin when we were negotiating with them for Dawes.

If the aging Jolly goes down, they're really cactus.

Was thinking exactly that when I saw their delistings.

Delist Spencer and get Wood. Rate him much higher.

wood is rubbish compared to spencer

If someone was rubbish compared to Spencer they wouldn't be playing in the AFL. I admit Wood isn't a star but in my opinion he'd do a better job than Spencer as a back up ruckman.

No to all of them. I am still unconvinced about Rodan and he is leaps ahead of all these from the Pies.

And strangely enough, he finds himself not on AFL list. It's a real skill to somehow accidentally argue against your own point.

I remember reading a detailed article by Wisbey comparing the two best ruckmen of the u18 competition at the time: Cameron Wood and John Meesen. Wow.

Whilst holding nothing personal against Jolly, one can only hope that the second half of your sentence comes true.

I haven't looked at their list closely, but is the big Q the only alternative ruckman now?

Hallelujah - will their Golden Boy Bucks under as much pressure as Golden Boy Jimmy at Bummerland? He certainly will be if they drop many rungs on the ladder in 2013.

Nil all draw there.

Brisbane and Adelaide were sold though.

Touche... I do think he'll find a home though and I still think he is a better option than Spencer.

Despite stuffing my argument up there

Isn't this why they went for Lynch? An each way bet on rucking and forward.

Lynch may or may not fit the bill as a forward/ruckman but if Jolly falls over he can't fill the role of #1 ruck. Can anyone imagine him against Cox or Sandilands?

They have Jarrod Witts developing nicely.

Spencer may surprise you, I think he will come on in the next couple of years.

He is a huge unit, and competitive......fantastic if he does (I reckon he will!).

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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. 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
