where does that leave clint bartram aswell? aperently he hasn't even been sighted at training?

Jetta, Bartram and Davis yet to sign.

I am sorry guys but I am also a supporter of MacDonald. He is a hard at it type and has a good presence. I personally consider that he has more consistency about him than Sellars and we must remember that the other two were first round draft picks.

His turnovers kill me. Will never be a supporter while that continues and it will. Not up to AFL standard. The day he goes will be the day you know MFC are starting to turn into a real AFL team.

Bartram's retirement has probably saved one of MacDonald/Sellar. I really hope they now sign Jetta.

I don't really think it was better than any other season, but whatevs. Each to their own.

I detest the disposal efficiency stat, so I see nothing in that.

Its a horrible stat - inside midfielders get crueled by it as they are always getting possies in tight and need to dispose quickly and that can impact the number. To me a backman's disposal efficiency ( especially since most teams play the extra man down back) should be better than an inside midfielder.

good to see these 3 re commit to the club. I think Sellar definitely has his best footy ahead of him as he was gaining momentum and more confidence in his body the more he played.

Dunn is a good role player and has his games where he stands up really well. Macdonald is a back who we need imo as he is a big body and has the needed experience for the team.

2pm tomorrow we will know the fate of davis and jetta pre the draft.

then I believe we can delist again before list lodgement 3 if we want to participate in the PSD so they both will probably be sweating until the 29th of november...

Agreed.

IIRC, a kick which misses the target but is later recovered by the target is also effective. It's just mindboggling.

Pretty much all depth players, Dunn may have a permanent role but Sellar and MacDonald should be stop gaps.

= I'd rather stick to my subjective opinion and ignore the facts??

well list lodgement two is up.. now If i am right, we are unable to delist any players until after the draft up to list lodgement three (23rd-29th of november.) if we use all four picks 4.49.53 and 70 in the draft we may still see one of davis/jetta delisted to make a spot for pick3 PSD

    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

    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.
