Only knows one way and that's straight forward! love this guys toughness and willing to take the game on. He is our Steven Morris and will only get better.

Needs to tidy up his disposal but that will come with experience. If you saw some of his SANFL highlights he is a dead eye kick.

Fair to say he has taken over nicho and I think he will find it really hard to break back into the side if Terlich keeps his form up.

You beat me to it! Lacked some polish today, but that will come with game time. You cannot fault this kid's endeavour!

A bit of competition for a spot in the side is just what we need!

for a player who has played 2-3 games he seems to have an old head on his shoulders, which is nice!

and i'm sure he has alot of improvement left in him as he finds his feet at AFL level

Hes doing exactly what every player should do, and that is go 100% hard 100% of the time and never give up until the ball is dead

Kid is a warrior

So far neelds recruiting doesn't look too bad. Terlich, Viney, Jones, Byrnes and even pedo showed a bit today.

Love the way he doesn't get discouraged when he makes a mistake. Just puts his head down and works his ass off to make up for it. We need more attitudes like his.


Posted

Can't really remember what it was specifically but there was a passage of play where he not only put in a hard second effort but then he put in the third. He won me over at that point.

I am a fan of this guy. He comes from up Albury way, so I spose i was following him closer than the other recruits.

I cant be more impressed. As commented hes only played 3 games. He definately looks a long term player.

Hes hard, quick, skillfull. Can only see him getting better.

Posted

I was particularly impressed, I think in the last Q, not by a bad fumble running into the 50 but by his second and third efforts in getting his own ball back. Gutsy stuff and a shining example to many of his colleagues.

Posted

He is a kamikaze player - and even though he gets caught from time to time, he stays strong and can get a disposal away.

Not overly skilled but I like what he brings to the table. If we were to play in a final tomorrow (LOL) I'd be picking him ahead of much more skilled teammates who perhaps don't possess his kamikaze approach (you know who I'm referring to).

Does Neeld get credit for bringing him to the club or does Todd Viney as the head recruiter at the time?

I had the same thought today! He is a really hard worker and loves the tough stuff. People can bag Neeld all they like about his game day coaching (which obviously needs improvement) but I think the guys he has brought into the club via the drafts are exactly the guys we need - tough and willing to do the hard yards to get better. No Morton's on Neelds watch.

Dean is what the game's always been about.

Jack should have a close look.

Pretty sure he stuffed up a kick around half forward but kept running with GWS players all over him and he tackled and kept going for the ball again and eventually held it up in the forward line. Mistakes don't bother me we are going to make plenty but it's what you do afterwards. He didn't point fingers or just stand there. He busted his butt.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
