He is so unlike Cook that it is not funnily! Cook was recruited as a KPP (CHF?), Barry as a running outside midfielder. Where is the comparison?

Barry is going to be a gun anyway.

Casey Scorpions beat fourth placed Werribee by 2 goals but It's a significant victory because it enables the Scorps (7th) to stay in the finals race.AFL Victoria Development League

Casey Scorpions 4.6.30 6.6.42 9.9.63 14.17.101

So Barry was not in the best six in the reserves at Casey

Hmm seems to be coming from a long way back

Barry looks all class when involved but definitely needs to get involved more, working harder off the ball. Nathan had a shocker, did a bit in the last, got floored late at one stage and belted in guts after. Maia looks better than someone playing only his fourth game

Maybe he was playing a certain role, or focusing on certain things for his development, it is the "development league".

Stuie that is a nice way of disguising the fact that it is the reserve of the reserves for an AFL team.

I also get a little tired of this " he was playing a certain role"

Sounds like excuses to me.

We made similar excuses for Cook, Maric, Gysberts, Bennel and numerous others.

Now I have not written Barry off, I just thing he is starting very slowly.

As always time will tell.

Just think it's pretty early to be ripping up his contract like some here seem to be edging towards.

I'll be interested to hear what the MFC VFL report says this week about him.

In the end he's a project type player, we're taking our time developing him, I believe he'll be worth it from what I've seen, but that's just me. We can't have it both ways, we can't say "develop our players properly" while at the same time saying "why isn't this kid we just drafted dominating every game?!".

    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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
