Nah, too early.. Third round and should be there.

Dumont, Dunstan, Crouch or Taylor - one will be there at 20/21 and are all quality players.

I think Dunstan might be there and I'd take him before Jones, not sure the others will be there.

Although, Brodie Grundy slipped last year - as did Kennedy and I expected both to go top ten, especially Grundy.

Grundy is something else.. Never seen someone so young who can dominate as a ruck like he did against Hawthorn. I was salivating over him watching those taps and follow ups.

how he got to 18 is insane, thought gws would take him at 3

Nathan Jones' 17 year old brother is tearing it up at the Dandenong Stingrays'

He's just been on the TAC future stars show.

Assuming he's of the same attitude and application as his bro, grab him now recruitment team. I want more Jonesies. Brothers of most of our other players need not apply.

I will admit I haven't seen him play- anyone have footage? But I'm growing warmer to this brothers playing in the same team thing. Is it something that Roosey will go for?

Imagine we had brothers again playing in the same team. I think it would only have a positive affect on the team having that kind of bond and the rest of the players can feed off that.

Kirk as assistant coach.

Trade pick2 for swallow or use pick2 for scharenberg.

Next pick, zac jones.

We must get zac jones. He is a lock.

Use pick2 if we have too.

i reckon we will get a PP at the end of round 1 . maybe mid 1st round

could be the perfect spot to get Zak

Prioity Pick will be 9 or 10 Wherever Essendon was going to be Makes sence as no other teams can complain

Just had breakfast with a hawthorn recruiter prior to him going off to watch more games and he stated that Zak Jones performance yesterday has moved him into the mid to late 20's and if he was to really shine next week he would really solidify his status in the 20's.

Zak Jones was best on ground playing for the Dandenong Stingrays in their preliminary final and will take his place in the grand final v Eastern Ranges who are hopeful of having the favourite for # 1 draft pick, Tom Boyd available.

I think you would change your mind if you saw all the Grimes Kids. They younger they are the better they are.

Kid needs to settle down with this good form or he won't be there at our 3rd round pick.

Too right! Nate, get into his ear and make him have a shocker, maybe even spit the dummy at his team mates, the coach and the umpires a couple of times. All with a wink, of course.

That would be impossible. It's not in the Jones DNA.

Best we start staging a few photos of him emerging from nightclubs & knockshops & get 'em out on social media

Get him urinating on some nightclub bars or kicked out of the casino inebriated.....

So unlike MFC players ;);)

Lets try a Jack Darling approach

I heard Zak Jones has behaviour issues and likes the night club action. "I think he is like Dayle Gartlett and wose than Jack Darling" said one recruiting agent.

BUT SERIOUSLY ZAK JONES CAN PLAY & MFC MUST GET ...

Zak Jones put in a starring performance in last week's comeback win over Calder Cannons, with 28 disposals, 10 tackles and 10 clearances.

The hardened half-back has moved into a midfield role and is also pushing up the draft order after a stellar season.

"He's become an elite player at this level," Yeats said.

"He's tough, runs straight, competes, and would eat a footy. He's a little bit mad, so we give him very simple instructions about his role and we let him go."

Slow down Zak!!!

If we lose Sylvia which to be honest i think we probably will unfortunately, we should get around pick 25 as compo, i'd use that on Jones, yes it's possibly pulling the trigger early but if you had to personify what our side needs, this guy does.

The more I hear, the more I like. I would be willing to spend an early second rounder on him, he sounds like just what we need, and I like the idea of the Jones boys playing together- pushing each other, and the sense of brotherhood and unity this list needs.

Get it done MFC or I'll be dissapointed.

Not a chance. First of all he won't be rated that highly and secondly we will no doubt be taking at least one FA ourselves, so the compo will be diluted. Most likely if we take Cross and Sylvia walks it will be seen as an even swap.

    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

    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.
