How about the Darcy Byrne Jones who features mid table of top 10 in nearly all?

Annually we all become drafting experts based on 2 minutes of video It's a bit like the Olympics where every 4 years we become expert judges in things like diving. No splash ..gotta be a 9.4 It's fu

I know they're highlights packages but I found the Freeman video a bit underwhelming. Good speed but just seems to run (granted quite fast) sometimes into then out of trouble and jam it on the boot. D

Come on Fan, give a little. Sylvia was an erratic footballer but curiously he played some of his most consistent footy under Neeld - I would have like to keep him but with Vince as a replacement it's

?? Different Freeman I think - his twitter is "Jono Freeman, Sunshine Coast"

Nice to know Nathan is still in the mix. He certainly appears ready to play.

I agree and especially in regards to cook.

We need players with a more aggressive mindset, a ruthlessness and a remorseless focus.

In other words, another Jack Viney, Ollie Wines type of player.

Players who appear to fit this mould just from observation... Kelly, Crouch, Hartung.

Tom Scully held the big 3 IMO, his results to date have not came to fruition - so far.

Jesse Hogan ticks all 3.

Jack Viney ticks all 3.

We need players with a psychopathic drive to succeed.

That is what the MFC needs.

no we want a strong club/team culture.

so we want obsessive types, totally dedicated to be the best, & to win. & to build a strong unified & inclusive club.

give the psychopaths to the pies

Thought i'd get this guy back on the radar! As I've said elsewhere we will be taking him pick 2 if we don't trade for it. This guy is a gun and just what we need! Kevin Sheehan said as much (about his abilities) recently on SEN and expects him to go top 3

I'm on his bandwagon if we take pick 2 into the draft. Right mix of pace, inside ball winning ability and a solid body that's ready to go. Would slot straight into our side and have an impact working with Viney and Jones.

Would you recruit Usain Bolt to play in the midfield?

Pfft. Jack Watts is faster over 20m than Bolt. Seriously.

I read this and thought... "Surely that can't be right", then I looked it up.

Watts: 2.82sec

Bolt: 2.88sec (2009 WR)

Obviously Bolt is reacting to a gun, so his movement time in the first 20m is more like 2.65-2.70, but this post also highlights just how quick Watts can be.

I really hope that he clicks under Roos and starts playing to his potential, because he is a rare breed: A 6'6 footballer with lightning pace, great skill, and a football brain. I am glad we have him for another 3yrs.

If we don't trade pick 2 I'm another one who has joined the bandwagon for Freeman!

The comparisons to Dangerfield are just too hard to go past. A bit of speed in the midfield

to go with inside game is just what we need. I hope we get him!

We will have selection 2 come draft night.

We will select Nathan Freeman.

He has already been spoken to by us.

I have a feeling we will not be all that active in the trading period. Paul Roos will not trade like we did last year.

40 other rookies have been spoken to by us, doesn't mean that we are going to select them.

He looks the goods but will we be able to also collect young Zac Jones as well with a Sylvia PP (#21?) as i suspect he will not be there by pick #36?

If he wasn't Nathan's brother we probably wouldn't even be talking about him. He's just one of a number of good prospects expected to be taken after the first round. Don't get me wrong the unionship of two brothers is a nice thought but it needs to be taken with a grain of salt for all intensive purposes..

Yeah, I'd expect some real quality to slip outside the first round.

If we get decent comp for Sylvia, I'd be holding onto it and our second rounder.

Getting Shiel for 2 and using our second rounder and Sylvia compo in the draft would be an ideal result.

Not sure what we'll have to give up for Michie, given he has only played one game in a few years.

Sorry I should have said he has been really spoken to. From what I have been told the only way Freeman will not be taken by us is if he is No ! selection.

Please for the love of god can we draft this bloke. He has elite quickness and a big body, exactly what everyone on Demonland has been crying out for.

I love "elite quickness", fantastic description!

Freeman will be a STAR. If we keep #2, he is hard to go past. Strong, fast, determined, skilled and a local lad !!!

we can't pick everyone and a few months ago weren't you calling for us to pick Sheed at 2.

    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.

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.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    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
