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

?? 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

You are as bad as HH.

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!

Well, from what I know, you've been lied to! How fun!

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.

Not sure!

Can he get the ball and kick it or hand pass???

Hed certainly be able to run and spread

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
