Been alot of threads about 'who would you prefer' so I thought I should make one which addresses all of the options and with a poll.

Swallows year in the VFL was something special, i feel his best form would trump the best of anyone else on the list and his worse would still trump most of our list.

Swallow. Was touted as being capable of being the best player of all time.

Martin and Adams are huge risks as both have perceived poor characters.

Swallow or Adams

Definitely not Aish - we need to face it - we can't develop players (name one high draft pick we have developed successfully).

I know development might be better under Roos but still we should get some young semi developed players like Swallow and Adams (then by the end of 2014 we will have a decent culture to develop players in)

- Sloane the pick of the bunch in terms of current ability and character. Perhaps the most unrealistic though

- Martin on raw potential, poses the biggest risk though

- Swallow will be a gun.

If all were attainable easily enough, I'd go:

1. Sloane

2. Martin

3. Swallow

4. Other (Gaff, Daisy)

5. Adams

6. Aish

Here is a comparison of Sloane and Martin on Footywire:

Pretty intreresting

Very interesting reading. I am a huge Sloane fan but would have thought that Martin was well ahead on many of those stats. However, I reckon Sloane emerges from this comparison with a much better overall position. The tackles, marking and contested possession favour Sloane with some strength.

I am always sceptical of stats - I don't really read too much into them. Good for a rough comparison though.

Spot on. Effective disposals was also a surprise for me.

I think Sloane, Gaff, Selwood and Shuey are unrealistic. Adams, Swallow, Martin and obviously the draftees are all potentially obtainable.

My order would be:

Swallow

Adams

Aish/Freeman/Kelly/Sheed

Martin

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

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)

    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
