Gippsland Dee

Recommended Posts

6"2', 85kg (no 28) strong mid who plays for the Eastern ranges. Very strong bodied and driven person who goes to my school. Has been named in the best 8 times this year including today in the grand final where he was outstanding kicking 3 goals and was named 2nd best on ground. Today he was great when the game was in the balance and really lifted the team during the 1st and 2nd qtrs. Hits the packs hard and is fearless. Has largely been used as a tagger this year, but he showed what he can do when let free against North Ballarat collecting 28 disposals this year. has played on a number of top prospects keeping them all to far less output than regular, in particular Kade Kolodjashnij who he held to only 11 disposals. He won't be a high draft pick, but may very well be worth a look with a late pick this year, or in the rookie draft.

edit: today he was largely playing on Zac Jones, and from what i could see kept him to little to no influence on the game at all.

Pros - ball winning mid who kicks the odd goal, and already has a defensive side to his game unlike many draftee mids

Cons - American accent

No from me.

yeah, its a speech impediment. Doesn't have any american in him, never been to america, just somehow picked up this accent

That actually happens a lot. I worked with a guy who had a speech impediment when he was younger and he had an accent too. I wonder whether it is due to tapes that teach them to speak coming from the US, or if it's just easier to speak with an American accent

well he has said it was from watching too much tv when he was little, but who knows, it could be from any number of things like what you suggested.

Daniel will at the very least be playing VFL next year as he has offers from bendio Gold, Box Hill Hawks and The Casey Scorpions and others i think but can't remember them. He has told me that Melbourne has contacted him and talked about recruiting him, although they've only only brief discussions he and has family definitely think its a possibility.

Good size frame on the lad. if he has got what it takes then all the best for him. Would he be a rookie option or in the main draft you reckon?

Thanks for the insight.

I definitely think he's good enough to go in the main draft, He tore the stingrays a new one in the GF. He's driven to get the most out of himself, so if he was to miss the main draft and go in the rookie draft, i think that would just push him on more.

That kicking action looks Dan Nicholson-esque, plus he's got some weird speech thing, plus he's from the Eastern Ranges and I don't trust them.

Combination makes it a no for pick 9

Trust me when i say this, his kicking is very good. i've seen video footage of him and seen him at the GF and from what i've seen very rarely misses his targets.

No one said anything about pick 9, more of a late pick.

Good get YD

relevant comments and at least you've seen him play puts you way ahead of Barrett on the other thread.

Nothing wrong with promoting a friend as long as he can play.

I always find your thoughts interesting and never aggressively promoted so keep up the good work

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
