The long-awaited arrival of the club's son of a gun proved worthwhile as Jack showed the toughness, courage and determination that is a hallmark of the family. A toe injury in midseason curtailed him somewhat but he is well on his way to a stellar career. The only Demon nominated for the NAB Rising Star in 2013.

Talk about living up to the hype.

What an absolute gun who would die for the jumper.

And he's still just 19.

Two things that really stood out for me as I wasnt expecting them - his pace and kicking ability.

Both were very good, I think the perception of him was he was an inside mid that could accumulate possession and maybe lacked some speed and explosiveness.

Well he looked bloody fast to me.

True. Even Melbourne could not stuff up developing Jack into a better player.

They don't even have to do anything. Just tell Jack to stay within a couple of metres of Nathan Jones at every training session and let his competitiveness and desire to improve do the rest

Love father and son in the same club.

Can not wait to see him in 2014.

Not much to really say - basically our only genuine midfield prospect going forward.

I would have liked to have seen what he could do with an injury free year.

The club won't be developing Jack, Jack will develop the club!

He ran 51sec for 400m in the APS sports. This isn't mega fast but indicates mid to high 11sec for 100m.

so refreshing to have a kid get some serious runs on the board in his first year

I really, really hope his endeavour is something that winds up setting a standard for the group

G I ran 51.7 when I was 12 so it isn't ultra fast (or maybe I was fast!) but he has a great ticker and will die for the club so we just need more of those!

Impressive. 2 secs outside the world record for a 12 year old. If you had done that time a year earlier you would still hold the gong

Him and Kent need to work on their set shots.

Suspect that he and Kent might have to work on getting their bodies up to AFL standard first, as 19 year olds.

Never been so confident that one of our player will become a star. (never said that about anyone before - except maybe Hogan)

Destined for big things and a steal at pick 26.

Will be one of our main mids in 2014.

Interesting isn't it. I agree with your optimism but what makes you and I so confident? It is that he is physical, passionate, aggressive and confident. His skills may or may not be elite, who knows at this stage but we are confident he will make it. These guys find ways to compensate and develop their strengths.

Now there are one or two of these personality types in every draft but not always blessed with sublime skills. I really believe you should zero in on these types when drafting, they won't all work out but if you got 2 or 3 of them right you could be suddenly playing finals footy.

I was never much good at Sport as a kid but Aths was one of my strong suits - let me confirm that a 51sec 400m is rather fast for a kid to be running. Impressive!!

of course it is, it's about 20 seconds from goal line to goal line

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
