Another Blue and Red win!

Great hearing the song but I can't get my head around the words, "the team played fine in the year 29"?

5AA commentators praising coach Nathan Bassett and suggesting he's about to embark on an AFL coaching career.

Could he possibly be in Paul Roos' sights!

I'm hoping he is our senior assistant.

It wouldnt surprise me WJ, he has a great record. What did you think of Aish's game ?

The lyrics contain the reference to 2 premiership years 1929 and 1946

they say 46 six six six to rhyme with the we were hard to lick lick lick

Haha them croweaters are pretty funny

Bet Neil Balme has a smile on his face

As for Bassett i think he will come to the AFL

After a 2-3 year Roos apprenticeship he would be ready

Feather in his cap is he has a defensive style of game plan

Winning a premiership in the SANFL is how Clarkson got the gig at the Hawks

Basset today won back to back

Watching on iview right now. I have to say I like the look of Aish. I'd call him rangy rather than skinny. He'll never be a powerhouse but he could wind up with a Jobe Watson-type build to go with good pace and really nice skills. Totally worth taking at 2 if we still have it.

If Jobe Watson isn't a powerhouse than I don't know who is.

I didn't see the game but listened on radio. Aish and Dumont played well in the first half but both faded after half time. I'm taping the game when it's on ABC1 later in the week but won't get to watch it until I return from a trip overseas.

The radio commentators were pretty happy with both youngsters and I was happy to catch the vision of Billy Stretch from the reserves game. I was genuinely surprised at his talents. Hopefully, he gets to spend some of next year at Casey like Jack Viney did last year.

"So hard to kick goals against from stoppages." That's another area we're weak in that Norwood do well.

This is the first time I've seen Aish play and I can say that he isn't a bit like Morton. He's skinny, but in a long kind of way and he isn't afraid of contact. As I said above, I can see him developing a build similar to Jobe Watson. His skills are very impressive, in particular that they hold up under pressure. I think he'd be well worth it if we can't get an outright gun in trade for pick 2.

Apparently we have spoken to everyone including him so speculation builds. after all it is a big decision!

Jack, he would be the perfect fit.

He knows the words to the song and he doesn't really need to wait 10 weeks to sing it.

Very highly doubt Aish will get to Watsons build.. Watson is a solid 96kg with powerful legs. Aish will be lucky to clock 82 kg. If anyone he will most likely have the build of a Kade Simpson or Dyson Heppell.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
