Interesting comparison with The Wizard Jeff Farmer who was 174cm 80kg when he played for us. JKH is about the same.

Lack of height never hurt Jeff. I remember one year he should have won mark of the year.

1998 vs. Richmond...I remember that mark so clearly; probably the best that I've seen live (I live overseas so have missed many of Jeremy Howe's)

was that not also the year where he ran the length of Waverly, and won goal of the year? I remember thinking he should have been awarded both the mark and goal of the year.

They gave it to one of the softest players' to have ever played the game in Winston Abraham.

That was it, same year.

Abraham's was a good mark coming in from the side, but I thought Farmer's was better.

Iirc it was the last round of the season, and we thumped Richmond.

Tingay was in great form that day, streaming down the wing.

Punt Rd end, Farmer out of seemingly nowhere, launching off of Lyon's back, getting so high it was a simple chest mark.

The stadium erupted.

I'm developing some man love for this fella without him having played yet. He just looks so clean and quick, and has confidence to boot.

Clearly off season is getting to me already.

Let's not put expectations on him just because he is training well. At the end of the day, he is a first year player drafted at 40-odd, so we should set our expectations based on that.

Maybe he was 'drafted at 40-odd' but he was also our 'second pick in the AFL Draft' after our astute trading to bolster the midfield. i am optimistic that when the season proper commences it will reveal that our recruiting team this year have done a good job and made some astute moves, JKH being a prime example and I am confident he will surprise many.

We got a good one, I've specked him for the 2014 brownlow.

I'm really impressed with this kid so far. Even though Roos has said that the new draftees will be eased into AFL football next season, I'd put him as a smokey for round 1.

In that case, you'd think he would be an absolute monte for the NAB Rising Star. :lol:

Yes a very good option for the rising star [along with Viney, Toumpas, Hogan, Salem, Kent and Barry]

Sorry but I beg to differ. Under the AFL Rising Star rules you have to have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season in question so that means Dean Kent (15 games in 2013), Jimmy Toumpas (14) and Jack Viney (13) are all out of contention.

Well it was worth a try. Happy to see JKH, Hogan, Salem and Barry feature nevertheless!

Is Michie still eligible?

To be eligible for nomination, a player must be under 21 on 1 January of that year and have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season.

Michie turned 21 in 2013 and is therefore not eligible.

Four rising star nominations will suffice for 2014 however lovely to see jkh take out the ultimate prize. Loved his confidence to be named as a Round One starter in the latest interview.

YOU are excited!! I am, and haven't even cast eyes on him !!!

GO DEES. BRING IT ON.

JKH

Also known as the Jumping Knievel Hobbit and I expect this is how he will come to play.

Jumps like Wiz!

Knievel like Recklessness!

Hobbit like abilities going unnoticed on field!

Can only hope!

But all reports seem impressive from training.

I want JKH to be our gun small fwd, talk so far is positive, we were very lucky i think to get him at pick 40, training notes on JKH excite me and now i want to see it Round 1 2014...

I think JKH will get second. Since it'll be the first year a bloke wins both the Coleman and the RS.

And by the end of round 2 he will have racked up 4 games, kicked 20 goals and picked up 15 Brownlow votes.

Would love to see a 3 way playoff between JKH, Jack Viney and Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris, as in Jesse Hogan, right?

    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

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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
