If Clark and Frawley are headed for all Australian I think we would be all feeling very good about ourselves.

James Strauss

We need a good kick and decision maker in the backline.

He also has really good speed - perfect rebounding defender.

I refuse to jinx any of our players by naming them in this thread!

Daniel Nicholson.... This thread is talking about contracts right?

We might need to invest in a shredder so we can do Pedersen's and Byrnes contracts at the same time.

Jack Watts, obviously. Time to fire up and become a leader with actions and stop looking for motivation from external sources. It's all in you my friend

I don't care if he becomes a leader or not all I want from him is some desire.

A little pinch of Jack Viney and you could have a great player but then again you could say that for any player.

Put Jack Viney's head on Jack Watts' body and you'd have a brownlow medal.

Has to be Supermitch doesnt it?

This guy is a massive component of the Demons makeup make no mistake.

In saying that he needs the ball delivered to him silver service so Trenners next in line to rip it up.

I only hope that one day soon my team comes back from its 7 year holiday.

I miss them and their replacement are only at VFL level at best.

Mind you there a few good public speakers in the replacement team so all must be good!

Well who would I like to see go well next season. There is Collingwood, MessyDrugs and Brisbane Bears to choose from, oh wait there a team called Melbourne, I think I go for them next season.

Players to improve THE WHOLE MFC TEAM as they done nothing in seven years so they should all be nice and rested.

Love to see on a regular basis, Viney handballing to Toumpas on the Wing, looks up kicks long to Hogan 30m out direct in front Goal. The three house mates ripping it up together.

Watts is the other one, the bloke has copped it from the day he was drafted.

wont it be a joyous ocasions when Nichsolson, Pederson, Byrnes and Dunn are all gone.

And there will be another four whipping boys to take their place.

I agree. Let's not see Watts turn into the next Sylvia and show promise but never consistently deliver.

I'm tipping that with some excellent coaches finally at the club, Jack will be off the chain.

Toump and Trenners. Both have been judged to harshly and had battles with there bodies in there very short period in the game.

I think they will show lots this year and feeling a little smug about how good trenners will be this season.

I would love nothing more than Watts to rip it up. Not sure if he ever will but wow he desserves it to shut some very annoying people up.

Posted

Clayton Collard (which ever league he is playing in...) so H can finally stick it to Sleeve.

MFC wise, Tappy for me. I want Tarzan to play like Tarzan, not Cheetah.

Posted

I would think that the performance of the revamped Midfield will have a lot to do with the improvement of others

Posted

I'm particularly keen to see Toumpas do well simply because some people were so absurdly unreasonable in their criticism and expectations of him last year.

That was an embarrassment.

None of those people have any right to ever complain about anyone else's culture problem. Seriously, writing off an 18 year old without a preseason. Bet you felt big.

Having said that, we have quite a selection of underperformers/injury victims to choose from.

Players I'm confident can improve their performance overall,

Watts, Howe, McKenzie.

Players who have been held back by injury, but clearly have quality.

Clark, Dawes, Gawn, Grimes, Trengove.

Young players who you'd have to have a bit of confidence in seeing progress from

McDonald, Viney, Toumpas, Kent, Clisby, Terlich, Fitzpatrick.

The 'hopeful' or 'last chance' basket.

Strauss, Blease, Tapscott, Bail, Spencer.

But deep down, what we all want is for Nathan Jones to lift yet another notch and, in a more competitive midfield, become recognised as leading midfielder AFL-wide.

Posted

Watts has huge room for improvement and he needs to show it next year, it's his 6th year in the system and it's make or break.

Howe has a tremendous upside and if he can get his act together he could be the player of the year for us; he has the tools but to me he seems as if he just coasts through games.

Dawes if he can stay on the park will surprise a few, he took 12 marks in a game against Hawthorn at the G and showed what he is capable of; needs to do it more often.

Jimmy Toumpas and Jack Watts for me.

    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. 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.

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

    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
