Its sounds like Jetta is showing some good signs, but he needs more time, to ramp it up.

Georgiou for mine too.

Posted

Georgiou for sure, he is in my best 22

Yes it seems that way, especially after Roos said he wasn't a big fan of playing first year players and I don't think Jetta has done any better than Georgiou.

Posted

So Riley is on the LTI, but who else is likely to go on it? Clark? Dawes? Wonder how far off Jamar truly is from playing.

The Cats put 3 on their's the other day, however they are in a good position to blood young rookies due to all the experience they have.

Posted

Clearly we don't have the inside information on Mitch Clark and his current issues but if an assessment is made that they can't be satisfactorily resolved in the short term, then perhaps he should be put on the LTI in the hope that he will come back fit and refreshed for the second half of the season.

In the meantime, this would allow Georgiou to be elevated in his place and reward in form Neville Jetta with a place in the team for round 1.

As much as we would all like to see him fit and refreshed and playing, this is a team sport and we need to look at turning the situation to the team's advantage and give players like Georgiou and Jetta their opportunities.

Wadr WJ theres ni hipe in hell that Clark currently presents as anything other than LTI (at best )

Even doinf lazarus its be months before he could don a 1st's jumper now.

Best to put him directly on the list and leave him be.

so we have 2 vacancies now as I see it. It just is :(

I'm assuming you agree with me then?

WJ...you inferred an IF.. I suggest theres none. Otherwise. ..yes :)

I can see demonland going into meltdown when Jetta gets upgraded and takes JKH's spot in rd 1 as our crumber.

Georgiou is the common sense upgrade to play as our 3rd key defender.

Not likely to happen on yesterday's form.

Jetta was good as a small defender and JKH had an ordinary day. Mind you, it's hard to be a crumbing forward when all the play is in defence and your midfielders constantly pass the ball backwards to the opposite defensive flank or into the back pocket to a one on one or straight to an opposition forward.

No inference at all. It's just that my auto-translate app isn't working and I was having trouble with the first half dozen words of your post but I did get the gist of it. :)

Anyhow, it wouldn't surprise if there were two rookie elevations this week and the inclusions of Georgiou and Jetta will IMO prove to be more valuable additions to the team than many would think.

Love me some Alexis Georgiou

Cult figure in the making and will play round 1 for sure

It will be really interesting when Garland is back, can Garland, Frawley, Mcdonald, Georgiou, Grimes, Terlich and Dunn all work together, or does a Garland or a Dunn potentially go forward?

Mcdonald was also drafted as a CHF

Posted

Pretty sure he was drafted as a versatile tall who could do either end.

Exactly, we are light on for tall forwards but tall backs just now we are doing alright, i reckon Roosy would be considering that.

Posted

Mcdonald cant kick

But at least hes on the park :rolleyes:

it will prob be georgiou. but I'm looking forward to seeing harmed develop, likeable type.

Posted

Interesting call on McDonald. Reckon he could maybe play similar to Lachie Henderson and swing between the two

Posted

McD up forward. Gimme some of what you guys are on

I reckon Frawley, Garland and Georgiou can hold up as a solid backline, Mcdonald and Garland could interchange as the forward option, i believe both have the capacity to play either end

Posted

And I hope no-one tries to tell me that will be Cameron Pederson

    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.
