Not sure who you're having a go at here mate but all I can see in your post is that you've cut and pasted bits and pieces.

My post was this.

...and I stand by it. Getting your head knocked off backing into a pack does not prove you are an inside player and Jimmy T is not.

I have never said he's an inside player. I have debated the notion of him being soft, as others of your ilk imply. My examples are simply to illustrate this fact as you and your mates constantly overlook Toump's hardness. He goes when he has to. His role has never been an "inside" role. Look at his tapes. With a decent midfield around him you will see this. He is a very good user of the ball. Given the time and opportunity, he will show this when PR sees fit.

He's definitely an outside player at the moment and needs to develop an inside game, that's code for get his own ball.

Correct, he is an outside mid. Has played high half forward in his 2 AFL games. At Casey, playing hbf rotating onto the wing and using those skills superbly.

Salem and Toump to come in this week.

He is one of the softer players in the team in the JW category, stop making out he is a hard nut, because at the moment he is not. Just because some bloke knocked him out in Alice doesn't make him any softer, and we know the rest, sublime skills etc

You won't have found me saying he's soft anywhere on this forum, in fact you won't find me saying anyone that plays AFL is soft.

You will see that I have been disappointed in his output to date and expected a bit more from him after seeing some of his SA senior football. I have been surprised at how he has been pushed out of the contest way too easily. He needs to address this before he will make an impact at AFL level.

I've also been disappointed in his kicking, which is his strength. A lot of his kicks have been dinky give and gets, he is a much better kick than this and I'm sure he will use this kicking weapon better with more experience and good coaching.

Hip Ops affect your core strength, but point taken.

...agreed. His kicking could be better, but what have his options been? No forward structure to kick to in general, but he has fluffed a few admittedly. Agree with the back end of your comment. I'm not an apologist for anyone, it's just that I would hate to see the Toump,have to put up with the same JWR stuff for the next 5 years.

Meanwhile, still awaiting your continued thoughts on leadership Machsy.

You can keep waiting.

I'm not going to go over well-worn and frequently discussed ground.

If you need it explained to you that there's more to leadership than onfield actions, then there's not much I'm going to be able to do to help you.

It is on-field leadership that we have lacked since Neitz.

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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.
