wish they would start releasing the delisted names.

Will be shocked if Tapscott is redrafted as a rookie . IMO the benefit of a mature rookie is that he is fit and playing consistent football in the 2nds just waiting for a long term injury. Tappy is always injured or coming back from an injury and I would be shocked if he has ever strung 8 - 10 weeks in a row of training and playing.

Frosty Demon Deletions: Trengove, Grimes, Watts, Frawley, Garland, Jamar, and ??? Do you think taking the last 5 players in the draft at 110, 111, 112, 113, and 114 will make our list better and giv

I know Sam Blease was told when he came back into the side a few weeks ago that it was his last chance and he needs to show something, I can only assume he will be delisted or traded because of his inability to lock down a spot in the leagues weakest side.

Bleases mentality isn't too different to a track sprinter.
He has no idea how to play as a team and he has a big ego.

The problem with Sam's ego, is that he isn't as quick as he thinks he is.

Because of this, alot of his attempts at scoring and involvement in play result in him trying to be a one man team.

Too often he tries to burn off his opponent, and either gets run down or allows the opponent to effect his disposal to the extent that it becomes a turn over or a missed shot on goal.

Too often sam ignores open option and takes the kick himself from 50, where he had pass options at 20 and 30 meters out.

I could see that he once had potential, but its too late.

Plus, kent has all of sams skills minus a tad bit of sams pace, but kent has the team factor.

I don't see Watts as an effective full forward in this team. He is not a contested marking beast and our disposal upfield is not good enough to utilise his talents.

I see Watts as a Jack Gunston type of player who will be a great converter when he can find space in the forward line and guys up the ground can actually hit him with a pass. Hogan and Watts could be a dangerous combination but our midfield will need to improve to allow this.

I'm not sure how Roos sees Watts but I suspect his trajectory would be similar to Gunston's in a decent side. He only needs a couple of shots at goal a week to be really dangerous. But putting him deep forward would be no value to either him or the side right now.

Seems an age ago this thread - but we discuss it every year.

Hopefully, Watts settles it positively in 2015.

    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
