Had a great start to the season as a small forward but, as with many young players in their debut seasons, his form dropped off as the season wore on.

Just because bold statements are fun...

I reckon this kid is going to be Cyril Rioli, except with more substance and less hype.

And not as one dimensional.

Was going great guns until Queens Birthday and then was pretty awful thereafter. I wonder if Roos might have done things differently if he had his time again. Should become a very good player going forward, although perhaps not the genuine small forward we desperately need.

Showed enough in his first year, also went back and played some good games for Casey after Queens birthday, so that's a good sign. The Adelaide game showed how exciting he can be when he is on. a natural footballer, who seems to know when to choose the right option, and tackles !!

My gut feel is we got one right here. just needs some maturity and consistency.

Not the least bit bothered about a first year player fading in the second half of the season.

I'm as excited about this kid as I am about anyone on the list.

Was impressive fjrst half of the year then faded out towards the end as expected.

One thing has over alot of small forwards is his ability to win alot of the ball. I know when he went back to Casey he was getting 25 plus disposal around the ground.

Reminds me alot of Mathew Stokes and cant wait to see him develope next year again.

He was exciting early but faded dramatically in the last half of the season, being used as a sub often didn't help him.

He needs a big preseason.

Not overly quick for a small guy, but has great agility and a very nice side step.

Creates space for himself and uses the ball cleanly.

Defiantly a bright spot from the 2014 season.

A natural footballer. He's not as fast as Lewis Jetta for example, but hunts the ball, has great agility, and makes the right decisions. Of any of the 'potentials' and 'maybe's' on our list for the past however many years, I've got a very good feeling about this kid. I think he'll end up an onballer on account of the breadth of his abilities. Similar hopes with Salem.

Showed plenty, but also was exposed plenty. A pre-season will help, and I think he could well lock down a spor in 2015. Looks good with the footy, moves well and is pretty good in front of goal.

Fingers crossed he develops further.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
