Jayden has my vote for Pick 3.

Tall mid forward, silk, run and goes all day...

I like the look of this kid. So expect us to pick him, and for him to float around doing SFA for years and polarising supporters.

Well that's good, now having seen his highlights I reckon we should take Brayshaw with 2 and if available Petracca, McCartin, Lever and Laverde with pick 3. Can we take 4 players with one pick?

If he does, then I'll be happy with the pick.

I want all of our picks to have that desire. That competitive streak. It's we're we've fallen down in the past.

Even JKH standing at 174 or so cm doesn't shy away when the ball is there to be won.

It needs to be inherent in their game before they come to our club.

Yeah good post.

We need competitive beasts. JKH is a good example of that. Watts, Morton, Cook etc lacked it big time.

Give me a competitor like Jack Frost (and hopefully his brother is the same). Langford at the hawks shows competitiveness can outlast other skilful attributes. Jetta for us has shown that. he competes. he loves the clinches !!

We have to rely on our new recruiters who can pick players with ability and heart. underline heart.

Jayden's profile and highlight tape are up on the MFC and AFL sites. And it is not too shabby

Understatement. Highlight tape or not (sorry Bossdog :) ), he looks the serious goods.

Don't know much about this kid, but I think I read somewhere however he only gets the pill a dozen or so times a game and is clearly an outside runner.

Reminds me of another Sam Blease and thats not good to me.

I don't proclaim to know much about this kid but credit where credit is due. If you look at him as a pure footballer, his highlight clips represent a type of player for what MFC need.

He may not get a lot of the ball but when he does it's actually really well used. He demonstrates confidence in his ability and sound composure. Wish we could say the same for similar players in our best 22 who only get 10-15 touches a games and fluff a significant proportion of them.

It's a thought provoking avenue this to consider someone like Jayden. Could he be trained into a go-getter type midfielder role? Of course he can.

Is he what our list needs? He's certainly up there for consideration.

Tough job those picking the No 3 selection.

I have greater trust whichever way MFC go with this one at the moment.

I have this awful feeling in my gut that he will go to Collingwood at ND6 and in three years will be a quicker version of Sidebottom...

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
