HOW GOOD IS THIS KID?

One of the few smalls we have who loves a goal, and knows where they are!

He has gone under the radar, and looks to have the edge on JKH.. In my eyes, has abit of the Pulopulos about him.. I think he could be a real livewire for us in the next few years!

Loved his first mark. Owed himself and his teammates after his not so impressive marking attempt last week.

I'm a big fan.

It's great to see him hitting the scoreboard and contributing to the team so early in his career, but he's an inside midfielder. He's only playing up forward due to lack of fitness and to get him into the speed of the game. He'll build up strength and fitness and move into the midfield full time. We still need to find a competent small forward for when Garlett is gone or not in form. Kent might be that player, I don't think JKH is.

I'm really excited by him. Got dropped, went back to the VFL and racked up 40 touches in the midfield. He's going to be a key player in our midfield for the next 10 years. It's a bonus he can take a strong grab and hit the scoreboard!

Kent, salem, Frost, Petracca, trengove.. All best 22

A fit list will create a few headaches for selection next year!!

Also a fit Pedersen! (Could even go back to defence!!)

Dunno about the Pulopulos bit yet but agree with the rest.

Be happy if you were right though.

We have a handful of young players from picks in Round 2 right through to the rookie draft that are looking quite likely. There is at least a couple of good players out of ANB, Stretch, Harmes, JKH etc. And for me, I think ANB looks the most likely out of that lot.

Has Rory Sloane written all over him. Tough, fearless and wins the hardball.

Will be a beauty for us in years to come. And to think he didn't even do a pre season due to his knee injury its first class the way he has manage to play 6 games and contribute. I think next year he will be easily best 22 in our midfield.

I also attended training yesterday. Was a fantastic day, bloody hot, but considering we didn't have a Qld game last year or this year, it was worth the red skin that I'm now plastering with aloe vera.

...

ANB - hard to make a call given I didn't see him pick up a footy. That said, he's a beautiful mover - is really light on his feet. Not sure why, but I think he'll be a very good player. Am I basing this just on his running? Not sure. I'll just call it "the vibe".

...

2015 will see more frustration. I think we will starting beating sides, not just winning. We will still lament the games that we could've won but didn't due to silly mistakes. I think 2015 will set us up for a reasonable crack at finals in 2016.

Posted this after one of the Maroochydore preseason training sessions - pretty satisfied with my "vibe" at present with regards to young Nibbler.

Thought I'd include the last line of my training report from the same day.

If you want this week's lotto numbers, just ask.

Not a bad effort Billy!

A poor mans spelling of Puopolo one would assume..

You can both get jeffed.. Puopolo. Clasic Demonland attacking posters not talking about the subject..

Puopolo's- reffering to him being of similar "ilk" is that better?

Dead right, Coup, "ilk" is another word people blatantly misuse to sound stylish.

Or so methinks.

Sister city to Gotham apparently...

I'm pretty sure Gotham's sister city is Bludhaven (before it was destroyed).

Sorry, inner nerd got the best of me.

Think he will be a permanent fixture in the best 22 next year. Has moved ahead of our fringe players already.

His upside is promising.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
