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!

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
