Greg Clarke the one to watch from WA underager in the U/18 championships this year playing across Half Back. Smooth mover and was given the occassional run in the Subiaco Colts (coached by Stevie Armstrong) through the midfield and showed a bit.

Will be very interested to see what they do with him this season. He will be drafted just a matter of where he goes another Northern Suburbs boy from the Sorrento-Duncraig production line

Top 5 already...

Parish

Tucker

Mathieson

Burton

Cole

O'Kearney, Schache, Stewart and Weitering could be around the mark too.

I think he was being talked up as a first round pick a while ago, but these things change during the year.

Still think he's a first rounder, but probably fringes of the top 10 rated kids at this stage.

Someone tell him to put the brakes on. Or at least get him to play for Manangatang 3rds.

Any idea where Jake Lovett would go if on the open market?

I hope he is like his father - slow, thighs like treetrunks, couldn't jump - and an absolute champ....

Brett had the wonderful ability to find space where there was none. Surrounded by four opposition players, deep in the back pocket, and Father Time slow generally meant the odds were heavily in Brett's favour. Bit of a hip shimmy and out would come a perfectly weighted handball to a running Melbourne player.

Along with Sean Wight one of my all time favourite players

As others have said another Demon team featuring Lovett, Stretch and Viney can only be a good thing

Not a ruckman mentioned, after a couple of years of limited new ruck intakes already.

Competent full-time ruckmen could be the next 'shortage' player type, with ridiculous, long and overpriced contracts and top trade value.

Also suggests that even a rough-and-tumble, slightly goofy ruckman could become a valuable asset overpowering scrawny young or part-time rucks filling the generational gap.

Jake Spencer may yet get through to 100+ games.

Wouldn't let the shortage of ruckman in the 2015 draft this far out bother me or even in 12 months time if there is a perceived lack of ruck stocks

Darren Jolly, Dean Cox, Aaron Sandilands, Ivan Maric, Sam Jacobs, Shane Mumford and Mike Pyke have all been significant contributors to their sides over the last 15 years. There will always be ruckman popping up.

    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

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.

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)

    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
