Is Parish very quick? IMO a lot of good outside mids at U18 level are really struggling with the contested brand of AFL footy. (i.e. players like Toumpas and Aish). I feel outside players now need to be super quick like Lewis Jetta and the Hill brothers to be high quality AFL players.

Agree completely, whats your opinion of Rhys Matheison, I reckon he will be a gun and we should take him, loves the contested ball which is a bloody non negotiable these days, soft coxs are iut...and looks to have good skills..IMO he will be the Bontempelli of the draft.

Parish = Dale Thomas and Jack Watts

DARCY TUCKER IS THE MUST. SKILLED TOUGH MEAN COUNTRY TOUGHNESS AND PACE. GET HIM.

Got towelled up in the Nationals Norm.

And there must be two Darcy Parishes. The one I saw was in and under and at every contest.

I feel sorry for the poor bastard who gets the "privilege" of being picked to play at the MFC...

Parish is competitive. Tucker has question marks and his kicking isn't as good as it needs to be as a running half back. We have so many holes. Weitering should be the number 1 priority of we can find away to let Carlton and maybe Gold Coast get ahead of us on the ladder.

Jake Lovett was BOG for Dandenong today. It was his best performance for the year. Hopefully he is firing at the right time.

Have you even watched him play..? Absolutely nothing like Bont. Infact he is a complete opposite.

He needs a fair bit of work on his disposal and cleaness of the ball. No thanks we have enough of them

'Norm', Thomas and Watts are very different types of players so not sure of your point here.

Thomas pre injury was an absolute gun.

Balic. We need his skills.

Balic & Petracca rotating forward and mid would be a real handful I think.

I wouldn't mind a tall like Weiderman though...

Parish for sure.

Parish for sure.

I worry about the skinny kids. We have seen many times skinny kids being aggressive in underage and as soon as they hit AFL they get pushed off the ball easy and lose confidence.

Can you name some 'oilisik'?

Yes I can. You can't?

No, I've seen some skinny kids & not so skinny kids who weren't so aggressive at junior level come into the AFL.

I don't know of any talented, aggressive skinny kids that haven't made it at AFL level that's why I'm asking you to name them.

GWS had a couple of picks 2 in Kelly and O Rourke

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
