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.

Some random notes from Thursday night:-Jason Taylor and Todd Viney covered most aspects of their roles in recruiting and list management respectively and shed some light on the decision-making behind

Hardwick has regularly been referred to as a poor mans Petracca with similar traits... Not bad. Christian Petracca hasn't yet played a single game of AFL but there's already a poor man version of him

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

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...

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
