Interesting using Frost as a forward! How good would it be if he became our Mitch Clark replacement! Then we would need to fast track young O. McDonald to take over Chip's role.

I feel Dunn took Frewlys spot last season as key Backman.

What i dont understand is why did we pick up Frost to play in the forward when he is a Backmen? Why didnt we just get forward instead then?

So our top 5 draft picks from the 2014 draft won't play a single Nab Challenge game between them.

This is a very different list.

Agree, but dammit if I didn't want to at least get a glimpse of Billy the kid.

If you have nothing to do Saturday arvo, you should be able to see him and Brayshaw at Casey from 12.45 onwards

Not an easy trip from Canberra old fella. Hopefully KC will be reporting.

Didn't realise you were in our wonderful Nations Capital, lived there for 20 years, have a daughter at Wright and one at Yass, is a bit of a hike to Casey, considering whether to go myself, if I do may do a report, depends on what other half is doing, want to see Brayshaw in action myself

What's Frost's set-shot kicking like?

Fair to say i have never seen him take a set shot. Melbourne and GWS.

WOW! Fabulous news!

Looks like our best 22 will be available for rnd 1!

Careful.....

To a point. Realistically it was only Stretch that was a chance with Petracca gone, Brayshaw copping a few head knocks, ANB kneecap issues and Ocar McD not really ready....

Still it takes a bit of pressure of the young guys which can only be good....

It looks average at training. He kicks it too up and under and not overly accurate

TDI just wanted to say a quick thanks for your continued contributions here.

One of the rare few that present information we would not otherwise get from our desk jockey lives. Much appreciated.

Don't be discouraged by the comments of those with nothing better to do. Many of us open this thread simply to read your reviews.

That's your opinion, I made myself lol when i thought that one up, and that is all that matters.

That's a fair call but I'm pretty confident that Brayshaw and Stretch would have been included in NAB Cup/Challenge action at some point in any of the past 8 pre-seasons.

No doubt at all...

He struggles with accuracy and timing when kicking outside 40 metres. As Earl mentioned before, he gets plenty of 'air time' when trying to really slipper it.

which makes me want to see him down the back half particularly given his height, run and carry (and his relative inexperience). Still team balance is the issue and the coaches will make that call.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
