I didn't see anything to enthuse me. But it's his first game, in a poor team getting a touch up against a quality opposition, so I am holding any judgement until we see more.

His 'chase' after turning the ball over on 50 was concerning, but it was his first game. At least he got involved in the play a bit.

I'm not sure what could possibly be seen to enthuse anyone with an underdeveloped key defender. It's why I was a tad surprised by his selection.

He will learn from every game he plays and meanwhile will develop physically, to a stage where he can compete with hardened footballers.

On what basis was he given this game?? Not in best at Casey over a period of weeks, so if you are rewarding form then how did he get a game??

Its the end of the season, every team not in finals contention promotes kids to give them a taste of AFL footy, whether they are dominating VFL or not

Its happened since forever and will always happen

I thought he showed something, clearly needs another couple of years in the system to develop physically but the raw ingredients are there.

would like to see young White given a run next week at the expense of Matt Jones or someone like that.

His disposal was somewhat average, but that can be attributed to nerves.

I didnt think he was ever really convincingly beat 1 v 1, which is a really good sign for a first game key defender who at every occasion fremantle dragged deep.

Ironically, he reminds me of when his brother debuted at the end of 2011. Raw, but gave us an idea what he could produce once he puts on some muscle.

NO!! NO NO..

NO!

Surely it's a sign that Fitzy's gone? He never got back in the team after tunnel ball.

Yes despite his holding the Western Bulldog's $1M man to a single possession and some BOG performances for Casey. I am not sure why we are not playing a 200cm KP player who can ruck and play both ends? Maybe we should trade him so he can replicate what Steph Martin did at another Club! Edited by CBDees

He had concussion so had missed the last 2 or so weeks in the VFL. Has he shown potential in games to be a similar player to Stef Martin and go to another club and play consistently good football? Not at all.

Fitzy if 50/50 for next year depending on how Jason Taylor see the athletic KP players in the draft

So you miss two weeks with concussion (like Jetta) and you suddenly become 50/50 with no potentional? I think that the clip in the link below from his last game suggests that there is some upside with Fitzy!

We have a winner here Id say , at the right height with time to devolop physically will be a better player than the muppet at the other end Zac Dawson

He was ok, disposal is not up to it, bit like his brother with the kicking but he didn't disgrace himself and reckon has a future

I thought he was OK.

Will develop into a good player.

He was absolutely stuffed. Underdone and not ready but will be better for the run.

Gave it a go and seemed confident with the ball even against top opposition even if his disposal was bad at times. At least he doesn't hyperventilate and fluff most of his possessions like some of the team's 100+ gamers. His errors were genuinely a product of him just having zero tank. Give him a break.

You completely misunderstood my quote and took it out of context. But you were wondering why he didn't play and I gave you the reason

What I said was he has not shown potential similar to what Stef Martin had, in order to clarify this further so you understand, this is in regard to AFL football. Stef had several games where he played as number 1 ruck and showed that he has the level recquired to be a consistent AFL footballer but when moved into the resting positions of CHF or CHB he seemed to struggle to get involved.

I still maintain Fitzy is 50/50 to stay on the list next year, which hardly means he has no potential, but rather if the list managers think there is an athletic KP player that they would rather give 5 years into then they will take him.

Fitzy consistently plays solid VFL football but struggles at AFL, which is not really new knowledge to most.

Dawson is a much better player than he gets credit for.

For an under-developed teenager and potential KPP, I reckon I'd take him at pick 53 in 9 out of 10 drafts.

Has cemented his spot in good sides for almost a decade. Got under Hogan's skin for a while there as well. Important piece of Freo's defense, which is the best in the league (although "defense" in the AFL embodies the whole team across the ground).

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
