Sydney have this tradition of applauding every time one of their debutantes gets a possession. I like it. I don't know how long they've been doing it, but it's great reinforcement and a nice touch.

Great news! And to think all the rookie list players have all debuted except King.

This is a major testimont to Jason Taylor and his crew!

I noticed Freo doing it as well last week each time Langdon got the ball

All first year players other than Petracca.

Or a further kick in the nuts to our previous recruitement.

Actually, I think I might be confusing Sydney with Freo.

Hope he's as good as the last White that played for Dees, or better still as good as the last Wight to play for the Dees

Sure do...

I like what I've seen of this kid so far. Something about him has me excited. Captain and best and fairest winner at the stingrays last year. Of course, has a long way to go but if he can make the grade, he and Salem coming off the back flanks for the next decade will be fantastic! Some run, aggression and bullet kicking! Let's hope! I wish him all the best this weekend

Contests hard and has a lovely left foot.

That's all I've ever dreamt of. Sounds like a Hawks player.

Good luck young blood.

'A long raking left foot kick'. Us oldies will immediately think of the great Stuart Spencer. Sorry, I'm salivating at the thought. But don't get too excited by this post. I reckoned Sam Blease could be our new Bluey Adams but sadly was very wrong. It would be good though to get one out of two right. Here's hoping. Good luck to Mitch.

Well done Mitch. From all reports you have earned the elevation. May you continue the long run of former rookies who have prospered as a Demon.

Not as excited as me!

Ok I have rated this bloke for a long while

Without wishing to put the mozz on

1 He has a cool head

2 Silky smooth left footer

3 Plays taller than is

4 Shows no fear

5 Has run and carry

6 Reads play exceptionally well

7 Loves sneaking forward to snare a goal!

Start salivating!

Wait a minute , Bobby!

I'm pretty sure Stuart was a right footer!

Long, raking drop kicks...and stab passes...yes! But not out of the backline..... wasn't he a rover/forward?

He also was able to take a hanger... I think he took the first hanger I ever saw.

I'm trying to think of a Demon left footer with long, raking kicks from the backline . Matthew Febey? Surely there are others! Help!!

Sean Wight was a very underrated player - probably played in the shadow of the great Jimmy, but he was a superb, athletic defender - very attacking and fantastic to watch.

One of the finest moustaches the game has ever seen.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
