haha. Wow.

Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

Not hoping for much but there is your Howe replacement if he has decent mitts...

    Classic Burgan mistake.

    Joel Smith | Victoria | 64 | SG

    Smith was a member of the Australian U19 squad in last years Pacific Championships and was one of the key players coming off the bench, averaging 10.3 ppg & 3.3 rpg on 49% FG. Smith was also a member of the Australian squad that attended the 2014 Nike All-Asia Camp in June.

    You can watch him score 18 points here -

    Somehow I don't think we are going to find any footy highlights ...

    I will be down at Casey so I will see how he develops next season.

    Vaguely heard about this 6 months ago, but hadn't heard anymore.

    Welcome and good luck Joel!

    "He tests sub 2.80 [20 metres]. Given his basketball , hes got good speed, agility and vertical leaping. Hes also got a solid endurance base, he said."

    This made me think, hmm thats fast:

    20m sprint 2015

    Alex Morgan - 2.88 seconds

    Kurt Mutimer - 2.88

    Liam Jeffs - 2.89

    Daniel Rioli - 2.89

    Thomas Glen - 2.90

    Declan Moutford - 2.90

    Callum Moore - 2.91

    David Cuningham - 2.91

    Hisham Kerbatieh - 2.94

    Jordan Snadden - 2.94

    2014 20 metre sprint results (sec)

    Marvin Baynham 2.81

    Oleg Markov 2.87

    Jarrod Pickett 2.87

    Reece McKenzie 2.87

    Connor Menadue 2.88

    Nakia Cockatoo 2.90

    Ed Langdon 2.92

    Paddy Brophy 2.93

    Conor McKenna 2.93

    Nathan Drummond 2.93

    Best at the combine of all time:

    Top Combine performances (seconds) Joel Wilkinson 2.75 2010 Jonathan Marsh 2.78 2013 Danyle Pearce 2.79 2004 Ashley Smith 2.80 2008 Marvin Baynham 2.81 2014 Nathan Freeman 2.82 2013 Jack Watts 2.82

    Sometimes basketball clubs/academies measure blokes "with shoes on" as they would rarely play without them...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
