    I wonder what his skills will be like.

    Generally basketballer's are fairly skilled so hopefully he is a good set shot and possibly play in the forward line with Hoges.

    Anybody who is about 1.93 metres and can run sub 2.80 seconds for 20 metres is seriously fast.

    He would have decent peripheral vision, fitness, and adherence to strict instruction to play at a high level of Bball, but that's about all you can read into it as far as how he adapts to footy.

    Most bball players I have come across that move into footy are all over the talent spectrum but they all really buy into the structures - makes sense to them coming from bball.

    18, 19, 20, 21?

    We just need to pick up Lovett and all of a sudden it's 1995 again.

    It's the day for it. We're just now getting in touch with Marty McFly to get his signature for next season, last season, and 1987.

    Jesse Hogan, Joel Smith and Jack Watts!

    I'm still amazed by the Geelong recruitment of Mark Blicavs in similar fashion and how much he evolved.

    Would love for Smith to become our Blicavs.

    So, what are the rules for a Category B Rookie? Does he need to be upgraded like any other rookie if he is to play? For the purpose of playing list numbers, does he take one of the rookie spots? How many years can he stay on the list as a Category B Rookie?

    Genuine surprise and excitement over this announcement.

    Hats off to the club for playing their cards so close to their chest this trade period.

    Wow!

    I love the romance of the preseasons' endless possibilities.

    The drums are sounding and it feels great.

    Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

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

    Me....back six months ago...

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • GAMEDAY: North Melbourne

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
