I'm really hoping Jack Trengove.... Would love to see him back and firing.

Having reviewed this thread. with a nomination for both Hunt AND Watts (arguably the two biggest surprise packets of 2016 along with Gawn's dominance), I declare @wretched.sylph the winner of the 2016

He's come a fair way...

Before this, that 'skinny kid' just would have stayed skinny and would have been intimidated by even the likes of that walking phallus, Nick Maxwell (I still can't believe he was one of the 'hard men' sent to rough up Jack Watts).

THAT is what a decent development program looks like!

To add some perspective, the sponsor on the jumper in the first photo was Hankook and I believe we parted ways with them in 2011 so it's not like that transformation happened in the space of a year.

Not a surprise packet as such, because i am backing him in but i reckon by the end of 2016, Max Gawn is in our top 3 players and on par with goldy as the best ruck in the game.

I don't know. Stretch maybe. Maybe being surrounded by hungry young talented footballers, Wattsy, who I'm a big fan of, will crank it up a notch. Just looking at our list and I reckon there are twenty players on our list that share a first name. Max's, Mitch's Jack's, Jakes, and it goes on...coming out our a%$^s! Is that normal? I can't do the research because I could not be bothered in the slightest to look at another AFL club's list. Actually, doesn't matter. Its not important. Go Dees.

Jayden Hunt. The kid has talent (and jet-boosters). He just needs a run at it, and that's (finally) looking likely.

And.

Though not at all a surprise, i expect Jack Watts will have a very good year.

One of the factors that make Jesse Hogan so extraordinary is that he did not take the usual 4–6 years to come-on.

The haters tend to forget that Jack Watts was drafted as a skinny 196cm 17-year-old. They still treat him as a messiah, albeit a fallen one.

God save poor Sam Weideman from rediculous expectations.

Don't worry about Jack.

Jumbo Returns has worked out a formula whereby Jack is actually only playing his 3rd year of footy in 2016.

hmmm...well Petracca wouldnt be a "surprise" and neither would Hogan, VanDenBerg ,Gawn, T mac, Vince, Jones,Garlett or Brayshaw. In fact, to be able to list so many players Im confident about is a surprise in itself. But If I had to pick someone that I think will be a surprise Im gonna say its a tie between Trengove ( all fingers crossed ) and Kennedy ( speed and creativity)

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
