Dean Kent.

Barring injury, I think he's going to be very handy.

If it was Watts as a tall forward, with 25 plus goals for the year, plus third man up in the ball ups I would be wrapped and I suspect we as a team might be cruising given all the other talent that is around.

Watts should be aiming for at least 2 goals a game.

Tyson, he will finish the year as our best mid. And if this occurs and Jones and Vince have good years we are looking at 10 wins, maybe more.

Salem is the obvious choice coming into his 3rd year, talent to burn and getting a clear run at a full pre-season. Tyson fit will get back to what he showed 2014 so hard to call it break out. I reckon Vanders is the one whose weekly output will go to another level with a full preseason allowing him to spend more midfield minutes.  Stretch and White the others to watch.

Kent.

Super disappointed that Melksham got rubbed this year. Was expecting him to have an impact.

Watts will finally have the season some here think he's capable of, ie, a good one.

Viney to poll the most Brownlow votes. For the MFC.

Lumumba.

With Goodwin having more of an influence, meaning players will be running forward more, I can see him having more impact and getting caught less as he'll actually have players going with him rather than standing around watching.

Actually I find this interesting. I said last year ( other than the ankles as we later found out ) that much of Harry's lackluster year was more about the others than him. That the team had to catch up with a style the big O was used to and enjoyed. 

I too think Goody's influence will be to hit the "go" button......and you'd better go....and go to where you're meant to andhave trained for. Once players see it 'click' then the real climb begins. 

Ought to be enjoyable to watch :)

We could conceivably have 4/5 big improvers, but the bloke who could have the biggest impact & help others reach their potential in the midfield is Gawn. Jesse Hogan will go to another level too, especially with overall team improvement.

Going a bit lateral.

If we win more games, Nate Jones might win a Brownlow.

Jack Viney for me.  We already know how good he can be, but I believe this is the year he makes the rest of the competition stand up and take notice.  

I think 2015 was Jack's breakout year but as you say this year he serves notice to the competition...

    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.

    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
