Will almost be a surreal experience seeing Melbourne not dipping heavily into the draft pool.

Don't know what it feels like to get a 4 time premiership, all Australian, gun of the competition type saviour.

i'm used to relying on skinny 18 year olds.

No, we have to make three list changes.  

The exact words from the afl stipulations for the draft are:

'each Club shall exercise a minimum of 3 Draft selections'

Does this mean we could just draft 1 new player then upgrade two rookie selctions? Or even draft no one new and upgrade 3 rookies?

Slot Rockliff in there as well and we'd need to change the rules to have a starting 25.

We will have no currency to get Rockliff (if it's even a possibility) after the Lewis deal unless we dare use next years draft currency.

We still have this years second round pick, and maybe a player or two involved. Will mean Hibbard needs to be done with a next year pick.

Which I think is the reason the Hibberd deal hasn't happened yet... Essendon now worried that our 2nd round pick next year could be devalued if we make finals

Cool isn't it?

The better Hibberd plays for us, the more likely it is to devalue to pick Essendon get in exchange for him.

Unfair. He ran off because we had the ball. The next possession went to him because he was playing football and not getting involved with some faux tough jumper pull game.

Young warroir, please make it true. I have been reading for a long time,  regrettably I didn't have the confidence in my IT ability to post until recently. Some of you probably have fathers like me that need help finding the mouse button and technical stuff like that. I will say though that even though a lot of you say things that don't make much sense I don't care. I love all of it and I know all of your hearts beat true. You keep posting, I will keep reading (and post occasionally) and we will all see the Demons prosper.

Yep i don't like that poster that doesn't make much sense either....

We will open up the gap between us and Bulldogs/Saints/GWS.....I can assure you.

The dogs mids aren't that fast, their ball movement is very fast (and not really legal if you ask me) but their leg speed isn't. GWS and Saints are quicker but can be beaten by fast ball movement. Would much prefer good ball users and decision makers than fast players.

Actually not really that slow all over the ground, but we are one line breaker short off the wing. But kick the ball 50 metres and get someone to sprint 50 metres, see which goes quicker.

 

That being said, if we can win the midfield battle and lock the ball forward of centre it's less of an issue.

I'd much rather a bloke with a great footy IQ who can hit a target 50 metres away than players who run blindly and make poor decisions or turn the ball over.

What's that, a bad word about Richmond? Took you long enough lol. 

The Bulldogs have well and truly taken your 2nd (read 1st) team fancy then.

Diesel Willaims. Slow as a wet week and with the turning circle of the QE2, but knew how to find it and use it... 40 odd times a game

Oliver, slow leg speed but quick decision maker and quick hands. Gets the ball moving quickly.

Our speed and outside mid stocks aren't bad:

Lumumba, Hunt, Harmes, Kennedy, Vince, Salem, Melksham, Petracca, Garlett, Kent

we have a few guys who can run and carry and be damaging on the outside.

the thing to remember is that fast runners doesn't always mean fast ball movement, the Dockers have Pierce and Hill but still seem to move the ball quite slowly.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
