    Good on the fella, but I don’t think there has ever been a much more underwhelming form line up forward for someone to debut with. 

     

    Heres hoping he can clunk a few and kick a few, but realistically I think after dropping Weideman they’d backed themselves in to a corner with Tim Smith now being injured. 

    Keep eyes on Buxton, too. Ready to go ...

    No expectations. 

    But seriously, if he can’t bag 6 on debut he shouldn’t be on the list.

    He does have an incredible vertical jump - and good hands at this stage of his career. These two qualities can only get better, more refined and more appropriately utilised, no doubt, as experience and good development take shape.

    It is wise to remember that some of the very good - to - sublime markers and aerialists were not talls, did not run miles onfield, and had limited speed. They didn't even have Dec's physical involvement skills, either, yet proved to be dynamic forwards because of good coaching. 

    Two that come to mind:

    • Tony Modra, 188 cm, 93 kg 
    • Warwick Capper, even shorter and much lighter

    Jurrah was excellent in a short career, he came and went like lightning - he was so fast! He could run a bit as well - all day. I also think he might have been taller than suspected, over 190 cms but it was well-hidden with his 50kg frame. Overall, yep, monoccular, another forward star outside the physical profiles preferred so often, today. To ram home a point: whaddabout the Wizard, Leigh Matthews, etc., etc.

    There is something special about a debut. Some players just fit in at the top level and there is a chance Dec has a great game and will have a career. Bloody exciting. And Drunkn being open lets us in so we feel like we know him already! 

    Go Dec, smash it!!

    For once we have a debutant that has had a great apprenticeship in the VFL (60 odd games). It’s a pity our other debutantes  haven’t had such a good grounding. I wish him every success on Saturday.

    I liked Keilty’s game today. I’ve never seen him at VFL, but his ruckwork was sound and he’s pretty mobile for a big guy. Keeps his spot for mine.

    Just loved it when he grabbed the ball out of the ruck and ran forward and created a goal. He deserves another game next week.

    I’ve watched him quite a few times at Casey and have always felt he has something different to say Omac or Weideman in that he doesn’t drop his head if things aren’t going his way.

    Strong pack marks and excellent field kicking to the right position are his strengths at Casey

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
