My favourite player already, alongside Tyson. But there a few guys that could join that list. Brayshaw, Hogan, Petracca. Clarry has the highest ceiling out of our mids though and I'd argue out of our players.

big call ! higher ceiling than Hogan and Petracca ?I hope the two I've mentioned become superstars and Clarry goes even past them.

Choo Choo looks the goods, but he needs to trust his ability to kick and not always handball.

He seems to get clear then handball to someone else when I think a kick would be better.

They are attacking handballs

Petracca has a higher ceiling but Oliver is more consistently good.

I think petracca  should always play half forward, Oliver is a pure midfielder

Clarry doesn't remind me of anyone, which is a good thing, as he will create his own legacy.

He has a fair bit of Cripps about him. More skilful though.

He's a hugely exciting prospect. Once he develops a tank, look out.

Prior to Goodwin, the last Ginger coach we had was Norm Smith.

It's a bit like saying though who's the better player out of Franklin or Mitchell. Very hard to say. Both superstars.

Do you consider Neeld strawberry blonde?

A blond -- that could explain quite a lot ?

Unfortunate placement, Bingers! Placed straight after a comment about Simon Goodwin could lead someone to believe that you see Michael Voss (as coach) in Simon Goodwin rather than Michael Voss (as player) in Oliver. At least, I hope you were talking about Michael Voss the player...

For the purposes of certainty (putting on my lawyer hat), Oliver (the player) reminds me of Voss (the player).

I loved the old Choo Choo bars !!!! They were great ! As were liquorice blocks ( 4 for a penny), teeth, liquorice all sorts, cobbers, not to mention fags. Which dummy thought naming them " fads " was a good idea ??? Probably the same idiot that changed the names Dick to Rick and Fanny to Franny in the Magic Faraway stories. Oops I seem to have strayed from the topic somewhat. 

I believe young Clayton will turn out to be quite a decent player.

    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
