Davey Shines In Intra-Club

No. It's not Aaron it's his brother Alwyn who (according to http://www.bomberblitz.com/index.php) was the star of Essendon's first serious hitout for 2007 in an intra-club match at Princes Park last Saturday morning kicking three goals and putting himself in line for immediate senior selection for the season proper.

Now didn't he do a pre season with us last year and wasn't he rejected even for the rookie list?

Will we rue the decision not to take him or was it a case of Alwyn being too similar a type to his more famous brother?

Anyone can shine in a intra club match. Look at Andre Gianfanga last year - he too kicked 3 goals on Brad Green and now look at him.. I'm not saying that will happen but I wouldn't give a stuff if he kicked 10 goals in the intra club match the point if he still needs to prove himself in AFL level. I'm pretty happy with our list atm and I'd rather hype on about our young kids then anyone elses.

What he said....

...although I think we didn't go for him because, yes we already have the tried and tested model; but also, where do you play him? I would have thought the forward line but with a few likely talls forwards coming through to take spots there is really no room.

FWIW if we were bereft of talls like to Bulldogs and building a game plan around speed then I would be disappointed that we didn't.

In the end he ended up at a club that lacks both a genuine small forward and real speed.

In reality he should be making an impact!!

I must say that I thought some of the Bombers' picks were strange this year. I believe they picked a number of small opportunist type players recently, who clearly can't all fit in the one side. Davey, Jetta, Dikk ( the bloody site is censoring his name ), Dempsey and another who escapes me for the moment will have to contest with Lovett, Monfries, Dyson and others for a forward pocket or flank. The Bombers list might become unbalanced with these selections and they may regret it in the future. Then again I could be completely wrong and they could all become stars but I doubt it.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
