I'm interested to see where he fits in the scheme of things. Is he a Jonesy replacement with a couple of years to develop? Or do they see him fitting in earlier than that, and at who's expense?

One to keep an eye on

    And now we have some teammates who’s brains he really can pick. Teammates who really have been there done that, teammates who really believe in themselves and teammates who realise that with hard work and dedication, the prize may not be too far away. 

    A culture that is still building but one that Sparrow and the other “kids” will embrace as natural. A big, big turnaround from 8  - 10 years ago. I know we all thank Paul Roos but I want to thank Daniel Cross for importing a professionalism of dedication and training that shocked many at the club into changing their ways (or getting out)! How much talent was waisted a decade ago by ineptitude, amateurism, and pure stupidity,  a bloody lot IMHO.

    He fits at Casey learning his craft and hopefully he is good enough to play 100+ games for the club.  Our midfield depth isn't that great outside the regular AFL players, we need the next group of midfielders developing at Casey and hopefully pushing for selection mid to late in the year.  Whose spot they take is irrelevant at this stage

    Hopefully he's racking up 30+ possessions at Casey and pushing for selection.

    This is what ANB did consistently to make his case.

    Exactly and not follow the senior players down Bridge road, Chapel st venues and the polo events. 

    Wasted by [censored] drinking and other activities, “allegedly”.

    I'm not sure the club has become a chapter of the temperance society per se, but it's more a case of 'there's a time and a place'.

    Maxy and Bernie have both been known to enjoy a beer. However, it's usually in moderation and not at places like the 'G on Boxing Day (while making a giant beer snake) or with bikies at pool parties in Vegas.

    He’s an Adelaide Hills boy, there made of the tough stuff. He will be fine.

    About as tough as a blow wave in a wind tunnel.

    Looking at him at training today and on Monday, he'll be fine. Keep chipping away at it.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
