Is he a lockdown type defender?    We are desperate for a Jetta replacement

Dogs were putting him under pressure all day with repeat forward entries and he stood up really well

He was supercompetitive one v one, even left his man to jump and punch the ball away 

His disposal was good under pressure with no costly turn overs

He's great to watch

Pretty lean, as you would expect given he has probably been training his guts out trying to win a spot but given his ability and determination it's not a major issue

    5 games in the seniors should put an end to that.  

    On a serious note though, great news and best of luck to both.  Keep going hard!

    No return date for Smith or Hibberd, Lockhart out probably for a month, Nietschke and Hore done for the season. 

    We needed a small defender for a needs basis, so even if the kid could barely lace up his boots he had a path to a list spot. 

    If he’s showing promise at training and VFL level and is aggressive and athletic with scope for development then it’s a no brainer.

    i'm not surprised really. we look light on for defenders with a few injuries about and Jetta's moving like he's ready for a mobility scooter these days.

    Was he #40 ?

    I was at the game, but wasnt sure who Smith was. Only clue was players calling #40 "Deaks"

    If so, then agree that he looked pretty good.

    Got halfway through the sentence and thought it was going to say he was debuting against Freo.

    His time will come anyways.

    haven't seen any footage of him but he comes across in the interview well. mature and ready to put in. love that he's into the idea of locking someone down as a defender too.

    • 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.
