I hear Rosman took out the time trial. 

Who usually takes this out these days?

It used to be Tmac and ANB. I feel like last year was in groups but Bedford was a standout?

I think it may have been Bedford last year. And yep ANB and Tmac have been previous winners I believe. I heard ANB and second and Tmac third this year.

If Tmac was third that could be encouraging. Anyone know how he went last year? I know he used to win it regularly before the last couple of years.

Well done Fraser you are  certainly striving for something special in my mind. Not just here for a good time.

Achieving something for yourself and to help our great club to achieve the ultimate would be something special.

The lack of info coming from the club is really starting to bug me, if this is the case I’d love a little write up of them asking him how it feels to beat senior players at the time trial and words from Burgess about how the players performed.

Personally, I think the exciting thing about this Pick is that we have recruited an 18 year old, Jewish, Carpenter.  

Rumoured to have run ACROSS the lake in record time.

 But I'm not expecting any miracles .

Clubs have pared back the staffing resources and media depts were heavily utilised during the hub, earning well-deserved holidays. We may need to recalibrate our expectations.

Lets face it there's only three pieces of information you get in the pre season.

1. Who's not training or in rehab. The most useful preseason info.

2. Injuries during training.  I'd almost prefer not to hear about this one.

3. Observations from supporters about how the team is training the place down and especially some players who then don't go on to play games. 

We never get the info we'd really like which is what went wrong last season and what's being worked on this pre season to fix it.

Gus, was sent back to Melbourne to have surgery, the day after it happened.

Back to the topic, I have rewatched his highlights reel and believe Fraser Rosman could be the "Find" of the draft. What I see is Pace,endurance, canny ball use, accuracy of kick,build,height and he seems to put himself in dangerous positions. Add agility and his ability to clunk marks, he might well be the X factor we need. I like what I see!!

Keen to see him hopefully play in the preseason. After his highlights package, his size and athleticism, and then him taking out the time trial, I’m just wondering what the catch is.

I worry about your judgement PF.

If you listen to the Ben Brown interview, he said there were actually 4 time trials. So I'm not sure which one is being talked about here.

I hope this lad will be as good as his apparent attributes lead many to believe. And I am as bad or hopeful as any poster.

And he may indeed become the one that slipped through, hope so anyway. And all this from a highlights package and no one I know having seen him play in a game as yet.

 

The catch might be that the expectations of the long suffering Demonland readers,  might push him too far and too hard, too early,

and that he shines bright too quickly and burns out in a couple of short seasons. I hope not, but..... So lets not expect too much in his first year. He will have a lot of expectations to carry on his shoulders from us on Demonland. 

I hope he is strong !!    Good Luck,     go hard or go home.   Reminds me a bit of an early Ox.

    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

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
