I'd have to say he looks a long way from being fired up in that pic.

Come on son.  Be fired with enthusiasm or you'll be fired ... with enthusiasm.:D

Look at the previous one and Daniels highlights  

Looks very nervous in the last photo so it's silly to firm an opinion on a photo how a player will go!!

His highlight package shows that he can mark and kick at a high level. He’s played against men already in a pretty serious competition.

I look at that photo and just wonder what an AFL training regime will do for his body. I see upside.

So, he's moved into the Brayshaw family home, along with Rivers & jackson.  Just how big is the Brayshaw mansion??

If you get picked up by the mighty Dees you know you are more than a fair chance to make it.  Jason Taylor and the team have been doing a great job of late. We have seen the proof on the field and our depth.

All topped off with some 1st Class development.

Good old  'Sweethearts' pizza joint. That place is always packed after all the army lads have had their drinking sesh at the 'Bended Elbow'. Fun times indeed! 

Used to be able to hire a pair of shiny shoes at sweethearts in order to be allowed into the nightclub across the road back in the days before we hash tagged our wingmen.

He is off to a great start staying with the Brayshaw family, LJ and TR absolutely surrounded by great people. He can take a good overhead mark and hit a target he could be another inspired selection by JT. 
Grab your opportunity with both hands young man you are now part of the Demon family.

Played his first game of VFL yesterday and I wasn't one bit surprised that he actually played very well.

He adjusted straight away and didn't look one bit overawed. Playing against senior hard men in the Ovens and Murray league has certainly helped his adjustment. 

The club just want him to play a good block of consistent games in the VFL just to get up to speed with pace and structure. While senior games aren't probably in the picture, the club has certainly told him that if he is in good form and a spot opens up then he'll be seriously considered. For now it's all about developing his game for the long term future.

Well done Disco!

Hard to believe he's only 19. Looks like he has a fully developed mature body already and has great game and aerial judgement. Only knock I can see at this stage is possibly a lack of pace but it's obviously a very small sample at this point. Looked right at home immediately. Other than pace he looks a more complete footballing package than Smith.

Very solid debut, handled the step up in intensity and looks a natural at reading the play. 

One piece of play impressed me a lot where he actually stuffed up, got caught trying to play on but then dished a long safe handball back to a team mate. 

Anything he does this year is a bonus but I like that our draft class is now at 4 and has a tall to go with the 2 skilled users and the outside runner.

I didn’t notice any pace issues, but thought he looked very comfortable at the level. Like jordon, petty, sparrow - a clear and consistent development strategy could result in a good AFL level player in a year or two

Looked a great size and composed. Has a great opportunity to learn off May and Lever to give himself the best chance at making it.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
