Turner, JVR and woey id like to see more of next year in the 1s

Preseason games and even round 1 I’d love to try Turner, May and lever down back. Petty and JVR up forward. Woey in Vineys spot and rotate off half forward.
Rather give it a crack preseason and round 1 then get to the last few rounds and we’re too scared to try anything else even though something might not be working anyway

Wonder if these maggots have any idea how many young players career's they are ruining by deliberately giving young players the wrong impression of what is fair and what is not.

Bit of a sad situation I reckon.

What on earth. Not a great umpired game but miles off what you’ve suggested

Pretty decent game by VFL standards. Will be interesting to see if Southport went out too hard.

Wouldn't mind Weed moving on for other opportunities and we can open up a spot. I know he has a year to run but surely someone would take him. 

He's just so out of sync going for his marks. Can't seem to time a jump, can't one-grab or out-body smaller  opponents even at this level.

Need more out of Weid. 6 possessions 1 mark, put down several he should have taken as usual.

He's rucked very well but still drops marks when he's the only one who gets a clear grab at it.

Weid has been great in a day where it is pissing down rain in a position he doesn't play, against an opponent with 40kgs on him

I really like Chandlers game. He is exactly what we need in the HF next year. Love his chase, pace and work ethic. Not the best decision maker - granted - but we need to play him more to rest others throughout the season.

Agree. 

Is more balanced. 

But too slow to pressure effectively or burn off an opponent the way Toby does.

Chandler is and always has been a midfielder with forward craft more than a forward. He’s an excellent link player through the middle of the ground.

He’s yet to master clean hands around a contest though to really push his case as a high half forward

I know I won't be popular for saying this, but Oskar Baker needs to be traded or delisted for 2023..

Weed simply can'y mark the ball in a contest.  

Why is Bowey not playing?  (I missed the start)

Ineligible. Too much afl, not enough VFL

Because Melbourne are out of the finals. He could only play while we were still in it.

Just needs 4 more years on the list to come good

16 hit outs against a man mountain.

It's not his ruckwork that's the problem.

Chandler is just far too good to waste his time at this level. Surely has every right to go elsewhere if we can’t promise him a regular senior game.

Disagree.

Sure straight-line running he can't burn an opponent in the way Toby does but he has him covered in about every other facet of the game. And his pressure is fantastic. You watching the game? It's a GF. See that tackle then? lol

And clean hands? You've lost the plot, he's on another level to the rest in the wet.

He has been emergency almost all year, Goodwin made minimal changes all year. 

His form was seemingly irrelevant this year in Goodwin's eyes.

    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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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)
