Let me guess, he could replace Spargo?

It NEVER even enterered my head... Seriously though, I think he could be worth a Punt!

If they never drop ANB, Aarts would never get a game with us. 

We have to try out Laurie and Howes and I think Woey will be better than him anyway.

Yeah couldn't think or a worse player in Arts to put on a list as depth. Remember this game clearly.

Would have rather kept Baker

I believe we will only consider delisted players to be put on the rookie list and I think we need ruck types and good tall project players since most midfield and small forward positions we have multiple players at this stage.

JAKE AARTS!

 

Could do a lot better 

Stark  even with baggage a far better  player and a match winner.

Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !

After something like that occurs, a player is haunted.

Better still why don't we delist every player every and just enlist every player that is delisted by other clubs, I reckon that would satisfy picket fence.

Before we try out anyone they have to earn it 

Laurie, Howes and Woewodin haven’t yet ticked that box IMO

If Laurie can improve his fitness he might get a look next year - he does have skill just not convinced he is currently an upgrade on anyone in the 1s

Howes I’m not convinced will make it - I know he has plenty of people here that think he’s going to - very happy to be proved wrong 

Woey is a good honest footballer - good enough to be a regular AFL player ? - next year will tell us a lot more I think

Please expand on your opinion on Howes.

He did ok in his first few Casey games before the stress fracture took him out for the majority of the season.

What have you seen to write him off already?

I’m not writing anyone off simply saying I’m not convinced he will make it as an AFL footballer 

There are hundreds of guys that a good footballers but never quite reach the level required 

Howes is neat in his ball handling and disposal but I he doesn’t get it enough at VFL level to suggest to me he can impact at AFL level

Does he have any significant stand out qualities ? Pace , evasion, disposal , marking , physical presence? If he has they have been shown in cameos only hence - so I’m not convinced - as I said very happy to be proven wrong and we won’t know until the end of next season or the one after that (assuming he has no more injury concerns)

    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.

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)

    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. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
