That is a dangerous comment on this website!

I'm not gonna have a go at Daniher not playing the kids just yet. Sure I'd prefer CJ in instead of Brown but don't forget we are still trying to resurect the season. Both are out of form but Brown has experience, and that's why he is in.

As for the kids like Buckley, Garland and Newtown, we will be seeing plenty of them in the second half of the year.

Brown over CJ what a joke... Yze Magic can you honestly tell me Brown is of more worth to the side... at least CJ can kick the ball properly not these pissy little under 10 chip kicks brown does..... sure he was great a few years ago but move on ND develop our team for 2008!!!

this is appaling... you can tell CJ will be a player but if he keeps getting dropped... he will end up like Jolly and Armstrong... playing great footy elsewhere.... Nd just doesnt have a clue how to develop young players..... not good enough... quite playing your old little "favourites" ND... u disgrace.

No question Browny is still AFL standard.

BUT, who is better for the future of the club. CJ hands down.

Do not get me wrong Nathan has been a great player for our club and i appreciate that.

BUT our list is not a premiership list so we have tp play the kids. and take advantage of this years draft.

At zip 5 we will most likely get a top 5 so we have to be tough in oure assessments of players at the moment.

lol

i believe byron should line up on chad cornes, the cornes boys arent the toughest customers going around, and especially if chad knows byron is always going to be around him somewhere, he'll think twice about trying to get the ball

Agree 100%

Agree 300%. Chris Johnson has been very ordinary in every game he has played. What is everybody basing this great talent on? His breeding?, Practice match or Sandy games?....when he has represented the red and blue, he has looked well out of his depth. Seems to have a decent kick on him, his awareness is poor, is slow and weak. Would love to see him make it as much as anybody, but needs to improve rapidly.

hard to take the step up if you know one mistake will likely cost you your place in the side, they also need to leave him in pretty much one position so he can get settled, which is why i think he should be told you have 3 or so games to prove yourself, atleast with some pressure of him he might relax a bit

as for your comments he is slow and weak, i dont think he is slow, ive seen him go in for the ball when its his turn and as for awareness i agree he can be a bit unaware of his surrounds but how many times does brown get caught? how better to gain awarness (like bell is) other than to play a number of games in the senoirs to get use to the pace of the game

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
