Could be what they call a 100 metre player. Gets it and goes. With long, accurate kicks.

The speed is tantalising.

Most exciting first year player, according to training vision, since Clayton. 

 

Blake Howes is another who looks good. Throw in JVR, Judd and potentially Kolt and we have a gun baby Demon group coming through. Anything can happen.

Sorry but Alves was a favourite of mine - and a Club great. Why would you feel the need to make such a comment? 

I just shake my head at comments such as the one you responded to, really poor against one of our own

Stan wasn’t the bravest player to pull on a Dees jumper.

That's unlike you to talk like that, Jack

It takes a good level of courage just to cross the white line

Stan features quite a bit in the clip below playing as first rover

And if Caleb ends up as good as Stan, we've got quite the player.  Stan won 2 B&F's and ran 2nd in the Brownlow on one occasion

And captained the club for 4 years.  He was quite a decorated footballer

Windsor's speed, balance and coordination makes you think we have something special here. He moves like Josh Kelly, Whitfield and Rozee. Hopefully he can get strong enough to play inside the centre square one day.

He's got a good frame.
He'll be in there.
 


Moves like Jayden Hunt (one of my favourites) but hopefully delivers into the forward 50 a bit better than JH.  

Windsor will debut round 0 BOOKMARK IT

I hope that you are right picket, it appears that we have picked up a couple of A graders in The Duke and The Kolt. Caleb  has really stepped up big time and deserves an early call up. He really looks something special.

Excellent signs are these not? I have some relaxing confidence in the team design across this year and further into the future with developing young players like these. Powerhouse stuff - now for the coaching team to maximise their ascension. That would be the only hesitancy one could hold, sadly.

Great bit of footage, Macca. Thanks so much for putting it up on DL. Wonderful memories, Demon players, heritage thoughts invoked. Was there, that day - a game that I had forgotten, over the years. l think I got a smack over the head from a Filth fan during the last quarter, as fading memories recall. 


If he's ready to go early, then that would be great, but I am happy waiting until the coaches decide that the time's right.
One thing that we have done particularly well over the last few years is blood the kids properly rather than have to rush them in as saviours before they're ready.
Having said that, from the limited vision I've seen, the kid reminds me of a young Lenny Hayes.

Yessss. One has to wonder though, with the likes of Parke and Hardeman up forward why we had such a long drought.

Back to Caleb Windsor, I know that it’s only hilights of an intra club hit out but, he looks very exciting. He appears to be exactly what we have been lacking for a long time. An outside, quick, pure skilled link player who can also hit the scoreboard.

I am as excited as I have been about a draftee for a long time!

Agree though Oliver and Pickett are hard to beat.

Duke is far better and goes so well with “Kolt”!

Kolt and Knot could be a bit too confusing …. and for many especially in the last decade or so when wearing a tie has become less common some may wonder what is the significance of Windsor and knot.

Agree Mono anyone under 50 wouldn’t identify Windsor knot for a tie, hell half of them wouldn’t know how to knot a tie. Lol.!!

Memory is fading but I know I was at Vic Park in '76 but probably a couple of times in the early 70's

It was great seeing Big Max Walker but he was up against a good player in Thommo

A number of Demon premiership players though and you could still see the Smith influence with the attack on the ball and the ability to get to the front position (Beckwith had taken over in '68)

As for the Duke (Windsor), he's got big wraps on him and we know how good Jason Taylor is in identifying talent.  Both he & the Kolt will debut early you'd imagine as there is often a flow-on effect when so many players are injured in one part of the ground (in our case, the forward line)

With Caleb, I like his first 2 or 3 steps and with the Kolt, it's his awareness and head over the ball

Both could be rippers!

He is also blessed with the gift of identifying said talent very quickly indeed.

I believe his nickname among the recruiting fraternity is Taylor Swift.

I reckon Jason Taylor has moved on from his Presidents of the United States (Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren) meme and has moved on to cheese. Because not only is there a frightening looking Windsor Red, but guess what the Danish Tholstrup company is most famous for?

Pretty sure it was Colby we were trying to trade up the draft for, too.

EDIT: Can confirm the is such a thing as Brown cheese.

Good  post Macca high hopes for our draft boys also. They are both good’uns.

Would recommend reading Between the Flags, Mono. It makes for insiteful reading regarding our woes over that period.

What the &*$^ does that mean? An all time great of the club in an era when bashing blokes behind the play was de rigueur. I saw half the games Stan played and do not recall him jibbing it once. Stan was tough - don't worry about that. Single-handedly ensured Norf won the premiership in '77. And for 90 minutes, looked like becoming a premiership coach until his bestie bested him.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
