Grabbed his chances as a small early in the season with his energy and accuracy in front of goal and rewarded the club for its perseverance.

 

I’m a fan of Chin. First half of the year he displayed his value with a very good level of defensive play and kicking goals. He was always busy in and around the play. He seemed to tire with a full season at AFL level. Hopefully with more AFL experience he will run out a full season. 

As mentioned, Kade had a great first half in ‘23, hopefully another preseason and having a couple more fit players in the forward 50 he can stay in the game for longer in 2024, really like what Chandler brings to the team.

 

Big fan of the Chin. His goal kicking accuracy is pretty good, hard at the ball, and has a good leap and very strong over head marker for his size, this is a really underrated skill of his. Could make a formidible partnership with likes of Kozzy, McAdam in '24.

At his best he is a real weapon, endurance running and deadly accuracy. But as with all "high half forwards" an extended drop of form can make them a liability.

I expect Chin and Spargo to be competing with McAdam, Billings and even Tholstrup for those spots this year. I think the competition will be healthy.


All of the above, plus… he’s a really sweet kid. Proof again that the ‘No DH policy’ is still well and truly in force. 

Showed some good attributes in the first half of ‘23, but then faded.  A work in progress who still needs to ‘nail down’ a spot in our best 22.

I would actually prefer him to Kozzie in 2023 (sic).  And I am not just saying that to be controversial.  Doesn't jump unless he is likely to grab the ball and is more involved.

Showed some good signs early in the season, then reverted to the same inconsistency that he showed in previous seasons. Another who is going to need to lift in a big way to play senior football in 2024 given our recruiting.

Thsts a quote no one is likely to agree with. I like you are frustrated with Zkosdie trying to be MOTY champion but coaches must forbid him wasting his time jumping far too outrageously.

Chin had a good season just tapering off at the end. Was a good goal sneak and crumbed who will join all the previously mentioned players vieing for a spot I mentioned in the Bailey Laurie post. 

Love his whole hearted attack on ball and opponents. 

Future in his own hands. 


When he's on he's electric.

Hope to see some more consistentency this year.

Exciting player.

Kade will be under pressure to keep his place with Billings and McAdam wanting a place in the 22/23.

His early season form needs to be great because once Pickett has served his suspension there will be less places for players like Kade.

The new recruits Caleb and Koltyn will also be looking to get into the team as well as Taj, Blake and Bailey.

You leave Zkosdie alone.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
