I take your point DC but Windsor will be introduced into the team in a similar way to Riv, Jacko, Kozzi and bowser. The coaches have managed the debutante’s extremely well so far.😁

riv, jacko, kosi - rd 1 from their debut season?

they were picked from the get go from memory

Kozzie debuted R1 2020 but Riv & Jacko debuted against Blues in June 2020.😁

 

Yes wwsw I must admit that I had forgotten that 3 mth break between R1 and R2 in 2020 and those three boys debuted in R1 & R2, how strange was that year? And just shows that we can’t place limitations on our new recruits.

Did Jefferson actually play in the match sim?

No Dazz

I loved training today and i thought it was  lot more intense and more full on than it has been previously.   Wouldnt be surprised if theres one or two debutants in windsor and howes early in the season.  Very pleased that the gates are open to the public now, and it was lovely to meet you today Ros.

NO SHOWS/ REHAB 

PETTY, MELKS, HUNTER, FULLARTON,JEFFERSON, Not sure I saw SALEM

CLARRY  and VERRELL both doing a POWER OF RUNNING and sheeeeit does CLARRY look mean, fit and PUMPED
 
MATCH SIMULATION NOTES
 
Full match simulation of 4 quarters I which I saw 3 quarters
 
WINDSOR ... an abslute LOCK for round one, really surprised me with his turn of speed, precision set ps and pin piont disposal, might become our best ball user and Wow has he got some X FACTOR
 
DISCO TURNER ... probably the best I have seen him in match sims, deft movements, a turn of speed and makes very sound decisions
 
JACK BILLINGS … 
another LOCK for ROUND 1 just uses it so well, makes excellent position and his decision making was fantastic
 
SHANE MC ADAM … took not 1 not 2 but 3 MARKS OF THE DAY, will complement Fritta magnificently, just knows where to position himself, very very dangerous arond goal and will be an absolute SURPRISE packet

ED LANGDON ... HAD IT ON A STRING , Elusive, quick, precise and typical Langdon run all day
 
ANDY MONIZ-WAKEFIELD ... Again I mention him and although quieter later was heavily involved of the back flank, wing and anywhere else, CAN PLAY
 
SPARGY PANTS ... The Salt and Pepper man was in everything, played very well and bobbed up all day
 
TAJ WOEWODIN … A lot to like, gets involved is fearless and sets up the play very very well. One to definately keep an eye on

KYNAN BROWN … Just NEVER GIVES IN, just gives and Gives with second and third efforts, good skill set and elusiveness
 
SHACHE ATTACKY … Did some very good things took some marks, was very competetive with Max and although overshadowed, I can ALMOST see him playing round 1 based on today
 
ONE WORD SUMMATIONS

MAX, Outstanding
KOSSY Freakish
TOMLINSON Belongs
VINES Beast
MAY Fearless
LEVER Methodical
TRACC Superstar
 
A lot going right, very high standard game and one which should give the selectors plenty to think about in the coming weeks.
 
Cheers PF 
 
P.S Saw one Slthera dead on the road , but still wisely went around it! 😱
 

Love your work Picket and a special mention to Brenno great stuff. A lot of talk about locks for the opening round would you be able to do a best 22 based on training? That would be great you know how much I love my best 22's. 


Caleb Windsor looks to be the exact type of player we need through the middle.

Appreciate all the detailed reports here.  Thanks to PF, Brennon, WCW & anyone else i might have missed.

Just to confirm, Maysie left the track after 20 min or so yes?  If so that is a real concern.

Might be best to put him in cotton wool for a while, fully assess and go from there?

Last thing we need is May breaking down with a nagging niggle throughout the season.

No Petty, May and/or Clarry early would be a real bummer.

One thing I forgot to say and I dont know how I overlooked it but Nibbler was in sensational form and has improved his disposal😁

Agree with those who say that Windsor looked great in that highlight reel. 

Hard to draw solid conclusions from clips like that but promising signs IMO.

He really moves well - reminds me so much of a young R Flower. No pressure on the young lad or unrealistic expectations this year but boy he looks to have great balance

Your training reports are getting more over the top by the session! At this rate we’ll win the flag and a first year player will own the members wing, Schache will win the Norm Smith and Nibbler will become the most loved Demon!    
Keep it coming!

Some much better forward entries and some good pace on the footy in those highlights.

Playing on inside 50 too which might be an example just to get used to sharing the ball.

Windsor looking more comfortable than I’ve seen him the last 2 Wednesdays. That raw pace could really open things up 

I was excitied by some of the highlights i saw as well. As a trackwatcher DS are we getting a bit ahead of ourselves though, are teh match sims full on or just 13 v 13?

 

What i mean by that is, it looks pretty now in Feb but come July/August it's cold and the game is on the line the F50 isn't quite so open.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
