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.

Correct!

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
