On the MFC website, there's a poll asking the fans who they want to see debut next... I was fascinated by the results so far...

Buckley - 33%

Frawley - 31%

Neville - 19%

Newton - 17%

Alright fair enough, Buckley showed some good form in the pre-season and has had the fans calling for his inclusion all year. Frawley was our top selection in the draft. I get those two. But Neville beating Newton? There's been PLENTY said in many forms of the media about Newton for him to be pumped up more than this by the fans, whereas Neville has done little (though not entirely his fault).

I voted for Newton on there last week, and he was clearly ahead of Neville at that stage. Maybe one of Nev's mates (or himself even) got on there and just kept voting and voting to boost his chances for selection! haha :lol:

Maybe its indicative of the mug supporter!.... :unsure:

Frawley will debut next.

The fact that Rivers is injured and that we are now resorting to playing Ferguson at CHB is enough of an indication that we are desperate for another decent key defender.

I wouldn't be surprised if he debuts next week, should Rivers be unavailable for selection again.

Fair enough.

I saw both boys play yesterday and was impressed.

Frawley for his first game back was methodical, safe, quick and effective. He has height, pace and reads the game. With natural improvement and body development he is a real chance to be a long term player.

Newton is different. He is an excitement player. The huge leap. The pick up off the ground at full pace. The long bomb. The mercurial snap. The chase down from meters behind the ball carrier. This boy to me shows real talent. Could have kicked 7 instead of 2.5 yesterday. If things go alright for this kid with his talent and big body, which will get stronger, we could have our next key forward.

Incidentally, Neaves is bigger and stronger than last year and is shaping as our next ruckman. He managed to get many possessions around the ground and with some improvement is also a chance to play for the Dees.

just goes to show how many supporters just listen to the media and dont make the effort to go watch Sandy.

im for Juice.... but thinking back wasn't a Kid named Loyd kept under wraps at VFL level for quite a period before being unleashed into the AFL? sorry my memory may be playing tricks on me, and of course they are different players but for some reason i remember hearing about it a while back...

Newton in for me. Chip has time to develop, and with our losing squad bucks will get a run at some stage anyway. Now or never to see what juice is capable of. Try him or cut him, he has done his time in the magoos.

    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
