Heeney will come back to the field once he attracts some defensive attention. Most clubs have let him run free as he has been less damaging and not living up to his potential. Still a very good player, but we have seen this type of form in the past where it ends up dropping away.

I like the coaches award. Most accurate award in my books. AFLPA MVP is garbage. Brownlow is worse.

It’s interesting that of the top 25 we are only represented by 2 players. Over the past few seasons we have been well over-represented. This year I think it’s reflective of a more evenly distributed team effort.

Agree with your assessment of most accurate. AFLPA MVP is a worthless popularity contest, Brownlow is a biased AF midfielders award.

Its seems as though most sides have only 2 club representatives at this stage. Getting 3-4 players on the leaderboard is more the exception than the norm, although Oliver, Viney and May are likely to be only one solid game from coming onto the board.

I reckon Jackson will be his only challenger. although that said, when D'Arcy is fit again Jackson will likely be moved forward.

I think Clarry will come home with a tailwind, feel like we’ll end with 3 in the top 15

my wife and son saw him at the local cannings

they had the same reaction - "he's HUGE"

disappointingly, they reported that george in his arms looks like a normal sized child for his age...disappointing

Max was relatively normal sized until a significant growth spurt in his later teens.  Don't give up on young George just yet 😃

Do they know how old George is? 
He appears the same size as Lever’s son who is a good two years older. 
That kid is gonna be a giant. Fear not.

I reckon that might be closer to it as how could both coaches not vote for Max

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
