I think we'll see Disco Turner in the side if not this week then very soon.

The footage of him turning the bloke on the mark inside out and kicking a goal suggests he knows he’s too good for VFL now.

    I saw that. Disco’s got a lot more exposure to what we want from him, and has had a taste of AFL pressure. I think he’s going to be useful, and I believe the club is very pleased with his progress.

    I think a stint up forward is right in this guy's wheelhouse. 

    Has Laurie ever been played in the seniors as a pure midfielder for a whole game? I feel that if Oliver doesn't play against Richmond maybe it's time to find out how Laurie goes in that role.

    Not to my knowledge. Last year we used Jordon in the midfield and Laurie has only had one game at AFL level this year.

    In 2023 Laurie did not play VFL as a midfielder as we had Dunstan at VFL level. Might have played as an outside mid/wing at VFL level.

    From my watching LDC sadly I think he is one of those players who is too good for VFL and NQR at AFL level. We will know by the end of this year.

    Not wing that i can recall.  Def in the middle for a fair amount of time in 23.  Same vs Port over the weekend.

    Welcome back Mr Old.

    Yes that's my assessment to date also. 

    At VFL level he has a tendancy for a few too many basic turnovers and  second to the ball a fair bit if my memory serves me.correctly.

    As you say he has plenty of time ahead  to prove that he has what it takes though.

    Sounds like he might get a call up for Clarry for Anzac eve.  Will be an interesting watch if he does.

     

    Why is everyone assuming Clayton doesn’t play? Has that actually been spoken about anywhere?

    There haven’t been many games we have stuffed up over the last 4 years when overwhelming favourites. I wouldn’t say it’s ‘exactly’ the type of game we lose.

    Other than BBB who I think would benefit from a longer break and the compulsory in for Salem and the return of Picket I'd like to see the team settle. Fullarton in for the week to take 50% ruck and to give JVR some more forward time. Max to be used more sparingly.

    Correct, tick, no wuz.

    Now Disco needs the opportunities, albeit with some interim patience; he could well prove to be a very clean player in the senior team given glimpses of form and ability. I wish the lad well; it is hoped his confidence and endeavour take a leap into regular selection, starting this year.

    And the issue with Brown and Petty is not just a last night thing. The lack of pressure from Brown, Petty, JVR and Fritsch means we can only play three IMO.

    I disagree. If Kozzy plays, his pace makes our front half a completely different proposition.

    • 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.
