This may seem somewhat of a harsh comment, but this neither excites nor frustrates me. 

Disco staying or going is not going to change the direction we go in.

There is a lot of up side with him, just needs game time and coaching development.

I reckon he’s a kid with talent. He just needs time. Sign him up and keep playing him.

Plays for the jumper. Need more of them.

Can definitely see this kid getting better and better, and he’s most welcome to do that with the Demons.

Yawn     wont matter if he stays or goes to me

Maybe we should link his pay to disposals might motivate him to get of the bottom of the disposal list

Completely ineffectual in my view

I think we need to play him down back for the rest of the year and going forward. He, Lever and May should form a good three pronged defence next year (with Tomlinson likely gone and T Mac probably out of contract) and all played well in our great win over Sydney late last year.

He and Petty are not working up forward in the slightest. We need to find other options, whether that's T Mac, BBB or Melksham in a few weeks - natural forwards please.

For some reason he reminds of me of Howes.

Dunstall would not get a kick in our forward line and people expect him to goals without teaching him forward craft.

He is still only kid as for teaching him a forward coach if we get one someone with that ability because we haven't got one now, now that's not to say moving from the backline to the forward line is going to work, but they need to gives these kids the tools to work on.

22 year old key defender / forward, good mark and kick who doesn’t mind a bit of physicality, Disco has been hampered by injury. We need players of his ilk but needs to have a good run at it.

The criticism on here has all the credibility of a plan that involves 7 small nuclear plants being owned by the Government, from a Government that does not want to own things.

It's a team game and not everyone is going to be a star.  This bloke could be very, very good though.

The lad has played under 12 games and shown plenty.  Loves the contest, is agile and has plenty of upside.  He will never be a target forward, but a good 3rd option - and can swing down back.

How many young players do we have that can do that and have his upside?  Not many.  I'm excited for his future with us.

Has been showing some good signs and the FD obviously rate him.

Not sure being a forward is his best position, so would love to see them move him down back especially next year if Tmac and Tommo leave.

That's what a swingman can do, I guess?! (funny old language, English, innit?)

Re the OP article, 'closing in on', as opposed to 'inks' smacks of Club (via AFL) media trawling for good news about us.

As to DT himself, goodo!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
