The future looks good with the talent the recruiting team have recruit and the coaches are developing.

JVR (Future dominant KPF)

McVee (I think he will become a weapon in the midfield in a year or two)

Leb Windsor. (Star quality)

Bowser (will get back to his best)

Jeffo (Liking his development at VFL level)

Riv (loved his midfield minutes the last couple of weeks)

Howes (Will gain more consistency) 

Jed Adam’s (has been better since Tomo has not been playing VFL level. Jury is still out) 

Verrall (I like his game and will continue his development. Max replacement) 

Kozzie (he is 23 and already a star) 

Kolt (has shown his value in patches. Has natural  improvements to come) 

Disco (he will become more consistent and has been good in patches) 

AMW (loved what I saw last night) 

Woe jnr (he will be a solid performer in time)

Sestan (the kid has skill oozing out of him, just needs consistency at VFL. Time will tell but has a high ceiling) 

 

All up that is 15 kids named and most have had a taste of playing at senior level. Only one top 10 draft pick on this list too…….

    I propose a fun excercise on this fine winter morning 🥶🥶

    Of those players listed here, use a current player in the competition (or someone that played in this millenia) to describe their ceilings....

    JVR - Jack Riewoldt 

    And so on

    Loved how he went about it last night. 

    Absolutely! Great player: love his attitude - not fazed at all, just gets in there, with a grin. We’re crying out for these types, especially with Gus and Hibbo out of the picture now.

    As soon as he gets the confidence and knowledge to give himself that extra yard to get a shot away, he’s going to be elite.

    Just needs to get used to the pace of AFL and get games experience and he will be handy.

    Kolt will really benefit from a proper preseason, has some explosiveness to unlock

    And I like his out going attitude.  Not afraid to have a go. Extrovert.

    In comparison much of our team seems to have the personaility of the IT department.

    Ooh, I'll play. I'll try to be realistic but positive and also controversial so I can be in the AFL media.

    Judd McVee - Michael Hibberd

    Kynan Brown - Nathan Brown

    Trent Rivers - Marc Murphy (lol I know much that'll irritate some people but I suspect like Murphy, Rivers will spend most of his career being either underrated or overrated.)

    Jake Bowey - Leigh Montagna

    I am most interested in those who can make an impact in 2025. I want another premiership now while our generational talent is still playing and in their prime.

    First 22 in 2025. 

    • Rivers - A full preseason training as a midfielder and we could have something special. It might be the key to Petracca spending permanent time up forward.
    • McVee - When (if) does the midfield move happen? It's either him or Rivers.
    • JVR - So much of our hope for another flag depends on if, or when, it finally clicks for Roo.
    • Windsor - Already AFL standard and should be fitter and stronger next year.

    Fringe 22:

    • Turner - His position is a huge question mark. He's shown enough to suggest he would be a great third tall forward line. However, what if Tomlinson and Petty leave and McDonald retires? We then have almost zero depth with an aging May and injury-prone Lever.
    • Jefferson - Based on talent and his improvement in 2024 you would hope he can meaningfully contribute at AFL level next year. Hugely important to our chances.
    • Bowey - Not sure I see where huge improvement comes from, but his best is a lock for our first 22. Needs to regain his form.
    • Tholstrup - Can he take a massive step next year? Or will he take a while? Seems the latter to me, will be the next generation.

    Depth for injuries: Howes, Woewodin, AMW, Brown

    Unlikely to play: Adams, Verrall, Sestan

    Not sure why people are talking about our youth in 2025 when we’re still in 2024.

    our young brigade went toe to toe with a very experienced And in form Briscoe outfit and showed they are very capable. 

    I loved the Kolt taking it up to and backchatting Zorko, loved McVee’s chip at speed to Kozzie, and Rivers is a revelation in the middle. They are growing week to week.

    If they continue to build cohesion, belief and form our young brigade may be blossoming here and now.

    It was probably always the plan this year though, given we went into the season with question marks over Gus and Clarry.

    Does the MFC follow Demonland? 
     

    Anyway, they’re putting this out publicly for a reason.

    Yes, very impressive but this place is souring on the leader of our Development academy because “wE dOn’T kIcK sTrAtE!1!”

    Square that circle, Paul. Square that circle.

    Unfortunately Paul, I’m of the opinion that a premiership is beyond us this year. That why I’m looking at our younger brigade. 
     

    I like what I see and hope with development will can content again in 2025

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
