Let’s hope they don’t read Demonland 🤨

Or perhaps they should - some resilience training.

I believe it was part of frosty, omac and nibblas training regime.

Schache, Francis and Weid are good reminders to not risk talls in the top 10 unless they are dead set freak talents like LJ. 

The risk is higher and it’s harder to judge a big unit taking marks on 17yos

Fair call, he Waa clunking them better, which suggests it's not a technique thing.

I predict after another preseason the days of jvr being underrated will be well gone.

If Jefferson can fulfil his potential (which would free up petts to go back or play as a swingman) talk of needing to bring in another key forward will also be gone.

I don’t get why some demonlanders are so hard on JVR.  He’s played 41 games and his goals kicked at this stage (41 games) is more than Josh Kennedy, Nick Riewoldt, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Hawkins, and Tom Lynch who have about 20 All Australians between them.  All except Tom Hawkins really hit their straps around the 50 game mark (Tom Hawkins around 100 games).  I think he’ll be a 50 goal forward in 2025, especially if we get it in quickly to create more 1 on 1s.

Mature forward to help our younger players developed just what we need.....lets get him as a rookie... :(

 

Started well, he had the skills, just not the mental drive to use them at the AFL level.  

 

 

 

Really Darkhorse !!

suggesting a forward who was a nice bloke but failed in sO many simple ways at footy  to assist our young forwards now is like the most ridiculous comment and idea I’ve heard of. 
Next you will want Mark Neeld to be part of the Dees next  coaching succession plan. 

Please be a a very dark darkhorse and don’t stand for any board or FD positions should they become available in the now or future.

I don’t think a failed forward is a good role model for our younger forwards 

JVR would be a good mentor for SW

Disagree never enough talls. 
Grab Tauru at 5  and one of the top mids even at 9. 

Tauru is an X factor as he plays both ends and a freakish mark. A game changer in other words. 

One mid this year plus Sharp and Brown to surprise with run and carry to assist our game plan.

I'd say impatience has alot to do with it Watson and I quite often find myself falling into this trap with JVR.  I'm guessing the lack of other well peforming big key forward options around him at present also has a fair bit to do with it as we are actually looking to him to be the man and the focal point of our attack.

I also think we are somewhat forgetting that LJ had a bunch of other mature key forwards around him that took the brunt of the defenders and pressure off him most of the time.   Even then, for most of our 2021 season the story was that we were great defensively, but our forward line was a weakness, which really only clicked the last 3 or 4 games of the home and away and kept surging with momentum in the finals series.

Weid currently on SEN. Sounded pretty bummed about not being offered a new contract from Essendon and stated there had been little interest from other clubs. He then advised though that his priorities have changed and the hunger to play AFL is currently no longer as strong as it is. Best of luck in your future endeavours, Sam!

Some how I don’t find most of the sarcasm in D/Lers is astute or not clever. Let’s not make fun that can easily be misconstrued!

What a modest and likeable young man he is. He just gave a really  impressive interview on SEN.

He said he wished he had been tried down back a bit earlier.  A lot of us on Demonland thought that at the time, too.

Yep lasted 1 game as a defender and then never played again LOL

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
