Looks like Chandler might be doing some more midfield/high half forward this season perhaps replacing Nibbler’s role. 

Perfect replacement for Nibbs. Team first, always. Leadership. Super important role for us next year.

Does he have the tank? Nibs would run all day. I agree with you, but worried he might blow up

Last day of annual leave so made it down for the entire session. Just a couple of impressions

Clarry - Engaged and connected. Very playful with teammates, knocking ball out of Roo's hands & laughing, Volunteered to act as key forward, chat and a hug with Goody. Any thought of him not wanting to be here was put to rest in my mind.

Roo - Looked a class above in contested situations. Great use of body. Good hands and found space.

AMW - Clean skills and a touch of class. In 1:1 drill with Chin, beat him 5 times in a row. Disposal good all session. 

Jeffo - Looked smooth. Led well, made good position and was dangerous in contested situations. Also a couple of great shots at goal including one in general play from about 60 meters out. On todays session I would have Roo, Disco & Jeffo as my key three forwards. Petty also had great body positioning playing in defence (as previously mentioned). He came to the fore in 1:1 contents.

Kentfield - Was very impressed with his general play, leading and kicking. Looks a great size and has talent. Struggled a bit when the running started. A good prospect.

Verrall - More skilled than I had previously thought. Showed some ability forward and as a link in play.

Bowey - Lethal by foot, kicking darts.

Great sage nailed another of Nibblers potential replacements in AMW. I also think McKee getting more involved playing Nibbla’s role could be good for us. 

Getting very excited after just a couple of digital Demonland training sessions. Salivating for the Beatles reunion as the two stars with the rogue off-season drama’s rejoin a rejuvenated Demons unit.

Mind you, you’d think Roo must be enjoying being a forward while May and Lever are still on holidays. Big things from our blone forward, with Harrison enjoying an injury free preseason. 

Lots to like, keep up the reports, really enjoy the banter.

Go Demons!

Andy Moniz-Wakefield is not getting a gig with the MCC Wind Ensemble anytime soon (Koltyn showed promise though).

But come Week One of pre-season, that’s the third positive review l’ve read of AMW on the track this week. That block of games he played after his debut has given him self-belief and confidence.

If Trent and Judd are destined upfield, there’s a slot for the taking at half-back for a talented young bloke with his credentials.

Petty training with the backs. Must be going to play Tauru forward.
