Potentially a HUGE bust!

Lets hope not.

I still hold out hope, has limitless skill and if he can get fit and do 90% of pre-season (which hasn’t commenced yet) I think he will be an asset, but yep you are correct, could be. 

Although chances of a 2nd round pick being a bust are much higher, statistically speaking anyway, so trying to focus on up side :)

    Sorry.. seeing the words low kick and Viney in same passage still hurts far far too much!

    Assume you are referring to the last couple of minutes against the baggers 2023.

    I almost cried, but I had the foster lad, so it was the stiff upper lip.  Fat too much.

    Todays Training reports kicked off by WayneWussell, Winter Dan, Ditcha, Fritta and Turner, Roost it, Katrina and Ghost Writer, Kev plus all other posters has been another fabulous feast of footy information and pic’s as well. Loved every bit of it and distracted me from fretting about the Draft.

    Pup has filled out too. Liked his evasiveness, playmaking, good low kicks ( bit of Jagga about him).

    Good low kicks - heard a few other mentions of that too❤️.  Can we teach old dogs new tricks?  It did look like that in the first few games of 2024 then generally reverted to "kick it long and high to a pack".

    Would’ve love for McAdam to be putting the effort in early, was really unfit last year.

    Pretty disappointing, not sure how invested he is.

    Hope I’m proven wrong

    He does need to either commit 100% or retire now.  (In fairness he may have committed already but not be back in town just yet.)

    How has Howes been going? Hasn't been mentioned much mainly Jefferson and Bowey.

    how is Harry Sharp training?

    To my knowledge based on the reports to date Harry has not been present at any of the preseason sessions.

     He was in the same draft year at Bowey & Laurie so not sure why he is not required but it could be because he was listed with the Lions and they finished the season 5 weeks later than us he might not be required/allowed to start training until a certain date.

    Harry Sharp has not been at training so far. I suspect that Demonland is right that Brisbane finished later, and therefore Harry Sharp will start later.

    Thatll be it, he will need to have his mandatory 8 week or whatever it is break. They finished 5 weeks after us so he's probably a few weeks away yet.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
