Personally, I think he is nothing like Rivers. He is not a big strong body, and if he tries to muscle up too much it might affect the qualities he has.

 Completely agree.

He is a big strong body, if you closely watched him last year you would see how well in and under he was for an 18 year old.

He has the frame and will fill out nicely to become a Zac Merret type frame.

He is hard at it and perfect for a midfield run, will improve his kicking and learn the game tempo and when to take it on.

m8 don’t get me wrong I love McVee and Rivers, but I think you’re the one who needs their eyes checked if you think we have Dan Houston or Lachie Whitfield back there 

The fact is compared to a lot of  contenders our half backs don’t rack up a lot of possessions and, apart from the odd highlight or two, don’t play a significant role in our ball movement 

UTTER RUBBISH.

Why has Riv been able to successfully transfer to a harder role in the midfield without being good at HalfBack.

Judd has had 2 great years at HB and is one of the best young HBacks in the AFL.

Thts why I am not fussed we haven’t got Houston. Whitfield was better 5 years ago.

You are due at Specsavers in half an hour. Dont criticise our players ridiculously.

houston and whitfield are two of the best rebounding defenders in the competition

i'd argue that mcvee is a better 'defender' per se; his 1:1 work and ability to 'stop' his oppo is fantastic

he's a 'neat' kick who focuses on maintaining possession whereas houston and whitfield are attacking kicks

My brother in Christ you need to relax I never said they were bad players

If you can’t understand the nuance of what I’m saying then I don’t know what to tell you 

And hey for what it’s worth if the coaches agreed with you they wouldn’t have tried to trade for Houston and wouldn’t have moved Windsor so half back so 🙃

If only I had a quid for every post that opens with the word rubbish.

Great to have passion but it comes across as fairly arrogant IMHO.

Can we all try and take it down a notch or two this year.

Let's make Dl a positive and enjoyable site for everyone in 2025 you bunch of.....

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
