No 21. I've read reports on here how good he was with the kids at a few of those footy clinics. Gets down to their level. There's even a cute King Charles Spaniel pooch at the Sandringham games that wears his number. (and another wears one for Bruce) Wouldn't that make a cute photo for the memoirs?

4.

I'll be proudly wearing my red-with-off-centre-demon jumper at the cattery this week with the dutchman's number on my back. Dutchy's performance in the one point win there at CHB is one of my favourite footy memories.

He should be though.

Not playing him is the reason we've been smashed in the first two weeks!

I thought that was Phil Read :D

If we are lacking pace, Valenti will struggle.

2 and 10 for mine.

I still think Grimes would be a good bet!

Bails does sound like he loves him though... And a number of our players lacking pace might very well be moved on this off season. I suspect a number of indigenous speedsters will be on the list next year a la Port...

2 - character is everything

There hasn't been anything to enthuse about in rounds 1 and 2, so you could probably do worse than go for an untried youngster. Jack Grimes (No 16) seems to have the right credentials ....... if we can ever get him onto the 'G'.

"Grimes is a medium defender/midfielder who is an exceptional reader of the game and a very good decision maker. Captain of the Northern Knights TAC Cup team, Grimes averaged more than 28 possessions per match. Possesses excellent endurance and has recorded a beep test of 15.10 with the AIS-AFL Academy. Named as an All-Australian at the 2007 NAB AFL U18 Championships" (Player profile, MFC Website).

I've also read somewhere that he displayed outstanding leadership qualities as a junior.

It's a terrible reflection on where the MFC are at at present that I'm suggesting an untried player number for your 'pride and joy', but on the other hand, imagine the bragging rights 5 years down the track, when when Jack is widely regarded as a superstar, she'll be able to claim that she wore his number even before he had played his first game .... even better if she can get it autographed and dated!!

Shite! ....... and 30 seconds after keying this, I read that he's now been placed on the long term injury list!

I want it to be someone who hurts for their club, who shows courage and passion, and who shows strength in times of adversity..

#2 or #3...I say go with #3.

36 or 2

2....10....or 1 ( in that order)

I thought that was Phil Read :D

Or Peter Walsh :D

I love the unfashionable underdog :lol:

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.
