Hayden Young (Drafted by Fremantle)
Absolutely Mel the next best player is apparently Young and we are crying out for class and skill in numerous positions in other words finishing expertise and the highlights for young Haydn have got No 3 and our requirements all over them. Whether he excels as a half back Centre man or on baller his talent is needed. And while we are At it let's continue on that theme and get a No 8 with all round skills maybe Kemp or Ash or Weightmen or Jackson. One must be available if we do not split this pick.

Hayden Young (Drafted by Fremantle)
He is not even with us yet Decisive and you wish to change his position! Let Young get settled (if we get him) in his position (half back) and play his role. in case you are not aware we have just recruited two players called Langdon and Tomlinson allegedly who are wingers or play that position. Langdon's highlight reel show him kicking goals and passing to forwards! I hope we get Young snd that he makes half back his own for a decade or more as he transcends the line with smart play snd brilliant long kicking (in his highlights). But if in his evolution as a player he also can go into the midfield (or wing) then we have a potential A grader which we all crave as sorely needed at present.

Hayden Young (Drafted by Fremantle)
What's your point re Young ? He looks to fill both bills fast as in speed with run from half back and brilliant decision making as in that pass on the highlights reel that set up the goal for a win. Most if our players are often hamstrung for such vision and it is instinctive in Young it looks like!

Poll: Who do you want with our first two picks?
No best available unless we get s third pick then small forward or Sokol would be nice so Young At 3 and Kemp/ Serong / Jackson at next pick and Weightmen/Sokol for last pick. PSD Reckon Martin/Sam Gray/ Christiansen/ or Walker from Lions fir key forward and defence steadiness depth. Good mark and doesn't panic Could take Oscars place!!

Nick Robertson
As a Lions home ground Gabba watcher over his career my take would be his only flaw is a lack of ability ie skill. But he ticks many boxes and is one if the most determined competitors around. Personally I would prefer if we chased Sam Gray or Alan Christiansen as I believe our needs in that small crumbing goalkicking forward role are greater.but Nick R would not be a bad rookie either. But firstly let's persuade JACK MARTIN of his role and need at Demonland for flair talent and class. Now we are really talkin!

AFL Players Without Contracts
Sorry Seen Walker improve in defence and an most surprised Lions have not signed him up. plays with more body and while not all Harris Andrews skills he is hard to beat one on one Msybe pace a question but reliable snd good overhead mark
-
AFL Players Without Contracts
Has improved markedly at Bris bane Def defence insurance and can switch hut up forward Sam Gray and Christiansen ( don't like how he ducks his head) are the types of players we should look at as they are small forwards with skills and above all kick goals!

Jon Ralph says Demons are effectively a basket-case team
Revs worst fault was his refusal to realise that Heff White needed support and let Jolly go snd he played in 2 flags!!!

Jon Ralph says Demons are effectively a basket-case team
Incorrect SK we win that game by about 5 goals in the opening round of 2005. Please get facts right at least when you make sweeping and general statements.

Ben King
This thread is a waste of time and space and is fantasy driven. Nowhere is there any shred of evidence that the King from GC will be up at the Dees its just fanciful snd a waste of space. Elliot is a sure thing in comparison to this drivel

Ben King
Really DD !! Well off for smalls ?? You must be the only Dees supporter of over 1/4 of a million that says we are well off for smalls. Glad they haven't got you in the room at the draft and FD meetings!

Petracca Ready to Take Next Step
They spend most time on the ball Trac prob is more a forward and perhaps 40 plus goals is more realistic but 25 possessions is not unrealistic.
-
Petracca Ready to Take Next Step
Ridiculous overraeaction Yes he needs to build fitness or a tank and his goal technique from 35 m in is flawed but you work in these problems and improve players Trading l players out is not the answer his season was his best overall yes 30 plus goals should have been his total but his major fault was his very good first halves and not so good after half time that's partly fitness and dldonbuikding a tank not necessarily overweight . Far too much flogging players over last year snd in 2020 everyone gets a chance if retribution.

When big clubs stop being big clubs
Really that is a nitpicking of use of words. Challenging means contending and if you ain't doing either then you are not in the race. Committed to winning is what ALL Clubs are (saying publicly or privately) but challenging/contending is the real achievement. Yes it is only words and U believe the statement of our aims is exactly what we fans want. Be a chance each season ie contend and challenge.

Billy Stretch
I am sick of the Lewis bashing. Stretchy has had ample opportunities to establish a regular place on the Dees lineup. it is no one else's fault but his snd our Coaching and Development plans. He is not a half back and really should be an outside wing/runner able to Make space and Kick expansively into our forward line in order that he can play on and deliver without pressure to our forwards.

Petracca Ready to Take Next Step
Sorry Inside 40 m for goal kicking!! Not outside 40m
-
Petracca Ready to Take Next Step
Spot on Too good to be just a first half tease! Needs a big tank for endurance and a revamped goal kicking procedure from 40 m out plus Over to you Mr Burgess and Trac. Result 25/30 possessions per game and 50 goals per year.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ADAM TOMLINSON
So a struggling Club should also go after Elliot?

List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
No he is saying we work with Charlie to give him every chance of developing as he is contracted next year. Another pre season may well make a big difference.
