PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 2nd December 2024
Melonmonster replied to DistrACTION Jackson's topic in Melbourne Demons
Do we actually get access to the kid ? Rather not get my hopes up 😂 -
Welcome to Demonland: Jack Henderson
Melonmonster replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
Wonder if Adem would rookie Noah 😂 would be great if we signed him with Casey and gave him a few years development while in our program. Then we would take him in the mid year or a future draft.. -
weapon

Happy with Lindsay , best on ground in the states grand final. has a weapon of a kick and can find the footy. wonder what his running stats where at the combine ..?
-
IS BO ALLAN THIS YEARS JOSH WEDDLE!!!??? caps intended
-
How have you herd this ? just out of curiosity .
-
The kicking is a worry from Bo Allen. to be fair not one of the top prospects has elite kicking from what I’ve seen. Some can kick it well like smiley and Langford but they still regularly miss targets . (Expect Lindsay ) Someone explain why we would pass on Draper , he reminds of Warner explosive great evasion and a real competitor .
-
I have a feeling this year will be the one cal has a few miss placed. tough year to call, but I doubt we’d reach for Tauru at 5 .
-
Why would the crows need to do that? Jagga smith would probably be available at pick 4 anyway wouldn’t he?
-
He looks unreal with ball in hand . So natural and that kick is elite. the issue is contest and defensive ability and effort from some of the matches I’ve seen. was he carrying an injury ? Is his fitness lacking therefore when he gets to contests he has no energy ?
-
A lot of Jeffos goals were free or uncontested 😬 I have to say it , He also looks a little timid . Bit of Jwatts . as for Armstrong , JT won’t pick him .
-
I recon well end up with pick 2 pick 5 and future 3rd for Pick 2 if north really want Tauru . and hopefully split 9 get Hynes and Allen !

2024 Player Reviews: #16 Bailey Laurie
Melonmonster replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
https://central.rookieme.com/afl/player/bailey-laurie/#:~:text=He is one of the,spots with incredible lateral movement. have a read of this write up pre draft. cal twomey and Riley Beverage had huge wraps on him. I still think he can make it , big year coming up for him, it’s hard making your was as a small forward . -
So that’s why Carlton traded two picks around that mark to get to pick 3? On track to debut ? I expect jeffo to play a handful of games at most next year . Happy to let him develop and re evaluate in 2 years. side question, whose rates better aerially Langford or Smilie ? I see both have big kicks but from what I’ve seen smilie seems to hit more targets lace out . I’d be happy with Langford/Smilie Lindsay/Trafaglia
-
Jagga no good nothing special Langford too slow So let’s split 5 and take Reid, Trafaglia and Lindsay ! 🙃
-
This is what worries me 😂 Surely we are not taking Armstrong with the talented kids available .
-
Is taj hotton a possibility with this pick? what are peoples thoughts on him. have herd he dominated some games before injury , 4 goals 30+ possessions. could he be a wizard Watson type player with instant impact after regaining fitness ?
-
Liam jurrah as midfield coach ?

2024 Player Reviews: #9 Charlie Spargo
Melonmonster replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Is he running yet? -
Bo Allen looks like a weapon . very fast, huge leap , tough and big left boot. Every kid will be judged individually , I’d trust JT if he wanted to draft a west Australian
-
soemthing came out a few weeks ago about him saying in an interview that he would prefer not to bed drafted to Adelaide after the way they treated Rachelle . Can’t confirm if that was legit or if the crows would even care .

2024 Player Reviews: #21 Matthew Jefferson
Melonmonster replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I just think they see him as long term project player, I can see him sitting on our list for a while and playing a small amount of games over the next two years . I’m okay with that too. fwiw Jed Busslinger is on a similar path at the dogs -
-
He’s 18, have a look at rozzee and Neale and Cripps even at that age . They have a lot of development ahead and that’s what makes a good recruiter , not judging them of now but what they will become ! I have a feeling most will be looking for a player with the weapons like Langford and lalor but Jagga could easily be beat of this crop eg a lachy neale type
-
Armstrong looks like he can crash packs , all I ever saw of Jefferson was marks on the lead or out in space uncontested . I feel the game where he kicks 7 for vic metro he actually kicked most of his goals from ducking out the back or from free kicks. A couple good leads but nothing to say he would be a good afl player. this was his breakout game that out him into first round contention.
