PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 27th November, 2023
Whispering_Jack replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
More rubbish reporting from the Herald Sun. Headline: DEES’ OLDIES RIPE FOR FIRST SESSION, OLLY MISSES MEMO Josh Barnes - Track watch Opening Two Paragraphs: “A bunch of senior Melbourne leaders joined their younger teammates for day one of pre-season on Monday but Clayton Oliver was not one of them. “As an experienced player, Oliver is not required back until next week, with the first week of training officially only for first to four year Demons.” If Clarrie is not required back until next week and is still on leave, exactly what “memo” has he missed?- 266 replies

For all bar the northern states, the academy system has been rendered meaningless. A move is on foot to change the rules again to make the academies worthwhile again. Academy bid disparity “going to change” as early as 2024 draft

The starting order for next year’s draft. As usual, we can expect plenty of changes over the next 12 months. 2024 draft order: Pies hope for Hawks slide, Tigers load up

Welcome to Demonland Koltyn Tholstrup
Whispering_Jack replied to Mach5's topic in Trade, Draft & Free Agency
I don’t suppose that Melbourne has ever had a Koltyn playing for the club before? -
Wow. Another disappointing way to bow out of a season! Three consecutive losses. Ouch! Let’s vote and remember - there’s always next year.

There’s a lot more to recruiting that meets the eye. The top recruiters spend a great deal of their time on due diligence, interviewing the players they fancy, their families, coaches, school teachers etc in order to establish as thorough a profile of their target as possible. I don’t have that information but on what I’ve seen of his footy skills and prowess, I would be happy to see his name come up at pick 6 if that indeed, is our first pick on Monday night.
