2023 Player Reviews: #21 Matt Jefferson
He might do a McVee and surprise us all? I think eventually he will become a taller version of Fritsch or a shorter King, rather than a solid Brown or McDonald

2023 Player Reviews: #9 Charlie Spargo
Last year was similar to his 2nd and 3rd year, players like Chandler and McAdam will put lots of pressure on him to get back into the AFL team.

2023 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow
He needs to improve this year since there are lots of players looking to get his job, this will be his 6th season and he needs to get his disposal count into the high 20's to retain his place.

2024 Free Agents
The original list was not very impressive

How did you become a Demon?
I was born in another country but emigrated to Australia in 1949 and when I went to school I was asked which team did I barrack for? Since in my original country we support the town were we lived, in Melbourne but resided in Caulfield, it was the logical club to barrack for.

Dees Young Core Ranked 15th for 2024
I said that drafting is like buying a racehorse with good blood lines you never know you have a Winx or a dud until they race and get more mature. Players are supposed to reach their best years after 25 so under 24 are potential players not guaranteed stars of the game. I have watched football for over 65 years and noticed some players come into the game with a bang and go out with a whimper a la Cale Morton and Michael Newton.

The 2023 AFL Draft Thread
I think drafting is like buying a racehorse you only know what you got until it races and gets a little older.

Daniel Curtin
Clarkson has created a bluff hoping WC take Curtain with pick 1.

The 2023 AFL Draft Thread
I think the draft is like watching paint dry. They sit there and basically create drama for drama's sake. I would not allow any club the time they take to make a pick, gets boring to watch.

Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
I think we should encourage the Western Bulldogs to recruit him since they pickup former Demons (Hannan, Baker and now Harmes) which are in my opinion NQR AFL players.

Is the player in the above picture Kynan Brown?

Connor O'Sullivan
Last year some of the posters said Judd McVee had a poor season and should have been delisted, guess what he proved that he is a good player in the making. Judging players like Jed Adam, Matthew Jefferson and Will Verrall by their development season is like saying Max Gawn will never make it after 3 seasons since he had 2 reconstructions without a pre-season, give them another pre-season and they may blossom?

Connor O'Sullivan
His highlights are very good but live vision is required to see his overall game. His disposal looks good as well.

James Leake
I think the MFC has Leake-d the information as a distraction from the player they want.

James Leake
What about George Stevens looks a goer and is very solid, fiscal beast ready made for AFL footy.

James Leake
I have watched some highlights and I don't think he is worthy of a pick 6. He uses his strength to win the ball but that will not work in the AFL against bigger and stronger bodies.

Phantom Drafts 2023
The phantom drafts are dependent on the recruiters giving information to the journalist who the club is interested in, at one stage WB was sold on Watson now its Sanders because Hawthorn saw something in Watson. If Curtain is there when we have a pick his upside is tremendous plays Forward, Back and Midfield.
