auskick started already?

Toumpas and Mckenzie going head to head. Good chance for Jimmy T to learn how to handle a bit of a tag. Priceless experience

Any reason these fellas are not playing?

My exact thoughts. Last year it was Magner and Clark who dominated early. Maybe a good tactic will be to just turn over a massive chunk of the list every year.

Good to see Hogan getting involved. Shows the kids got confidence from the word go

Why do MFC's new recruits always perform well every year for the Dees Seems to be a trend...

I have a feeling Kent would perform much better in wet weather rather then on a dry day however.

Sounds like recruits are all over it at the moment. DemonsHQ: Matt Jones kicks forward in an attempt to find Hogan, Gillies gets in front and spoils well

Kent getting a few touches

Havn't heard a mention on Blease/Barry/Watts/Garland/Strauss/Taggart yet

Are Cat B rookies on the MFC payroll?

I thought you would have your eyes on the guy in your DP, just playing his first game for the Red and Blue and all.

Forward it to CW everyday

We could use a Nahas type...

This is DL where every player is a potential superstar!

and happy birthday Jetta. 22 today. The next Rioli on our finger tips? Lets hope so, looks like he has put on a bit this pre-season.

Jack Watts so far has not shown he was worth #1 draft pick. It was not his fault he was taken at #1, it was BP's #1 picks should be almost a guarantee superstar. Sadly I do not think Watts will make it to the superstar level. Imagine we had Natanui running around in the Red and Blue, would work wonders both onfield and off-field. Natanui taps down to Viney who spear kicks it into Hogans chest would've been a standard play for the next 10 years.

I think it would be better for Hogan to play in NAB cup for a few reasons 1. I think that being left out of the team would hurt his motivation as he would not feel as much as part of the team as everyone else. He may get that feeling you get when you do not get chosen for a school team, especially when Jack Martin is out their running around. We need this kid to feel at home and as important as every other player in the team. 2. It would be good for Hogan to be able to play against real AFL backmen. It would give him the experience and knowledge of the standard he needs to get to when preparing for the 2014 season. If he does not get the chance then he will only know what standard he needs to be to play against VFL backmen. I want this kid to push himself on the training track all year and the best way for him to know how hard to go is to play against seasoned AFL backmen. 3. From a marketing perspective I am sure their are alott of supporters out their eager to see how this kid goes, if he has a good game and does a few good thing it could mean a few memberships.

Chip's facial expression seems to suggest that he is on the backend of a bad whaft of air passing through from Watts Shirt flapping

Makes you wonder with the season looming and this going on, it would be interesting if players had to suddenly quit or give up taking any type of supplements due to them being in the 'grey' area. Could it possibly mean that some players from rival clubs may be suffering withdrawal symptoms early in the season. Could be an easy win come round 2 against Essendon.

Still a mention of the demons in that piece....

Will need an eye of a hawk to figure this one out.

2-4 weeks rings a bell...

Wonder of this could potentially put questions over Watsons charlie

all this is doing my head in. I really really hope McLean gets cleaned up this year, if not by a Dee then by anyone.
