Still waiting

Magic. Absolutely fantastic

https://sportalburywodonga.com.au/person/campbell-chesser Campbell Chesser ”the 16 year old from Wodonga…” ”the former Wodonga turned Lavington footballer”

It’s a sign of a strong team when delisted players get picked up elsewhere. Jay had strong attack at the footy and could still strongly. With Jetta retiring, I thought he might be able to stay on and be considered for the small defensive role. Not to be so we wish him good luck.

Sounds like a kid who is mature beyond his years. Had to grow up fast and it’s likely the death of his father makes him appreciate things more. He is probably not on the radar from a needs basis but JT sees character and potential highly so he could still be on the list.

And we’re back.

Anyone know the cutoff date for nominating as a father-son selection? Definitely like to see us nominate Woey jnr.

Chesser is from Wodonga and boarded at Melbourne Grammar. Played at Sandringham Dragons. Quick burst of pace. Seemed to do a lot of media and very presentable young man. His injuries may see him slide down outside round 1. But his under 16s carnival form was outstanding so he will have to be strongly in the frame. If Dees want some outside mid pace, he may be seriously considered.

Well said Lord. Agree Dogga is a rare athlete and hard to put pressure on young Mac Andrew to try to copy him. Mac is very light and raw talent. Mac Andrew is definitely worth getting into your footy club but hard to justify top 4-5 pick on a youngster who needs development and the pressure of a top pick. Would love to see the young man stay in Melbourne and at MFC and have plenty of time to develop over min 3 years imv.

I like your thinking here 🤞Mac

Yes definitely more of an outside midfield runner. Like to see him brought in as a Rookie. Then get him into the Brayshaw household as another young Demon boarder. Even if he didn’t make it, the Brayshaws produce and develop fine young men and footballers.

Thanks Turner for the support and not the trolling. With the Dees premiership, I was hoping it’s positive energy on DL for the future. Usually a 70% strike rate. Actually as well the considered later picks Mansell, Ford and Winder looked ok in their AFL debuts this year. Got Salem over Freeman, Petracca over McCartin (who didn’t, yes the Saints) , Oliver over Parish. Liked Wines over Toumpas as we all did. Thought Gysberts and Lucas Cook picks were a (censored). Definitely got Scully & Trengove over Martin wrong (but they were the chosen ones). Got Bowey wrong (he’s a beauty and ok to be wrong. Saints were bleeding once again😢). It’s a guess work without interviews and all the backgrounds and full access that recruiters have. It’s all a bit of a fun, a distraction whilst we spend 5 months waiting for the action to begin. There’s no guarantees. JT is a legend and he’s been one of the keys behind our success. In JT we trust 🏆

Without knowing draft pick order and sliding doors, inexact science and using a cloudy crystal ball 1-10 Horne-Francis, Daicos#, Darcy#, Callaghan , Hobbs, Ward, Rachele, Sonsie, Gibcus, Amiss 11-20 Erasmus, Johnson, Sinn, Wanganeen-Milera, Draper, Goater, Andrew, Roberts, Darcy Wilmot👍🏻, Jacob Van Rooyen👍🏻 21-30 Campbell Chesser👍🏻, Butler, Motlop, Jack Williams, Zac Taylor, Fahey#, Conway, Tom Brown, Owens#, Knevitt. 31-40 Bazzo, Long, Windhager#, Blake Howes👍🏻, Connor MacDonald👍🏻, Isaac Birt👍🏻, Alleer, Clarke , Corey Warner👍🏻, Murley 41-50 Jackson, Lewis Rayson👍🏻, Banks, Willis, Burgoyne#, Charlie Molan👍🏻, Sheldrick, Lohmann, Dib#, Arthur Jones. Taj Woewodin - Dees father-son. Hopefully bid comes around post “37”. Use 3rd round choice for Taj Andy Moniz-Wakefield , hoping we can a Rookie NGA Pick

My laminated poster arrived last Friday the 22 October

Lots of mid aged talent on the list and big Maxy has years ahead of him in combo with Dogga. Dogga, Riv, Kozzy, Jakey all with 10 years of footy ahead of them. Lots to enjoy. I’m sure Goody will want to stick around.

Exactly right

He’s not a boy anymore. But still only 24 and should now be entering into his perfect age bracket to break out. Potential. So much potential. A big preseason ahead. I’d like to see him do a SAS type preseason. Conquer his fears. Gym work. Get angry on the field. Positive belief. Hours and hours and hours of kicking for goal. Hours and hours and more hours of marking of the footy.

Learnings are happening. Connection forward of centre are happening.

That’s the moment

Agreed. Watched it and at the very end Daniel looks to his midfield teammates and asks “how am I going to stop that!!” He had three players running at him and was helpless to stop our avalanche. Daniel - the little man who thought he’d take on big Maxy … who’s laughing now !!! Bang bang bang bang. 🏆

Definitely. Get him through to end 2023 at least!!! He’s development work across the youngsters has been sensational. His word to Trac to focus and get the footy was a catalyst. Need to keep him and have Choco setting the standards and not having players relax with one premiership.

Absolutely a key part of our year. He played 20 games and his run and carry as well as defensive roles were part of our success. Love his pace to chase or burst clear. As soon as he got injured v Eagles, you could tell how upset he was. Hunt knew we’d be pushing for that premiership and his injury would put his role in that in doubt. Really sad he missed out. Still his enthusiasm when we won the GF was great. I think he’ll be in our best 22 in 2022 and be hungry for success. It’s a tough team to crack into but we will have Hunt and Tomlinson bursting to get in and the pressure for spots will be hot.
