Demon Jack

Lever looks closer than 12-16 weeks. Just saw him running at full tilt and snapping at goal. He's also competing comfortably one on one with Tim Smith. The club is probably just being very conservative in his progress considering its his second ACL.

Yep, that's definitely him. Welcome to the club Jay!

Can anyone tell me who's wearing the #43? Definitely not Guy Walker. Whoever it is, I can't say he'll get a game soon. Just accidently nailed one of the trainers in the hip with a lace out drop punt. That'll leave a bruise. EDIT: Now that I think of it, there's every chance it could be Lockhart.

I like the look of Jordan. Just saw him training with the likes of Jones, Petracca and Oliver at the moment in some one on one contested ball drills and can hold his own. Lovely kick as well. EDIT: And of course as I say that, Clarry nails him in a dynamite tackle. Holding the ball!

Haven't seen him yet. Also, May now running laps. Doesn't seem too hindered by anything. Can only presume the club is making sure he's 100% for Round 2 against Geelong.

Keilty and Hunt training with the forwards with the latter just nailing a flat drop punt at goal from 50m. Sounded good off the boot!

Jones, Viney, Harmes, Preuss and Melksham with the main group. EDIT: Also just saw KK training with the main group.

Garlett, Lever, Smith (of the Tim variety) and May in rehab.

Pruess in the VFL? I thought the coaching staff would've preferred to see another sample of the 'Prawn' ruck combo before round 1. Excited to see May in the red and blue though!

Yep, 2010. Incredible day at the G back when we could dispatch any non-Vic side at the G by 10 plus goals before copping a loss of a simliar magnitude ourselves the next week. Closest we've come since then was a draw in 2011. We're way overdue.

Terrible news. Absolutely devastated for Aaron. After all the excitment of being drafted and training with the boys with the possibility of some JLT appearances, I'm sure its a tough blow for the kid. Fingers crossed on his recovery.

Ha(r)mes' Hangers?

Hogan officially a Docker along with pick 65. We get picks 6 and 23 in return.

It's been strangely quiet today considering deadline is just over 48 hours away. God only knows how they've been able to fill the time on trade radio.

Well that was a waste of time. Thanks Freo. Hope you enjoy bottom four next year.

Thanks for everything Cam! Your stint as an undersized ruckman in 2017 in the absence of Max Gawn rightfully deserves its place in Demon folklore.

I remember that game. Big pressure relieving win for Dean Bailey after allegations of the team playing 'bruise free footy' (not entitely inaccurate). Maxy (who played a solid game) took a cracking grab on Fletcher and fittingly missed from 10 metres out directly in front.

If you think about it, this is Gus' first clear run of football since his first season in 2015. The poor kid has had some shocking luck over the last two seasons. Hopefully we give him every chance to cement his position in the team. He certainly wasn't our worst on Sunday.

We're in real need of another new Jack following the great 'Jack purge' between 2015 and 2017. Grimes, Fitzpatrick, Trengove and now Watts We desperately lack depth in this area.

First official image of Lever in the red and blue!

Definitely overs but I'm thrilled to have Jake at the club! I'm backing that Josh Mahoney still has a few tricks up his sleeve over the remainder of the trade period that will see us advance back up this/next year's draft order.

I dunno. Strikes me as 54 sort of guy.

Just a thought if the Crows don't budge on two first round picks. Would we be able to snare Sydney's first round pick as part of the potential Watts deal? As a basis, Watts + Pick 27 to Sydney for their first round pick (pick 13). Picks 10 + 13 to Adelaide for Lever.

If I can recall, Chook has a fair few runs on the board. This will be interesting.

Would be a likely top 5 placer in the B&F if it wasn't for his average first 6-7 weeks. He's been absolutely brilliant since around Queens Birthday. Fun fact: Jake has kicked at least one goal in each of his last eleven games. That ranks him at seven in the entire league for the most consecutive games kicking a goal. What makes this extraordinary is that he is the only player on that list that isn't a key forward. https://afltables.com/afl/stats/alltime/misc_goals.html#10 Pick 25 almost seems like a bargain now.
