Perhaps Fullarton and Tomlinson in. TMc Forward for one week and Tomlinson back. Or Tomlinson and say Tholstrup in. Tholstrup to get some mid minutes to give more time for Track up forward. TMc forward. Tomlinson has been in cracking VFL form. BBB's knees might to dodgy to fly to Perth especially at his height but he still is an option.

I thought Sparrow played well and ANB was very good IMO. They could get more mid minutes allowing Track to play a larger role forward. Woey played very well in the last q. Hopefully the 'AFL oenny' has dropped for him and he can take the next step. Not sure how Goody will view Disco's last 2 games? Whether he has played his role to an acceptable level? We do not always see what the coaches see. It's wait and see at selection. I would give him another go against WCE. No one else to bring in either.

I think the issue is the cumulative effect of a number of poor decisions or non decisions that went against us on the night. The umpires certainly put their whistles away late in the game especially when we were getting inside 50. To scared to make a decision. As a club a please explain should be sent to the AFL for clarification of a number of decisions and/or non decisions. As Demonland has many. many passionate Dee posters and readers we should have some influence (won't call it clout) with the club.

Shocking 1st half.

JT in his post draft interview said Kolt would play later as a mid in the AFL. Roy George is worth watching and he may get picked in the mid season.

Not for this draft but evidently (according to BF) Aaron Davey's son is dominating school football in Melbourne. I think he is around 14 years old. No doubt the club is monitoring and supporting. I think that is why the AFL is seeing more FS's. Clubs are identifying early and putting more time and resources in. Attention Administrators : next interview with Jason Taylor can we please get an update on FS's.

Goody said Daniel knows he has a lot to learn about forward craft (words to that effect) so Goody was happy but restrained. He did say they were hoping that they had found another forward. Key word is hoping. Only Danliel Turner can control how his story turns out. The coaches and mentors have influence but no control. If the coaches had total control their job be easy. Lets hope Daniel makes the most of his career. Good game Disco, well done.

Turner forward a Goidy master-stroke?

Turner was good last week down back with Casey but even better forward in the 2nd half. Can even swap with T Mc if necessary. Goody must rate him to include him so quickly after recovering from injury.

Not sure where to post this but next Saturday the 27th April we have Oakleigh Chargers Vs GC Academy. We have Noah Yze and Kalani White on show. No doubt we will have recruiting staff present.

Great news to keep JVR on board until at least 2029.

It took Gawn 4 or 5 years make it consistently at AFL level. Tom Hawkins similar. Point is with younger players its more about the future than now or last year. A few thought Gawn was mediocre at best. You just have to trust the club and its processes. The players will get all they need from the club to eventually make the grade . If they don't the club will let them go.

Just goes to show how important the gun playmakers are. Drop off and it makes it very tough. Bowey and Salem will make a difference to the defence. Rivers may then be able to play a bit more mid. I think we can regroup ok for round VS tigers.

Rookie me scouting notes. Noah did pretty well in his last game. https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2024/04/10/scouting-notes-2024-coates-talent-league-round-3/

Well done Kolt. Start of a long career at the Dees. Agree with posters. We are not relying on the same side that won the big one in 21. Some quality players coming in.

TMc will not go forward until at least May is 100%. Even then i think his days forward are likely done plus he adds a bit back. Would not be surprised to see Kolt come in if Chandler (who played well) does not come up.

Congratulations Jack, great effort and more to come.

He has developed into one of our most consistent players. Great game.

Tholstrup and Sestan could develop into bulky tough mid/ Forwards.

Is it a coincidence we bring in BB and Petty and all of a sudden our forward efficiency improves? Likely big targets who can play straighten us up.

He and his Dad have been guests of the Dees a few times. Loves the Dees. I am pretty sure he will pick us. Jeff also has twin boys probably around 12/13 years old or so. One was selected for the State Team and the other picked up a B & F last season. So i would say Jason and the team are doing all the right things. I have a peek at Jeff White's X account from time to time. Started a Ruck Tuition business called First Use which features on his account X frequently. Dees get loads of mentions. Last season Kaliani got quite a few mentions.

I thought Judd Mc was good against the Swans.

Very good debut. We have found another player.

This thread is great. Indispenseable.

History says we do not make heaps of changes. Bowey provided run off half back. So Salem back although he was good as a mid. Fullarton for Schache. Don't be surprised if BB is brought in. Although Fullarton should be in the team IMO. Kosi in for Laurie. Maybe Sestan, AMW or K Brown in for either Chandler or Spargo. Likely Chandler. We can say K Brown is to light but that did not stop Bowey playing in a premiership team. It's a waiting game on some of our injured players to come back.
