Rest.

We should now play Weetra and Meesen for the rest of the year and give White, Yze and Holland the last game if they are not in the side by then.

That is proper list management. We should find out if these guys can play!

Injured senior players should now be rested and get right for next pre season.

Give the kid a break.

All four will play this weekend, albeit not with Melbourne. Cheney will be back for the Sandy reserves, and all of Green, Wheats and Wonna will play against the Dons.

If fit, all should play, with Cheney at Sandy and the rest for the MFC.

No thanks. If they can't play at Sandy (or Sandy reserves), tell me again why we need to play them at AFL level to see what they've got.

Meesen is contracted for next year, so he can get a run then if you need to see a player at the top level. His form doesn't warrant leap-frogging Jamar, PJ, and White.

Weetra had a run in the NAB Cup and also got a couple of games, didn't do well, and has languished in the Sandy reserves for much of what's been an inconsistent season, even at that level.

Yes, Weetra didn't do much at all, he's goose is cooked.

Brad Miller is out this week with a hamstring injury which was not reported earlier in the week. Ricky Petterd is not in the Sandringham team to play at the weekend. Last week itwas the same thing with Wheatley who was out with a calf injury that wasn't disclosed in the week's injury list. Presumably, these players' injuries happened after the list was issued but this has become such a commonplace occurrence that I'm starting to wonder about our fitness and training set up at the club.

This is one of the first areas the club should review IMO.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
