    I like that squad and seriously rate ourselves a good chance!

    I heard Rodney Eade during the week that his team would be close to full strength.

    It's a good test for our young team!

    Go dees

    You would think the 24 would be the players in consideration for our first game, therefor IMO we should line up as per below

    Grimes Warnock Garland

    Buckley Rivers Frawley

    Morton Mclean Davey

    Sylvia Miller Green

    Dunn Newton Jetta

    Meesen McDonald Bruce

    Jones, Petterd, Bartram, Spencer, Martin, Moloney

    Cheney, Bail, Bell

    No PJ?

    Leaving messen and spencer to fight it out for rd 1! (if the LTI rumors are true)

    I saw Meesen at the Sydney game, and based on what I saw, he would never make our best team EVER! He was slow, he had poor attitude, and seemed to lack confidence.

    He needs to have a blinder against the dogs for him to get my vote. Spencer can not play as hes is a rookie. We need to have some one on the long term injury list. If Robbo is 8+ weeks away we could place him on the long term list.

    There is another thread going http://forums.demonland.com/index.php?showtopic=13796

    It has been suggested that Jamar has been put on the LTI due to foot related stress fractures. If this is true it makes sat game a little more interesting

    thanks. just posted. Sometime we have so many discussions on the same thing in different threads.

    Gonna head down there on Saturday.

    You always miss someone, Bate would replace Dunn and I don't really have a spot for Dunn even on the bench, I'd rather play Petterd and Bartram then Dunn.

    Would have liked Strauss to be given a go.

    Reports from PS3 in Cairns stated that PJ came off with what has variously been described as an ankle injury or a hip injury. The latter would be a bit ominous because he did have a hip op off season. He did come back onto the ground so it seems likely that it's a precautionary rest and hopefully nothing more.

    Good pick up Jack, also with Jamar out, there's no need to risk PJ before rd 1. If Jamar isn't put onto the LTI and PJ strains a hammy against the dogs, that leaves only Meesen to ruck with Spencer stuck on the Rookie list.

    19. Addam Maric (rehab after hip operation) reasonably soon

    24. Russell Robertson (Achilles) another month, then Casey.

    30. Tom McNamara (recovered from injury - probably with Casey next week)

    31. Paul Wheatley (calf) reasonably short term

    33. Austin Wonaemirri (hamstring) two more weeks (?)

    35. Trent Zomer ® (Casey next week)

    38. Daniel Hughes ® (unknown injury, unknown length of time out)

    40. Mark Jamar (stress fracture in foot) long term - at least 8 weeks

    49. Jordie McKenzie ® (Casey next week)

    Very happy to see Kyle Cheney is the team, to me he looks like a player who will work his butt off but wont be the fans favorite. just a little workhorse.

    Rohan Bail looks ready. But one would think he would have to make the most of his opportunities more then, say a Sam Blease.

    Brad Miller is growing on me more and more. His stocks were so low for me when he had that year ( i think 2 seasons ago, maybe 3 ) where he was supposed to be our enforcer. YUCK! Strength is in the head too boys.

    Im not sold on Bell, Bartam and Dunn. I just cant be confident when they have the ball.

    i am keeping the hype of rivers too a low, because i cant go through the pain of another injury interrupted season. He seems to be the first to go into battle but the first to get shot.

    See you all at the game today, bring a rain coat, because it is pissing down in frankston, which is close to casey

    I'll give you the news mate. It's pissing down everywhere. We were good in these conditions last week so it should suit us.

    Looking at the rain radar, it looks like the heavy rain should clear by the start of the match (and maybe all of the rain).

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
