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.

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.

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.

I can confirm that was talking to Pj on facebook and he says he rolled it in cairns so he is having a week off

Precautionary measure no doubt.

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)

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).

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
