Maxwell for mine as well. Traditionally, the 'sniper' is one of the lesser lights of the team who plays hard but lacks skill and is really no loss to the side should he be suspended. In Collingwood's case, the sniper is their captain. Gotta love that...

I also think Leigh Brown might try and throw some of his (ample) weight around and run thru the kid if he gets anywhere near him.

It's why i am suprised Miller was Dropped this week. For all his shortcomings he is a Big Boy.

The Filth will try to snipe i have no doubt....Lou Richards was their most Famous one.

I wouldn't mind Phil Read right about now. I clocked up my 100TH post BEER TIME !!!! :D

DEFINITELY Beamer! He's one man you don't want to get angry!

I wouldn't be surprised to see him run 150m from one end to the other, just to stick up for our golden boy.

hahah yeh Phil Read, i recon it woudl have to be someone in the forward line depending on if Jack starts on the ground or not.

If so id say Sylvia hopefully if his playing down forward other wise our forward line isnt the most mean part of our team.

Then you've answered why he's not in the team.

By itself it doesn't warrant an inclusion.

On his recent form, I agree.

Maxwell will have a crack, and it will no doubt be behind the play because he is a pathetic snipper who thinks Josh "buttercup" Fraser is in All Australian form :rolleyes:

As for who will help protect him, I would hope anyone and everyone (except Morton, who needs to steer clear of situations where his brittle body may snap in half). I wouldn't want to have a go at Jack if Beamer, McLean, Sylvia or Jamar are around. All four could flatten someone like Maxwell in five seconds.

But if you really want to protect Jack, get Whelan to play near him. A couple of skull-shattering spear tackles on Jack's opponent will do me fine! :D

Maxwell and our tuff man Cale Morton will be first in, Col, Moloney, Mclean, Jones, Grimes, Jamar, PJ, McDonald will not be to far behind

Interesting that a lot of names have been brought up which was good!

I'll through in the big russian!! good angry unit!

Beamer

Ditto. He's an angry angry man when he's sticking up for his mates.

I don't think Collingwood will go too far out of their way to rough up Jack though. They'll give him a push and shove here and there. But if they're seriously concerned with unsettling a kid in his first game, then they haven't got their mind on the job. Would only be a good sign for us.

    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
