IMHO:

Bartram for Bell - BOG for Casey, speed and endurance to run with one of the best midfields in the comp. Bell out due to collarbone unortunately.

Johnson for Martin - Played really well on weekend, Stef looks like he could use a rest. Geelongs forward line will be more of a hassle with the little guys, not the man mountains.

McKenzie for Morton - Cale needs a rest, and if Bailey has the aggots Jordie should get a run at home, give us a chance to see if he can step up.

Probably max of 3 changes, but Valenti, Whelan, Bennell and Miller are unlucky. Maybe Miller for Robbo.

Thoughts?

Why make so many changes to a winning side. Reward the players.

In: Watts

Out: Bell

Not sure if there will be many changes but would love to see Bartram back.

I think it is time for the sacred one to be rested. Yes that is Cale.

Out: Bell Morton

In: Barts (???)

Mclean looked in the wars on the weekend, He seemed to be limping a lot. Possibly out?

No way will Watts get sent down to the Cattery.

Jurrah may even be rested against those thugs.

In Batram

Out Bell

After this week we should blood youngsters like cheney, hughes, bennell, bail, watts. etc etc and see what they are made of, also it may diminish our chances of winning which is not the worst thing given our win on the weekend.

No way. He had an awesome game

Agree, yesterday was his best game for MFC IMO. Obviously needs to work on his kicking but otherwise is developing nicely.

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE don't play Watts! A Backline like that will crush him, and the only thing he'll get of the game will be critisizm. He played well enough for Casey, leave him there for another week.

Rest a few players, bring in some poor ones.....doesn't really matter, it's Geelong at Skilled.....

Although we are on 3 wins you could say we are really on 4 wins because there is no way that Freo will want to win the round 20 game. They can get a priority pick (after the first round) if they don't win more than 4 games. I think they will beat WC in the derby because WC can't afford to win any more games.

Therefore the only thing we can do is rest some of the play-makers for the North and Richmond games such as Bruce and Green, McDonald, Bate, Maloney and now Jurrah.

It's time to give Bail, Hughes and Valenti some games for their development and bring back Newton at FF.

Even then I think we will struggle not to win 5 games.

    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.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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
