Neither Jamar nor Johnson will still be around.

Moloney doubtful also. And Green to come off the bench at best.

Strongly disagree about Jamar, Moloney and Green

Darn good!

Except that by 2012, Strauss will be at least what Gilbee is now, Blease will be one of the best outside mids in the comp, and Cale will be a (100kg!!) superstar KPP.

And Trengove? Did we miss out on the PP in 2009? Or did he go back to SA?

I didn't put in Trengove because i wasn't sure if we were going to select him at pick 2. It is still up in the air!

I hope we do because i don't want Bucther because he is really over rated.

.....

Everyone seems to have left Nev Jetta out!!

He was my 23rd man too. Had Brocky on a HFF just ahead of him.

Surprised he doesn't get more of a mention tho.. had a dog of a day against Freo, but his form in the previous 3-4 weeks was really promising..

He'll be around the 85kg mark - a ball of muscle by 2012, ala: moloney, leon davis -im thinking!!

Daniel Bell?? :blink::wacko::huh::o

Yes I'm still holding faith with Bell. Next year will be make or break for him along with a few others.

I hope you're right. Would love him to work his butt off and become a handy player for us.

this is how i believe our team will line up over the next few years, of course once the kids have gained some more experience:

RIVERS WARNOCK FRAWLEY

BENNELL GARLAND STRAUSS

BLEASE GRIMES DAVEY

SYLVIA WATTS BATE

PETTERD JURRUH WONAEAMIRRI

MEESEN SCULLY MCLEAN

MARTIN TRENGROVE JONES MORTON :INTER

MALONEY MARIC CHENEY :EMG

Scully and Trengrove are in red because we don't have them ... yet.

Very sorry to Maloney but i rate a fully fit Mclean and Jones above him.

Also sorry to T.Mac, Jetta (i rate his defensive work in the forward line), Jamar, Dunn, Spencer and Valenti.

And before you start ranting and raving about Bruce and Green, if you can't see that 1. Bruce is soft and 2. that Morton is the new Bruce but only 10 times better, then what have you been watching?

and as for Green, i just can't fit him in. The kids will develop into much better players than him.

Bennell, Strauss and Blease are going to be stars!

A midfield with, Grimes, Scully, Mclean, Trengrove, Jones is going to dominate and when you rotate, Davey, Blease, Sylvia, Strauss and Bennell through there, it will just be awsome!

Morton is an absolute gun and can simply play anywhere on the ground that he is needed.

The backline is going to be one of the best in the league. Rivers may have to make way for a smaller player, the backline may be too top heavy and i rate Warnock, Frawley and Garland above Rivers. The quality of run and delivery coming from Bennell and Strauss will be top class.

And lastly, thats forward line will kick a heap of goals. Not to mention the goals that will come through Davey, Blease, Grimes, Mclean and Scully!

The future is looking very good indeed!

3 years away, depending on our future draft picks my team would look something like

Martin Frawley Bennell

Grimes Garland Strauss

Morton Mclean Blease

Sylvia Butcher Davey

Aussie Watts Jurrah

Meesen Scully Jones

Maric Bate Moloney Pick 18 2009

Posted

FB: Frawley, Warncok, Bennell

HB: Garland, Rivers, Grimes

C: Morton, Scully(1), Davey

HF: Sylvia, Watts, Maric

FF: Jurrah, Panos(18), Wonna

FOLL: Jamar, Trengove(2), McLean

INT: Blease, Jones, Martin, Moloney

EMERG: Bartram, Silvagni*, Strauss

(1) = Pick 1 2009 ND

(2) = Pick 2 2009 ND

(18) = Pick 18 2009 ND

* = Pick 1 2009 PSD

Please note this team is based on assumption of Bruce retired end of 2010, Green retired end of 2011, Petetrd moved to Gold Coast end of 2010, Bate moved to West Sydney end of 2011. Fingers crossed Petetd and Bate stay put, but chances are we will loose at least one of our established players to the new franchises.

TD..you have raised that ugly spectre..." the effect of GC and WS" ..and probably just as well you have as it will definitley colour our list.

Something I probably had forgot to give enough weight to is who do we need to get as who is likely to be stolen from us.

Greens current paper finishes end of 2011... he might get another year or so if we are looking at a cup.

Really? Could you imagine wanting to leave all your mates and go to a team full of kids? Even with a fat bundle of cash, it just doesn't seem all that appealing to me.

The ones that I think will go will be disgruntled stars or players desperate to be captain yet there are too many leaders at their club to get a look in.

And I tend to think that out starting ruckman then will either be Meesen or the one that we pick up at 18 in the draft this year.

Yes I'm still holding faith with Bell. Next year will be make or break for him along with a few others.

You're still holding faith. Can I get you some water or something to eat whilst you're holding on? You've been there an awful long time gOLLy. I'm not certain the 'Bell' will ring true. Keep holding on though, you never know your luck in a big city. ;)

I hope your right. Would love us to hang on to everyone that we can. Just think we should be prepared in case it does happened. As mentioned earlier I don't think anyone was prepared for Thompson walking out after 04 just as he was starting to establish himself.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
