Weve got picks 1 & 2.. now all but Daisy the cow and Drongo Dave seem to agree that this will be Scully and Trengove or at worst Trengove and Scully !!

If we were to say hypothetically pick up the Ball ( yes, intended ;):lol: ) at the PSD then , and if we can harness the force...we'll have Ball, Scully and Trengove..ably assisted by the likes of Grimes, Morton, Jones and Moloney with Blease and Strauss still to come.

Its just mind-boggling how all but overnight how much sharper, quicker and skilled that midfield becomes.

some blokes are really going to have to train and play their guts out if they want to press for this new Melbourne...great isnt it :)

oh..btw...put it in the drafting sides of things..as none of those three are actually here yet !! ;):rolleyes:

what about adding jack watts to your hypothetical?

he's my perfect example of a good name but not an elite player...

I said good names but elite players because your listed players would struggle to get a game for the cats...i see the cats as the bench mark for the comp.

but i agree...some blokes will need to train harder than ever this year for there spot...i would say the pressure will be on jamar...wit more experienced spencer and hopefully an injury free meesen chasing for the number 1 ruck spot...some healthy comp never hurt anyone :rolleyes:

is he playing in the midfield any time soon ? :rolleyes:

My hypothesis is particular to the look and shape of it ( the midfield )

Any corelation to the Cats is pointless. My point is that the midfield, OUR midfield will take on a completely different look next year. A lot quicker and skilled. The decision making ought to take a couple of big strides upwards.

You do make a good point re rucking. ..almost a competition with one as to who gets the lollies there. and thats a healthy thing.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
