Wondering which of our new recruits we see as being regulars starting next year.

I think it was general opinion before the draft that both Scully and Trengove would be playing from Round 1... what about Tapscott now, who has been described as having a mature body that is ready to go?

The other thing to consider is who will be assisting Jamar in the ruck and whether Fitzpatrick goes forward or in the ruck.

Who the f$#% is Fitzgerald ?

Why can't supporters get to know their players better ? It's either a wrong name or spelt incorrectly.

You wouldn't expect the two talls to play much next year, but the first 4 we will see. Thank the AFL for our early draw Scully and Trengove will get to start their AFL journey with what should be two matches at the MCG in front of 60,000+, add in the Richmond game in round 4 hopefully 50K+ what an experience.

I got his name wrong sue me. It was 2 in the morning. I know who he is. He looked pretty ordinary in the last game of the carnival.

Lock in the bolded players if they are fit and have uninterrupted preseasons.

If we are looking at Round 1 and Junior is fit he will be in the 18. We must dreaming if a young side with a lack of experience would have their experienced captain starting on the bench and not on the ground.

Who knows...if this gets out around the club you could become responsible for his nickname becoming Ella.

I like the look of Tapscott.

I think he's a ready made player with an already impressive frame. From all reports has good kicking and contested marking ability. A good flanker.

In your Team 45HG I'd go with that but exchange Petterd with Tapscott on the Bench.

Sorry Ricky.

Geez, a lot of boys need to prove themselves to get a game now! What a sight! :-)

The below team is the team that is most likely the one to line up, given that I think players like Garland and Wonaeamirri will be out with an injury etc..

FB: Grimes Frawley Rivers

HB: Davey Martin Bruce

C: Green Moloney Morton

HF: Jurrah Miller Sylvia

FF: Trengove Bate Petterd

Foll: Jamar, McDonald, Jones

Int: P.Johnson, Watts, Scully, J.Macdonald

Isn't it great assuming everyone is fully fit that there's now some competition up for spots. Looking over most of the teams Neville Jetta isn't in any of them. This is a kid who played 10 pretty handy games for a first year player last season, kids like him are only going to get better and that's where our improvement will come. Not only have we recruited some players who could become top shelf but we've alose managed to get our hands on some great depth.

Observation: Some of the reserves sides picked look stronger than a few of our teams in the 80's & 90's.

Question: If we still had Brock plus all of our current list - would he get a game?

Posted

I think Trengove will get a game, playing senior games in SA, he should be close to being ready for the AFL.

I hope they play a lot of the young kids in the NAB cup... or whatever it is called!!

If all are fit this would be my line up

McDonald Frawley Warnock

Garland Rivers Grimes

Morton Jones Davey

Green Bate Sylvia

Martin Watts Jurrah

Jamar Moloney Bruce

Scully Trengove Aussie MacDonald

I can't be shagged doing a first 22 at this point, but in terms of the poll, I think the most likely outcome is that Scully and Trengove will play round 1 and the others won't.

Well, there you go Neita, I couldn't fit Jetta, Maric or Wonaeamirri in the side. Probably should have a small forward in the 22. I had Davey in the forward pocket.

It goes to show, as you say, how hot it will be for spots. Particularly if the majority are injury free, up and about. Good problem to have for the FD. It will also help determine the playing list going forward in terms of strengthening the list, if all are in fact on the park, so to speak.

    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.
