I reckon Petterd is in our best 22 now given his current form.

Will be hard for Newton to have a big year from the rookie list, unless they mean for Casey.

agree, PJ at Full Forward is an absolute doozy. a case can be made for naming Grimes on the interchange too. :wacko:

Definitely not much thought gone into that prediction ... maybe its our most experienced team but a fair stretch from our best, especially in the light of statements about a youth lead revival. None of Garland, Bennell, Jetta, Cheney or the '09 draftees definitely make you wonder!

The Age... what a joke, I expect better from them. Bartram? PJ? Dunn? Where are Scully and Trengove? What about Stef? Bennell?

Of course the forward line won't have any firepower when PJ is down there you fools.

Scully and Trengove are "ready-made players" apparently, but yet they can't get a gig.

Poor.

The AFL.com one was pretty accurate, however.

Anyone else notice thet the Age's "Star Five" are just our four most experienced players + Bate? No Grimes, no Sylvia. No thought really. A oretty pathetic effort from what is usually a reliable paper.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that.

No surprise that there's no mention of who the author was. Whoever wrote it wouldn't want to have their name put next to it.

PJ should play CHF. That is where he started his career.

so from afl.com.au's best 22 - who will miss out? Morton and Jurrah?! So 2 from our best 22 isn't in too bad shape to go into round 1 with?!

If we could get either of those teams onto the park, there is clearly enough experience there line by line to be competitive - plenty of 3+ years :blink: . Would like to see more bullishness about our chances. The youth argument doesn't wash with these line-ups - every team has some inexperience.

No Pettard, no Grimes in the Age. No Pettard, no Watts in AFL. I wonder what the definition of "Best team" is in both cases

Again as I mentioned in the Sun review, forget the best 22 team

Let the flogging begin

Grimes on the IC .. think grimes may be better than a few others listed in the 18

If Watts is good enough to be on the IC after 3 games presumably Scully and trengrove are our on the emergency bench...

Just another nameless journo that posts under the pseudonym AAP who has APDNFI

PS For those unaware AAP is a news service that sends the same story to many outlets

PPS APDNFI Absolutely Postively Definately No ... Idea

Another summation of our situation leading into the season ...

Can't find much to argue with that. At least he wasn't suckered into picking a "best 22".

I'm hoping Maric has a break-out year too.

2010 AFL premiership season preview with Leigh Colbert: Melbourne Demons

A couple of things jumped out at me on reading this:

Re: Addam Maric "think Shaun Higgins" ........ I'd love to think so, but it would be a huge step up!

Re: Lynden Dunn "has a bit of mongrel about him. Perhaps too much". .......Is that the Lynden Dunn who plays for Melbourne? Not from where I sit!

    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
