OK, others have tried this but barring training injuries we now know the personnel available, so here's my shot:

B: Bruce Frawley Bennell

HB: Rivers Warnock MacDonald

C: Dunn Moloney Davey

HF: Bate Miller Garland

F: Green Martin Petterd

R: Jamar, Jones, Trengove

Int: J Mac, Grimes, Scully, Cheney

Dunn was busy on the wing against WCE and post-Morton's injury I think he will get that spot.

Not entirely happy with Bennell but maybe with Bruce's experience for support he will work out.

Garland may not be ready and could be a round two return in which case Petterd goes to HF and Maric (gulp) comes in.

I figure FF is a rotation job anyway with Green and Bate spending time there.

If Garland doesn't get up then I'd play Maric or Jetta, whoever misses out.

I'd play Jamar in the goal square like against Carlton last year for 60% of the game, the rest in the ruck when Martin needs a break.

Green will also run through the midfield for parts of the game.

I have assumed the same availability as Dee-luded. Spencer is a better ruckman than Stefan but Stefan at least offers some b-grade versatility across the lines. I would much prefer a bulldogs style mobile forward line than a tall target just for the sake of it. A tall target is only valuable if they are A grade and will mark everything in site or if you have quality smalls to feed off a B/C grade talls crumbs (which we dont have).

I saw Garland yesterday, He played a half, He won't be ready for AFL for a month IMO.

And forward would be suicide for him, going in under done in a weak forwardline, picking up the best defenders.

We've just got to be patient.

Am I the only person who thought Dunn was shocking yesterday? I wouldn't have him in my Round 1 team unless he was the last available option. I thought he was terrible.

My Round 1 team, given the pre-season, would be:

If he plays a full game next week I have a sneaking suspicion he will play round 1. I see him as close to our most important defender so agree that is where he should play.

A number of people have Lynden Dunn in their 22. I must have been at the wrong game yesterday, as all Dunn did was confirm why he's a class below being an AFL footballer.

Just confirming you were at the same game as I. He was close to useless.

Posted

Saying Dunn isn't up to AFL standard is a bit silly since he has played well at this level as early as 2008... Consistency is his issue and finding the right spot where he can settle. He hasn't shown he is a class act yet but he has had an impact on occasions... as few and far as they might have been.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
