If my eyes didn't deceive me, the Footy Show had McKenzie down for a spot on the half back flank.

I think your eyes did deceive you as they had the two McDonalds on the back flanks and Jordie on the bench. This as has been mentioned was a squad, not an official team list.

I know it wasn't the official list... and I am positive he was on the flank (his name appeared on the left towards the middle of the team layout). The reason I mentioned it was that if they are posting a "possible" team, he seemed a strange choice to put in the starting line-up given he will need to be elevated from the rookie list.

Strauss WILL play.

I have never once seen a kid included on an extended bench for what will be his first AFL game and not get in on gameday.

I've noticed this about 10 years ago and without fail the kid always plays.

You called it.

I'm willing to subscribe to this theory.

The Footy Show must have got lucky when they made up that McKenzie and Spencer would be in the squad, considering us supporters and members didn't even know about their rookie elevation.

There is neither a deadline for preliminary 'squads' this far ahead of games, nor does Channel 9 make up the squads they show when their broadcast is shown early in the week.

The clubs submit a sort of draft squad purely for the benefit of The Footy Show which they are in no way obligated to maintain. What you saw last night will be indicative of what we will see at 5pm tonight but last night's version is entirely unofficial insofar as any number of changes may be made.

This is exactly the same situation as what we see every year when TFS shows the extended 'squads' for the QB game on the Thursday night broadcast.

Is that correct Inner? What source is that please? Not saying you are wrong as I don't personally know myself, but I couldn't tell you the last time a side picked a team with some different players that weren't originally listed on TFS, regardless of what day they were playing, and if it were an extended squad for the sake of TV. I''m pretty sure the clubs can get fined if they include players not originally listed in an extended squad.

looking forward to Blease playing his first AFL game. No doubt the Demons will have a tough year BUT it will be a year the side will build from strength to strength with each game.

Can not wait to be back at the G this Saturday :)

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
