YYYEEEESSSS!!!!

Some genuine marking ability and excitment.

Gee I'd like to see Jurrah, Sylvia and Bail all come into the forward line this week but happy to see Jurrah back!!

Like the comment from Bailey "Bailey said having Jurrah, Sylvia and Jack Watts all in the same side for the first time would make for a vastly improved Melbourne forward line.

“He [Watts] is a really important part of our forward line. Unfortunately this year Liam Jurrah hasn’t played with Jack Watts, he hasn’t played with Colin Sylvia in too many games either. That’s just because of injuries during the year,” he said.

“He does provide some excitement and it will be good to see those three blokes working well together in the forward line.

NOTE to the author Luke Holmesby - Casey actually beat Werribee!

“Colin and LJ will certainly be under consideration. They’ve probably played enough football over the last couple of weeks to ensure that their bodies are ready to play,” Bailey told afl.com.au.

I think this will answer any questions.

Someone as good as Jurrah wont learn anything at Casey and the only reason he would play there is to regain match fitness after injury

I was surprised a class player like Morton was omitted last week for the same reason

Sylvia is in our best 22 IMO

The sooner we get Bail back into the seniors the better

IMO if you havent played senior football in your first 2 seasons at a club your basically a list clogger (injury aside)

The next 2 players to step up will be Blease and Tapscott and i wouldnt be suprised they get a senior game before the seasons end

I think Cale will learn from this, not so much from playing in the VFL, but from not playing in the AFL.

If that makes sense.

Not every player is dropped to the VFL to find form or to learn something. Sometimes it's because they aren't pulling their weight and the team is better off without them. This is a very straightforward kick up the backside for Cale to tell him he needs to work harder and his spot in the senior side is not guaranteed.

    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.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
