You don't think McDonald and Moloney are important to our chances of winning interstate?

I understand McDonald and Moloney are automatic selections, but how do you drop anyone?

Jones plays an important role every week. 2 goals this week as well, played a pretty nice game playing on Kirk.

Bennel plays a really crucial role in our forward line with his forward line pressure. 14 goals or something from turnovers was purely due to our pressure in the forward line. Bennel sets that example. He stays for sure!

Agree, it is very tough to drop anyone, but as you said, McDonald and Moloney are automatics selections, or are they?

With the 6 days turnaround I'm sure they will consider resting some of the younger guys so I expect to see some 'general soreness' omissions this week if McDonald and/or Moloney are fit to come back in.

Is Scully a chance to be rested?

Its funny early in the year, was easy to decide who to drop and who to pick.

Now i give up lol.

Out: Maric, Johnson? Someone else?

In: McDonald, Moloney, Trengove?

My normal goal is to align my expectations with a likely reality, but this week I have absolutely no idea. It seems absurd that we can play a game like that and have three potential unforced changes. I don't want to drop anyone.

I call on my right to quit my armchair selector position for the week as it's too hard :)

Terrible problem to have, eh? I don't think I will play this game next year if we have Gysberts, Tapscott, Blease, Gawn, etc and whoever we draft pushing for spots. :)

IN: MOLONEY

OUT: SCULLY

Perhaps bring back Junior and only if he's cherry ripe

i know this is a mssive game, we will be going in favourites and brisbane will fancy themselves to notch their first win in a while- remember they only lost to the saints by a few goals the other week.

Strong feeling that Watts will be rested.

Would not surprise me. The body might be a little banged up and he might need a rest.

Surely one of Watts or Scully will be rested, even if only to get Moloney and/or McDonald in the team.

Considering Trengove was 'rested' for an interstate game, I expect the same to happen to Scully.

IN: Trengove

OUT: Scully

Would be very difficult to drop anyone on todays performance. Maybe Scully will be rested. I don't think Watts will miss, hes starting to put together some consistant performances and with Bate out is our link up man on the half forward line. Super happy with Bartram's effort today, im my first post on demonland i stated he's always the 1st name to come up on these threads, but today he showed how important he is. Sure he doesnt have the skills, but his endevour and defensive work is brilliant. Don't rest McKenzie, he's tackling pressure is paramount and the main reason Swans had little impact around stoppages today.

Possible ins : Moloney, McDonald and Trengove

Possible outs: ?????

Tend to agree. Just a rest though for Sculls, certainly not form. I saw Beamer limping badly today, be very surprised if he comes back in next week(How did we get away with naming him in the 22??, he was never a chance of playing). Perhaps a rest for J Watts would not be a bad idea? Warnock will also be considered for 1 of the gorillas.

Yep, got the same feeling.

I think he'll be pretty sore after this week.

IN: Junior

OUT: Watts

I think its important the likes of Bail, MacDonald & Maric hold their spots in the side. We should play the lads on form.

Hardest decision all year... but if Moloney and Junior are fit and ready, you certainly put them straight back into the side.

IN: McDonald (if fit... again), Moloney, Trengove

OUT: Bail, McKenzie (general soreness), Scully (general soreness)

P.S. Has Dunny turned a corner or what??? Wowza! :)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
