I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

I thought he was meeting up with FaultyDet in the Phillipines.....but might have got it mixed up, lol

So, whats the chance of your mate JB getting a guernsey this week?

I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

I hope you're right redleg. he does have a lot of good features but so far i tend towards od's pov (though not as strongly)

I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

Threat of delisting may work wonders.

Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

Back to WA for me.

Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

IMHO no7 is in the lead group

Add Tom Mcdonald.

I'm waiting for the first thread suggesting we could look at Connors.

Think it has already been suggested.

    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
