Realistically Watts and Howe wont be dropped.

Out: Green, Benell, Bail, MacDonald

In: Martin, Couch, Tapscott, Blease/Morton/best mid from Casey.

OUT: Green, Macdonald, McKenzie, Sellar, Bennell

IN: Tapscott, Moloney, Morton, Couch, Tynan

Green is gawn; Macdonald is too slow, too short and his disposal is wretched; McKenzie can't dispose of the ball properly and is still not fit enough because of his injury; Sellar only came in to match it with the WCE talls; Bennell has no idea or willingness to get the ball

Tapscott is hard at it; Moloney is still our best midfielder, and as long as he hasn't cracked the sads, and is one of the few senior players who has a shot of taking us forward; Morton is just a hail-mary, hope-he-shows-something selection; and Couch has had some good form of late; and Tynan should never have been dropped.

Is Sylvia a chance of playing next round? If so, then he's straight in, perhaps for Colin Garland, who's been woeful all year.

I saw the first half after the first 15 minutes. Then the bar witch from the west got me dragged for me complaining about her 2 weeks a go. Barman apologised to me again re her, told me he couldn't serve me but let me stay until the boys in blue came an hour later. Barmen asked me if I wanted a beer 10 minutes before the boys turned up. I needed an ATM so He gave me a wink & said, "My shout".

I'm going to take it further next week.

The teams: Green was quiet again I think. McKenzie should be Sub, with his lack of fitness base, although that may put him back further. Maybe your right, he should get fit with Casey, but I can't think of anyone who'd be better.

I'd keep Sellar for height balance & it frees up Frawley to matchup on others tall or small. IMO the Rivers/ JMcDonald/ Garland thing isn't working. TMac looked OK, encouraging.

So, I'd bring in the likes of Morton for run, Davey for run & pace, Martin in, Moloney if fit? Couch for McKenzie, leave Green for one more, Maybe Bail goes out for Tynan, Bennell > Sub:

Not Morton, please. I don't want to see him play again.

Morton is better than half the blokes we have in there at the moment.

At least he has a bit of run and good disposal.

What can you say, has anyone ever heard of f.........manning up. Thats it for me a supporter for 50 years I have nothing left to give

Showing the white feather? I have been a longtime supporter too, but I'm not changing ships now or ever.

We need more VFL players

Well at least in Magners case he just plays footy unlike our overpaid players

I agree we should look further afield the sooner the better

Morton isnt the kind of player we need. We have too many of that kind already.

Just a bit of push and shove from the Tiges. We're yet to see if it will pay off, but it's something the Melbourne players didn't show today when they were getting flogged.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
