Early I know, but I'm going early.

IN: Green (play off half back, kick out option), Jurrah (High Half Forwad/Deep Forward), Tapscott (same as Green), Watts (CHF)

OUT: Bail (poor couple of weeks), Bate (hasn't shown enough), Fitzpatrick (team balance), Sylvia (needs to find some form)

FB: McDonald, Frawley, Bartram

HB: Green, Rivers, Tapscott

C: Howe, McKenzie, Grimes

HF: Jurrah, Watts, Magner

FF: Garland, Clark, Davey

FOLL: Jamar, Grimes, Jones

INT: Bennell, Morton, Trengove, Petterd

Fitzpatrick goes out purely for team balance. We need some good kickers coming out of defence so I'd like to see both Green and Tapscott playing off the half back line and sharing the kick in roles.

Garland to move forward to provide another marking target and to reduce the damage his poor disposal can cause. Allows both Green & Tapscott to go back.

Bail had 1 tackle! Not good enough for a player like him, while Bate and Sylvia hasven't shown enough so far this season.

Watts and Jurrah to come forward and provide some spark.

Moloney holds his spot just, thanks to 8 tackles.

Was a terrible night tonight. Fire up Demons!!!

Pretty much agree with that except id like to see martin come back in . Clark is clunking everything that comes near him down forward we dont want him rucking up the ground . Davey gotta go as well play sam blease for an extended period and see what he can do .

Jurrahs court hearing is this week if im not mistaken, thurs or friday?

so he might not be on our list come next weekend let alone in the side.. and even if he is on our list, he isnt fit as he said himself

no point in playing watts unless he shows more intensity tomorrow.. whats the point in picking him vs carlton when we are going to get spanked on the back of not doing what he is asked to do in the VFL. Needs to perform in the tacklinf/pressure acts tomorrow

Im not sure who to bring in or drop, but those 2 have a few hurdles to get over first

I could not honestly answer this question (ins) until after the Casey game tommorow but Sylvia and Bail would be certainties to exit and Petterd based on his embarrasing effort tonight should not have got a game.

In Watts, Sheahan, Cook, Taggert, Martin, Jurrah.

Time for some new blood, I con't care how they play tomorrow. All of them can kick the ball with the exception of Martin who is hit or miss. Out with the guys who continually let us down.

Want to wait till tomorrow for the final call but didn't like Clark in the ruck and then booting forward without him down there to mark it. So Fitz stays in (but needs to play in the ruck more than he did - why was he subbed off and the Jamar went to the bench???)

So if Sellar and Martin don't come up Fitz stays. Also with no games in the 2's for 2 weeks Sylvia stays and I expect Jurrah to play in the 3's to get the fitness up.

Out: Bail, Bate, Pettard (you do not touch the ball 0 times in a half).

In: Running mid (Blease/Nicho), Fwd/mid (Green/Couch) and Watts (will be back).

Also will should add Blease and Couch and leave these guys in for a good run.

Wouldn't mind giving Troy Davis another shot. See if he can do as good of a job defensively as McDonald has been doing but dispose of the thing a bit better.

I'm pretty much checking out at the moment. Baby and bath water have gone out the freaking window. Unhappy with the way we play how our better players have regressed and how we seem to be making no progress....

No more blindly tipping money into the club, the wife is getting suspicious and I am coming home angry, no upside

Statement time Neeld;

Out: Moloney, Sylvia, Petterd

In: Couch, Blease, Jurrah

There are many others that could go out, but reality is we don't have players to replace them with. But one thing is for sure, dropping those 3 players (especially the first 2) is making a statement.

Bate should play full game. He's better than Bennell.

Out: everyone except Mitch Clark

In: a time machine to grab the following 'stars'

B: Nettlebeck - Carroll - Bode

HB: Bell - Ferguson - Collins

C: Obst - Fisher - Kowal

HF: M Febey - Molan - Pickett

F: Hunter - Clark - Rogers

R: Irving - Turley - Valenti

I: Ottens - Hopgood - Armstrong - Grgic

Sadly that team would beat our current lot of spudleys.

Couch is ill.....Will not play today.....Nicholson is a ROOKIE ....Can't play AFL untill put on senior list

Fitzpatrick has to go. No idea who thought he was ready for AFL football. Clearly isn't.

Petterd was rubbish, Sylvia isn't working hard enough, Bennell didn't show any improvement, Bail had a second bad game in a row (I'm still inclined to keep him in the side though), so there are plenty of options.

Jurrah and Watts surely have to be considered.

Bate has been ok. Not great but half reasonable. If Stef martin gets a call up again im gonna crack it.

    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

    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.
