Possible ins and outs for me, on a like for like (or at least similar roles/positions) basis ...

Green vs Sylvia (Sylvia has had a few games back and shown nothing, he needs to be dropped. Such a shame he won't have a chance to play in the VFL.)

Martin vs Fitzpatrick (No brainer, if fit)

Jurrah vs Petterd (I'd pick Jurrah as the designated sub-off, and move Petterd to sub, to give him another small chance to show something after last week's poor showing.)

Watts vs Bail (We need Bail's run. Notice that our form has mirrored his form over the last month. He provides us what we need; run! He has runs on the board from a few weeks ago, and should have another chance. Also, with Clarke and Howe in good form, and Jurrah back, we can live without Watts up forward for now.)

Blease vs Bennell (I'd give Bennell another chance, we desperately need run and carry through half back and the middle, and he was showing this recently at VFL level. He needs to get his AFL confidence back. That said, Blease will give us run and carry too. We will definitely look a better side if one or both of these guys can find form and confidence.)

So Clarke to do backup ruckwork? Not great.

Also, a bit harsh on Bate, I think, whilst leaving Sylvia in!

i reakon sylvia would have been told perforn this week or your out

What about Bennell? Ugh!

Have to keep Bennell in for a few weeks imo. He's still a potential player in my book and a player with pace which we lack. Selecting him one week dropping him the next is counterproductive. Its not like ANYONE bar Clarke and jones is playing that well at the mo . Whether by game plan, confidence or talent, Bennell is far from on his own. Give him a few weeks.

Couldn't be much happier with those changes.

Three disposals against WC and 4 last week speaks for itself. Pace and skill mean nothing with no ball in hand. He tackles feebly.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
