anyone who doesnt have someone like Wines, Viney or Brynes in there team is kidding themselves. My team doesnt have Pederson because im not sold we are getting him.

Neeld will also play Barry because every team needs a speadster (aborigional)

ATM you're kidding yourself if you currently have Wines in your side. Nothing confirmed...

was just reading your post HT when rudely interrupted by a guy on the phone asking me if I would like my selected Wines discounted and delivered.

I take that as an omen that we have got him.

Or that I am mental for drawing a link between the two.

Or that you're a drunk.

That's hardly in question Sloonie ,

but in the morning I shall be sober!

Tapscott Frawley Garland

Watts McDonald Strauss

Trengrove Grimes Howe

Blease Clark Sylvia

Gawn Dawes Byrnes

Rucks: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Int: Bail Wines Viney Sub: Davey

Emerg: Magner Nicholson Barry Taggart Jetta

We are getting more games in players.. We are going slowly getting better..

Can't wait for players like Watts, Tappy, Trenners, Strauss, Blease, Grimes to get more game together..

We are not far off it all coming together..

I'd like to add Ray and Gumbleton to that team..

IMO Gumby could be an absolute steal if we could get him.. I'm off Pederson

Viney and Wines could potentially destroy the competition if we get them together..

I cant believe people are putting Gawn down as a round 1 starter?

Lets be realistic, he has not played much footy in the last 3 years and is still a monster young ruck. Lets be happy if he can just play a full year at any level and hopefully pop up for a few AFL games to build his experience

Wines is going to hopefully if GWS dont snare him be the best player for pick 3 we can get.

If we pick him up, it would be crazy not to develop him and give the boy as much gametime as possible..

Rucks: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Int: Trengove, Pederson Viney Sub: Wines

Emerg: Petterd Taggert Bennell

Notes:

Tapscott needs to trim down a bit of his bulk and gain some pace

Watts needs to add muscle/bulk and not do as much running this pre-season. Lock him in the gym.

Petterd I'd like to see bulk up a little also, become more powerful - more like Stevie J

Sylvia to have an uninterupted pre-season...please

Howe, Sheahan, McKenzie, MacDonald and Bennell to bulk up and become more powerful and confident

Quite optimistic about both Sheahan and Barry who I think will play 6-8 games each this year.

Also keen to see Williams get a game.

Really worried about Bail's kicking still. Love him, but his kicking kills me.

Sadly I don't think Martin will be with us in 2013, nor Morton. If only he pulled his finger out and smashed the gym.

One thing that Howe definitely isn't lacking is confidence :)

Don't usually do these but I'm bored so here we go:

FF Byrnes Clark Pederson

HF Howe Dawes Davey

C Trengove Jones Tynan

HB Grimes McDonald Watts

FB Nicholson Frawley Garland

R Jamar Sylvia McKenzie

I/c Viney, Blease, Evans, Taggert (sub)

This is probably more the players I want to see out there but yeah...

Taggert's a very good call. Have seen the boy play once and that was enough for me.

Evan's is the only surprise.

Good team!

Yeah really looking forward to seeing Taggert playing in the seniors. I think Evans will be a player and like the way he goes about it.

Regard Jetta, Dunn, MacDonald and Sellar as depth.

Aaron Davey has been a true blue'n'red warrior for the Dees, but he looks better in his suit up in the Betty Cuthbert Pavilion on match day than he does on the half-forward flank in 2013.

Just blind hope that he'll return to form I guess.

My team given the current state of our list, assuming we take Wines at 4. Obviously we may get Pedersen and another mid, and may lose Martin.

Back half a little top heavy for mine, but I think that's how we'll line up with Watts, Dunn and Garland all capable of playing small. McKenzie lucky to get a game, but gets a job as a defensive midfielder. Forward line looks much improved with Dawes and Byrnes in there.

thx pass

Davey did give the impression of running on the spot this year. Don't rule out a revival. Davey type will thrive on "coming to ground ball" via Dawes/Mitch. Still working on my team .

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.

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.
