I'm running with Pederson and Ray arrvijng sometime this week.

The first thing you notice is how much bigger and more imposing the side will look. This is not a team that will be pushed aside easily.

All that's lacking is a little line-breaking and forward crumbing class. Hopefully Barry can show something here and maybe we can even unearth something in the draft.

Davey, Tapscott, Jetta, Bail, Bennel, Pettered.

Davey, Tapscott, Jetta, Bail, Bennel, Pettered.

Davey - past it

Tapscott - Hold high hopes but he's definitely not a speedster

Jetta - Not quick, not a natural goalkicker

Bail - Battler

Petterd - Probable delisting

Bennell - Bennell

We just have so many players that haven't developed.

Nicholson has pace but no class. Strauss is a better footballer.

Davey will have a comeback year. Has been a super classy player.

It does look like a good team, but I think your Backline is far too tall, even though Garland can play small I don't see Frawley, TMac, Watts, Garland and Pedersen all in the backline at once, its a bit top heavy, plus I think Pedersen would far more likely be playing forward. Here;s my suggestion.

Assuming we get the wishlist in Pedersen and Ray (which is unfortunately looking increasingly unlikely)

FB- Nicholson - Frawley - Garland

HB- Watts - T MacDonald- Ray

C- Blease - Jones - Sylvia

HF- Howe - Dawes - Tapscott

FF- Pedersen - Clark - Byrnes

FOL- Jamar - Trengove - Grimes

int- Viney - Wines - Mckensie - Davey (If he can rotate between HBF and Small Forward)

(I want Davey in that team and in form I think he will be, also I want Wines and Viney to play round one but it is difficult to get them all in, Taggert will also get his chance so there will be a bit of competition for midfield spots this year)

I know the premise of the OP is best 22 but surely we can't select a side with only an aging, slowing and increasingly injury prone Russian as the sole ruckman, with occasional chop outs from Dawes or Clark? What happens when he goes down?

I assume you mean Tom Mcdonald and not Joel M'a'cdonald?

Taggert in the forward pocket of our best 22 is definitely 'a roughie'. Also, no Sylvia but Morton, Dunn and two first years get a gig ahead of him?

The one inclusion I am enjoying is Wines, assume we have somebody from the recruiting department on this board, so it is a given we are going to get him.....Pedersen is not a given now either once the Roos offloaded McIntosh

Excited that we finally have some tall timber down in the forward line.

R: Jamar - Jones - Sylvia

I: Rodan - Bail - Viney

S: Jetta

E: Gawn - Strauss - Bartram - MacDonald - Tapscott - Jordie - Sellar - Petterd - Tynan - Taggert - Fitz

Bold = Could easily play in the 22

Underlined: If fit, is in 22

Gysberts wasn't even going to be bold, and Morton wouldnt even be in the Emergency list.

Happy

No love for Magner? Whilst this isnt looking ANYTHING like a finals team let alone a premiership team, its good to see some "depth" with form and injury dictating who plays out of Magner, Nicholson, Dunn, Jetta, Sellar, Pederson, Macdonald

    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

    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.
