Why this week? Why not last week as soon as Grimes went down? He must've had a great week on the track, I guess he'll be in v Richmond.

Very deserving of the Upgrade! all demons fans can ask for is that blokes earn the guernsey through hard work and this bloke has done it, now he just needs to make the most of the opportunity.

Knowing us, we'll play him as sub this week, he'll come on in the last quarter when we're 100 down and he'll get 10 touches and 5 clearances.

... and dropped to the VFL to find form!!!

I hope some tackles stick this week.

Magner will make no difference I don't know why some people here worship him. Magner is very one paced with ordinary disposal skills. He isn't apart of our long term future, just another list clogger.

Possibly, but at least he's a player that'll get in and have a go - more than what most of our regular players show each week.

I think the point is that he has been playing well at the VFL this year and has earned the chance to play at AFL level.

I reckon most people would know he's not the messiah, but lets give him a go.

Precisely. A ray of light for this weekend. Thank god.

That will be up to him, i suspect he will attack the ball at 100 miles and hour and have a real dip, hopefully this inspires a few of his team mates to do the same.

FINALLY, I can tick something off my list

What I want this round:

  1. Magner to be elevated to list
  2. Watts to play forward
  3. Tackles
  4. Tackles
  5. Hot chicks
  6. Melbourne to win
  7. Tackles
  8. Get some contested marks
  9. Howe AFL mark of the year nomination
  10. Tackles

Which makes the fact that he was our best player in the first 4 rounds last season all the more sobering

Sorry Tapscott, forgot ya buddy - go get em

So he should fit in with the rest of the team.

There was no point elevating him until they were going to actually select him. He could have played last week, I agree. I suspect he has been elevated now in response to Sylvia's suspension in the recognition that we need another bigger body after being brushed aside by the intimidating Suns last week.

Ease up !!! We still don't have a game plan and Neeld is still there..Adrenalin or emotion ???? Could be a very small start.... GO DEES !!! Just saying lol :):blink:

Exactly!

That's the one and only reason why I wanted him elevated. It's called work rate. Something most of our starting 22 lack.

And distressing in respect of a coach getting the best out of the other players who were awful.

It's bad news on Grimes though. He's out for another 8 weeks as I think that's the minimum for LTI unless there is some transfer arrangement for the mid season promotion.

    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.

    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
