If you want a clearer idea on what Paul Roos thinks of his new players, here's a link to an article that Paul Roos wrote in the Herald Sun on August 2 in which he picked his likely team with plenty of blanks.

The team is good news for Blease fans and even better news for the vast majority of Dunny-bashers.

No room for Terlich or Matt Jones and Grimes is correctly listed as a defender.

Watts features but worryingly is placed on a wing!

You can probably also figure out why Davey retired.

Why Melbourne can turn it around sooner than you think

MELBOURNE

B: Frawley Garland
HB: Grimes McDonald
C: Blease? Jones Watts
HF:Sylvia Dawes Hogan
F: Clark Howe
R:J amar? Trengrove Viney
I/C: Fitzpatrick?

I think you overstate your case by saying "no room for Terlich or Matt Jones".... plenty of room, just not in his best 15, at the time he made the call.

Deespicable, you were able to search the archives to come up with an August the 2nd newspaper article in which Roos lists his Dees team, yet was unable to scroll a few centimetres down the page where he could have found this??:

Sorry Hradtack and applogies to the original creater Plug the Magician. Can Plug now combine the two threads magically.

Regardless the article became even more pertinent today!

That's Paul La Roos... a distant relation to Danny La Rue.

I don't see daisy or Rory Sloane in that midfield...

I just cant wait to see what he does with watts, Howe and a few others - where will they play.

Anyone else wonder whether despite turning into a tidy player, Fitz might be up for trade? the doggies might be keen. I love the Fitz don't get me wrong but if Roos decides Watts is a forward then we already have too many talls.

I just have this nagging feeling that just perhaps we might not see Sellar or Gillies in this side? Probably a wild thought

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
