When you look at our list it is important that our better players, the ones most likely for round 1 play as much together as possible. Hopefully we have three fit tall forwards back and with a couple of midfielders.

I would like to see our line up

Strauss Frawley Dunn

Grimes McDonald Terlich

Trengove N Jones Watts

Vince Fitzpatrick Howe

JkH Dawes Hogan

Spencer Tyson Michie

Cross, Viney, Toumpas, Kent, Gawn, Pederson

Definitely. I'm just talking round 1 and not planning on Clark until he's back on track.

By the way it's so good Fox are doing all these nab challenge games. No way in the past that Melb v Geel in Alice gets on TV. We'd be lucky to get single camera coverage like the port game last year

Eighteen games in 18 days means there isn't an option

Due to now being Foxless (money on other priorities, now I am joining the many thousands being told you are a great worker but goodbye)......has anybody ever been to the Sports Bar at Crown to watch a game and if so, is it a good place to watch?

!8 games in 18 days is Fox driven anyway

Sorry to hear that.

This 18 games is 18 days IMO will be a success, just like the big bash was a success.

I think we'll end up seeing football regularly played on Monday and Thursday - possibly even one of Tues or Wed.

I have been to the sportsbar at Crown to punt on the GG's - it is a great environment, If I lived in the city I'd head there to watch the footy, regardless of having it at home.

You have my sympathy Saty.

My Daughter and Son in law both work for Qantas and they are [censored] blue lights at present.

It is very debilitating.

My son's partner is a 20 year employee with Qantas and he's doing exactly the same.

I have never experienced anything like the magnitude that is happening this year Robbie.

It is really sad and particularly the uncertainty.

My daughter was going to buy a new car this month.

That is out the window. Current one will have to do.

Some of the best commentary I've heard in years on that game.

I think its either Georgiou or Strauss and georgiou has shown he can beat his man, i dont care how good a kick strauss is if he cant beat his man as a back man.

Georgiou has played 1 NAB challenge game against a very poor Richmond team. I don't think we have really seen enough of Georgiou to place him ahead of any other defender on our list just yet, especially one of Strauss' quality.

Nobody can say how anyone will go this year, or next week for that matter .

But Georgiou has done all that has been asked of him so far - sure only one game but also only one opportunity.

Hopefully by Round 1 Georgiou will have played three matches against last year's final 8 teams. I suspect that he will earn an upgrade but if he doesn't it augers well for the Club to think that Strauss or others have improved sufficiently to be selected ahead of him.

If the federal government bails out Qantas, the proviso must be set that they sack their muppet CEO...the guy's an unmitigated disaster!!

The Qantas version of Mark Neeld. Talks tough, makes poor decisions, ruins morale and is probably out of his depth

this is the problem of the stock market & companies sold down to a public company. for a few years at first, private is good, but not for too much after those initial years.

trains, electricity supplies, pretty soon our imported cars, & Oil refinement, etc, etc, etc, duopolies of supermarket chains,

globalisation is going to crush our standards of living, within 10 Yrs.

He's the puppet. it s the board members telling him what to do. hiding behind the scenes.

but your right he is, a muppet puppet.

Public or private, whichever political party you like, I can't help thinking how dumb we've become. We have so much good farming land and so many precious metals in the ground we should be able to have good paying jobs for 10 million people (even though we don't have that many needing them) farming food, mining and most importantly then making those food ingredients in to products and making those minerals and metals in to something. The rest of us can then all have jobs being the teachers, nurses, accountants, media, footballers whatever. And we should be able to do it all with free trade in place. Anyway that's all off topic.

Back on topic what's everyone expecting from the crowd on Friday? Attendance number? Loud? Big demon contingent in Alice? Will the great man Liam Jurrah be in attendance (is he locked up at the moment?).

On a similar note given that it's still a practice match it's probably worth it to include Dom Barry in the team as a local boy. It might get us a bit more interest and he'd probably be keen to play and do well anyway. We have to be more ruthless and less sentimental as a club but nothing wrong with the occasional pragmatic decision in selection.

We need to find a ruckman who doesn't put us one man down in the midfield. Unfortunately our current crop do, Clark being the exception but more likely to play forward with some time on ball as Roos has flagged when he gets back.

I don't think this applies to a fit Gawn. He has shown in some games an admirable intensity around the ground, and in a good mark in general play (especially up forward) and is not a bad kick for someone so big. Personally if he can keep on the park I think he is by far our best option, and will only get better with experience.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

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
