I hope Clisby doesn't become the James Magner of this year..

Very stiff...

Pardon my off season ignorance, but what happened to Magner again?

Neeld and Co didn't rate him, and apparently neither did anyone else in the competition.

Ripped it up in the VFL week after week (had 53 touches one week) but for some reason was always overlooked in team selections. Currently playing for Port Melbourne I think.

We've got this! We'll get home by 14 points in a tough, close fought game. Watts will shine brightly,

Dawes will continue to marshall the forward 50 and Chip will dominate the GC backmen. Our midfield will have a battle but will come out on top.

Hallelujah - our journey out of the wilderness has begun.

bit early in the season to play nostradamus dd36

On the other hand, you don't want to wait too long before playing Nostradamus.

Of the seven named on the interchange Kennedy-Harris, Matt Jones and Kent are not named for Casey so unless someone doesn't come up due to injury it looks like one of Evans, Fitzpatrick, Jetta and Toumpas will fill the last spot.

Yes I saw that - I think it will be:

Out: Evans

In: Jetta

If we brought Fitzy in then Dunn could go back to the backline and Fitzy could play that forward/relief ruckman for Spencer (better than Pedo). You would assume Fitzy would play better with the third tall (behind Frawley and Dawes) but I don't know if he has deserved a call up yet (not at the expense of JKH, Jones or Kent).

If Terlich doesn't come up after training this morning. Jetta will be in.

I reckon JKH could be the perennial Sub until he builds a tank.

We may be in a better place with GCS than last year

The Demons also have former Suns development coach Ben Mathews on the coaching staff, which McKenna expects to help shed some light on Gold Coast’s players.

agree with this.

we may be on the same wave length, i thinking we should win our next 5 games and start our push towards 8th place.

the big question with such a topsy turvy year,is who we will play in the elimination final.

Richmond or Calton obviously.

Dean Kent apparently hurt himself at training today.

Could be a late out?

Fitzpatrick's inclusion in the 25-man squad. Wasn't emergency last week, and in Brett Allison's report, he says "Jack contested well, but I’d like to see him contest more in the air and get the ball to ground level, so that the smalls can get to work, if he doesn't mark it." Which was exactly the problem with him, so he is not being included because of form...

Hope it's just a precaution

I also thought that Fitzpatrick's inclusion was a pretty big surprise given his form hasn't been great.

I don't necessarily think it means there's an issue with Dawes, it might just be in case of an emergency (which is I guess why they're called emergencies). Could also be someone other than Dawes, too.

I just remember reading Dawes say he pulled up "very bloody sore" (can't remember which article it was).

Let's face it, it's probably just another case of MFCSS

    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.

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
