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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
