I hope we don't play Jack Grimes as a tagger. He's about a million times more useful as a third-man up defender playing on medium-to-small forwards like Robbie Gray than he is trying to shut down a dangerous midfielder.

I agree...I don't rate him as a tagger. I'd rather have someone like Riley or Matt Jones tag, and play Grimes on a half back flank.

if monfries is out, i reckon we drop terls for jetta and keep the toump in. if theres no monfries who does terls go to? jetta goes to grey and i reckon garland goes to wingard. Dunn and Tmac can gover shultz and hoff

We need to stop expecting that Jack Watts will have his 'break out game'. I simply want Jack to become a role player. He will impact games due to his excellent disposal and decision making, but the new MFC is 21 players, 21 roles.

Plus the sub, which, ironically, is the clearest role of the lot.

agreed but you have to back Roosy!

Grimes will be probably be the best tagger of all time by the end of the year!

I reckon Grimes will follow Robbie Gray around pretty closely, he's ranked up there with the best few players in the comp at the minute, and i reckon Cross will run with Boak, Viney and Wines go head to head which imo will be awesome to see, and then Vince, Tyson and Jones will just do their thing.

the really big question for me is how do we stop Port from scoring so heavily simply for us to be in the game.

if frawley returns we will have 19/22 first choice players available as dawes, hogan and trengove miss through injury/suspension.

3 pretty big outs but it does make this weeks result even more

Port is rightfully on top of the ladder at the moment and we are still struggling down near the bottom. While we have improved, we are still a far way from beating port. They maybe tired after the bruising encounter with the Hawks, they may have some injuries and they may underestimate us but they are still good enough to beat us. The loss of Dawes is a major blow as he did attack the ball and present, the other major downside is we are coming off a bye, and past history shows we have seldom played well after a bye. A lot of things Roos and the team have to deal with, I am hoping to see them put in and continue to show the improvement and tenacity they have been playing with of late.

Monfries could be a good out for us...

OMG - here we go again.

Lets just play against whoever the can put on the field.

And win.

    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. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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)

    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
