God point re Harry Alias - I wonder who wold be best suited to keep him accountable.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Cross. Roos has used him to go with outside runners like Polec and McCrae, he seems to like to stop the points of distribution and not necessarily at the engine room.

Many might be aware I am surrounded by Filth. The Wife, 3 very good mates, 90% of wifes family.., and its typically Mic huge lol are all demented. Going into tomorrows game something has changed. There's no forward pity. No derision. Some ( the decent ones ) have wished us well and look forward to a good game ( for a change lol ) Some seem genuinely concerned.

One constant ...no one is laughing at me any more. Thankyou Paul ,George, Jade et al Thankyou Players.

The wife doesnt want to watch the game . Rather do house work apparently. Im stuck at home doing renovations but at 3.00pm I will down tools, telly on, raise a beer and enjoy come what may.

Wish I was going but some peace must be kept with SWMBO ( sometimes...gotta pick ya moments huh )

Go Dees

My husband is already making excuses - ha! This person's out, that person is out......... He is genuinely worried. He has however chosen to dump me for game and going with a fellow Collingwood supporter (his son).

That's grounds for a divorce jane in that your husband goes for collywobbles.

The shame, the shame!!

Spot on Ox! Further Jane, you should kick your son out of the household!

Oh - he's not my son. No blood relative of mine would follow the Pies. He's my stepson so I am not responsible for his poor life choices!

Fair point Jane. You can however, make his life miserable. In fact, as a Dees supporter, it is your responsibility to do this.

Will be thinking of you, BB. Wise choice, no matter what the result is tomorrow.

Here's what should happen imo

Cross-Young (Don't want his kicks feeding the forward line)

Jones-Pendlebury

Dom will get tagged by Macaffer, hopefully he can shrug it

Riley is who we need. We need to hurt them and for four quarters. Its the only way to beat these flogs. They are so full of themselves they're likely not to even know who Riley is.

Jane I really think you should have thought about the holistic situation before you committed to this marriage. Yes he is your stepson and you are not responsible for his poor life choices but really you should have demanded a conversion to the MFC as part of the nuptial agreement. I am not a zealot just a realist Jane!

One other thing Jane does your hubby and stepson have their own teeth??

Their small players are the ones that will be the problem for us....

Elliot, Fasolo, Blair....

At least one of their smaller brigade always kills us.

Surprised Gawn survived the cut as I reckon he's the worst player in the squad- at the moment.

I don't subscribe to the theory of 'stretching their defence' because as soon as the tall blokes drop marks, the opposition invariably clear it out more often than not.

Having said that I'll leave it to Roos who's selections this year have been very good.

Yep, Gawn doesn't offer much up forward other than a massive unit - he isn't quick on the lead, not outstanding in the marking contest (see his last 2 games), not a great kick for goal, pretty poor contesting on the deck, and even in the ruck doesn't give us a huge amount around the ground. With Dawes back I would think a forward line of Dawes, Fraaley, Pedersen with Pedo chopping out for Jamar in the ruck would be adequate. We need runners and while Toumpas may not be that I would've kept either him or Riley as the sub.

Salem to be the sub and come on fresh late in quarter 3, replacing Gawn. Big Jamar can be nicely rested having shared the ruck and we run harder in the last. Go Dees.

I like your thinking.

Just touched down in Melbourne and I'm bloody pumped. Massive chance today, good test for our midfield, break even or better there and the game is ours for the taking.

Ha ha - they do. They both are not your typical Pie supporter. My husband has a Melbourne membership that I dutifully buy him each Christmas!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
