In varying degrees, this includes Toumpas, Viney, Salem, Kent, JKH, Hogan, Watts, Howe, and even Tyson to take it to yet another level. At least 4 or 5 of these guys need have big breakout years IMO.

I've forgotten what they actually are?

Who has had one for us?

You could argue Tyson, but he was always good i feel, but hampered by injury.

Kent, to an extent at the end. Jetta, showed he wasn't complete poo. Hmmmm.

Time for, Watts and co. to "stand out".

2015 Comes down to whether Viney, Tyson, Salem, Hogan, Watts, Howe, Jones, Vince can all improve again and play the full year. We are still very thin for high end talent and need these guys to really stand up. Can't see us finishing out of the bottom 3 which should give us currency for a free agent next year and a solid draft pick. The next 2 drafts are crucial. If we don't get 2 200 game A graders with picks 2 and 3 this year we're screwed. We simply don't have enough talent.

Until the likes of McKenzie, Terlich, Jones, Evans, Grimes and co are off the list we will struggle to beat any decent in form opposition.

I agree with most of your 22, but reckon one of Fitz or Pederson will be on the bench in place of Michie. Jamar is too old to play 100% game time. I also reckon by round 11 2015 Jamar will have lost his spot to Gawn.

What this does show is that we need to build quality midfield depth for at least the next 2 seasons.

Honestly?

I think the team on paper is weaker now than it was 12 months ago. Didn't think that was possible.

Of course, if you include a fit Clark.

In reality, it's just Chip the forward out and Lumumba, Garlett and Frost in.

Have to agree with that assessment.

It was said to be a three year project to get these guys up to fitness.

Now is time to produce.

Good depth of ball winning mids.

Grimes is the big out. Really needs to improve his kicking. Suspect he will be in Roosy's best 22.

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

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)

    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
