29 in the squad. Up to 26 to play I believe.

No Trengove, Petracca, Howe, Vince, Neal-Bullen and unlikely King.

That means 38 left on the list. 12 of whom will miss.

I'd suggest Watts probably misses as well, that takes it back to 11.

Best 26 at the moment is probably:

FB: Jetta Frost Dunn

HB: Garland McDonald Salem

C: Lumumba Jones Jones

HF: Kent Dawes JKH

FF: Garlett Hogan Pedersen

Foll: Jamar Tyson Cross

Int: Gawn Viney Grimes Michie Newton Toumpas

S: Stretch Riley

Unlucky: McKenzie, Brayshaw, Terlich, Fitzy, Spencer, White, Vandenberg, Harmes, Hunt, Oscar Mc, Bail

From that list I'd be keen to see Fitzy, Vandenberg and Bail play as they might be round 1 options, so if there are other injuries or senior players rested then get them in.

It's not surprising. We can't do a Hawthorn and rest half the list in the knowledge we are already ahead of most of the pack. We need to get our guys out there and playing to get off to as good of a start as we can, which I'm hoping we can do!

I was hoping the club would follow this approach. The very last thing we need is to be belted by Freo in a meaningless game.

We don't need to give young players a run, we have a good supply of hardened bodies that we have imported. And Roos refuses to "burn" junior talent so that he can be sure

they are fully ready for the rigours of the season proper.

Our supporters need something to hope for and have confidence that the coming season will see improvement all round.

Hate to be the one to say it, but the flip side is the risk of getting beaten by Freo's second stringers...

Practice match or not, you'd want a respectable performance from a full strength side.

Glad to see the AFL have done a u-turn on this issue.

The admin has shown that nothing has changed and they don't give a flying about fans when they tried to stop such streams as "they would not be the quality that our fans have come to expect". They were happier for us to have nothing.

Obviously the public backlash has been strong enough to make the sods change their stance on this.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
