Yes drop watts and dawes, bring in ? We don't have any other key forwards, many speak before they think about the alternative

I wouldn't drop Watts, he is a valuable contributor. I would look at Pedersen for Dawes though.

If Dawes gets a game this week then it's in his court, Peders needs to keep the pressure on at Casey.

Dawes has always taken at least two or three games to get his touch back, when he has an injury interrupted period it makes his game stop and start, he has now had two games back, yesterday at training he looked really sharp, hopefully this Friday he will be on all cylinders, at least he has still been crashing and bashing

He really, reallllllly isn't.

Both figuratively and literally.

I hope he is 'TDI', it would help the cause no end if he had a big one on Friday.

I thought his first game back last season was his best, and I didn't think he came close to that game for the rest of the year sadly.

That said, he's a big body in the forward line, he is talented enough to require one of the two best defenders to mark him, and he is providing a foil for Hogan & Watts to snag a couple each which makes the forward line more potent.

So, just to put it clearly, Barrie Vagg was the greatest half forward flanker in the history of the MFC! (Written without even the slightest hint of modesty...)

You're just lucky Mark Jackson didn't play HFF.

disagree.

In the past 2 years Dawes has had injury interrupted preseason but did actually start really well but faded through the year.

Was suspended for one game this year, not injured.

Dawes is important but he hasn't been good enough this last 2 weeks

To nail my colors to the mast, lest i be accused of calling for his head and then being bagged after he stars against the tiges i do not think Dawes should be dropped. That said i'd drop him before dropping Watts

Wacko Jacko was just a crass full forward...!! Didn't have the class nor polish to be allowed anywhere near the HFF! LOL

Now, look here, Ernie!! Just because most of the posters on here are barely out of nappies and wouldn't have the foggiest idea about us great players of the past, it doesn't give you the right to rewrite history! I was CLEARLY far more talented than Bobby, a far better goal kicker, and WAY more important to the team! And, if there's anyone on here who really is so old that they remember us, and disagrees with my comments, then they are obviously suffering from senility!

Now Vaggie just you listen up! Modesty prevented me from replying to this earlier. You, a far better goal kicker than ME? Look at the stats. McKenzie 125 games for 252 goals (av. 2 goals a game). Tunbridge 117 games for 129 goals and you Barrie, 115 games for 132 goals. I was also better looking than you!!!! Good on you mate.

3rd wheel to open and protect space for JH.

Garlett would be our most productive atm.

Fans of a certain inside midfielder with the initials VM will be very happy with the only change to the team this week.

Roos rewarding players that knock down the door as promised, and not just making rash changes from one bad performance.

Well done Viv.

Now, make the most of it.

Happy we didn't go with another tall

    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.
