I wanted Toumpas to have at least a month, but he can't play next week.

Bail and M.Jones should be forgotten.

Stretch to go back to Casey, not ready.

Howe dropped or at best made the sub.

Jones (M) was okay. Would rather drop Tyson.

It's a tough one because the following players all need to be dropped/given a spell. I've also included Salem (injured).

Salem (inj)

Toumpas (forget the draft number guys, he's not up to it)

Stretch (not up to it yet)

Dawes (poor form)

Bail (not up to it)

M. Jones (not up to it)

Brayshaw (needs a rest)

Spencer (not up to it)

That's 8 players. You can't make 8 changes. And we don't have 8 genuine options to come back anyway.

Worrying signs.

Dawes should be the first one dropped

Gave the Hawks ammo during the week with his stupid comments and then serves up this [censored]

Hes a dud anyway, always has been

Pedo is twice the player

Dawes has got to go. Pedersen is miles ahead of him.

I agree except Brayshaw, he's probably in our top 5 for effort.

Also add Howe - doesn't give a fuxk

This.

Would anyone be against putting Dawes up for trade come years end?

It's a joke that a kid who has only played 6 games is already so much more of a better player than he is. Whilst Pedersen is a late call up and has done more in a single game than Dawes has all year.

Sadly our lack of depth (and injuries to many of our best 22 - no excuse for the depths of insipidness today) will prevent as many changes as their should be. Edited by monoccular

EDIT: Forgot about Salem injury.

Actually agree with all of these. Axe needs to be swung.

Howe has checked out. He can go.

Wanted Toump to get a run at it but he's not even remotely close to competing at this level.

So like Frawley last year, doesn't even show the self pride to disguise it. Edited by monoccular

Not really - the problem is, who would take him?

Neeld signed some magnificent contracts.

Dawes and Clark were just awesome.

We all thought it was the coup of the trade fortnight.

See even us geniuses can be wrong sometimes.

We haven't genuinely improved for 9 years, does it really make any difference what players we swap week to week now?

Howe must have an offer on the table for next season because he isn't playing like a player showcasing their talents for a new contract. He needs to find form or pull on a scorps jumper.

Jetta has been sorely missed, and Salem getting hurt is a huge blow. There just isn't enough talent burning up the vfl for spots to allow the axe to be swung like it should be.

Howe's total stats for the past 2 weeks

8 kicks

3 marks

2 tackles

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
