The selection from week to week under Roos just baffles me. All I do know is that Howe and Bail DO NOT deserve their spot in the senior team. A couple of speccies in my opinion does not make an AFL player. The problem our club continues to have is players who are bad decision makers, and devoid of effort and consistency. It's 2015 FFS we watch this putrid nonsense every year.

In - anyone who has a football brain, that will help.

It's the old story, you pick a few guys that probably aren't quite up to it, They play well, and you think.... Gee they played well last week and deserve a game

I know we are playing Port and I think I would like to play this side ( The ones which should have played ) But sheeesh these "Fringees played so well!

How can I drop them?

That's my thinking!

Out: titanic deckchairs

In: the same titanic deckchairs that were swapped out a week ago

Seriously though, Newton surely comes back in, we need his 1 goal a week if we want to have a chance of breaking 50 points.

IN: Dawes, Newton, Riley, Tyson

OUT: Bail, Howe, M. Jones, Watts

FB: Fitzpatrick, Dunn, Jetta

HB: Garland, T. McDonald, Lumumba

C: Toumpas, Vince, Tyson

HF: Vandenberg, Hogan, Brayshaw

FF: Pedersen, Dawes, Garlett

FOLL: Spencer, Cross, N. Jones

INT: Grimes, Newton, Viney

SUB: Riley

EMERG: Gawn, Harmes, Michie

Team there does lack a little run, but if we can turn the game into an arm wrestle we may be ok.

Roos: "Now its time for the easiest part of any coach's job. The cuts.

Although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you.

Bail is cut. Howey is cut. Matty Jones, you're gone. Fitzy, I like your hustle. (Fitzy smiles) That's why it was so hard to cut you. (Fitzy frowns)

Congratulations, the rest of you made the team! (random sighs of relief) Except you and you (points to Watts and Toumpas)"

This is quite possibly the funniest post on here!!!!

Would have thought M Jones, Bail, Fitzpatrick, Howe, Watts and (IMO, anyway) Dunn ought to be the candidates to be dropped.

They won't all go, and part of it will depend on who comes in. I'd suggest Tyson, Riley, Newton and maybe Michie are in the frame.

Match committee needs to do a better job of matching us up against Collingwood; keeping Fitzpatrick in despite no Ryder was a bad move.

Out M Jones and Bail

In Tyson and pigdog.

Seriously, I don't care that they do a defensive job, we need more attacking options, our backline normally does a decent job, but when your two half forwards are crap with ball in hand when they get it or can't tackle a player already on the ground without giving away frees they need to go.

They offer this club nothing for its future unless our future is to stay a pathetic cellar dwelling club...

If that's the case, bring Terlich back too.

I'd even consider Fitzy for another mid like ANB or Stretch which means Dunn plays on white.

I cannot believe that the Hun had Dunn amongst the best players (and no mention of Hogan)!

Put your hands up if you think we will be turning over a minimum of 8 players this offseason?

Need more run and speed. Need more clearances and ball winners. Michie rewarded for good VFL form.

How do we match up against Collingwood? I would assume McDonald will take Cloke, who takes White - Dunn? Garland? And if Witts/Grundy rest forward, do we need a third tall defender (i.e. Fitzy)?

Fitzy wasn't necessary against Port and shouldn't have played, but if we need him against Collingwood maybe he'll stay.

Midfield-wise, I'd be astounded if we don't see at least two of Tyson, Riley, Newton and Michie in the side.

Jeez, that says something, considering it's basically taken word-for-word from BigFooty.

So do you want his attitude to rub off on potential footballers?

One would hope it would be the other way around.

Hopefully they give Michie a go and keep him in more than 1 game. Probably put him on Pendlebury (after getting Fyffe and Mitchell in his last two games)

Ok

1 We didn't play a horses for courses team this week, Fitzpatrick surplus to needs as Rider didn't play X

2 We went with and hope Viney and Jetta can regain form and not be fatigued because of layoff's X

3 We played Bail and Jones on the basis of there games last week, but given the much better midfield this week we needed to play both of Riley and Newton but Roosy went with the ol "Deserved a game mantra" Instead of hard nosed relentless selection based on MATCH UPS X

Do you get it now??

If not then maybe you can provide some "Informed" analysis?

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

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
