Let's just hope some of these fringe players decide to get desperate rather than fill their shorts once the siren goes

11 games to go. We better win a 3-4 at least

Looks like Ro Bail and Mckenzie r gone if they can't get in ahead of Terlich

were not playing finals this year...I know...a shock to some ..:(

footy dept still want to look at some and give others a look see as well

Logic suggest Tyson a cert..Intrigue suggests ANB...raffle the last

Just a reminder of our injuries:

Salem, Kent, JKH, Frost, Dawes, vandenBerg, Garland. All of them besides Dawes and JKH have to be in our best 22.

That's after significant time without Tyson, Viney and Jetta. Throw in long term injuries to Trengove and 'Trac. Brutal season so far.

It's even worse when you consider how long the durations of each injury have been. Have we had anything under a month?

Salem will be 8 weeks.

Frost has been 6-8 weeks from returning for over a month.

Kent will be out for 10+ total?

Final bench: Grimes, Michie, Neal-Bullen and Riley for mine based on that extended bench.

Tyson is named in the 18 so is definitely playing.

Terlich Neal-Bullen Newton Stretch Grimes Spencer Michie

All named in the Dees squad for i/c options but also in starting 22 for Casey who play on Saturday so we will know early who will get a run on Sunday.

BB are you inferring a return of MFC "not tanking" behaviour? Not selecting the best team available I mean.

Wow a lot of negativity before a game. I will wait till we lose. I must admit I'm not confident but this is a very important game for both clubs. It would be good to get bragging rights over the Saints. I'd love to see us win this game and finish above the Saints. I really want to see us beat up Essendon and then see Hird get the sack! If we finish above the Saints, Essendon and obviously Carlton that isn't a bad result. We've been the worst team out of Victoria for far too long.

I think Stretch is ready to have a go again, I watched the second qtr of last weeks Casaey game and he was excellent, very classy.

Go Dees

Roos suggested the Business wouldn't be getting a look-in if not for all the injuries and should spend more time at Casey to build his fitness and form after coming back from injury.

Riley, Grimes and Michie or Stretch to raffle the sub for mine.

Grimes 5th again on extended bench, despite all our injuries. Not part of midfield rotations. Possibly all over.

They are listed in number order.

I don't think Newton and M.Jones were that bad to be banished from the 25, honestly. Seems Roos is just into experimenting and rotating guys this year

Most of the ins/outs would be just that (experimenting) apart from injury issues I would think JRS. Its not like they are stellar performers busting their way back in or huge losses if ommitted (eg, Newton/Jones).

Its only fair that fringe players be given a decent shot at a career in AFL before the potential axe is swung at season's end. We arent playing finals either so Roos can mix it up for the remainder of the season while no doubt also trying to avoid a major blow out resulting in even less confidence amongst the keepers.

If Terlich plays I reckon it will be on a forward flank with instructions to tackle anything that moves. Garlett to follow him around looking to pick up crumbs.

Hickey is out so i wouldn't think we'd play two ruckmen.

Perhaps we are being proactive for a change instead of reactive - playing one more tall than them, and stretching them, rather than waiting to see what they do and follow.

Just saying.

Should have bought one four years ago in that case. Haven't won at Etihad the last 20 games.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
