What rubbish is that! Bail in the guts and Hogan on the interchange? I doubt Bail is a definite starting 18 in preference to the seven listed on the extended interchange!

Keep the opposition guessing. :roos:

I like it. We should take it a step further and drop Vince and NJones to bring in McKenzie and Terlich - they'll never see that coming

It's a Wednesday squad. Since squads aren't even released officially until Thursday evening, presumably it's just one someone completely made up. Someone who doesn't watch a heap of MFC, I'd say.

I reckon the whole 'too tall' dilemma will be solved by not selecting Hogan.

Just reckon they'll rest him another week and have him cherry ripe for our upcoming 5 game campaign at the MCG.

In- Garland

Out- Riley

Hogan is flying from Perth to Darwin to join the team. He isn't going all the way up there just to see crocodiles.

If he's ready, he's ready, if he's not, he's not.

They certainly won't be "resting" him.

The irony of someone who thinks themselves humorous missing the humor in a response about a lack of humor....

Must have missed it.

Worried about us going in too tall. It worked at the Cattery in perfect conditions, but a night game in Darwin will be played in slippery conditions that aren't conducive to taller players. Happy to back the selection committee, but if we bring in both Hogan and Garland then at least one tall player needs to make way as well.

Agree. As I have said before, those games are usually won by the good running teams.

Absolutely. I still remember the year we rolled Port up there in the dying moments after coughing up a 7-8 goal lead. We need as many runners as possible and I'm hoping we make the right changes to suit the conditions.

I would bring in Garland, Hogan and JKH and look at dropping, Bail, Spencer and Riley.

Heard Vandenberg should be back next week, though it might be at Casey.

I think I read somewhere that JKH is likely to play VFL.

I would bring in Hogan and Garland

for Spencer and Riley.

Gawn has shown he can run a game out better than he could last year. Dawes can give him a break and Howey can go 3rd man up

Nic Nat will probably win the taps anyway so Id prefer not to have 2 inefffectual rucks out there

Gawn is yet to show he can run a game out. The only full game he's had as the number 1 ruck was against the Saints and he dropped off in the last Q.

With Pedders off and unable to give him a break we used Howe and Watts a few times but a tired Gawn made a couple of crucial mistakes in that last minute.

If we drop a tall it has to be Dawes, unless he's made a resurgence as a ruckman.

I'm sure the old Pencil ain't an easy guy to miss.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
