I'll back ANB to play round 1 and only lose his spot through injury. I was pretty impressed with what he achieved given his pre and early season setbacks. I like when kids just look like they belong straight up. They don't need to get a heap of it early on like say Gysberts but instead show clean hands, enjoy the physicality and adjust to the pace quickly. Viney, Salem and Hogan have all done exactly that in recent times. I'd add ANB to that list. He just looks a footballer.

I think Salem will take his game to another level this year. I think he will be like Luke Hodge ... but with more demerit points :)

I think Harmes will be a gun next year, after seeing him in that last game against GWS clunking those big pack marks , and just his aggression and appetite for the ball and the contest....reckon he could be something special.

Harmes or Oscar Mac - can't decide between the two so I hope both of them. Harmes was a huge surprise for me late last year, and CHF remains wide open for us and Oscar looks like a prime candidate.

I'm not necessarily expecting it but I'm hoping Max King comes on with a few leaps and bounds.

We know he has good hands and neat kicking skills. At 200cm he can fill in that important mobile tall forward cum 2nd relief ruck role.

If, and yes it is a big if, he could become a vital cog in our next finals side

(nice thread too)

Chris Dawes to have a break-out season with 26 goals.

Lel. And a couple of marks out in front. In all seriousness, seems to be a champion fella but he is frustrating to watch.

Surprise packet - really hoping JKH brings some consistent form and really builds on the promise of a couple of years ago.

Harmes as the surprise package. Love the way he gets his head over it and tracks the ball in a contest. I still think Melksham could be a really good player this year. He is one player who does not get phased about playing Hawthorn.

Not sure if hes a surprise packet but Dom Tyson to win the b&f!

Dean Kent and an improved Lumumba are other potential surprise packets

My Tip is Hunt.

With his injuries behind him I expect him to have a big pre-season and break into the side round 8. His speed and a goal a game from the wing will see him keep his spot for the rest of the season.

ANB and OMac to be the surprise packet for Melbourne supporters.

Salem to surprise the rest of the league with a move to the midfield. You

Sam Frost. Seems like a lot of the boys are talking him up in their post season reviews.

Another smokey is Vandenberg. With a full pre season, he could have a huge 2016.

Not really a surprise packet but I'm really looking forward to big Maxy Gawn maintaining the rage and having a stellar season.

    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. 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
