This is not my preferred team, but a prediction.

Lumumba will play NAB 3 and will play round one.

The sooner Brayshaw, Petracca and Trengove come back from injury the better.

I liked Pedo's effort and reckon he has given himself a good opportunity at a start against GWS. All a myth of course.

I find the knocks on Garland bemusing. I can see his limitations but he is very consistent, gells well with the other regular defenders (which is critical) and can cover both tallish and smalle

Agree with this team. ProDee, who would you have Brayshaw, Petracca and Trengove replace when they are fit and ready to go?

Unless Frost improves this week I can't see him making the round 1 side.  Hasn't been good enough to warrant a spot as a defender, forward or back up ruckman.  He's been out a long time and maybe needs more games to prepare.

Can't believe so many had him penciled in for the side , hadn't seen nearly enough of him.

What's the story with ANB? Is he injured or is he on the outer.  Thought he looked ok last year but unsighted so far.

Very good question. I hadn't noticed any training reports saying he's had significant injuries or been in rehab.

Just outside the best 25 or whatever we are picking at the minute, i reckon he'll play against the Saints.

Frost won't play on current form. Lumumba will have to have a good one against the saints if he is to play round one. 

 

End of post-match presser. Frost is now playing Howe's mysterious forward role from last season.

Well it is 26 in the squad, and about 6 are injured, that puts him outside the the best 32 or so doesn't it?

Really been impressed with Matt Jones so far. Wouldn't be surprised if he breaks into the round 1 squad. Wouldn't mind a Hulett or Weideman get a game in NAB 3 alongside Hogan and Watts up forward and let Frost play as a backman.

This is the team I posted in the OP way back towards the end of January. 

FB:  Garland. T Mac. Dunn

HB: Salem. Frost. Jetta

C: Vince. N. Jones. Stretch

HF: Kent. Dawes. Brayshaw

F: Watts. Hogan. Garlett

FOL: Gawn. Viney. VDB

INT: Hames. Kennedy, Tyson, Pedo.

With the first two NAB games out of the way and a few injuries, revelation of form and niggles uncovered, I would make the following adjustments to my R1 team.

FB:  Garland. Dunn. Jetta

HB: Salem. T Mac. Vince

C: M Jones. Viney. Grimes

HF: Kent. Pedo. VDB

F: Watts. Hogan. Garlett

FOL: Gawn. VDB. N. Jones

INT: Hames. Bugg, Tyson, Stretch

In a team like this I could see us stacking runners on the bench to cover the limited rotations and to try and keep the grunt in the midfield. I see a lot of time on the ground for Gawn, Pedo and Dunn.

I don't expect Lumumba or Dawes to be Match fit for R1. Brayshaw is a chance to be there and if so, he replaces Grimes and Grimes drops to the bench to replace Stretch. Petracca or even ANB may put their hands up if they get a run in NAB3 or the Casey praccy games. Frost will not get in the team on present form and will need to run into form at Casey.

Disappointed that you are going against the pundits ( and recent form) in not selecting Oliver!

To be honest, I had him in and out of the team a few times. I can see that by the end of the season he may well be a fixture there. He will get a run very early and I can see the possibility of him continuing his run of form in the next NAB or in the Casey preseason games to make his inclusion in R1 irresistable. At this stage I would be inclined not to have him there R1. I think there will be a lot of team management throughout the season with the changes to the interchange rules and the fact that we have a relatively young group of players that are still trying to build proper capacity to endure a complete season.We need to build a list that has not only depth of talent but also the endurance to carry us through the season.

2 NABs down, 1 NAB to go.

F: Harmes  Hogan  Garlett

INT: vandenBerg  Oliver  Grimes  Lumumba

E: M Jones  Michie  Kennedy  Frost

 

Kennedy is a likely inclusion as part of the new mosquito squad, but I'm not wholly convinced as yet. Same with Frost. Likely but has not put forward a strong enough case for mine. Matt Jones is right on the periphery which is a big jump from where I had him previously.

I like Stretch and ANB but maybe the coaches are taking a more cautious approach with them.

Assuming Brayshaw's availability, VDB instead for a bigger body starting off in the guts. I think Baryshaw one season off starting on ball.

Oliver, Bugg and Kennedy all in my R 1 team after that game. Will be interesting to see if Brayshaw comes up. 

Goodwin said in his after match presser that Brayshaw should be able to play for Casey this week, same as AVB and Dunn.  I'd say if he plays and comes through unscathed then he'll get a gig for Round 1.

So, three preseason wins, one Casey to go...

 

B: Jetta - Dunn - Garland

HB: Salem - T McDonald - Vince

C: vandenBurg - N Jones - Bugg

HF: Watts - Pedersen - Kennedy

F: Kent - Hogan - Garlett

Foll: Gawn - Tyson - Viney

I/c: Brayshaw - Oliver - Frost - Harmes

Emerg: Grimes - O McDonald - M Jones

 

Frost stays in my 22 as he offers a chop out in a number of positions.

 

A bit disappointed not to see more of ANB and Stretch this preseason.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
