Darren Parkin with special guest Daniel Cross.

Not a bad listen if you've got 20 minutes.

Starts with a best 22. Pretty standard team similar to most of the media ones floating around.

Goes through some strengths and weaknesses and then Crossy gets on to talk Tracc and others. 

Overall Crossy seems positive about a lot of players, including Petracca, but cautions that he'll need a good block of preseason running before he plays.

Agree with the 22 but would possibly have Pedo in for Dawes.

Really disappointed about Melksham.

 

Who the drug cheat RB?

Darren is very passionate about General Footy, but such a St.kilda supporter, and as has been said today about the station he works for, He is careful NEVER to Rock the boat on SEN...The AFL have them by the balls big time....

Meh, it's late night talk radio, save the conspiracies for the forums, no point discussing criticism of the AFL at 2am. 

I'd be more worried that the AFL isn't criticised by investigative journos at the big papers. In fact the way the peptides scandal broke in to Caro (AFL) and Robbo (Ess) was very disappointing.

Yes i know it is in the wee hours but when you have a bunch of late night presenters (Most) just want the Essendrug situation to go away because it is taking too long rather than finding the truth it kind of dilutes the output...
SEN people (Mostly) want "Footy" at any cost no matter what the Performance...

I am interested in the " best 22 " selected by Parkin and also many on this site. Essentially most selections involve all those who would be expected to be picked.

I have watched again the great game v Gerlong in 2015. In my view the key to Melbourne 16 lies in a number of players who don't feature on anyone's best 22.

apart from the usual picks we tried many kids last year. I will forget some, but in my thinking I include Harmes, Stretch, Neil-Bullen, Mc Donald (jun) White, Frost. In my view, our best side will hopefully, by R12 , include 3 of the above, and at least 2 will feature in our B and F. 

We are happy about the first years of Brayshaw and Hogan and Vandenberg but if it really was a great year for first years, some of the above need to come through. I suspect at least a couple will. If they do, we can challenge for the 8

one final point. Many on this site deplore that we have Matt Jones on the list. Watch a replay of the Geelong match and think again! Even in a v good side there is a role for a Matt Jones

I've watched that game a couple of times and the contributions of M Jones and ANB were vital to our win.

And bye th' bye it was nice to hear Derwayne having to say nice things about Melbourne, and down at Geelong too.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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.
