Oscar ahead of Dunn. Called it a few days ago after Roosy's comments, but still the first major curveball of the season

Dunn was injured, maybe he hasn't quite recovered.

no dunn what a joke the most loyal bloke at this crap clib

Dunn not included and Brayshaw not yet ready the two biggest surprises. Agree that O Mac is a concern, but given Dunn's inconsistency and being dropped from the leadership group, not all that surprising. Perhaps if Cameron hadn't been suspended, things might have been different.

so we select teams on loyalty? Bit underdone and they are seriously lacking in tall fwds at present

Just a hunch. Couldn't grab a tackle in the Saints game and hasn't used his right hand at training since. 

Omac ahead of Dunn is strange, so I'm tipping a late change.

Doubt he'd be named as an emergency if that's the case. Could be wrong though.

It makes no sense to me that we would make a late change for the first game of the season.  If they won't pick Brayshaw, who they obviously feel needs another week at Casey, then they won't pick someone under an injury cloud.  Salem is right to go and O Mac must have impressed them to get the gig down back alongside his brother.

You left out the ruck division.

The other notable absentee is Lumumba.  Another one they feel needs at least another week at Casey if Roos' comments, about picking the fittest side they can, is anything to go by.

Cheap.

I meant that he must be right to go, otherwise they wouldn't pick him for Round 1 when they've had a few weeks to get him right.  

Plus Roos talked about the fact that guys like Dunn, Brayshaw and Lumumba missed out because they wanted to go with the fittest side possible.  If Salem wasn't fit then he would have missed.

I hope I'm not proven wrong though as he is crucial for us off half back.

How can Gus play VFL and do very well but still be left out?

Maybe pulled up a little sore?

My hunches are rarely right. And I hope Salem is good to go. 

 

Would still rather a 50% Dunn than Oscar.

People were saying he played and used it well, but he only had it 16 times. I'd like to see him get it a bit more, so it doesn't surprise me so much that they're giving him another week

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
