Neville JettA rarely gets done in a one on one. He finds a target nearly every time. He plays big-and is reliable. Also can negate the second and third best small forwards in the league

Can't see them dropping Harmes.  Frost first out for Petracca. Brayshaw second out for Oliver. Would be happy for neither, one or both to occur.

Harmes is currently equal 3rd on our ladder of tackles (with Jetta, behind Bugg and the manic Viney). The club would be well aware of this and understand the value of it - it disappoints me when suppo

Please don't play Viney as tagger on Steven. Put someone else on him. We need Viney leading the attack. 

I think those days are gone....

I think we'll be too hard and hungry for the Saints either way.

We're riding a wave at the moment and I think we're irresistible at the contest. 

We're playing really inspired football and our young players are hungry for more.

I don't know why they do this but the AFL generally issues an injury list on Tuesday afternoons which usually turns out wrong. Here's the Saints' injury list - it looks pretty healthy

Leigh Montagna (hamstring) Expected return TBC

Nick O'Kearney (arm) Test

Brenton Payne (shin) Test

Nick Riewoldt (ankle) Expected return TBC

Dylan Roberton (knee) Expected return TBC

Source: The injury list: round six

I wouldn't bother with the one they put out for Melbourne - better to wait for the inaccurate one the club puts out on Wednesday night or Thursday.

WJ I am surprised you even look at these lists they have been  rubbish for as long as I can remember.

Look at the game against the Tigers everyone knew Deledio would be very unlikely to play.

Tigers were all positive till game day then he comes out.

The  lists are BS.

I don't think they're BS, I just think that they reflect the inaccuracies and vagaries of injuries and recovery. Every Tuesday they put down a marker and call it an "injury list" - but it's a moveable feast.

CP 5 is in Saturday. Take it to the bank.

Interesting though most 1st gamers get told mid week as it gives them that couple of days to organize family tickets and more direct focus on the game and potential opponent's.

Moveable yes but a feast it ain't 

The details are shown to try and confuse other teams but they have little to do with the actual.

You sadistic so-and-so. What did that bag ever do to you to deserve such pain? :(:)

Looking forward to seeing Petracca debut. Still think Oliver and Matt Jones will also come in as we will need fresh runners. 

Not sure who goes out.

Now I reckon only Oliver will join Petracca. Brayshaw is one likely out but the other ..... no idea unless there is an as yet undisclosed injury.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
