MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 12


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I'll take any win on Monday, but if we were able to win big, there's a chance we could go as high as 9th if Carlton lose.

I reckon we might be taking a bit of a risk with Viney. I hope it doesn't backfire. I'll trust the FD to know that he's right to play. I just know they've admitted a few mistakes already this year. Namely Brayshaw's inclusion earlier in the year.

And remember Trengove?  Apparently it was all OK to play with his foot injury despite him being outrun by the MCG shadows.

Well, this incarnation of the FD wasn't responsible for that.

Strongest side we have field for the year

Not far off it. I'd like Brayshaw, Jeffy and Salem in there. Pedersen as well, but it's not far off it.

Edited by AdamFarr
Forgot about Jeffy.

Really hope Vince still plays on the ball with Viney back in the team. I think Jones should be the one on the outside when needed

I can't see Vince not playing on Pendles.

Brayshaw, Salem, Lumumba, Garlett, Harmes, M.Jones, Pedersen all best 22 for mine this year, so not our strongest side IMO. Obviously some of that is form and not injury, but I'm talking when in standard form or form shown early this year, not best form.

Who is Harmes better then in Monday's side? He got dropped for a reason and that's because he isn't best 22.

We will know soon enough 'Adam'...

I'm sure Jack put his hand up, I just hope the FD didn't fall for it.

Dawes, Frost, Stretch, Wagner, Omac, Trengove, Hunt.

Those players aren't best 22 (currently) if everyone is fit and in standard form IMO.

Stretch has shown he is definitely in our best 22.  Trengove has had 1 game back and is a star

Wagner has had a decent season Stuie, would have him over M.Jones. Jones has only played 4 games, he was good against GWS, OK against North & Pies and terrible against the Dons

Just take it in the context I put it, which was at this point right now but going by the standard form shown, not the ceiling, that is some of those names are in there now but could be best 22 end of season. For mine, Stretch and Trengove don't quite have the runs on the board yet but would be close. Hopefully that makes sense?

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    TRAINING: Monday 11th November 2024

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.
