One of the lighter bodied talls because they usually don't do well in the wet.

Id list these as out talls.

Hogan, Watts, Dawes, Gawn, Tmac, Omac, Frost.

who would Spencer replace, the lighter frames I'd say are Omac and Watts, possibly Frost. Spencer is not going to play key defence so that rules out Frost and Omac which leaves watts...

You would swap Spencer for Watts?

I'd have Hogan as the CHF, his more natural position. Weed at FF, Watts is too valuable to be stuck deep forward so have him on a high roaming flank, Hulett as a FP maybe?

 

Petracca               Hogan          Watts

Garlett/Kennedy    Weed          Hulett

 

It is very tall

No. I didn't say that.

It's not slow though. I was going to initially put Hogan at CHF. I actually now think I'd have Kent at HFF with Watts on a wing.

Brayshaw back after the bye?

Unfortunately, the Casey teams also have a bye next weekend which means he misses out on the opportunity to get some more match fitness which would be vital given that he's missed so much footy this year.

I'd be reasonably happy if they just wrote Gus off this year and made sure he was super-fit and ready for next.  We're not feeling the loss too badly so no need to rush with him.  He's only in his second year.  Plenty more to come if we manage him well now.

That goal was pretty special.  He still has injury and fitness issues, but if they get them sorted out he's going to be a great addition to their side.

That's two huge games from Spencer and Matt Jones in a row now, gotta be knocking loudly on the selection door.

Today I would say the same. Tomorrow, after knocking the Swannies off, and with a spring in my step, I say get him back.;)

Fair point.

He looked a bit overweight for me personally. Saw bits of the game but not all of it.

Matt Jones was shocking against Collingwood last week.

Yeah, but who actually wants them in the team ?

It's good to have pressure from below though.

    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.

    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
