Smith will play round 1, imo.

'ProDee', it's time to bring Raquel back. Trumps face is doing my head in...

...now before I get accused of derailing the thread, Smith is a big chance for round 1.

No Hibberd, Frost or Wagner so in my mind it comes down to Garland or Smith. If Smith's training well and Garland isn't then may as well go with him in round 1. He might struggle and it's a tough baptism but I'd rather play a guy who has his down moments than a guy who just doesn't have it any more.

If Garland doesn't get picked with those 3 out, then he's almost certainly played his last game for the Dees.

Correct Cards. I have not seen us push the envelope in this game in the entire time i've watched and frustrated that so many others do so and do it well. One can only hope we've finally woken up.

Hopefully we are just not following the leader (it seems logical that we can use what seems like a simple technique to improve) but Rusty you're correct I can't recall seeing us push the envelope, well besides drafting players like Morton, Gys, and who was that fwd?! :)

Cant wait for Saturday!

Jetta - T Mac - Smith

Hunt - O Mac - Melksham

Tom plays CHB, which you'd expect with his tank and offensive mindset, and Oscar replaced Dunn in the FB role.

I'm constantly surprised how often people confuse their positions even though I acknowledge they're far more interchangeable than ever.

Good point. The match ups potentially aren't great. Omac and Tmac vs Bruce, Membery, paddy and (when he goes fwd) Roo.

Smith will hopefully get the gig, but a big ask for a first gamer. Gawn and Spencer may have to drift back.

Need to put pressure on the ball carrier coming into their F50. Midfield must do this

In contrast Rjay, I'd like to see your avatar a bit more!

Yes, but there is a spot for the taking if required with Mitch King on the LTI

as you say, they don't have positions. they just rotate through. i just the like the idea of the senior brother as the last line of defence!

It's the only time ever I want collingwood to win,  they beat the crows then all we have to do is beat freeo by 3  goals

I too believe Joel Smith will play , been our best performed third tall of the pre season, manic tackler and a bit of X factor.

If Frost was fit he would probably play and Garland just doesn't seem to excite anyone these days.

I don't believe Garland has done anything wrong

But I agree with general consensus that J Smith has been good this offseason - would like to see more

Garland sadly hasn't done anything right since 2013.

Very harsh imo

Let's not get distracted too.much by the past.

What exactly has he done wrong so far?

His game in the jlt was quite solid. Or do you just look at the end result?

There's a permanent spot to fill following the retirement of Lumumba.

Except the AFL won't let us upgrade a rookie for some reason same as last year we could not replace Melksham! (It's a handicap not being Essendon or Collingwood when you are a Melbourne-based Club!)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the AFL stipulated we could not replace H on our list in 2017.

I think H got concussed last year first game.Tom Mac was supposedly zoning off Reiwoldt,,Bruce,Membrey tore us up,so did Stevens..Can't recall Garland playing but give him a go if he is beating Hogan in training drills.Might find his mojo- was one of the few who played well under Neeld.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
