Goodwin said no Spencer this weekend, he will play VFL

Again, Im sure the FD know wha they're doing - Grundy will dominate vs the 3 backsups... I guess if they're holding firm on philosophy of not bringing in folk who are under done then it makes sense.

We have grown up, no rushing people back, picking people based on form you have to hand it to Goodwin his actions match his words.

No... to expand NO! Love taking the cash and listening to Eddie bleat. It may be unfortunate in the future to get less revenue because less Woods supporters show up due to our relative ladder positions but I want it all... smash'em and take their money.

The Filth still make good money on QB. 

They have infected the Ponsford Stand for all games i think??

I'd say the wording will change to "he's been ready to go for a few weeks but we've held him back, so he's got the training load right to come straight back in!".

As much as they say all players at the start of the season start at zero again, we know some start at zero* (the axtrix being, if your name is Jones, Lewis, TMac, Viney, Hogan, Watts, Gawn, Jetta or Tracc you'll get in no matter the circumstances) - probably a few I've forgotten. Some like Watts and even Jetta will be excluded in the pre-season but come season proper the rules change - and so they should.

Salem could be the only in although I have a sneaking suspicion Ben Kennedy might get a look in.

Why telegraph it now though? Why not wait until team selection? Just handing info to your opponents....

There's training on Sat ?

I think it depends on how the coaching group see Buggs performance the last two weeks, was he just unlucky in his goal kicking or does he need to go back and work on it?

Not even slightly trying to be patronising. Pretty certain FD's are sophisticated places and have multiple plans in place before the game...dependent on a multitude of contexts.

Seems not.

Has he? Source (please don't say Ding)? Link?

Going to give him a run in the ruck in lieu of Spencil getting up. Allows us to move Pedo fwd and have Watts as a stay at home forward as well. 

Not sure the ball will get there, however.

I think they are concerned about Grundy around the ground and therefore our current blend can get an advantage here

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
