Will Jones return and if so who will he replace? It'd be a shame to see Trengove only make the one appearance and then be omitted.

JKH had little impact today but otherwise it was a reasonable spread of effort.

I think our best 22 would see Jones and vince come back in and unfortunately Kennedy Harris and trenners go out. 

So I'd say 

Jones in trengove out next week 

I'd love trenners to stay but taking the emotion out of it I think jkh offers some X factor that trengove just doesn't

If Jones is ready, then it will be Jones for JKH.

If he isn't then I'd go with an unchanged lineup.  Been a while since we've been able to do that, and it will give us some continuity going into a danger game.

Then we get Jones and Vince back the following week.

I don't think JKH offers much X factor at all compared to our other small to mid-sized players.

He got a bit of the ball last week but went missing today.

X factor is great but you have get your hands on the pill first.

In; Jones

Out: JKH

Will they rest Gawn in light of his "soreness" ?

He is so important to our finals chances and "if" North go ruckless as they did today it may be a good strategy.

Against that he needs the game time.

On Jones .. I see no reason to rush him back but will understand one way or the other

Ruckless? Daw was good in the ruck today. He would dominate Watts/McDonald

And getting more game time onto Dom, Watts, Hogan and Viney is critical as we approach September

Everything will depend on whether Jones comes back

You get the sense it's either JKH or Trengove who would be lowest on the totem pole to lose their spot; sentimentality I would much prefer to see Trenners stay in, but I thought both were serviceable today 

Would love to see 'no change' if Jones is not right to reward what was a fantastic team effort today

Harmes attack on the footy today was exemplary. Maybe a few untidy disposals but he always has a dip!

possibly give the skipper a run in the 2s next week been out a long time with the quad - run off some rust. would have been good to do it with a couple of our seniors coming back last few weeks but didnt have the luxury due to running out with our 3rds otherwise...

no change - same endeavour early and we absolutely [censored] Nth to eradicate the last decade of failures against them. [censored] hate that pissant club

Trengove comes out if Jones comes in. Everyone knows that, right?

Im not so sure.  Who from the midfield drops back to HBF to cover Trengove?

 

I think JKH goes out for Jones. Trengove out for Vince the next week.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    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
