Stop trying to reason the FD Wrecker...or get plenty of panadol and a good single malt !! ;)

My suggestion forget the FD reasoning and the panadol.

Just concerntrate on a good single malt.

Weideman  Kent and possibly Vince unlikely and a number of others not certainties.

That backline starts to look bloody good.

Poor old Neville Jetta not having to cover opponents 20cm taller than him because Lever is there to provide the well-timed chop-out.

Oscar not having to think too hard because now he can focus more on controlling his direct opponent.

Hibberd, Hunt and Salem all having much better opportunities to rebound because instead of a messy scrap after a rough spoil that doesn't fully clear the danger area, the incoming ball has been decisively cut off and fed out to them.

Funny thing, I think Lever coming in might just be the difference that gets Jetta an All-Australian nod.

B:        Jetta         O.Mc      Frost

HB:     Hibberd     Lever      Hunt

C:       Tyson       Jones     Vince

HF:   Melksham  T.Mc  Petracca

F:      Hannan    Hogan    Garlett

Foll:   Gawn,      Viney,    Oliver

Int: Lewis, Neal-Bullen, Brayshaw, Pederson

With many depth options (Stretch, Bugg, Harmes, Wagner, Weideman, Kent, Smith, Vanders).

It actually looks pretty good, eh. Even with assuming that Watts is not there.

Looks good.

And you've overlooked Salem and not considered Balic.

T mac forward.  O Mac at FB.  Hannan forward, Trac in the midfield.  Oliver in the midfield, Lewis behind the ball as ‘quarterback’.  Vandenberg and Maynard in the mix.  Not bad, need Stretch or other outside runner I think.

No personal history at all.Jones has been a super player for us but he is selfish ,he turns the ball over too much,as does tyson

 

and when the game is on the line he does not communicate or stand up.

 

i am sick of him running round the back for a quick stat and then bombing the ball long to a contest

 

he needs to change the way he plays 

 

may be a half back roll is right for him in his last couple of years.i would play Maynard in the  in the midfield rotation ahead of jones and tyson

 

my view

Really concerned about leg speed and run and carry in some of these sides.  Particularly around centre and half forward.

Hard to tell until after the draft. 

Balic is someone who with a strong pre season might push for selection 

Is Balic on our list?

Always a favourite for us dreamers - the Rd 1 side, selected four months out. As much chance of it coming up as ... Richmond winning the flag in 2017!

Now that we have got our man I thought I'd go for it. Note: I'm one who rates VDB because of his gruntwork and his scary tackling and, barring injury, I reckon he's a monte. 

B: Jetta Frost Hibberd

HB: Jones Lever Hunt

C: Brayshaw Oliver Lewis

HF: VDB T.Mac Nibbler

F: Garlett Hogan Petracca

Ru: Gawn Tyson Viney

Int: Salem, Harmes, Melky, Vince  

Emerg: O.Mac, Hannan, Maynard

Good team but OMac plays in front of Frost for mine and I think Hannan will be even better next year. 

Good problems to have

OMac must play regularly or TMac won't sign when it counts.

Anyone who thinks we don't have depth - try fitting in Vandenburg, Harmes, Neal-Bullen, Garland and Bugg to name a handful.

Where was that posted? 

ANB is top 10 at the club imo. Way ahead of Salem, Brayshaw and Kent.

Please  go to the games and watch him play. I think you watch it on the idiot box, and if you don't you must have to much to drink before the game. NFI. Why am l wasting my oxygen you?  DERRRRRR

Can I suggest that maybe Garland could have a place in the team as a Forward.

Problem is most of those guys aren't up to it. And you've got Kent in the side.

    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

    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.

    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.
