Reality is I do pick the team Goody's right hand man I am.

The club should scrap the official Team of the Century from a few years back and get you to redo it, WD.

I want to see the REAL team.

I would like to see Stretch played in the back half for at least a half each week to see if he can develop into a Vince style role. Not sure he has the necessary instinctive smarts to replace Lewis in time but that is also a possibility.

Also not sure that the midfield role is the place to develop decision making skills that carry through to the seniors. Thinking JKH here and worried that Billy is going the same way.

Billy has this year and probably next to break into the senior side......... I'm sure everyone here wants to see him given every chance.

I'll let KC put up the team, but the side has included King and Tyson.

I think M.Lewis and Lok should hold their spots due to the possibility of Garlett and Pedo going up to the NT.

Hutchins still out.

Quigley the 23rd man.

Hutchins is listed as full back for Mansfield in the GVFL

I worry that while billy is a muscular young man, he seems too small for a halfback spot. Aerial flankers will make short work of him and I just don’t see that as a fit

you could be right.. I was thinking of him in the Bernie Vince role but I see Billy is 180cm compared to 186cm for Bernie. Not much difference really (2.3 inches) but maybe enough to make it a difficult proposition.

A dominant performance from Jeff Garlett would be nice.

I assume he will be in NT with Pedersen. Not sure if Tyson and Hunt will be at Port either.

Perhaps Drunk'n or KC can help us out.

Hunt will be at Port and I'm thinking that Tyson will be too - the latter needs the game time. Hasn't played for two weeks now...

you'll get one because red and blue are Port's colours... we even share the same US theme song

Good call Diamond, either way it's a Grand Old Flag today!

Is Kieran Byers the son of former Demon, Garry?

I wouldn't think so Jim, Garry Byers is 80 years old

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    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
