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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. 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
