Hannan is out of form 

Bugg is done

Kentband Vanders need yo find continuous form at VFL level. Neither has done much of anything at AFL level

i love how people think that average VFL players can fix our ills

No one said that.

Not in so many words maybe. But there are a lot of posters who seem to think that the 19 yr old Baker is going to fix our outside run problem. Or that Keilty would come in and do a better job then Oscar McDonald who a 'woeful footballer'.

I think when supporters see Kent kick a few or Vanders lay a dozen tackles that they would immediately come in and make an impact at AFL level. Both of those guys aren't AFL match fit. Goodwin mentioned in a press conference last week that AVB was a month away with him needing to build form and fitness at VFL level.

Harmes will play this weekend I reckon.

I think he'd be one of our toughest players alongside Viney, Nev, Oliver, Hibbo and Brayshaw.

So we’re going to make a change even though it will offer no improvement. How about we just leave it. I’ve a soft spot for JKH cause he’s worked his backside off to get here. It takes more than 2 games to find the pace of the game, I’d give him 5 games

And he still won't have it RI

You have a soft spot..... that's fine. I don't. He's used up all his goes.  Absolutely he tries hard. He has half a game really ( kinda fits us perfectly come to think of it ) Irony...he's all defence...not much chop for a small fwd .

JKH stays in, we have no one to replace him 

If he stays we are in worse shape than I thought! Gave us ZILCH then missed a Crucial goal through panic!

Not the answer!

Still think we need extra height 

I think Pedersen gives us versatility and I like his reliable clunking

So a small needs to come out, if not JKH then it has to be Jeffy for mine and push JKH deep forward

Pedo for Oscar then.

Hannan for JKH

I have seen JKH tackle well and hunt the ball at VFL level.

could he play the Vince tagging role against Adelaide?

even if he swaps in and out of this role. He can use the ball well

We play Adelaide Oval really well.  Probably as well as we play Etihad.

We flogged the Crows there by 8 goals last season, and beat both Port and the Crows there in 2016. Should have rolled Port a few weeks ago but didn't take our chances.

I say no change unlesss we need an extra key back in Pedo. 

We were so good for so long on Saturday which gets lost a bit due to the gut wrenching way we lost

Above average Vfl players  get games over average Vfl players but when those better Vfl players get their chance and constantly fail then you have to then rely on the average Vfl players and hope that somebody can step up. Don't be surprised an average player in Baker gets a game.

Exactly jkh gave us nil. 

He panicked when he should have won the game

i gave him the benefit of a chance but he is not afl standard

move over and give Baker his deserved shot

I remember him taking strong grabs, and knocking the stuffing out of players at the contest.  I liked him.  Still do.  He's a hungry young man.  

I agree with those things.  I liked him too. And was excited for what he could be.  But he wasn't an elite talent nor an established AFL player.  And with his actual stats,  those big marks and goals were remembered were actually not that frequent. 

He is tough, physical, competitive and had potential, so I hope he can make it back. I just think that we're remembering his output fondly based on nostalgia and our overall terrible performance at the time, and rating current players low because their weaknesses are currently exposed. 

Will we be happy with 12 possessions from VDB? Because we aren't happy with 15-20 from Pettracca, nor 15 and 2 goals from ANB...

I'm not an ANB fan but he was very good against Geelong.  Generally clean ball winning and he used it well.

We can’t have watched the same game!  My new nickname for Nibbler is Fumbles.

    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
