I think  JKH (useless) will come out for this game.

I don't even know why JFK kept his sport after the Doggies game.

Surely the easy dropped chest mark against the Dogs was a dead giveaway that he wouldn't have been able to handle the heat against Geelong in hostile territory. And sure enough he cost us dearly with that miss late in the game.

I don't comment too much about the spurious statements made here but sometimes it just goes too far. I had a player parent comment about some of the things that were said about certain footballers on

Bugg has gone a bit quite down at VFL level.. i reckon he knows his papers are stamped and is just going through the motions. I know i will be on my own here, but i honestly thought JKH wasn't ev

Goodwin has shown zero interest in shuffling fringe players around from wins or narrow losses unless there was a very clear case at any stage this year - either injury or a key player returning. He va

Blind Freddy could c that but not the coach or the selection group. JKH has had 5 years 2 prove he can handle the pressure & when the heat is on he's off.

Hope Harmes stays in but if he is going to be limited in any capacity don't play him.

Bring in Pedo ... and possibly someone else, anyone... aside from JKH!

If the co-captain wants JKH out, it's good enough 4 me

Why is it finals starts for us week before the rest of the league ??

Because we stuffed up against Geelong (x2) and St.Kilda.

Yes, I agree he isn't ready so probably never will be .... but that miss late in the game wouldn't have mattered at all if so many more experienced leaders hadn't squandered so many chances earlier in the game.

No change.  A bit surprising, but I'm not sure who we could have brought in to really improve the side.

No change is fantastic. 

They played at a ridiculously high level for just over 3 qtrs.  

Keep the faith

 

In amongst all the discussion from this week, this bolded part shouldn't be forgotten.  We played some ripping footy on Saturday night and I'm backing this 22 in to do it again.

Obviously Harmes is the doubtful one and Vanders is there to take his spot if he doesn't get up.  What a story for AVB if he gets the nod after everything he's been through!

Don't mind the no change lineup at all.. 

Other then Pederson, there weren't many others who put their hand up for selection.

No Change

 

Obviously a vote of confidence in VDB's progress though unlikely to be ready for this week.

JFK remaining is a bit of a shock though.   Must have played the role demanded of him.

Goodwin has shown zero interest in shuffling fringe players around from wins or narrow losses unless there was a very clear case at any stage this year - either injury or a key player returning. He values team consistency. No problem with that here.

Not sure which bit the experts on here don't get

He had 14 disposals and 7 score involvements and 4 tackles, wasn't involved in last passage of play and yes he missed a shot at goal which all the experts on here,  under the pressure he was, would pop through for a goal with aplomb

He should have kicked the goal, saty, it’s as simple as that.

I agree though that one player shouldn’t take the fall just to sate people’s appetite for a scapegoat. He wasn’t the only player who made a mistake on the night and he was otherwise adequate.

I actually thought ANB was relatively good against Geelong. He was awful in his first game back but played a good last quarter there and has improved since then. I'm glad he has been given another chance.

Goodwin obviously sees something in JFK than approx 44,100 can’t.

He failed in last weeks pressure cooker game. What makes this weekend any different?

Maybe he is looking from the Book Depository window

    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.
