The main outs this time around would be Jake Lever and Michael Hibberd while Jack Viney was on the cusp of coming back. 

If we can get Hibberd and Viney back into the side for the big run home, it would be very helpful.

I’m feeling that we don’t press on Viney, Hibbo or any others having a break. I’d be happy to let Hogan take some time off, bring in one of (AVB/Pedo) for Hogan. 

Spargo to one of (Kent/Bugg).

everyone else we should retain - I hold high hopes for next weekend, possibly even get our percentage back up to over 130% to hold back the other contenders.

A fit and ready to go J Hunt may be a finals wildcard if we make it too,

Has AVB improved in the two years he missed?

 

Thats the big question his Tackling pressure and hardness are top shelf elite, but how has his impact been in regards to general possesions,kicking goals etc.

How far is Hunty off from playing at Casey? He'd have to play 2-3 blinders in a row to be considered for the Dees.

    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.
