If Vince and Lewis were to retire at season's end we'd probably be last on that list next year

Not necessarily, as the figures are average median games played, as opposed to average mean/average.

Also for those who are interested: 

2014: Dom Tyson

2015: Hogan, Lever, Brayshaw, Viney

2016: Hogan, Lever, Trac, Viney, Kent, Hunt

2017: Hunt, Oliver, Trac, OMac, Lever

2018: ANB, Harmes, Trac, Oliver, Brayshaw, Fritch 

 

Although it’s not finals, it’s an indication that we actually have good players now (earlier versions of the 22 under 22 were not good reading for us). 

13 players have been nominated in the last 5 years: 

Backs: Lever, OMac, Hunt 

Mids: Brayshaw, Oliver, Viney, Harmes, Tyson, 

Forwards: Hogan, Trac, Fritch, ANB, Kent

add AA squad recipients Gawn, Hibbard, Garlett, Jetta (and Lever) ..... it’s not a bad 18 players with captain Jones. 

The arguments above are right - our “core” is sooooooo young and we aren’t really ready for another year - but here is hoping a final or 2 this year!

The club has been at pains to point to media and the like that 2020 is when they think the window will actually open for us based upon the list demographic - basically when our core young have hit that mystical 70-100 game mark

How they factor in the loss of Vince, Lewis, and Jones and Jetta etc being closer to the end within that I have zero idea

Vince impact minimal this year.

Jones has been average.

Jetta good but seems to be carrying multiple injuries

Lewis still okay but slowing.

I wouldn’t have any of them in our best 8 players. Oliver, Gawn, TMac, Viney, Hibberd, Brayshaw, Hogan & Lever.

reckon cp5 is pi$$ed? or a begrudging acceptance?

Hopefully a nice little wake up call for him, certainly won't hurt him and hopefully burns inside. He certainly has the talent, but like many demons before him, talent will only get you so far.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
