Pretty sure the whole squad of 40 would be there, even the interstaters.

do you prefer Oliver's suit buttoned up, or Gawn a bit more free flowing mate?

I am not sure, as I have quite literally zero fashion sense.

Interesting that the kit is MFC prescribed, but just like on gameday, the boots are "bring your own".

You don't think you might be just a little biased?

If you are referring to the AA selection this year, then absolutely not.

If you are referring to the list of career achievements, I actually reigned them back in a bit after my first draft ?

Well he is not in the midfield. Maybe will get on the bench. 

Absolute [censored] joke. But then look at the selectors. 

Was always going to be on the bench. He is in most people’s AA team.

Why jaded? He is competing against a large number of very good players. Supporters almost always think their players are the best when quite often they are somewhat less.

You think Dangerfield has had a better season than Oliver, or that his punchable head is in because he’s a “big name”?

I can see why Gawn might as he has been the stand out Ruckman this year but why Clarry?

yes he has had a good year for us but in the position he plays there are a large number of very good players.

It is like the Mid fielders award there are some very good players scoring votes every week. 

3rd for total disposals, 2nd for contested posessions, 3rd for total tackles, 7th total inside-50s, 5th for clearances, 5th for score involvements.

Your inside midfielders this year are Patrick Cripps, Tom Mitchell, Clayton Oliver and fresh air.

Worth noting that Oliver has both of those two well covered for tackles. And score involvements, too, though that's hardly fair on Cripps, playing for Carlton and all.

Dustin Martin has not had a better year than Oliver. Got in on his name

lol, Ben Brown will be on the bench next to Clayton Oliver, both sitting there going 'what the fork do I have to do?'

 

Gunston wasn't a great choice. How Devon Smith didn't start I'll never know

Making an All Australian bench is still making All Australian. It’s nothing to scoff at.

    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
