Yeo and Macrae unlucky to miss.

If I had a choice of any player to augment our current list it would probably be one of these 2.

Yeo is so adaptable, could play anywhere and do it well, strong in the contest and in the air.  Macrae is the wingman we need.

What the hell, lets get them both.

Make it happen PJ before you hand over your desk...

Cant believe there isnt a thread to congratulate Max and Clarry....   guess this one will have to do.

Well done to both boys.   Though its laughable Oliver was on the bench and not in the starting 18.

Shane Edwards LOL

Franklin in the team cos of his name....  and they gave him the captaincy.  Geez.

And Tom Hawkins didnt make it....  I bet hes crying.  But not as much as he will be crying after Frost destroys him in the Elimination final.

Not quite sure what your beef is in this thread. I saw around 10 predicted media sides in the last week or so, and all had him in the side (all bar one starting). So to continually try and call out posters for bias seems a little odd.

Most supporters wanted to see him get his just reward, and as far as I'm concerned, he did, as I couldn't care less about starting vs bench.

Team supporters are quite often biased about their players  it is a normal situation. My beef is that a lot of the same supporters then can any one who has a different view.

If people charged with picking the team pick a different player to the team supporters choice it does not make the selector an idiot which is the way same supporters label them.

All wisdom does not flow from supporters on Demonland.

Quite often the "experts" actually get it right.

We scored 300 points more than the Hawks, yet they had 2 forwards in the team while we had none. Did Gunston and Bruest kick all of their goals this year?

Based on our forwards performance over the year who would you replace those two with from the MFC?

Giving Franklin the captaincy was hideous. Definitely Shannon Hurn for mine.

How anyone here gets angry about Clayton being selected AA but starting on the bench is baffling.

Would like to know why and how Franklin was named AA captain this year?

 

Interesting how opinions vary but personally I loved Franklin's selection as Captain...

Buddy as captain is bizarre. On what basis did they arrive at that decision?

 

If The All Australian team was to play another bizarro world, alternative universe All Australian Team, I'd want someone with some experience leading my team. 8 All Australians is an incredible achievement. And his "kick it to me" comment was gold.

I'm not necessarily saying we should have someone in the forward line, just trying to work out what the criteria is for those 2 to get in. With 2 players representing your team in the fwd line, you should've really had a dominant attack, the Hawks didn't.

I have no idea if they are worthy or not the only Hawthorn game I watched this year was against us.

Probably the vibe 'layzie', it just felt right to me.

A great champion honoured, and he is a champion of the game a term that shouldn't be used lightly.

I get why others don't like it but I do.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
