It's probably too early to get this thread going but whatever.

In an ideal world, we'd get back Salem and maybe Hannan too. 

I'd be looking for replacements for Petty, Spargo, C Wagner and T Smith.

So maybe that's Salem, Hannan, Weideman and ANB?

Was there and stayed till the end. The season is a shambles and is over. I think a couple of high profile players need to be dropped as a statement if nothing else. Gus and TMac come to mind. Work out which of the young ones have the right attitude and stick with them. Thankyou.

Probably too soon for Hannan, though given what we've currently got on the park ...

Ins from Hibberd,  Salem,  Neal-Bullen,  Weideman, Lewis.

 

Too soon IMO :

Lever,

Hannan

May

Kolodjashnij

Kennedy-Harris

 

I think these guys need more game time in their bodies,  before selection in our AFL jumper.

Out - Spargo, C. Wagner, Smith, OMac, J. Wagner

In - Salem, ANB, Weideman, Lever, Hibberd

I don’t know if those ins are possible, but that is 5 clear upgrades and makes us at least competitive.

Posted

Ins: Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, JKH, Weids, ANB

Outs:  J Wagner, C Wagner, Fritsch, Spargo, Stretch, TMac (even if just a rest, he's spent)

Tim Smith should stay in, only one remotely looking like key forward today

A few others looked sore... Petty was limping a bit

For goodness sake anyone but Lewis, the game has passed him by. Ideally he’d retire from AFL now (give us another pick in the mid season draft) and play out the VFL season as an on field coach.

... time to re-start this teams evolution.

Theory is,  not to go in too tall,  up in Darwin.

For my mind it’s simple now, season is done, so make sure we are best prepared for next year:

- Don't play anyone unless 100% fit, healthy and with appropriate game time at VFL level under the belt

- Play everyone who needs to build experience and game time at senior level with a focus on learning and development. Play a really simple game plan that encourages them to use their natural instincts

- Make sure anyone who will need surgery prior to preseason has it done ASAP so that they can actually do a pre-season

- Start the search for new line coaches, fitness coach, kicking coach ASAP and get them on board immediately to maximize time to gel with the group prior to next year

- Cop the AFL fine for not tanking with good grace and move on

Surely none of Lever (supposedly injured at Casey today), Hibberd or Hannan are ready yet. 

Fritsch goes as well if we want to play Preuss.

Weideman was very good at Casey, Lewis was our best... Surely they get picked after the complete Sh!tshow that was presented today

JKH is a shoe in for next week barring injuries. Thought l would let you know early.

Oh! the rest of the above look good as well.

You could make the case for some big changes if the injuries come up:

Weiderman, Salem, ANB, Lewis, May, Hibbard, Hannan. Goody also mentioned KK and JKH. 

The only time you make 4+ changes are when you have a heap of players who are best 22 coming back. We could make the case that 7 changes are just getting our healthy bodies back and Wagers, Lockhart, Petty etc are just heading back to the 2s.

(Jake) Lever, (Mitch) Hannan, (Michael) Hibberd, (Christian) Salem, (Alex) Neal-Bullen, (Steven) May, (Kade) Kolodjashnij, (Sam) Weideman and (Jay) Kennedy Harris 

All to come back. 

Hibberd, Salem, ANB, Kade and Weeds were all in the side when we were arguably playing our worst footy for the hear.

Hannah helps, Lever is obviously a huge inclusion, JKH is okay I guess.

We have huge depth issues.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
