If Omac comes in and goes to Lynch or Jack and gets manhandled like a 5 year old I will spew up.

He is a young tall, and one who showed some good signs at the end of 2018.  With Hogan on the way out we needed to ensure that we kept those young players around.  I still have some faith left that we can turn him into a player, as he is still pretty young and some talls take more time than others.

The coaching staff must want him to work on some things before he gets a run in the seniors, and with a full list to pick from I'm not surprised that they might go for someone like Brown ahead of him at this point in time.

What I see is Jackson and Weideman working in ruck tandem, when Maxy is beyond rucking.

I think Goodwin wants us to desperately play fast ball like Saints/Bris/Tigers but we don't have the skill or systems built in to do so. The one time we did versus Geelong it looked a touch sloppy but resulted in a Fritta goal. 

I just have no idea what Goodwins plan is? 

Anyways whatever, I'm going into all games expecting to lose 

If we beat Tigers I'll be stunned 

I don't think Goodwin knows either.

From Egan seconds practice match review:

"After being left out of Melbourne’s best 22, Harley Bennell made the most of his opportunities against the Cats, booting four of his side's seven goals." 

Clearly not chasing or tackling, etc. but I'd have thought someone who might be some chance of either hitting the scoreboard or helping someone else to would be worth a shot? 

Only Brown worth a look out of that mob.

Does anyone have any insight into why Weed is not being considered, thought he would be our new Hogan, McDonald players better when someone else is the focal point

Garlett would've been our top goal scorer last year if he'd played every game, so no. Rightly or wrongly, Goodwin's track record is caring about defensive pressure over goalscoring.

Weid still missing !! Surely he needs a chance. Or has Goodwin marked his card and set for trade. 

Massive mistake if we trade Weid, if he's fit this year is perfect to play him every game together with T Mac to work on cohesion

Listened to Plapp on the zoom call.  He spelled it out.  All good with Weid.

I mean if there’s one thing our forwardline is missing is undersized players. 
 

Why the [censored] no Weid? And how are some of these guys being named ahead of Jones and Jetta?

Another puzzling team selection week. 

if Jones, Jetta, and Bennell are not in the current 25 players to be selected from then The place is PARKED!!

They must feel totally peeved!

Weeds? Enjoy Collingwood next year where you will blossom son!

Seriously, Spargo? Oscar? 

Give me a break!

Yep, like all was good with Hoges and all was good with Howey and all was good with Chip.

Anyone else all was good with.

If all was good he would be playing.

These guys can't select a team.

Hate to say it, but Goodwin is ruining a talented list with his team selection and game plan

I hope he proves me wrong but l doubt it

to be honest, i understand why they keep persisting with spargo - the amount of goal chains he was involved with in the 2018 season is what they're looking for with the mid-sized and small forwards

he showed in 2018 that he's a smart footballer who can actually see the short kick and attempt to hit that target

unfortunately he's also a midget who our mids persist with kicking it on the top of his head and more often than not seems to duck his head and when he does get it he miss easy targets, so.....

I watched Spargo in 2018 and some of his delivery as the 2nd last person in the chain was excellent, however he's never looked fit to me, puffing and hands on knees constantly

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.
