My best guess based on that list:

Backline

Stewart May Lever

Allir Weitering Rich

Midfield

Gawn(c) Wines Oliver

Bont Walsh Miller

Forwards (+ Mids who can play forward)

Petracca Hawkins Stringer

Greene McKay Papley

Interchange (Mids who couldn't fit in the 18)

Salem Parish Macrae Zorko

 

I would have had Boak in but apparently I can't choose him so I'll go with Zorko. 

I think I'm being greedy having Salem on the bench so of they go NicNat he'll probably fall out but I feel like a bloke that can't play more than 15 minutes a game shouldn't be in the side

Papley and Cameron you could flip a coin, I think Cameron had a slow start to the year so I went Papley

I hope Gawny gets the captaincy, I think the dogs free fall might have cost Bont his chance at it, but I wouldn't be upset at Greene getting it his leadership turned that side around mid year. Other than that there isn't many choices

I’d love if the followers line was Gawn, Oliver, Petracca all together 

I'd love this too but unfortunately Trac's too good so they'll make him a forward so they can get Wines and Walsh in the middle

The future is bright. 

 

This is really interesting. It shows that not only are we doing well now, but we have also set ourselves up for sustained success. 

If I were a Geelong, Richmond, Hawthorn or West Coast supporter, I could live with these numbers because it's a consequence of having been successful. On the other hand, it suggests more pain is in store for supporters of Carlton, Collingwood and St Kilda.

What a huge change this is for us supporters seven players nominated in the All Australian Team, I can remember the envy that I felt when the top sides would dominate the AATeam and we would hope to get a Dee into the team. This is what real success feels like it is all encompassing and hard earned I feel so happy and grateful to be a Dee supporter.!!!

Gawn and Naitanui will both be in the side, as they should be.  Both are in the top echelon of players in the competition.  Two rucks is now "normal" for AA sides. 2010 - Sandilands, Jamar; 2012 - Naitanui, Cox; 2018 - Gawn; Grundy; 2019 - Grundy, Gawn; 2020 - Naitanui, Gawn.  Darcy has been named in the 40 as the "heir apparent".

Ah yes, Lever in his favoured position of left back pocket.

Stoked to see May get the nod in full back. Deserves it after missing out last year.

Yep. Weitering has had a better more consistent season. 

Agree totally, I am quite shocked Weitering wasn’t named on the ground.

Never heard of Coaches Best Young Player award.

Neither. What a confusing award. How is it different to Rising Star?

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
