Anyone who can mark, beat an opponent. Gawn was a disgrace tonight. Lowered his colours, Jackson is in the departure lounge

OUT: Harmes, Tomlinson, Melksham
IN: BBB, Lever, Bowey

Play Bowey has a high half forward and let him run wherever his heart desires

I say give BB another week to reclaim fitness. Forward functioned well so no need to rush him back

In Lever

Out Tommo

They need to get Brayshaw the heck out of the backline. He’s undone the balance of it. Completely unaccountable. Doesn’t provide genuine line breaking and can’t hit the side of a barn. Just zones off a mile and racks up chip kicks or long bombs.

If JJ needs a rest he can go to the wing. Otherwise just drop him and bring in Bowey or Hunt and get back to the structure of last year.

Otherwise it’s Brown for Weid and Lever for Tomlinson and that’s about it. 

Melksham for JVR, Chandler or Bedford? I doubt it.

I don’t think the selections really matter, will come down to whether we take our chances or not and whether the will to win is as strong as we saw in 2021, other than that it’s just shuffling the deck really.

Ah no. 2 out of form ruckman, doesn’t make a good one

Lever in for Tomlinson.

Harmes out. Hunt in, brings balance to the backline. Gus returns to the wing. As good as he’s been down back, the balance isn’t working compared to last year. 

I’d drop Jackson too but we have no viable replacements so he stays despite being poor for weeks now.

Again, who will you have replace Max or Jackson???  Yes they are out of form, but there is actually nobody on our list to replace them even if we wanted to.

There are some crazy emotional posts in this thread. 

Fit BBB and Lever would come in, but I do t think you need to change much. Jamara played a blinder and was the difference.

BBB could replace Jackson, but other than that we are pretty exposed

I did post back in 2018 that reading this site was like being trapped on public transport with a pack of schoolgirls, it hasn't changed.

    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
