A lot of quality and raw potential Werridee really looking for a number of our younger players to step up this year.!!!

Happy with that list Werridee Thanks for doing this!

We have a very strong next 6 plus able replacements for possible injuries.

I fully expect strong competition for some places which is not only necessary but essential for the development of the club and for premierships

I still feel like we aren’t dynamic enough forward of the ball in terms of our talls. I’m very hopeful JVR takes one of the spots.

Also, all of my concerns would be evaluated if we didn’t kick the ball so poorly forward.

Brown out. Gawn to FF rotating with Grundy and McDonald to a lessor extent. Petty to chf with Turner as the chb. I would have ANB out as well with Chandler replacing him but it will not happen. Hibberd out and Rivers in. Bowey must be on the bench at least. I am a little iffy about Hunter. Jordan plays well on the wing but is a little too predictable.

McDonald's back that's all we need up forward. If Brown isn't fit then van Rooyen takes his spot. Injuries and McDonald out ruined 22.

Key back: May, Petty, Lever, Turner, Tomlinson
Medium back: Hibberd, Rivers, J Smith
Small backs: Salem, Bowey

Rucks: Gawn, Grundy
Mids: Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, Brayshaw, Sparrow, Dunstan
Wings: Langdon, Hunter, JJ

Key fwd: McDonald, Brown, JVR, Schache
Medium fwd: Fritsch, Melk
Small fwd: Pickett, Spargo, ANB, Chandler

With the extra round and a heap of games outside Melbourne it really should become more of a squad approach. Especially if we tweak the game plan and need to see how players adapt.

Above is our top 32 players who should form the bulk of the best 22.

The remaining 11 are first to third year kids. It will be interesting to see if any of them can crack a debut. I’m sure Howes will be a popular pick. Laurie should be pushing his case more regularly. But if there’s a role for him I’d actually put a bet on Taj Woewodin getting a game

20 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

top four at the end of the home and away for mine

anything can happen in finals

I’m really interested to see how the Lions go with Dunkley and Gunston (I wished we had got him). Prior to the Lions beating us in the semi final we destroyed them in 

Rd .15 117 v 53

Rd. 23 115 v 57

How much of our semi final loss was them and how much was us. They have a tough draw so will be interesting to see the final make up of the 8 next season.

i think the gap week robbed us of momentum heading into finals and then we were clearly walking wounded in the semi

it was a shocking end to the season, but we achieved the main goal of being top four - indeed, top two - at the end of the home and away

everything that could go wrong in the two finals did go wrong

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
