At the moment Tarkyn is Collingwoods best fielder and in all australian form. So far godders has done the job especially on saturday when he kept thommo to just 12 touches when he averages 25 a game. So I say throw him on Tarks and shut him down. Also forgive me if I'm wrong but last year did Benny do a magnificent job on Rocca?

I would play Godfrey on the Pies D.Swan who has been racking up the the posi's in recent weeks. Including a BOG performance on the weekend with 36 touches.

Would Nathan Brown be asked to play another defensive forward role that he played I thought rather well this week on either Swan or Heath Shaw? Just a thought. I haven't seen much of the Pies this year but would assume these two setup most of their creative thrusts from the half backline as loose, attacking defenders.

On game impact you'd say Lockyer has been there best midfielder this year, and thus I'd say Godfrey would get first crack at him.

Daniel Bell would be the logical matchup on Didak, given his cracking game on Welsh this week....

Maybe even Scott Burns. Would like to see him destroy Dale Thomas though just because I can't stand him.

I like the fact that we now have an irritating tagger, even if he can't kick.

Godfrey on Swan

Brown on H.Shaw

McDonald on Burns

Ward on Davis I don't think Whelan has played enough football to be selected.

Bell on Didak.

swan or pendlebury are their attacking players, godders on swan should be the go, he gets alot of clearances

shaw is in doubt after a 1st qtr corky against freo, but brown or sylvia would be a good choice to play on him on monday

man on man all day. every pocession earnt. hit them hard. every oppurtunity we should smash them fairly. seems only Wheels, Byron and Neita know how to do that. when theres a ball to be won still too many outside players. when we tackle keep the ball locked in.when we have ball 50 out from goal NEVER RETREAT

I'm just glad godfrey is back to a tagging role, rather than a free wheeling midfield role, where he was utterly useless. as a tagger he is one of our best, but as an offensive winger etc as he has been used in the last few years there are far better options.

For me i'd put him on burns or lockyer

to be honest, if anyone understoof doggy brown's role on saturday- he carved up mcleod, thats probably exagerating a little, but he kept mcleod to almost 0 influence. Brown went forward and presented and created space for our other forwards and did some good things too. Don't think he will be dropped just for Holland to come in-

Bizz is in great form and will not be dropped- play on Rocca

Carroll on Cloke or Rocca if Bizz is better suited to Cloke

Godfrey on Swan

James McDonald on Lockyer

Bell to didak if he's playing..or on Neon Leon..which means he could play on him in the midfield..which i'd love to see

Posted
holland on holland

nathan brown on nathan brown

Simon Buckley on Nathan Buckley

Paul Johnson on Ben Johnsson

Davey on Davis or Davies?

I liked that... so I went and had a look at the site to see if I could find any others... And I came up empty...

The closest ones were Sylvia and Carroll on Cox, Dick and Goldsack... Maybe Rivers to nullify Burns....

Oh well... there's always next week....

Posted

it's my day off.... Why not?

Johnson to pick up Johnson 2 weeks in a row...

Nathan Brown to pick up Nathan Brown 2 weeks in a row...

Matt White on Jeff White

Danny Hughes on Cleve Hughes

Mabe Rains on Rivers?

White - King?

Pickett - Hyde?

Newman - Bell? (a bit cryptic)

Dunn - Moore?

Knobel - Neitz?

Gee I'm pushing it now....

    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
