Good to see Miller, Buckley, CJ and Frawley maintain their spots. We need to give them the chance to develop and in some cases show if they can make it. Now to seasons end is a perfect time to do this.

N.B Did not see your post SS.

yep expected this would be the only change.

Interesting that moloney is in the emergencies, may be a late swap? Holland, Moloney and Garland are the named emergencies.

Ashley McGrath comes in for Colm Begley is the only change the lions have made too.

getting excited now :)

Common sense selections........

Moloney's the only AFL grade small left available, unless you count Pickett. That's the only reason he's named as an emergency.

good to see B. Moloney named as an emergency too... can't be far away from a senior return...

And Miller holding down the Full Forward spot nicely. Who would have thought.

He was named there last week too. Only time I saw him up forward was when Robbo ripped the ball out of his hands for a mark 15m out. Still expect him to have first go at J Brown.

No real surprises - Moloney will probably come in if Bruce doesn't get up, and one of the other two if Carroll doesn't

I just read an article with riley talking to the media today and he said he hoped bruce would be right to play, so yeah your spot on if bruce dont get up moloney will be sure to take his place.

I found another funny quote also by riley, concerning carrol " not sure about nathan, he kind of always looks concussed so its hard to tell" hahah

Happy with the team, although I expected Pickett to be named in the 25 instead of Moloney. Very happy that Moloney is named though, I think he's a good player.

I found another funny quote also by riley, concerning carrol " not sure about nathan, he kind of always looks concussed so its hard to tell" hahah

Haha, gold.

I wonder how they get on - I read on this forum that Riley had told Carroll to ditch the headband.

All will be revealed on the flight tomorrow.

Depending on which emergency travels to Brisbane, we will know whether Bruce or Carroll are in doubt.

Good change. We've run out of players, and now the side can finally settle ;)

Expect Miller to start on Brown, with Newton at FF.

Amazing isn't it :o !!!

That sounds fairly logical........

As good as Bizz has been (named at CHB), he is not really in the same weight division has Brown, unfortunately.

Also it would be the supreme challenge for Miller.

im tipping newton to have a blinder if that [censored] merrett plays on him

Hope so, brought him in to my dream team this week.

On sen greg deenham said he highly doubts bruce will play and the news is he is not over the hammy

Do we know which emergency flew up to Brisbane?

If Bruce is out, I hope Moloney plays. Just to prove to all the doomsayers that he isn't finished at the highest level because of his ongoing OP.

I've heard from a source outside of the media that he won't play either, will be interesting if it's true.

a mate who is at the training just sms me and said-

" Bruce is not here, Garland and moloney training! "

So there ya go

Good question Dazzle. I can't remember a younger team running out. There may well have been, but it's lost in the mists of time for me.

Not to mention the amount of games played collectively. Not a hell of a lot.

    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.
