hmm where is our first 3 picks in particular Cale Morton?

I know grimes is injured and Maric probably school commitments but yeah Morton? Anyone?

I noticed a theme/ quality for all of the new guys included - They can probably all handle themselves better "physically"

The last thing you want is one of our talented draft picks to get broken like a twig, and both Morton and Maric are both 17 year olds (with Grimes not 100% yet)

Im really excited about Martin as a prospect for a key defender for us and i haven't even seen him play yet so im just judging by what i have read and his measurements and background so i could be just getting excited about nothing but i dont care...:) FOoty is back and im so pumped ....been way to long!

Demonscoast...possibly another way of looking at those exclusions is that we sort of know what they can do. Heres a chances for some newbies to step up and display their wares.

damn shame its in bloody Geelong.. ah well.. crank the telly...:)

Totally agree with you....super excited to get a look at these guys! :D ....Just so long as we don't get pumped

The exclusions are somewhat of a suprise though, cause I haven't heard any talk of them having injuries/ soreness?

Let it rip Demons!

I am so excited to see Valenti and Meesen. Valenti was a standout for Sandy last year and i recken he could play as an inside midfielder (as brock is injured) along side Jonesy. He would win alot of the ball.

IMO we will probably play White and Meesenas our two ruckman. Jamar has shown us nothing over the last few years and is lucky to be on our list so i think Meesen will get the nod ahead of him. I am not too sure what to expect from the other debutants as i have never seen them play.

GO DEES!!!

Geelong have got a couple of midfielders out like us, but I think the game will be won in Geelong's foward line with Mooney, Hawkins and Steve Johnson running riot.

I'm scared. I counted 10 players key position players or players who play tall, plus 4 ruckmen. We are seriously light on for quality midfielders.

When you look at it like that - it's going to be a huge challenge....

I'm trying to find something positive to say, and I can't find anything sensible:

We'll catch them napping?

" do it on pure heart?

We had two more weeks training than them?

Kate Ceberano will address/ undress the guy's in the change rooms pre-match and inspire us to victory?

Robbo will mesmerize his opponent with his vocal ability and kick us to victory?

Dean Bailey is actually the Messiah, and has come down to earth to help rid the Melbournefc of bad Karma, starting Saturday?

We've trained for the interchange rule throughout the whole pre-season because DB is psychic?

Anyone got a good reason why we can win?

Anyone like to have a go at the team:

My version:

B Warnock Holland Bode

HB Bell Miller Green

C Buckley Valenti Davey

HF Sylvia Newton Bate

F Aussie Robbo Yze

FOLL White McDonald Jones

Int Frawley Jamar P Johnson Garland

Cheney Meeson Martin Weetra

McNamara and Zomer to miss the cut.

I just spoke with Dean Bailey and I've advised him to run the following on Saturday:

Frawley to rotate with Warnock deep in defence

Meeson to get more ruck-time than White, even though we're starting him on the bench.

Jamar to get 15 minutes in the ruck

PJ to help out in defence or attack (if we have no targets up fwd)

Garland to help out in defence

Cheney to release Green into the midfield

Martin to rotate with Miller

Weetra to swap with Aussie.

Sylvia, Bate and possibly Bell and Bode will have to help out in the midfield as we are seriously light on.

You're not far off the mark BBP. I'd have Frawley in the back pocket and Warnock on the bench. If you look at the interchange, where's our midfield rotation come from? We are way too top heavy.

Yes, and it again highlights the backline conundrum when Rivers is not in the mix.

Some things I'd like to see

Chapman V Cheney...big challenge but a great litmus test, two hard nuts

Hawkins V Zomer / Martin...all raw, all big

Mooney V whoever...DB's response to this challenge will be fascinating to see.

Roll on Saturday

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
