that is such a young (albeit exciting) team.

the only players really missing from it are Bartram, Sylvia and Rivers (all of whom are really young anyways) and whelan.

who wouldv thought in round 1 last year, that our round 1 team this year would have in it:

Garland, Pettard, Buckley, Newton and Weetra in our best 22 players...

what a huge rise out of the wilderness from isaac weetra. he was average in sandy ressies last year, and now debuts round 1

Yep. Frawley will play I reckon if there's a dropout. Thrilled they've gone with PJ over Jamar who is cooked. Bode will come into the side in time, he's still young, no reason to freak out.

I wouldn't have played Weetra, but at the same time I'm excited that the powers that be are all for him playing so soon. Shows they have some faith in him, playing him ahead of some of the other players. Morton isn't as much of a shock, but I still didn't think he'd play.

I'll be interested to see what happens on game day. While they're playing debutants too, I worry about our depth. I'm not sure we'll see too much, but as far as I'm concerned this is a good day. DB has proven he's all for playing the young guys. When Morton and Weetra line up, we'll have taken a step already, no matter what the result.

Wow - i know its early days, but good to see some of the later draft picks forcing their way into the side

Newton pick 43 in the 04 draft

Buckley pick 53 in the 05 draft

Weetra pick 62 in the 06 draft

Garland pick 46 in the 06 draft

OK, throwing this out there...

I was talking to Newton at a safeway yesterday, he said he would play in a pocket (argh!) and that Miller has been training as CHF.

Moving past the Miller at CHF issue, who will play in the backline w/o Frawley, Bode, and Miller.

Williams Boyle Roughhead

Wheatley Garland Carroll

Dew Franklin Rioli

Macca Bell Petterd

Maybe Bell could go to Williams and Carroll to Franklin but that backline doesn't strike confidence. Especially considering we will need Macca in the middle.

Still, who knows if it will out like this, remember there are rumours about Williams and Boyle, maybe DB knows something we don't.

I think DB will play Miller down back until Rivers comes back into the side next week or the week after.

I have to agree with you Kev (even though I'm not a big fan of Miller down back). We seem to lack some mobility as the forward line is structed ATM and an extra quick crumber at ground level might be what's needed.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
