In: Dunn, Whelan, Bate, Rivers, Sylvia, Holland

Out: Weetra, Garland, Buckley, Yze, Miller, ??? (one more, I can't decide but Whelan prob. won't play)

Put money on us next week. Our odds will be astronomical but after the high that Footscray had last week I reckon we will bring them back down to earth.

Watch this space.

Why Buckley?

I thought he was great with limited opportunity, he provided the little run that was shown through the day. I would be peeved if he got the boot.

Posted

I feel as though we will be just as disappointing as this past week. I have no expectations. I'll be there, but the only people whose expectations matter are the players themselves.

Posted

Why Buckley ..why Weetra ? Buckley is still raw..but was trying.. Weetra one of the few al lday to read the ball and effect any spoils or turnovers.. sure he stuffed a few thigs up..but given the day..I'll forgive him them !!

Posted

My optimism for my club says we will win, reality should be a cold thing to face on Saturday.

However hopefully we get some players back!!

More likely this though.

In: Dunn, Rivers, Bartram (hopefully) and Sylvia.

(also maybe Frawley)

Out: Weetra, Garland, Wheatley (barely got on) and Miller.

Would like to see Holland come in, maybe Frawley. Yze should have a few weeks at sandy to think about it, as should Davey.

Would like to see Meesen play!!!

Hope our 22 is this, noting I don't think Bate or Whelan will be ready.

Bell Carroll Frawley/Holland

Bruce Rivers Bartram

Sylvia Mclean Moloney

Green Newton Dunn

Robbo Neitz Davey

White Jones Mcdonald

Inter: Buckley, Johnson, Morton, Frawley/Holland

We have the MCG advantage over them...

Who plays on Brad Johnson?

Bruce.

Bruce.

As usual, and rightly so.

We probably have the best match up for Johnson in the league.

I think some have yet to take on board the idea we are in for a lot of pain this season. There is no point bringing in older players at the expense of getting more games in some of the newbies.

You want Weetra and Bucks to develop...leave them on..their only crime was being raw...not of 'not' trying. !! if they show they dont loook like having "IT"...then replace them.

I couldnt care less if we lose every game this year now.. I will however be truly [censored] off if we have tried to win a handful of meaningless games at he expense of bringing some on.

You also need to be guarded agaisnt makig wholsael changes wek in week out.. as you break what litel tangible harmony may exist. The boys need to get used to playing with each other.

Only those that are truly fit ought get a look in. Otherwise let the shameful buggers make their own restituion!!

You would think Bell would be a good match up wouldn't you?

Or Wheels would be nice

Not Whelan. Not big enough. Bell or Bruce.

1. Bulldogs do not have a power forward. Yes Welsh and Johnson have kicked our a% throughout time but we have the men to man up on them.

2. Neitz and Newton will not play as bad as they did last week.

3. Bruce, McLean, Sylvia and Jones will be better for the run.

4. Davey will play in the forward line.

5. Sylvia is our new enforcer. He has to be in the middle of the ground, smashing West and Co.

6. Harris is a great spoiler but I would argue Shite under pressure. He will make a lot of spoils which is why Davey and Maric need to be at his feet.

7. Minson is shite. White will kick his arse.

We gave up any pretence at an advantage at out home ground last Sunday !!

Johnson will worry us..

Any reason you dropped PJ? Was BOG against the Hawks.

Probably Bell to Johnson.

Dropped by accident.

He was suppossed to be there over Meesen, will edit.

Good move, drop Davey, our only really quick, defensive forward and freakish goalkicker after one average game.

I seriously believe we have to not worry about winning for a while. We have to change the culture at this club. That has to start by dropping the senior blokes who let us down, and the kids who aren't up to it and not letting them back in until they have earnt it. Give anyone a run, I don't care, just don't let blokes continue to get selected when they are not having a crack and/or are not up to it. Just dropping Yze and Weetra etc is not enough. The axe must be swung, and we will continue to be belted, but even by the end of this season we would have noticed a change in the way players are going about it when selected.

I would be happy to see a number of White, Yze, Miller, Carroll, Davey, Bruce, Wheatley and Robbo dropped and also Petterd, Bell, Garland, Buckley and Newton

Obviously that's 13 and too many but I want to see 7 or 8 of them gone

We are obviously not going to win the flag so who gives a rat's about the 4 points this week? Short term pain long term gain

He did not want a bar of it on Sunday, you could see it - that should be grounds for dismissal for any player at any club at any time

Ok delist Davey now. Did you see the Essendon game? Do you know what destroyed the Roos, the pace of their Aboriginal players. Yes, lets dump our good one.

Not really. Try Sportsbet (Darwin) @ $2.95 and Ozbet (WA) @ $3.00. I for one shan't be tempted.

Serious!? I though we would be paying at least $4.50!

I'm quick too.

Doesn't mean I can play football

    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.
