ok, now we have our new draftees, we have filled a few of our gaps in our team and we have more of an idea how our team will look in 2-3 years time.

i think its worth taking a look at our 2010 team, as we will only be a force pushing for a premiership in 2-3 years.

Bartram, Frawley, Garland

Pettard, Rivers, Bell

Sylvia, Mclean, Morton

Green, Bate, Dunn

Davey, Newton, Maric

Meesan, Grimes, Jones

Int: Moloney, P.Johnson, Buckley, Cheney.

others who could be around but don't know if theyll develop into good afl players- C.Johnson, Bode, Miller, Weetra, McNamara

our veterans at this time which i haven't included bc i'm not sure if they'll be around in 2-3 years- Robbo, Bruce, Carrol, Wheatley

Posted

B: Bartram Carroll Grimes

HB: Bell Rivers Petterd

C: Morton McLean White

HF: Bate Miller Bruce

F: Davey Newton Maric

1R: Meeson Sylvia Jones

INT: Frawley Dunn Bode Robertson

EM: Green Moloney P Johnson

Can't really see an alternative to Carroll at full-back in the short term - don't know if frawley will be capable of holding full-back in two years' time

Bailey will weave his magic and extend White's career by playing him on a wing

Miller will be rejuventated and become a dominant centre half-forward

And our 07 recruits will make an immediate impact

Sounds exciting!!

B: Garland Frawley Bell

HB: Bartram Rivers Wheatley

C: Bruce Sylvia Petterd

HF: Green Bate Morton

F: Davey Newton Maric

Foll: ????? Mclean Jones

Inter: Grimes, Moloney, P.Johnson, Dunn

Apologies to Whelan, Robertson, McDonald and Carroll who all may still be going strong then, but in the spirit of the thread they've been omitted. Hell, Neitz and Yze might still be going.

On this card, Sylvia has had a few consecutive full preseasons and is a midfield monster.

P.Johnson is in as a back-up ruck and 'KP utility', almost like Holland is now.

I've got no frickin idea who our number one ruck is. Jamar or Meesen? Some brilliant Noob we get in next years draft at pick 16?

Bellchambers, after picking him up in this years PS or Rookie Draft?

Miller is touch and go whether he'll come good. We'll know if he'll be around in 2010 within the first half of 08, I think.

Obviously Garland is a question mark, maybe it'll be McNamara, maybe someone we rookie this year, maybe even Warnock will be our third tall defender.

I can easily see our forward line being Dunn instead of Green and thus becoming one of the youngest forward lines combinations ever seen, with Davey the old man at 27, the rest between 24 and 20!

Bate / Morton / Dunn could prove to be an impossible HF line to match up on.

    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.
