Do you think players should be able to express themselves and wear whatever they want as they arrive to the ground or should they be forced to wear club attire? This obviously follows the trend of American sport stars which many of today's players idolise. No surprise that Dangerfield wants to express himself.

Happy Birthday Ron Barassi Jr.

Lever Inconsistency Inexperienced Key Position Players

Fixed it for you. Welcome to Demonland. Barassi?

According to Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Seecamp He later played at Ainslie in the ACTAFL and has taken part in E. J. Whitten Legends Games.

Another area of concern raised recently was the amount of players dodging tests. Surely test dodgers, in particular repeat offenders, should be treated harshly too.

26 Days until the Demons take the field for Round 1. 23 days until the Extended Bench team is picked for Round 1. I don't believe that he has trained with the main group this preseason.

I think there should be a no tolerance policy for those caught. I have never been a fan of a three strikes policy.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2019/02/24/nick-riewoldt-names-the-top-10-key-forwards-in-the-competition 10. Tom McDonald - Melbourne Goals kicked in 2018: 53 “He’s a player who this time last year wouldn’t have been on the list because he was a centre half back, but he had a great last half to the season. I think he’s going to thrive being the main man. It’s different when you’re a swingman." 6. Jesse Hogan - Fremantle Goals kicked in 2018: 47 “I’m looking forward. I think he’ll be the sixth best key forward this year. He didn’t look happy his last few at Melbourne. He’s gone home, he’ll fit in beautifully over there. They’ll structure the game-plan around him.” 1. Lance Franklin - Sydney 2. Josh Kennedy - West Coast 3. Jack Riewoldt - Richmond 4. Tom Lynch - Richmond 5. Tom Hawkins - Geelong 6. Jesse Hogan - Fremantle 7. Jeremy Cameron - GWS 8. Jordan de Goey - Collingwood 9. Ben Brown - North Melbourne 10. Tom McDonald - Melbourne What do you think of Nick's list? I'd have Tom higher on the list. Certainly higher than Jessie. Had Tom played all games last year and maintained his average he would have come very close to winning the Coleman. I reckon he has a great chance of taking it out this year. Despite being a fan of Jessie and knowing the talent he possess I've never been confident to say he'd get even close to taking out the Coleman. Sure this list isn't just about goal kicking but I think Jessie is rated higher than his form warrants.

It's only 311.15 Kelvins.

The AFL are probably beholden to their broadcast partners and therefore this is not an option for them.
